Only vw diesels can move because of the exhaust gas
well about the 16v ..just ..start with the last letter ..V16 aa yeah …
I used to refer to spoiler as downforce
I thougt turbo was a fan blowing exhaust out of the exhaust system.. Turned out I wasnt completely wrong.. On the other hand, I thougt the flame and white cars in Grease was extremely fast, faster than Nascars, which I also thougt was the fastest motorsport
I thought 16v stands for 16Volt, until I read this post.
When i saw 4X4 i though, well its easy = 16!
Flags on monster trucks made it go faster.
i thought the supra “twin turbo” had twin turbo engines, my rational being that one is always connected while you use the clutch to shift the other….
I though riced cars are cool. But then, I grown up.
I thought… More exhausts = more power
