"OK, my hands are still attached, and appear to still work".
You can see it with his hand movements he is still trying to process what in the hell happenef
The blast, and more importantly the shrapnel.
Totally agree.... a mighty power house of an engine the RB26.
Actually no they use mechanical center diffs. The handbrake has two master cylinders on it. One for the brakes and one to release the center diff. The handle of the handbrake was the center diff reservoir in the car I was in. Crazy cool simple tech.

Yeah you honestly don't want true "military grade" or those parts will cost about 4x as much if not more. Typically the only difference in military grade vs non military grade is the amount of testing/documentation/certification involved. Which is basically for CYA purposes when building Military/NASA products. For…
"Military grade" aluminum doesn't mean anything. Only formula numbers have any significance... unless you're a marketing idiot who only understands that you need to use tough-guy buzzwords to sell product to pickup truck buyers.
I know right, they need to actually put the metallurgical properties out there or it's just really well made aluminum (and most aluminum is pretty well smelted as it is.)

Meh. Convergent evolution; the shape is determined by some basic requirements.
Well, it sure is a pretty close copy of the X-47, but you have to consider that there isn't a whole lot of design freedom left in something like this. Aerodynamics, physics, and the whole stealth thing all dictate a certain shape for these crazy things. I'm not saying we've necessarily hit the sweet spot, but I would…
I'm pretty sure the rev matching in the new Vette can be turned off.
I think they may be trying to "save the manuals" by making it easier for people to get comfortable with them. Does anyone know if the rev-matching features found in some newer cars can be disabled?
I'd like to give you an internet high five. I'm Muslim and was about make the same comment, but you beat me to it. It's amazing how many people I know think that certain cultural things in middle eastern countries are actually a part of my faith. For the most part, these assumptions are completely inaccurate.
