My point is:
Keep talking it about and applying science. I'm going to go and actually do it.
It's cool. I know where you are coming from  I also fully understand the theory. I spend a lot of time applying the theory to AutoX and road racing where I need torque. I dont really give a sh_t about it on the street where 90% of these people drive their Boxsters.
Case in point (I have done this in the past multiple times)
We both line up side by side in the same cars on the same tires. You apply torque theory to the drag race about to occur between us. I beat you from experience, not theory. Everything works on paper.
My engines make the most power in the computer simulation software I use!!

Hi,
I most likely found this some time ago, thought it contained several good points and I copied it as a Word document to the pretty large database on Car Stuff that I maintain.
Much of my reply was Cut & Paste from this, and other sources, it's much more efficient than transcribing it for this Forum. This is why I didn't quote a source, because I don't remember where I got it, the source is lost to me. I am certain it wasn't from a Corvette site, because I never visit them.
But, that doesn't make it any less true. None of the respondents to this and other technical threads invented any of this stuff, we're merely passing on the information we have available.
I am an author by trade (have done a lot of Ghost Writing and technical editing for several publishers, including Motorbooks Int'l.) and pay particular attention to quoting sources and giving footnote credits and have often done so here. I must regularly review my work to insure that no plagerism has occured and I am experienced in doing so. But, I don't give a foornote credit to the guy who invented the word The. And, I'm sure that you realize that pretty verbatim is not verbatim. I don't see a foul if that's what blue2000s is trying to imply...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I'm actually not tyring to impy that at all. Although I'm sure you know that plagerization isn't just copying someone else word for word.
My point is that I can't have a conversation with an internet article and if that's the dimension of this converse, it's dissapointing and pretty much pointless.
