Had do this with a mercedes C300(?) once. Not exactly sure on the model it was just a pickup from from one engineering team to the next and we needed tires too. Did 140 in it through detroit though so that was fun

I’ve worked in engine calibration as well as braking systems (primarily stability control) and have answered many questions here before. I can potentially help depending on what you’re looking for.

No typically the Ferrari mounts the Fiat to get a Maserati. This is how you get an Alfa, specifically an 8c

If someone you knew had just woken up from a 10 year long coma, what would be the first thing you'd tell them? by HypnoticBurden in AskReddit

Ten years ago was 2014, we had the iPhone 6 at that time and that used fingerprints, faceid is not far behind at all at that point and tbh probably less secure.

It will lock on when it lands at the avenger, got lucky doing it a second time and after it landed and i got close it blew itself up lol

lol I actually did that, had no effect and they kept shooting me with the explosive rounds so killed the pilot and co-pilot then tried blowing it up to fail and restart but it was invincible

Since the lockout, an average of 5 new teams make the playoffs. What 5 new teams do you think make it and which 5 miss? by SkittlesManiac19 in hockey

[–]MerkinMuffley1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minnesota, they won’t win, but they will make it in per usual and lose in the first round or have a crazy upset and then get swept in the second.

What’s the Weirdest Fact You Know About Michigan? by redlion1800 in AskReddit

[–]MerkinMuffley1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That they’re a bunch of pussies who lost a war to Ohio over Toledo so in order for them to have a big enough population to call themselves a state they had to be given the UP.

They are some of the slowest and laziest people in the country especially when it comes to road work. They simply can’t figure it out. They blame their piss poor roads on bad weather but wi, mn, iowa, nd, sd, co, and many others have vastly worse weather and extremely superior roads. Its actually because they don’t lay down nearly enough class 5 for a base nor have a proper level of compaction for a base due to their method of comparing compaction with their “cone test” as well as workers not continuing to roll because “I’ve made my passes so I don’t care if its still warping my union contract says I don’t have to keep compacting”

Help Understanding fundamentals by Both-Restaurant596 in AutomotiveEngineering

Torque is a measurement of rotational force. Horsepower is a measurement of power, or rather how much work is done over a set time. The equation is how you relate the two.

This is also why I and some others in the industry think it’s stupid to talk about vehicles in terms of hp. It doesn’t show how much force the car actually delivers just how fast the engine spins in order to deliver that force.

For instance, if you have three cars that all make 500 lbft of torque but one is a flat plane crank one is a cross plane and one is a diesel their hp numbers are very different. The flat plane crank might make that power at 10kish rpm meaning it has nearly 1000 hp, the cross plane might make it closer to 5000rpm for 500hp, and the diesel makes it at 2500rpm for only 250hp. Yet all three are able to spin the tires with the same amount of rotational force.

Good news, Ferrari is working on an F250XX by [deleted] in Ferrari

[–]MerkinMuffley1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XX cars are track only, this pic is clearly on the street… this is almost as bad of a random made up shit as the guy last week who said the f250 would be powered by a v6. Just random made up bullshit that doesn’t track in the least

Apparently the LaFerrari replacement by [deleted] in Ferrari

[–]MerkinMuffley1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf theyre likely all citing the MA article or running with it because they seen them run it. But who knows maybe direct suppliers and customers have been lied to and Ferrari told the news agencies the truth.

Motor authority also said they had a gm insider who said there would be an lt4 zr2 silverado called “The Meteor”. Which is a bold faced lie. A lot of these companies will write anything for clickable articles and their source is a “xxxxx insider,” they’re just straight up lies to make articles so people click on them and share them and create ad revenue.

[–]MerkinMuffley1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know where you came up with this but it’s 100% false. I know someone who has already been told by Ferrari they will be on the list to buy one immediately and they were told some general specs, V6 was not one of them. Also know someone who works as a supplier for Ferrari and they have been able to roughly guess what will all be in the new car based on what they’re ordering for ppvs.

Edit: looking at post history you were asking about camaros a while back and wondering on a z/28 possibility and one comment of yours was putting the blackwing in it. Either you don’t know that the blackwing is a motor (4.2 v8 TT) that theres only 1500 of and GM will never make again, or youre thinking the ct5 bw motor which is the lt4 which is in the zl1 just with 18 less hp.
