And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Considering the job the exhaust system has to do that is an extremely well engineered piece of work. Imagine trying to bend all of those pipes and make them fit together.
probably somewhere between 20 and 50 horsepower...You'd be surprised what a tuned exhaust stack can do to balance flow and scavenge the cylinders. Of course, the intake can account for that much as well.

ReplyDeleteI remember that being called a bundle of snakes.

ReplyDeleteI am thinking about the hours it spent on a dyno while they tried different bend combinations to get the most out of the engine.
DeleteR2D2 riding on the back is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteAAaaaand!.............how much horsepower did that gain?

DeleteIn F1 ANY performance gain within financial reach is worthwhile!
DeleteR2D2 is plumbed into the fire suppression system.
ReplyDeletePipe organ. I forget who, but a writer says a Ferrari V-12 sounds like "ripping canvas".
ReplyDeletePeter Egan.
DeleteWould love to hear it in person, not recorded on a YouTube video. I'm sure the video would be impressive, but not as much as the real thing.
DeleteAnd yet with all that V-12 fury, that year they mandated tires with grooves to reduce the speed.
ReplyDeleteDoes Grooved tires = street legal? I will buy the tires if you buy the fuel. Probably cheaper.
