It was ambiguous what he meant, but ok. I think I misunderstood what was meant by your "11%" statement. It read like you were saying that the...
He's actually right... 638/505 = 1.26, and the power required to overcome aerodynamic drag at a certain speed is proportional to the cube of that...
In another article, it's mentioned that the wheel bearings are only good for 44 mph, which is significantly under the car's top speed. If that's...
I looked at an E-class at LM of Downers Grove a few months ago. It was one of their cheaper cars, but actually fairly expensive for the age and...
I think most are actually under $15k, but I haven't checked very closely.
I forgot to add that I used to have a mechanic who raced his MB 190E 2.3-16 (this competed with the M3 in the 80's). He actually won quite a few...
There are MB track days? That's kind of amusing. Most events are not marque-specific, though. Those that appear to be will usually let in anyone...
Sure it's real, but I don't understand the significance of stating it. Anything in someone's personality can be traced physical properties of...
Just because I own a Corvette doesn't mean that I think it's a perfect car. Also, I have a C3. I can easily rattle off a list of its technical...
The "insight" which allows me to say this is that people get hurt in real life no matter what. Almost everyone was bullied and made fun of at some...
Unless you're a suspension engineer who's fully analyzed the Corvette's design, you have no basis for blaming any of its handling traits on the...
I know it sounds very insensitive, but yes. I'm certainly not saying that this was a reasonable prank, but the girl had serious issues if she...
If this was enough to make her kill herself, she'd have probably been dead within a couple of years no matter whether she was bullied or not.
A part of me really wants to see what could be done if the engineers were given (mostly) free reins: full stability and traction control system,...
The point is that this isn't a street car in any sense except the legal one (at least in some countries). I'm not sure how much the suspension can...
You're right, but nobody ever claimed that it was solely through mechanical grip. The 3 g cornering claim must (if true) be possible only at very...
That's why nobody else has done it. It's a silly exercise. I guess it did work from a marketing standpoint, though. Adding a few lights to a race...
This problem is very hard to avoid on high-downforce cars. As speed increases, the vertical load on each tire changes. This usually doesn't happen...
Mercedes transmissions that usually start in 2nd will start in 1st if you put the shifter in 2nd (makes a lot of sense...). They then hold 1st...
Most people don't drive Ferraris every day. But regardless, I think that yes, many people can tell reasonably well whether they'll like a car...
