I take offence to this. There are plenty of cars both in Europe and the States (and beyond) that are low powered by anyone's definition. The choice is there, and a reasonable statement is that a lower powered car will be cheaper. People can choose these cars if they wish. However, if they don't why does this amount to gross denial - and who are you to dictate someone's requirements to them? It's a perfectly valid argument that a more powerful car makes certain situations safer - this doesn't amount as you say to someone arguing that they can't drive on the freeway.

Also a Euro is a unit of currency, when you call me one it conjures an image of a die-hard republican spouting about commies - except the polar opposite. Although no less ignorant.

A certain amount of negative camber is actually beneficial in the situation you describe. As you hit the brakes, the front of the car squats, which compresses the suspension which changes it's geometry. Generally under compression, this geometry change results in positive camber, or the tyres tops pointing outwards. If the tyres were cambered negatively beforehand, under squat the tyres approach a parallel state with the road below (assuming it's level).

Designing suspension geometry is an exercise in compromise. The question here is do you want your tyres parallel with the road under compression or not. Since under compression you're generally in a situation where you're testing the tyre's grip, it seems to me that a degree or 2 of negative camber is actually ideal.

Just for the record there's a case for dinosaurs in the bible. Read the end of Job where he talks about the Behemoth and the Leviathan, or note the numerous mentions of "dragons"/taninim.

Your Sunday school teacher might have been full of crap, don't be fooled by the myopic views of others.

What about something less mainstream? I heard there was some dude called John Delorean who had a brief foray into building sports cars in Ireland during the 80's - surely something this obscure would fit the bill?

How exactly do you know one end of a football from another?

Also, unless the car is turned off the voltage regulators on car alternators mean you're getting closer to 14v

How do you figure? 1m vs 45nm, 40 MIPS vs 3300 and vastly different instruction sets?

Who on earth modded this informative????

Since a v engine has twice as many heads how can it possibly weigh less or have more displacement for it's size?

V engines don't have the length of an inline engine, and are more cube shaped which tends to suit application to more engine bays.

I don't think I've ever seen a non-cross-flow v-engine. They're at least as suited to a cross-flow head as an inline engine.

Turbo engines are "suited" to 6-1 manifolds because there's very little advantage in tuning the exhaust of a turbo'd engine. The 6-1 manifold is chosen because of this and because it takes up less space. If pulse tuning was any use on a turbo engine, they'd all be 6-2-1 as in an n/a application you could tune the engine to produce torque as the turbo spools.

I'd also wager that Skylines make whopping power because of the "whopping" turbo.

Nonsense, you can counteract piston bore with the stroke of the engine to have whatever speed you wish. Eight cylinders were chosen probably more because this leads to a more suitable ratio between engine dimensions.

Wrong again. An inline 6 has primary and secondary harmonic balance - about as good as any engine could hope to have, but not perfect. A boxer 6 does not have this, usually a boxer is chosen for a low centre of gravity/space saving to slap a bunch of turbos on top. A v12 has the same balance as an inline 6 no matter what the angle is, 90 or otherwise. It's a little smoother because of the increase in fires per revolition.

Inline 4's invariably have flat-plane cranks, so you've got that backwards too. Crossplane crank v8's have secondary balance, which actually means they're better balanced than flatplanes - Maybe you heard that flatplane's rev higher so thought this may be the reason they're better balanced? Not so, the reason for this is because of the lack of need for the large counterweights a crossplane has.

Better is subjective, but the burble people love from v8 engines is only present in crossplane cranks. You can have this one though, because of v8 Ferrari's (although we all know the real Fezza engine is a v12).

Speaking as a christian, I absolutely agree with this point of view. I'm not going to disagree that my views are blatantly unscientific and radical, however I will disagree that I may be wrong. I don't say this to be confrontational, condescending or brash, the only reason I say it is to show the distinction (in my reasoning) between my scientific and religious views.

I wouldn't view myself as an unreasonable person, but events in my life and a very real relationship leave me in no doubt that what I believe is true - absolutely true. It's not scientific, but it's logical (to me at least).

54% + 40% + 9% + 3% = 106% not to mention the fact that Hispania is a part of Europe.

Sure you do!

But can it run Vista?

That was an awesome analogy.
