Terry, there's an old car guy saying that goes something like "People buy horsepower, but drive torque", and in day to day driving, that's very true.
Yes, Sandy, I have to agree with that.

Why do I feel the need to veer by reporting that my knee jerk response to "turbo" is to recall the software development environment known as Turbo Pascal? Why do I feel like I am making a pun that was better left unsaid?
I think (we know who) has much more to reveal about the potential Zombie Apocalypse lurking in our future, in order to help us getting ready.Hey Pascal, it took awhile, but once (we know who) got his RPMs up, here we are 32 posts or so later.:encouragement:
You know... it seems to be a "U.S. made" four banger trademark that low end torque.By the way, I'm most impressed with the low end torque on my new Escape's 2.0 turbo and along with the 4WD, it sure makes winter driving all the more tolerable.

Well I'll be damned Al..... look who won! layful:
Meanwhile, over in Formula One, the finger-pointing and doody-hurling (yes there's even profanity being uttered in front of eager journalists) between them and Red Bull, over who's responsible for the sheer lack of performance this year, is straight out of a soap opera .
Which, of course, is just what the sport needs.
:monkey:
Yep, Monty Python showed us nobody can hurl invective like the French:
“I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.”
He's absolutely right.I admit to not reading all 27 pages of this thread but I did search some key words first. It appears that Musk is not only concerned about the zombie apocalypse but also the rise of the machines. He describes artificial intelligence as the “biggest existential threat there is”
HOW do I know it's really you and not some zombie with your cell phone?....hi AL.
HOW do I know it's really you and not some zombie with your cell phone?
Umm like healing up well then taking a fall while riding your bike on gravel and twisting your knee? Yeah that's what you mean
..lol.
I'm trying to put a little distance between me and gravity....
Sadly the grand introduction of this game-changing innnovation in automotive technology has been overshadowed by revelations of outright emissions control fraud on the part of one of the planet's other auto makers.
