So I had to get this tiny marvel
Basically an AWD All wheel Drive compact sport coupe
it has a small 1.8 liter turbo charged motor
A basic modern motor
There is no Vtec, vvti, vario cam, vanos
Basically no adjustable camshaft timing
Now why did I get this car instead of a japanese car like
subaru wrx sti imprezza, or the Mitsubithi lancer EVO, or a honda s2000, Nissan 350z, infiniti G35, Mercedes 230 slk compressor, Nissan 240sx, mazda miata?
Well,
1st STIFF CHASSIS german cars have poor electrical but their chassis' are usually very stiff and ridged
2nd Stock turbo charged motor, In this case, it is easier to modify a stock turbo car then to add a turbo to an NA car
NA means naturally aspirated, turbo and supercharged cars are called forced induction.
3rd low profile, this is not a car that screams, " I'm modified", it just looks like a clean car
4th I work in the automotive buisiness, I make a clean fast Audi TT, people with VW's and Audi's will want me to work on their cars. The japanese import market is strong and has tons of competition, this european tuner market is still new and a gold mine
After thoughts
I love my japanese cars
basically we would need an industrial inverter similar to an industrial welding inverter
This may introduce a possible infrastructure that the world can adopt, we will still need "Charging stations" and 1 min is clearly less time compared to filling a tank of gas. These stations would have large capacitors instead of fuel storage tank and the pumps would be replaced with a battery analyzer / transformer / and charging wavefunction generator.
Large capacitors would be necessary because a a couple hundred cars all plugging into the grid at once would most likely be similar to a surge of power and shut down our current
This might also open the doors to separating ourselves from the grid, POWER GRID
No more ugly wires in the sky
Im pretty sure that people will start figuring ways to store solar wind thermal on batteries.
our homes could possibly be charging a home based battery system.
Less 4 valves
the 1098 has 4 valves per cylinder 8 valves total
the 1100 hypermotard has 2 valve per cylinder 4 total
Both have a 90degree vee configuration engine
90hp - 66kw @ 7750rpm
76 lb-ft - 10.5kgm @ 4750rpm
Not quite in GSX-R territory but very fast
Now you all that buy ducatis, remember, this bike needs valve adjustments every
4000 miles that is about $900 in labor
definetely not a cheap bike to maintain Hope owners take care of an exotic Italian bike
Cause I know you all love fast cars but have a conscience
60MPG Toyota prius is a sad sad what toyota is selling to people
they know 100mpg is easy but why sell it when we will buy 50-60mpg
Toyota is playing the big 3 game now
Yes, Toyota make the best car on the block NO QUESTIONS ASKED
But it is a question of what they realy offer as a global leader
They stepped up once and pushed tiny Corona, made a revolution with the Corrolla
What tiny steps they tread with the Prius
Toyota, you are no longer a group of farmers, you are global players, step up and quit groveling behind the United States example.
Notice the Horsepower is limited by Japan's 280 HP limit 206kW/369Nm but as you all must know,
the GOZZILLA revs past 8000prm with a stock motor
so if you take the sad 6800 rev limiter off this motor will
spit out 350HP with stock boost. 500+hp is easily obtained with out engine modifications just a $50 boos controller
BUT as you all must know, HP wins drag races Torque wins races.
this motor puts out 369nm or 293ftlbs at only 4400 rpm stock
This means breaking traction at almost all gears
drives right into me.
2 years ago Im a pedestrian and an old lady runs over me in front of my house with a honda civic
Result punctured lung pneumothorax
Now this, old lady cuts across 3 lanes of traffic to find my front wheel
Result compressed spine
