But you won’t be flowing milliamps across your heart, because the resistance is too high. Lay your thumb across a 9 volt to confirm (or two in series if you think the extra few volts matter).

Car battery = low voltage, high current, but only if resistance is very low. Taser (and what you did to yourself) = high voltage, low current, letting it overcome higher resistance and be painful, but doing little damage.

What would be amazing, and by amazing I mean necessary, is if they made an AWD Hellcat. Preferably in Dart format to keep it under 4k lbs.

Just when I thought I couldn’t care less, I cared even less. Carbon “emissions” make a joke out of actual emissions.

To not weigh 4800+. The Roadster/Elise impressed me more, and would probably be pretty sweet if designed now with 6 years’ more experience/tech.

Doesn’t “until Homeland Security got involved” kind of obliterate the whole argument? It’s like saying black street gangsters get shot while their white counterparts in organized crime get away clean (aside from the RICO and tax evasion charges that put them away for life).

I don’t see the problem...hop on bladeforums.com and you’ll see countless custom knife makers doing amazing things with metal. Competitive pistol shooters have become their own gunsmiths, and distance shooters are DIYing precision rifles that used to be limited to those with 5 figures to spend.

It’s futile to inject reason into a Gawker debate. Thou shalt not question the narrative.

Muh victimhood!

It has a great 0-25, but 181 hp means you hit a wall at 3500rpm so hard you’ll go through the windshield.

It may feel good to stick it to everyone else by slapping a punitive 500% tax on something essential to them, just bear in mind you’re helping create an omnipotent government whose arbitrary powers will eventually come after something you value.

Well at least you’re being honest about using government power to grant yourself special privileges at the expense of others...

That’s a good idea, and I’d add that as much as possible they should try to put the stations in parking lot islands and in between rows where 4 spots meet. I’m sure it’ll be a little costlier vs. putting them right near the building, but it would add a lot of flexibility and avoid going down the path of special…

I would take a newer, AWD 911 Turbo over paying a premium for the GT2’s “exclusivity” while not being able to put down the power.

So gas cars can’t park in spots with chargers, even if that’s what’s available? Will electric cars be banned from taking up normal spots then, or are some drivers more equal than others?

Ban gas cars from spots with chargers, and if the rest of the lot is full they’re just out of luck? Are electric cars banned from regular spots? Or are some drivers more equal than others?

The preference for a V8, I6, H6, and to a lesser degree V12 is tied to the inherent characteristics of those engines: inherent balance, ability to rev freely, etc. Others are typically picked as compromises based on things like packaging.

Correct. The problem is that TC is banned. Let’s fix that.

Cylinder count is anything but arbitrary. Like displacement, it’s a fundamental limitation of an engine, and just about everything else you do is affected by it.

Porsche uses inherently-balanced and low COG flat-6s. Very different from a V6.
