Subaru Turbo Diesel
I love diesel technology! Diesel is clean, cheap, powerful, and most of all efficient. Diesel fuel offers anywhere from 18 to 30 percent more energy than gasoline. While diesel's higher density results in higher greenhouse gas emissions per litre compared to gasoline, the 20–40% better fuel economy achieved by modern diesel-engined automobiles offsets the higher-per-litre emissions of greenhouse gases, and produces 10-20 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than comparable gasoline vehicles. I am super excited that subaru is bringing out a diesel boxer engine... why? Well its is going to running amazingly smooth, have tons of torque, and be great on fuel. The new fuel for the next 5 years (in North America) is going to be diesel. I am honestly angered that it took so long to bring diesel the North America, as everything in Europe has been running on diesel for years. Well... salute! I accept this age of diesel, lets continue to develop this technology where we can still have power, and fuel effiency.
a street legal car with a full interior
Griggs Racing Mustangs had some of the fastest times at the Ultimate Track Car Challenge last month. The main car Griggs was showing off was the red 2008 GR40TT below, which was quick as hell despite the fact that it's a street legal car with a full interior, AC, stereo, etc. The fastest Griggs Mustang was a 1998 GR40, which had the third best time of the day with Ernesto Roco behind the wheel (sadly, this car got wrecked). A 2004 GR40 driven by Darrel Anderson placed fourth in Independent Varsity. John Griggs also produced some very respectable lap times in a 1998 GR40 Cobra convertible (you can see the official results at Grassroots Motorsports). And a newer black Shelby GT500 that had undergone the Griggs treatment was just kind of hanging out and looking good. I have a ton of pics after the jump.
