Thank God again... ;-) Kudos to you Sir for taking your time to sort this out in detail.
Well, if you open the lower part of an engine and spin it, you will notice that at least the heaviest part of the conrod is definetely rotating...
Thank God someone finally sobered up on this. Just forget gaining 50-60 hp from lightening conrods, (revolving inertia). Its like lightening a fly...
A little surprising that no native english speaking bothered to comment on that, so I´ll do my best: To design a high performance turbo engine is...
Guess he was worried car would catch fire, so cautiously he parked it in the safest location. Fire post was already on his windscreen...
The funniest thing I´ve over heard was in a cramped restaurant some years ago. One girl a the next table said to her friend: "Do you know, if you...
Well, I actually bought all three of them brand new. (All GTS Euro versions) I put 25 000 km on the 328, the others far less, but this is how I...
So have I, and I´ve also engaged low beam intending to downshift, so this is really a big improvement. But what I really miss is the head light...
Well, it´s just like an electric started engine can leave you stranded in a way that a crank started one can´t. ;-) And after driving more than...
<Last time I shifted gears in my F1, I moved a type of lever myself! And I can see absolutely no reason why Ferrari owners should care about...
OK, so we´re back to square one, are we? The intended method of operation for an F1 is mainly the manual. It also features an option to let the...
I´m afraid you as many others are confusing F1 with "tiptronic" cars with paddles. Those are automatic boxes that you can control by the paddles....
I disagree. To me (and historically) an automatic is a gearbox designed with planet gears, a sluggish and power destroying torque converter,...
Having read this tread, I find it strange that so many regard the F1 as an automatic box. It is not. Even if you can choose to have it in a mode...
It just doesn´t make sense to me with a 16 % increase in displacement AND DI to achieve an 11 % power increase. Also 5 l sound very unnecessary...
Anyone knows about light weight battery in the Scud/Spud, is there any or just standard? How much weight could I save by mounting an Optima or...
All F1 teams have opted not to go the dual clutch route, so it´s quite logical Ferrari does the same for their most race oriented car...
Just came home from a VIP preview of the California. Since the car didn´t look much better in flesh than on the pictures, I spent most of the...
But wasn´t it they who claimed it would be AWD??? Doesn´t make much sense if they aim to make it lighter than the Scud, and will make luggage...
Besides the weather and driver skill factors, there is a confusion about the hp figure, and they have also got the weight figure rediculously...
