    You’ll still have jackasses doing wheelies on the highway though.

    DB 10 was an extremely-limited run model made primarily for filming the last James Bond film.

    Rossi wouldn’t allow that.

    I am a bit of a motorcycle nut and I love the sound of 2 strokes from the late 70s. This reminds me of those Which is why I like it. By the same token I guess you would not stand a TZ or H1(Kawasaki)

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I would pay THOUSANDS of dollars for an integrated jacking system in my BRZ (or any car I ever owned, for that matter.) These should be factory options. I don’t care about the extra weight, or the added maintenance. It would be worth it.

    In a sense, the SR-71 was untouchable, even when above enemy territory. So while those crews were physically present and theoretically in harm’s way, the casualty rate of that aircraft is 0%. Of course, Gary Powers probably thought the same thing for a while there.

    It’s every racing engineer’s dream to get his own line in the rule book.

    Just speaking up for Team MacDonald here.. Not all of us want to read the nerdy details;) That said, nice write up Mr. Tracy, even a simpleton like me could grasp the concepts the way you explained them.

    We’re only dealing with intake cam phasing. That exhaust cam is fixed. Retarding the intake cam lets the valve stay open even after the piston has reached TDC. This helps because the intake air has momentum, so even after the piston moves upward, the air’s inertia at high engine RPMs helps it fill the cylinder. This =…

    Hurtful

    I like Sean’s posts but I tend to just skim them and mostly just look at the pictures. I read every word of this. Great article.

    I didn’t catch that this wasn’t Sean MacDonald until I was going to reply and say “wow for a guy who looked bored out of his skull when the Bosch guys were talking about the vvt on the Multistrada, this is a pretty technical write up.” and the fact that you didn’t us words like “stuff”, spinny things, eh, meh, nah or…

    so you’re saying I drive a pagani? tits!

    A dealership in Jersey playing shady games with used car sales?!?!

    Well, it's not like anyone will go and buy a car based on Tavarish advice anyway, so we are safe ;)

    STOP RIGHT THERE!

    There is only one brand that should wear that green;

    OMG that startup pop.
