There’s a 3rd real reason: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/tips-advice/106870/what-are-euro-7-emissions-standards
“Same work statements” is a bit of a stretch. Just one example: Ford engineers didn’t decide to make the F-150 available with seven different engine combinations (compared to Silverado with four), that comes down from the top. How about reigning in the complexity that drives the required engineering before insinuating…
100% clean sheet design for the 2.3L, even down to the bore and stroke.
The car is a pre-facelift 2000 with a facelift instrument cluster. It’s either been apart to have the LEDs repaired (pretty common problem) and been changed then, or the cluster has been swapped somehow. The CF wrap on the center console and dash trim is also pretty tacky IMO, doesn’t blend with the wood trim on every…
So long as there’s no jet powered dragsters, electric hypercars or motorcycles, I’d say his odds of survival are actually pretty good!
Could be more of a homologation to maintain competitiveness for the C8.R. Wouldn’t be the first time a manufacturer created a bespoke engine for racing.
The “Chevy” Indycar engine has absolutely no connection to GM either. Ilmor handles design, build, test and rebuild of the whole line. Just like the “Honda” SA 3.5L V8 before Chevy came in, just like the “Ford” Cosworth DFV, and so and, and so on...
Realistically it would benefit purpose designed engines more than an engine retrofitted for these plugs. The new engine designs would have much higher compression ratios because if these plugs increase the burn speeds like in the video, you can run higher compression ratios without worry of knocking. A retrofitted…
So all those engines from Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Ferrari, Lamborghini, TVR, Lotus and McLaren sound weird?
Look up the M256
For a simple question the answer is surprisingly complex. For engines like 2.0L turbos, manufacturers have to balance peak power with how long it takes the turbo to spool (“Time to Torque”), so drive ability requirements usually limit peak power. I tried to find out if they’re using an e-Supercharger on this…
Price of trucks goes up, people still by them. The market sets the price, and the market says that trucks are expensive. The fact people are upset because they feel they paid too much for a truck doesn’t matter. Maybe they should have thought about the consequences of a 7 year 0% loan on a vehicle that loses half it’s…
When I lived in Hawaii I was talking to a guy about porting and polishing. He referred to it as “spooning” the head. Just gotta scoop out that extra port I guess.
Flat-plane cranks allow improved exhaust pulse tuning by having firing cylinders alternate banks evenly. The downside is that you end up with crazy 2nd order vibrations that are a real challenge to deal with. Cross plane cranks are beautifully balanced, but they have two adjacent cylinders fire in one bank, which…
The front end of the GT350 was completely revised from the standard Mustang to lower the hood. Best bet is the GT500 is more an evolution of the GT350 than it ever would be the facelift S550 model.
A can of polish and half an hour and that dent would be almost unnoticeable...
About as convincing as one of those dirty MiGs from Top Gun
0.26 seconds out of 37.76 seconds is 0.69% faster because math.
Can’t decide if Raphael is serious, or just trolling Jalopnerds
