I saw a Prius with a radar detector today, I suppose he is trying to save the world but really fast

[pwrmanpaul66]

Funny !

[toesuf94]

A Prius with a radar detector is akin to other oxymorons like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.

I was out and about today looking for fields to hunt. When I stopped at one place I turned back to look at my car and thought it would be a good picture. The only bad part was it wasn't taken with my phone, which takes amazing pictures for a phone, it was with my friends phone. Regardless, it is still a good picture.

They weren't home so when I stop by again I will try to get capture the picture again.

Serious inquiry, ie responses please.

What you working on? Top Secret? I have the tools you need let me know when you need them I can work out getting them to you.

Horsepower is actually a "pseudo" number. Yes it can be measured but it is considered as a given torque (or work) over a given time. As a rule of thumb, 1HP is 33,000 lb-ft/min. HOWEVER, in the case of an internal combustion engine, HP is also dependent upon engine speed or RPMs. To be more specific, HP=(T*rpm)/5252, where 'T' is given Torque (as in 420lb-ft, for the SS), rpm is obviously engine speed, and 5252 is a constant number comprised of many different conversion factors. Using that given formula, the LS3 should be rated at 471 HP but since there are other factors that effect HP, e.g. auxiliary accessories, it was only rated at 426 HP. Fluid/Air dynamics also have a significant effect on rated horsepower as well. But that is a whole other discussion.

Well I hope I took the cake. I'm hungry....haha.

EDIT: Geez Tim....can we get a question that doesn't involve a degree in engineering and master's physics next time. Hahahaha.

Btw, this is a really good article that does a decent job explaining HP in layman's terms...

For those that don't know you

Crash test driver....ouch Tim. Haha!

You make a damn good point, Harvard here I come!

[BenningJ]

There can be 4 to start with. The number can be extended if it a mare and she gives birth. (?)

[DJH]

I give...Again Jason Has to be correct....

Would be great to have a strong Iowa / Ice showing. There are plenty on things to see and do and the support team is overwhelmingly strong for Anything you may need help with there.
This is a lifetime experience IMO, for those that love Chevy and the 5th Gen camaro vs those 'its just another car'.
