That brings a wave of nostalgia. I spent so many hours with hot pursuit! I've got to see if I can get it to run on a modern PC, is the windows compatibility decent for old programs like that?

My Summer Car is amazing, but I haven't played it in forever. I just watch Robbaz play it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q982mvXK5r4 It's old now, but this is my favorite episode.

The 2010 version runs fine on Windows 10, can't comment on the original game using that subtitle though. I mainly brought that up as one of the other instances where multiple Need For Speed games were released using the same title (Hot Pursuit, Most Wanted, Need For Speed  ).

The let it warm up before you rev it / put it under heavy load is a pretty good one and shows good mechanical sympathy. Oil temp lags the water temp by more than you'd think and not putting too much stress on a motor before the oil is properly lubricating everything is a good idea. I always go easy for the first 10 mins or so of driving, if I have an oil temp gauge then only after it hits 70°C do I start driving it more aggressively with throttle inputs. Never giving more than 1/4 throttle or above 3K RPM, yeah that'll choke it out with carbon over the long term. Nothing a good Italian tuneup or seafoam can't fix though.

The best racing game is actually Shenmue forklift racing, followed by going to the arcade in Shenmue and playing the motorcycle game, but I went Forza for the sheepy answer.

My thoughts were of the ones who think you have to let it idle and heat soak for a half hour before you ever put it in gear.

If it's below 40F I'll usually go start my car up 3-5 minutes before I'm ready to go. I live less than a mile from the interstate and want my poo poo at least a little warmed up before I have to gun it on the on-ramp.

Normally, in winter I start a vehicle and let it warm up while I clean off the snow/ice and if there's no snow or ice I'll let it idle for a few minutes and then be gentle. The rental Accord I've been driving for the last 6 weeks gets the amount of time it takes me to put it in gear and then it gets thrashed, gently caress that car.

For context, most people I know who advocate for it will do it even in the depths of Florida summer. E: Although in fairness, one of the most vocal guys was for most of the time I knew him driving an old Sentra that was running on 3 cylinders, so it might have made a big difference for his car.

Question 7: We like performance cars in AI, which often means engines with high specific outputs. This is the highest specific output (in horsepower per litre) in a car that I’ve driven.   Question 8: Cars from the 90s are undergoing a bit of a rehabilitation in terms of their reputation of late. This car from the 90s is the one I like the best.    Answers soon...

I had to google horsepower per liter and got really confused because a mustang GT and a Honda Fit had roughly the same ratio, 85ish HP per liter of displacement. Hope I didnt totally missunderstand that.

Jack B Nimble posted:What the hell kind of engines have a hp/liter ratio of 130? I'm guessing it has to do with a lot of forced induction? Turbo cars are kind of cheating at this metric, for NA you have the S2000 producing 240hp from a 2l motor for 120hp/l, if I'm not mistaken it was the champ for production NA specific output for like a decade until Ferrari cooked something up. Turbo's on the other hand, the not terribly remarkable first gen Veloster turbo produces 201hp with 1.6l for 125hp/l. Turn up the boost and specific output climbs higher and higher. With NA it's all about flow characteristics on the head, and efficiency of engine design. Those things help with getting a better metric on a turbo car but they're difficult to figure out and it's easy to just shove more air into the engine by raising boost pressure instead.

InitialDave posted:Yeah, but you have to account for that when considering equivalence of swept volume, the whole "my RX7 is a 1.3" thing is only worth maintaining in order to get capacity based tax breaks or get into a given race class. If you can lie to the government and eject foot-long flames into the night at the same time, then that's a good car.
