    The NC1 Engine

    I would really enjoy driving the T33 (an S2000 for a person wtih $50 million is assets), the T50 is too hardcore for me. I wish he had someone strong enough to say, boss we loved the F1 but you gotta put some more flair into today's cars. The Ferrari guys pose the natural question, GMA or a SP3...

    The NC1 Engine

    Off topic but imagine what Gordon Murray is paying Cosworth for the 100 T50, 25 T50 track, and 200 T33 V12 engines

    Porsche introduces a Hybrid 911 GTS

    It will be interesting to see how much the eTurbo proliferates. Audi has it so the VW family already has some experience with it MB has it as well Makes sense for Hybrids where you have a bunch of electricity to play with Where I am looking for big news from Porsche is when they access the Rimac...

    The NC1 Engine

    The NSX concierge didn't get into design with me, it was more of a we don't do low volume at any of our engine plants and Cosworth does this coating we want to use He did say Cosworth was not set up for the volume Honda was targeting (1600 per year) and sent a bunch of folks over to Cosworth to...

    Porsche introduces a Hybrid 911 GTS

    Porsche has built their customization list over time. I am not saying Honda should have done a copy/paste to the Porsche list. I am saying that the customization list for the NSX was no where near enough, limited color palette, limited interior colors, pretty much no stitching options. When I...

    Porsche introduces a Hybrid 911 GTS

    The options list exists because customers want it (and it's really good for profits). We all know one of the major F Ups from Honda with Gen 2 was the limp biscuit customization opportunity. I like eyeglasses and one of the designers I am into is a guy named Jacques Marie Mage. He is a Frenchman...

    The NC1 Engine

    Very nicely done, thanks. My understanding is Honda went with Cosworth as they offered that coating. Here is a video of the process (unknown what motor they are treating).

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    Though I have seen many, many of your posts, I never noticed/connected the SB thing. Also really enjoyed the botanic garden and the zoo, the Condor and I had a wonderful conversation inches apart albeit with a fence between us. Great giraffes too. Looks like you have a cool playhouse, dinner at...

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    Further off topic I was in Santa Barbara in December Handlebar coffee is phenomenal, with Dune a nice second option Great art museum for a place that size, any museum with a Martin Johnson Heade is worth visiting in my book.

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    So far the best part of AI has been the gains in our older son's Nvidia stock He bought it while in grad school after seeing their chips doe a better job crunching big data than other chips

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    There has to be some benefit. At this point the hype is like when combinatorial chemistry came to town, promising to increase the number of solid lead candidates. Combinatorial chemistry in practice was more like it produced a lot of duds.

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    One of the really fun things about working in Biotech is being able to work with Statisticians, a breed apart. Joke from one I used to work with. How do you tell an introverted vs an extraverted Statistician? During a conversation, the introverted one looks at their own shoes, the extraverted...

    How much better is the type S over the NC1?

    I feel the guy is trying too hard to draw overly specific conclusions on the Type S, a car with little inventory/history to build a story on. For the NC1 he seems to be in a better place. My 2017 looks like it would be worth about $5k less than last year.

    Gen 2 Type S vs Lucid GT

    Plaid will walk a GT all day There is a YouTube guy with a slightly modded Plaid (rear seat delete) and the Sapphire does not really keep up with him consistently

    Gen 2 Type S vs Lucid GT

    Not a fan of these U-turn comparisons I have a GT-P with much more power (1111 per my window sticker) and my Gen 2 NSX (not a Type S) could not keep up with it Braking is a different story with big steel vs carboceramics

    When to get first oil change ?

    My service advisor says go by the car's computer for the oil and filter changes. My car is over 7 years old with about 15,000 miles, no track days. My service advisor has not recommended other fluid changes even though I have asked (multiple times). Some folks here have opted for such fluid...

    2019 power system problem and power brake problem

    Sorry about this My battery crapped out about 3 1/2 years after delivery (codes, limited modes, warning lights on the dash) and it was covered Your car is older, maybe they will offer some good will Drive in Sport+ for about the last 20 minutes of your drive to charge up the itty bitty 12V
