linear throttle response

I was giving them time to get down to normal speed, pull off, fuel up, take a leak, swap drivers, and get back on the road. 12 minutes is .2 of an hour so it just kind of fit. I’m sure if there was a prior arrangement it could be closer to a nascar style pit stop...

I found a couple of articles that seem to imply that 143 was the top speed they reached, not the average.

What’s next? A car made of wood? Like a Morgan?

Any heater core.

TORX PLUS.

I’ll bite:

There’s nothing wrong with old engines or pushrods. The classic small block Chevy had pushrods. Heck, every car I have has pushrods. LS or classic 350...

that’s why I like my old Corvette with no hood.

Sorry, I guess I should have included more references with my joke:

compression.

At least a plane can cross the grand canyon...

Not only are the gauges analog, they’re likely mostly mechanical.

The last time I got asked about the extended warranty I just went into the “wait, I thought ___ was a reliable brand? Maybe I should go buy the _____ instead if these aren’t reliable?” I literally got ready to leave in mid-transaction, and suddenly, I didn’t need the extended warranty, because, yes, I was buying a…

And, I’m just as guilty.

As I said, I own a C3 Corvette, so I’m FINE with a car that’s an engineering disaster but sexy. I just LOL when the PR guy is saying “we’re so efficient that we can give up 8% range with these dumb-ass wheels” and not realizing how much of an oxy-moronic statement that is.

Also, the article was awesome and I’m honored to get the smackdown by the author!

Let me reiterate:

Designing for efficiency, etc... you almost had me... until I saw the wheels. What are those? 24 inch dubs? Stick some 17's on there and pick up 30 miles of range.
