Chevrolet Flexing Its Camaro Muscle Car
McNamara T501 car-by-car histories The second McNamara Indy car design was lower and lighter than the 1970 model, but suffered from chassis flexing and driver Mario Andretti struggled with it at the Indy 500. The relationship between STP and McNamara quickly came to an end. Mario Andretti in...
The SBF Dart block features splayed main caps, which improve the overall strength and rigidity of the engine block. Splayed mains are configured at a wider angle than traditional main caps, distributing the stress more evenly and preventing the block from twisting or flexing under load. Dart al...
Squeeze on the power after the apex and you can feel the rear sidewalls flexing. If you muck about, lifting or flooring the throttle in a corner, it pitches, corkscrews and can go into roll oversteer. Or you can be smooth and soar through a bend like a bird of prey. So far so ...
but it doesn't. This brace actually makes the chassis of the vehicle more resistant to flexing under load, which allows the suspension to perform more precisely. The best STBs include a third mounting point that connects to the vehicle's firewall for maximum stiffness. Steer clear of universa...
- Lightweight, non-flexing adaptors designed for rigidity. - Machined aluminum castings are reinforced to withstand accidental drops. - Support rods that are 7/8" in diameter and are hard chromed for reduced friction and resist corrosion. ...
Age and continual flexing also cause belts to crack and deteriorate. Stretching slackens a belt, so that it slips on the pulleys. A cracked belt will eventually break. The tension and general condition of the belt should therefore be checked at least monthly. The ignition light comes on to ...
The experts at Bicycling magazine gave us their top picks for the best roof, hitch, and trunk racks for your vehicle, plus a couple of tailgate pads, so you can get your bike(s) safely to your destination.
Turn-in was light and vague, the steering seemingly flexing the tyre sidewalls as much as it was turning the wheels. Loaded up in fast corners it felt like the tyres were going to fold over themselves too. But it rode beautifully. And the response to a ...
Flexing its MusclesThe 2023 Toyota GR Corolla benefits from key chassis reinforcements, a slightly lower centre of gravity, functional intakes and several aerodynamic add-ons. The hood and front doors are made of aluminum to save weight, while significantly flared fenders and redesigned bumpers ad...
