      It's pretty obvious that with the right gearbox you can go just as fast in reverse than in forward (outside of potential aerodynamic limitations). Obviously it's not something you'd do on normal cars but it's not crazy.

      That's the thing with these movies you have to kind of take them as a parody of themselves. If you take them too seriously they're terrible movies but if you just sit back and giggle at them they're actually really good. That's why a lot of people complain about the new ones.

      His Dodge Charger is the family car, not cuz it’s a “family car” but it’s his dad’s. I like how they got into the background of the OG torretto in the latest flick. But technically that charger is the “family” car cuz his family, dad, was the one that inspired him to drive it. Poetic.

      He's right, the Superbird isn't a street car, it's a Nascar car that was toned down for the street (that includes the Daytona.) That wing isn't gonna do anything until you get over about 80 or so miles per hour which most streets don't allow, actually because of the wing and nose clip they're heavier than the stock charger/roadrunner for those years so the wing cars were slower on the road and off of the line.

    There's a possibility that she meant the catalytic converter, not the drive shaft.

Catalytic converters are made to lower the emissions of the exhaust.

      The Superbirds being referenced are street cars that almost nobody drove hard enough for that ridiculous wing to matter. It was 99.9% cosmetic insanity because "it's a NASCAR, yo!" not actually useful to the people driving them on the street.
      And he ignored the entire difference between wings, spoilers, splitters, diffusers, etc. because it doesn't actually matter at the level he's speaking to: they're all mildly functional items on a typical car driven in a typical way, but have specific uses on a racetrack that are too technical to get bogged down in for this conversation.
      That tailfin may or may not have a useful aero effect on the car in question, but was mostly another example of a cosmetic bit stuck on the car because "it's like an airplane" not because it makes the car go significantly faster.

      @@kerimca98 Torque at the wheels matters. Torque at the motor just tells us what gearing we need to get that torque at the wheels. Any motor can be geared to pull with any amount of torque. When pulling a wall, it's really about traction, which is mostly about weight.
      A 20000 lb tractor with 20 HP will pull better than a 3000 lb car with 500 HP, because it sticks to the ground better. But if you've got the traction to move the wall, the 500 HP car will pull it further and faster by far.

    • @GeekOfAllness
      @GeekOfAllness 3 года назад

      @@Park_Place No. First, you're conflating linear vs rotational movement, which makes it hard to directly implement analogs of gearing. Second, that's really not how it works. A runner with high power is necessarily capable of pushing with lots of force.
      Because at high speeds, you need not only enough force to move your legs, but you have to have even more force so you're actually accelerating. If you can exert that much force at high speed, you'll be able to do it at low speed as well.
      Yes, different muscles are used for different activities, and there's a difference between sprints and endurance. But for our analogy, a high-power runner will pull a wagon better than a low-power non-runner, because the runner still has a bunch more strength in their leg muscles.
      In a motor, high power with low torque just means the motor revs high. High power with high torque means the motor revs low. Low power, high torque doesn't do anything useful, except maybe last longer or get better fuel economy.
      The high power, low torque motor just needs to gear down and will either pull harder than the low power, high torque motor, or do so at higher speeds (or some blend of both). The high power, high torque motor isn't faster, it just uses different gearing because it revs lower. (Assuming the same "high" power.)
      For calculating roughly how strong a motor is, max power matters. At any speed. Max torque doesn't.

      No? They were always ridiculous crap when it came to the actual car stuff. There's like one scene in the entire first movie that's remotely even real cars. If anything, the newer ones are getting more real car stuff in them. Not that I've seen anything after Fast Five to say for sure.
