It's just like any other material, before an engineer will use it, it needs to be fully characterized. Making a hood? No biggie, it only really needs to withstand its own weight, people leaning on it slightly, rocks being bounced off it, etc. Make it out of 6061 Aluminum. Suspension components? Highly stressed, go to…

Do SINGERs count?

Raph, did you just copy, paste, and tweak your post from almost exactly a year ago? JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY IS DEAD!!!!111!!1!1juan!1!1!!juanjuanjuan!11!

Pictures of scantily-clad women posing with cars is sexist. Broads hate that.

I don't even think I need to explain myself here.

Mine.

With "weight savings in every possible area", why isn't it lighter than 3800 lbs?

Here's a thing I picture happening: Mark Reuss walks into the office, doesn't say a word. Goes up to the Z/28, slowly runs his hand along the hood. Closes his eyes. And then walks outside and takes a long drag from a cigarette. Am I wrong?

V4's with 90° cylinder bank configuration and a 180° crankshaft sound glorious.

I respectfully disagree.

it's a precursor to their layoff... "You didn't really screw up but the media has crucified us and since you didn't catch some other assholes mistake soon enough you're our scapegoat...start looking for another job...I hear Walmart is hiring"

If I found a date on a car forum, she'd ask me why my S80 isn't turbo, isn't manual, isn't diesel, isn't brown, isn't a wagon, doesn't have a S54 swap, and isn't JDM.

I love mine and I promise not to be a DB.

Pretty much every car is slower doing 5-60 than it is from 0-60. This is because when accelerating from a stop, you can dump the clutch at high RPMs (or brake torque the car to high RPMs if it is an automatic). When you accelerate from 5-60, you have no choice but to accelerate from low RPMs because the car is already…

No problem! To get better 5-60 times, you just dip the clutch and free-rev before dumping it...

This isn't really news as most teams will probably have something similar going on. From what I've seen the energy recovery system sits between the turbine and compressor, so there is always going to be separation between the two. Mercedes might have theirs the farthest away, but that would only be for the purpose of…

I noticed #1 you misspelled "Volvo Station Wagon"
