There is no race car worth its weight in gold. Just sayin'.
Even an F1 car at around 600 Kgs and at todays gold price would be worth over $20,000,000 if it was worth its weight on gold.
I'm not disagreeing with you and I understand the benefits of OHC motors.
I'm also not saying that OHV make more torque than OHC motors of similar displacement. What I am saying is that usually torque is the most dominant characteristic in an OHV motor. This is even shown in the example a...
That's my point. OHV torque is more dominant where as in OHC and DOHC motors especially tend to be more peaky.
I'm not saying that this is the determining factor but a general influence when comparing the two.
On the "R"?
They would work + would stretch less than the stock tires. Then you could put the rear 315s up front.
This might actually be an option worth considering.
Although the floating disc concept isn't new, this floating pin design is the first I've seen.
Traditional floating discs are held by the hats using fasteners, allowing the disc to be replaced separately. This doesn't look like an option with the floating pin design.
Wonder if they offer...
Hmm. I doubt putting a smaller OD tire in pursuit of better acceleration was a goal set by Ford engineers.
The R tires are fractionally wider than the regular 350 (3%), but seem significantly smaller in diameter (can't find OD specs for SportCup).
I just think the R could use more...
Negative, Michelin don't make a 305/35 19 SuperSport nor do they make a 315/30 SportCup2. This according to their web site.
It seems that these sizes were indeed made for the 350.
