What 102SS is true with respect to track driving. The Plaid can't repeatedly lap a racetrack at anywhere close to full speed.



And with respect to 1/4 mile, it appears that Teslas lose a...

I really liked the movie. For me I don't even notice the subtitles after 10 minutes of reading them. I thought the special effects were plenty good enough, especially for a Godzilla movie, hahaha,...

So far the electric trucks have poor towing performance, and the charging infrastructure is mostly unfriendly to vehicles towing a trailer. If the towing is local, no problem, but most towing is...

Very true. I would not recommend an electric car to someone without home or work charging. If you don't have home or work charging, get ICE or hybrid.

I will push back on this common point of view. The way that the Camaro measures up in tests against other cars shows that it hasn't needed major upgrades since the 1LE packages debuted in 2017. They...

Yes, I just built one online in the configurator, and it was $69k. At 2 tons, that thing will be a tire eater if you track it - high consumable costs.

I'm glad I said I'm no expert on engines. The more direct effect on compression ratios is the cylinder head. Changing cylinder heads is less work than swapping out pistons. But, it's still a big job....

If you like the way that Mustang sounds, just get one of the many axle-back exhausts that has no mufflers. IMO, that is not a V8 sound, just an unmuffled V6 sound.

I'm not an expert on engines, so take this with a pinch of salt. To change the compression ratio, you would need new pistons. I don't know if any piston maker is making 12 to 1 pistons for the LGX;...

It was Bob - very impressive on OE tires.


1:52 is definitely solid. Old R tires can be no better than street tires, and edgier at the limit.
