I love americas ingenuity when they design engines The way they manage to poduce a 5 litre engine that can produce as much horsepower as a 2 litre golf GTI is incredible.
Amazing isn’t it? The dodge viper SRT10 is something like a 7.5-8.0 Litre V10, but the block is the same as the 1954 Dodge truck. I sat next the bloke who designed the chassis from the Dodge Viper, Dave Singleman…..The guy is a mong, he didn’t understand that in the world outside america, there are these things called corners, dips and camber and the idea is that when you move the big round thing infront of you, the wheels move. He just couldn’t understand the use of Coilovers on a muscle car! Clearly living in the 30’s….The lack of engineering talent is unreal. The only american car that makes me go ‘wow’ is that Tesla thing, as well as the Panoz Esperante GT-1….but thats a different kettle of fish.
