Given the variation between dynos I'll call cars with a 20hp or 2% variation equally special.
Even those vary wildly from one type of dyno to the next, or even two different dynos of the same model. I've heard of variations as large as 15-20% between chassis dyno types.
Yes, the loss should be higher for an AWD car than for a FWD or RWD car, but it's all guestimation anyway so there's no reason to split hairs.
If you want to back-calculate flywheel power then you factor in drive-line loss.
Wow, I never knew of this. Cadillac was eerily prophetic, as many donks later had this done to them.
Ferrari always does the badge+prancing horse thing.
Well done, sir.
You'd be shocked how far novelty gets you.
Yeah, I see what they're doing there with the F1 tail light reference, but it isn't working. Frankly I think it could do with a traditional black diffuser and not that painted center section.
The ladies love it...seriously.
You could get em in '89, close enough...
JDM 300zx. Why? Because in Japan you could get a 2+2 turbo. Plus RHD.
True, every time I see one of these I'm shocked it ever got built.
Looks good, but there's a little to much square-sided Continental GT in the rear arches. I'll be interested to see a rear 3/4 view.
My buddy is restoring a '66 912 and gets awfully sensitive when I call his engine a beetle motor.
Agreed. For whatever reason they sound betteer than all the Ferrari V8's before and since.
I'm pretty sure BMW was talking of electrically assisting a turbocharger a while back. It'd still be a turbo then I suppose, if a hybrid one.
There's a lot more to turbo sizing than cylinders per turbo. In fact, all else being the same, a turbo will spool faster on 4 500cc cylinders than on two. Even just finding the best single turbo for your engine's performance goals can be a pretty mathmatical process. It's not just a matter of "bigger is better" or "1…
I remember the '09 GT-R's selling for $20-$30k over sticker. Now you can walk in and buy one at $96k. I don't really see a price change. I think Nissan just priced in the mark-up. Some one please chime in if they know of someone who actually took delivery of any new GT-R for substantially less than $90k.
