GEN 2 2019 Raptor New Features Wishlist

Wrong. More parts = more opportunities for failure. It's not rocket science, but a person needs better than average intelligence to understand it.

More unique systems is the real driver friend, not more parts. You can't seriously think that having 100 bolts holding something together vs. having 99 bolts holding something together would make that something more likely to fail, can you? That would be insanely stupid. And you're not insanely stupid right? Maybe just a little slow?

Turbos also generate a lot more heat, and heat is a killer. Further, your mains/rods/pistons are all under a lot more stress. So the bottom line is that your whole argument is and always has been a joke.

Tell us again how smart you are.

A twin-engine airplane has all the same systems as a single-engine airplane, yet a twin-engine airplane is exactly 2x as likely to suffer a mechanical engine failure as a single-engine airplane. I'd love to see you explain that one using your systems line of logic.

As for turbos, did you know the Space Shuttle's main engines were powered by turbos? If a turbo can handle the heat from a rocket engine, surely it can accommodate the heat from a modest 6 cylinder engine.

And yes, you are correct, the reciprocating parts of a piston engine are under far more stress than a spinning turbo. And not only that, a failed turbo bearing is easy to replace and won't damage an engine. Cannot say the same for a seized rod bearing or failed valve.

If all else is equal, then I agree with your very basic logic.

Is all else equal in the case of a turbocharged engine vs. a naturally aspirated one?

Bro. You're driving a Ford. Not a space shuttle. Put down the crack pipe, please.

Precisely why it's better to spread the stress out. More main bearings = far less stress per bearing. It's really very simple stuff. It's definitely not rocket science.

Not sure why you think Ford's engineers are any less capable than Rocketdyne's engineers. But if you don't think Ford knows what they are doing, why are you driving a Ford? That makes you dumber than Ford's dumb engineers.

Ummm... the risks are a little different... you know... because I'm not flying to outer space...





Hey Jazzy, quick question, how many valves, springs, cams, and phasers you got in your rocket ship motor... I mean Taurus SHO motor?

Dude, enjoy your onion.

Enjoy your space ship. Don't forget your radiation helmet and outer space googles.

What new features would you want on the 2019 Raptor? Couple features for myself would be:
- Massaging seats
- New paint options
- V8 engine
- Chrome package
- New leather options
- Retractable step bar

you must be new some im gonna take it easy... but **** with that chrome shit

I love your self portrait. Your mom must be so proud.

There you go, show us that below average wit, you dullard.
