Ok the answers are:

Easy: I was looking for I, but retrospectively D is also acceptable*.

Hard: The answer is yes. The viscousity numbers are not directly equivalent for example (and not using actual viscousity indexs) gear oil 1 does not equal engine oil 1 however gear oil 5 does equal engine oil 2. Make sense?

.........

This said I'm going to call Shorty the winner having been the first (by five minutes) with a right answer to the hard one. So take it away...



*There is a slight difference but this is eroded as when a ticker oil heats up it thins and then leaks whereas a thinner oil just leaks all the time.

ok,

what is the current fastest accelerating car, from 0 - 62mph?

a) Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin Turbo
b) Lingenfelter 427 Corvette Twin Turbo
c) Hennessey Viper Venom 800TT
d) Bugatti Veyron 16.4
e) Saleen S7
f) Renault Espace F1

what is the orignial amount of torque that the 6 Speed ZF 6HP26 could handle before it was modified by fpv?

Officially the Saleen S7 TT (2.8 sec, opposed to 2.9 for the 16.4....the N/A S7 is also 2.9sec)

Unofficially the Lingenfelter

F1 cars are slow in comparison to those.

Geez, this is an obscure one...

Im going for the Veyron, for no other reason other than it is the coolest of the 6. So (D)

This is also pretty obscure. I know that the Hamann modified BMW 760Li (stroked/bored to 7L) uses the ZF 6HP26 and reliably generates 730-740Nm. So I'd guess the mark is around there.

There is also a very small tuning company called "Dauer" that has street modified the Porsche 917 Le Mans car, thatis a TT 5L flat 12, it has 1100bhp+ and over 800pound foot of torque. It does 0-100 in 2.1 sec.

Then there is top fuel dragsters which does 0-100mph typically in less than 1 second. Also, by the time you have completeed this sentence the dragster is at 500km/h +.

Oh no you don't: http://www.ford.com.au/about/newsroom/2005Q3/article-20050817-3.asp

"Ford has engineered two versions of the six-speed automatic transmission – a standard version with a torque capacity of 450 Newton metres and a performance version with a torque capacity of 600Nm."

I'm sorry, I just don't like being proven wrong. :p


ANYWAY new question

I can't think of a good question at the moment, so i'll just use this really easy one: What year did Honda introduce the targa top on the NSX
a)Apr 1994
b) Oct 1990
c) mar 1995
d) jan 1994
e) feb 2000

Now for a hard one...to do with torque as well, i'm sorry, but this one is facinating.
How much torque must the rear axel/gearbox setup withstand under a full throttle launch in the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4?

yeh your right about the NSX.....but becuase no-one would prolly get the next one, i's 10,500Nm...your turn

I'm guessing that the explanation for such a high number centers on gearing of some sort - eg at some point in the drivetrain speed is dropped and torque boosted (simple gears - you should know these from lego and science) and perhaps it is again subsequently.

This said I am still dieing to hear the explanation....

It's based on inertia (sp?) you need heaps of energy to get something going, right, so when you have a 2tonne + car, then it takes a lot of torque to get it going....therefore the rear axel/gearbox setup must withstant 10,500Nm of torque on a FULL THROTTLE launch. It is from the current (here) issue of EVO magazine.

The car also carries over 212L of oil/coolant/petrol....it goes from 200-240km/h in just under 3sec. If a McLaren F1 went past the Bugatti standing still, the McLarten doing 100mph, and the Bug plattened it as he went past, the Bug would beat the Mclaren to 200mph. it's tires cost 1400 pounds for each corner (that's roughly the price of a late model ford/holden for a full set). It's brakes pull it up from 250mph in 450m of tarmac. it will consume a full tank of fuel (100L) in 10min running at 253mph.

it trusly is a stupid car....stupidly insane....you'd have to have way too much money to own one....even then you'd hardly ever drive it :p

Thats crazy, consume a whole tank of fuel in 10min... :rofl: What if its coasting at 253mph? :p

Okay, I have a question for y'all.

If I took some VTEC(y0?) out of a B16 and paper mashay'd it onto a fighter jet, how much harder would it make the s'jets kick in?

- 3
- a billion
- infinitely harder
- lol u cant put vtak on a fiter jet lol


:sleep:
