Sorry, but I think it's ridiculous to think that camless engines are being held back by "old fogies." Every company wants a competitive advantage,...
No they're not. The actuators are extremely difficult to make sufficiently fast and reliable. Lotus has been working on this for at least 15 years...
I don't think that's anywhere near ready for high-rpm production cars yet.
987 Boxster S: The exhaust note was extremely whiny and annoying at regular speeds. It got better over 5000 rpm or so, but you can't go around...
I guess I'm going to go against the trend and pick the SLR. Both cars are plenty fast. I accept that I do not have the skills of a race car...
They fixed the tailights! The previous design ruined the look of the entire car.
If you read it carefully, Gordon Murray doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. The article is just mentioning that the designers used to...
It was called the F400 Carving. I think it managed about 1.3 g (static) on streetable (but custom designed) tires without aero help.
What they don't say explicitly is that that's on full race tires near max speed (to get the most possible downforce). In any street setting, the...
Huh? Besides the hideous expense of such an adventure, a C2 (midyear) Corvette has a much smaller track and wheelbase than a C6. Transplanting...
So you're saying this Ferrari is built to lower standards than your average high-schooler's mildly hopped up camaro? I don't think a few runs at...
Caltech is more difficult to get into from my experience. Numbers alone will not do it (and I don't think they will at MIT either). Many people...
It just caters to a very specific type of person. I loved it. Others hated it. I imagine MIT is similar, but probably less extreme.
Active aerodynamics, that huge engine and its cooling system, a durable drivetrain, stiff frame, safety measures, etc. Besides, it's hard to get a...
I'd get a BMW or MB. I always driven RWD cars, and have never had a problem in snow. You just have to pay a little more attention. And for most of...
I completely agree that the GT3 is a great car. I'd love to have one. The point I was trying to make was that there is at least one car that is...
Yeah, but displacement doesn't really matter except for taxation purposes in some countries. A GT3 is expensive enough that that shouldn't be an...
I think so, but there were some 427 big blocks back in the 60's with 6800 rpm redlines.
I don't remember exactly, but I thought I've heard that they only last 20-30k miles (maybe that's just the clutch?).
Yes, but a computer can modulate everything properly to minimize damage. I doubt a human shifting that quickly could do the same. Also, Ferrari's...
