Years ago with 650 ordsprog

Years ago with 650 horsepower cars that weighed 2,600 or 2,700 pounds, it was so different. Now, we have lighter cars with 400 horsepower that take far more finesse to drive.

I come from a sprint-car background where the cars weigh about 1,200 pounds and have about 850 horsepower, so this car has less horsepower and weighs three times as much, so it's a big difference to me.

What's unique about these cars is being street legal, they are a lot heavier than the normal type of race car. It takes a lot more horsepower to get these going.

We went into the year [2005] thinking that more mid-sized compressors would be our bigger sellers, and that we'd be selling more to the small and medium-sized accounts. So we were geared up for the 100 to 200 horsepower range. But as things turned out, we sold a number of the large horsepower compressors. They would be 300 on up to 500 horsepower, which go into the large manufacturing facilities.

In the old days, if you wanted 300 horsepower under the hood you bought a sports car. Now, you can get 300 horsepower in a wide variety of vehicles.

Those who have come into Formula One without experiencing cars devoid of electronic aids will find it tough. To control 800 horsepower relying just on arm muscles and foot sensitivity can turn out to be a dangerous exercise.

If you look at the technical side of it, you never have enough horsepower, so you're always going to work on getting more horsepower

I told them (the other drivers) I admired them and appreciated them because they're out racing these cars for people to see, ... These (cars) aren't hangar queens. They (the racers) are very selfless about sharing their love for these cars with everybody here. You could tell from the reception, with cars in the paddock area, that a lot of these fans here are excited to see these cars again.

Biggest issue to any race track, as far as being quick, is its location. The closer to sea level you are, the quicker the car can make horsepower. Any time you walk outside and it feels good to you, your race car motor feels the same way. Cool weather makes the cars go fast. No doubt about it.

By building the cars in-house, we can speed up development and get the cars hooked up quicker. We can convert stock cars to ST race cars in approximately two months. Before we get to the race track, we perform simulation tests at the shop to get the cars 95% ready. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. It's more efficient and allows us to create the right package.

About 38 percent said that fuel economy is somewhat or very important -- that is up 15 percentage points from a year ago. It's passed 'higher horsepower' for the first time. That's significant. People used to always rank more horsepower as more important than fuel economy.

With the universities opening, the demand for student cars is massive. Buyers are looking for model year 2003/4 cars. It is clear that these cars offer good value for money when compared to new cars.

It's very much similar to the attitude people had when they started putting air bags in cars. Oh, it'll drive the price of the cars up. People won't want to pay that. But we have air bags in cars and lives are being saved because of it.

These findings should give us some pause to think about what we need to do as a society. Restrictions on tailpipe emissions have gotten tighter, but there are more trucks and cars on the roads and people are driving farther. This study may cause us to reflect on how we use our cars, what cars we drive and whether we can do anything to make tailpipe emissions from all vehicles less harmful to health.
