I could see a situation where you used a phase change system, like AC, to cool brakes. At the very least, the brakes would be liquid cooled in some form, this would allow you to make them much smaller and lighter assuming your material could handle the heat density.

You’re correct by mass, but I’m reasonably confident that water is the highest by volume. In general, engineering applications are much more concerned with volume specific heat capacity, the larger the volume of any substance the worse the surface area to volume ratio becomes.

I think they’re simply trying to keep the tire from getting to 275 F in the first place. In theory on the way up to temp, this would also reduce pressure change because you’re heating the air up less. The friction/cornering centripetal acceleration/braking puts X energy into the tire, if it takes more energy to heat…

Water has the highest specific heat of any substance known to man. It would prevent tires from over-temping/giving the ability for a soft tire to last longer.

GR86/BRZ easy. Buy two, one to thrash and enjoy, the other to store and sell for $300k in 2050. A manual trans, low mile, desirable color version of a GR86 will be worth $$$$$ someday because they’ll all be modified, crashed, or have 200k miles like ITRs do now.

And yet, Musk donating to Republicans doesn’t even crack the top 1000 worst things big corporations do with their money.

Lol, wait till the people in these comments find out Apple donates to the Republicans.

GTI. The best daily could become the best utility vehicle.

$80k/yr salary doesn’t even remotely bring home $80k/yr. That’s the problem.

*Cars AND houses

I think the problem is that the vast majority of “interesting” cars are expensive.

My opinion is that modern cars are really, REALLY good....for people who don’t care about driving and consider a car an appliance. Which, to be fair, is the vast majority of the car buying public.

The idea that concerns over BEVs legitimacy are unfounded and illogical is precisely why the approval for them is dropping.

Both Schuey and Lewis got a lot of hate during their dominant runs, but it took awhile. What I’m surprised with is how quickly people turned on Max, by the time he won his second championship he was already the evil bad guy.

Exactly. 100% agree.

Max deserves more credit than people are giving him for maximizing the current RB. I’m not sure any other driver on the grid gets second with that car.

First of all, of course the EPA “estimates” something that justifies their own actions. Are you going to believe every claim I make simply because I make it?

So...we should always trust the laws they have? We should never, ever question the validity of the crimes or the outcome?

I do emissions calibration as part of my job, I’m very familiar with both 1065 and 1066 emissions requirements and their future developments.

Wow, this is an insane response. Kudos.
