Randomness

I believe valve bypasses are now banned

They're not banned for OEM, but they are getting a bit more complex to homologate, you have to account for the speed, rpm, acceleration etc.

Thanks for clarifying that

I can’t stand the car throttle guy.

£20k to make a car that slow?!

Aye if you're going to spend a pile of cash making a dumb MX-5 for youtube you should do it right.

This one was actually written by Broccers right?

What kind of virtue signalling snowflake wants to drive around in a milkfloat? This is a forum for PETROLheads, pal, and anyone else can do one. Have I ever driven one? Don’t need to, fella. I can tell you right now they’re total crap made for lentil munching eco mentalists. You’ve been listening to Greta Thunberg too much and I notice with interest that she doesn’t actually have an electric car. Typical leftie hypocrisy. Proper boils my pish. Tell me this; what happens when you want to drive from your metropolitan elite bubble in London to somewhere like Edinburgh or Aberdeen? You’re going to spend five days stopping to plug in whereas I could do the trip with one stop, max, thanks to the SkyActiv Technology in my Mazda3 Sport Nav. End of.

He's got some interesting stuff, it's worth a browse through the channel.

an deeply impressive bit of engineering, not only in packaging that much power in a golf engine bay and making it reliable enough to run a vmax but also in not having monumental torque steer and also in somehow getting an aerodynamic brick stable at 350kph

would be interesting to see an acceleration comparison against a modern hypercar like a Regera

Very impressive

218mph?

In a Golf?

My gob is smacked

Didn't mike do 180something mph in a sierra in the 90s? Obviously 200+ mph in anything is impressive but it's not really moving things on hugely.

Meh

There’s a Qashqai down the road that does over 200mph
