If it's open it will increase the drag coefficient by approximately 11%. The typical sportscar has a frontal area of 1.67 m^2 and a drag coefficient of 0.32. The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.

If you want to find force (F) we'll have to multiply half times the drag coefficient (C) times the fluid density (ρ) [in this case, air] times the reference area (A) times our velocity^2. Now let's suppose we open the sun roof at 56 and 112 kmh. That would take the drag coefficient from 0.31 to 0.42 just by opening the sunoof.

To calculate the drag force with the sunroof closed, you take the drag coefficient times the density of air^2 times the velocity of the car (we will assume 15 m/s) times the frontal area of the car, and divide your result in half.

So you end up with a closed drag force calculation of 72.14 newtons. You use the same method to find it opened, except you increase the drag force accordingly with what we found earlier, so instead of 0.32 we use 0.41. This will result in an increase of down force to 92.43 newtons.

To calculate the difference we simply subtract the increased result from the original, and what we find is that on a typical sportscar, opening the sunroof will add approximately 20 newtons of downforce.

We arrived at the city civic center late this evening. Today had been a long day for Domani and I. I had just lost my passport only days before our crosstour. But soon we would be relaxing with our friends and listening to Lagreat Concerto. A famous up beat jazz band.
I quickly found miss Jade. A beautiful woman who I could never find time in my life for. Her grace was unmatched and her mental clarity would amaze a Buddhist monk. She smiled brightly and complimented my ascot. As soon as I opened my mouth to respond there was a scream. I looked over to see a stream of blood gushing from a man's neck. The musical airwaves went silent. He has been stabbed with a freed spike. In a fit of gasps before he lost his life he was able to say Greiz Crider. My partner exclaimed, "Edix, I know this name!"
There was no time to discuss it further. We both ran with zest in the direction of the murderer. He had a lead on us, but we caught sight of him going into the crossroad diner.
He had been cornered with nowhere to go.
"Give yourself up Greiz," I yelled.
"Only if we can strike an accord," he said with a shaky voice.
You see Greiz is a musician as well. Mostly plays ballades. He was a man of great insight, but not a rough type.
"There will be no accord, Greiz. You must come with us."
Suddenly he burst toward Domani. With one quick motion he had drawn a saber and thrust it through my partners chest. I was too shocked to do anything. Greiz ran out of the diner and toward the ridgeline. Greiz had murdered two tonight. And this was only a prelude of what was to come.

Crossovers are an embodiment of the American way.

Let me explain the free market economy to you, commie:

People in free countries have choice. They are free to choose what products to buy and what products to not buy. Companies are permitted to offer products that adhere to a looser structure of various legislation. When a person purchases a product they choose, that purchase has a positive influence on the products' success. If enough of that product is produced, distributed, and bought, the company will make more of them. This is called a "consumer trend", which is common in free countries, something you may not be used to or aware of, I suspect.

Conversely, if a product is not bought, then companies are less likely to produce it in large numbers (or at all) in the future. Companies are by and large a reflection of their consumer base.

To deny people this choice purely because you don't like it is unAmerican and about as red as you can get. BETTER DEAD THAN RED. Go back to China and unfriend those people who have low citizen scores so your own score rises, which might mean Dear Leader moves your citizen rank to the next threshold, where you'll be rewarded with an extra pair of state-appointed workshoes, cunt.

Had the 4.0 manual. Was good for a while then it all started going to hell. Had an old 2.3 manual and even with 300k+ miles it was great

>>14804971
2.3 or 4.0, anything in between is trash.

Call my insurance agent.
Begin looking at new cars.

Why do you like the mustang so much lads? I mean we all knows its better than anything bmw will make for another 3 decades but still german pride and all that

Will you start buying vipers as well lol?

Please grow, Cactus.

Shouldn't you at least be using diesel oil? Rosella T is like $3/L in America or even less if you buy in bulk

>>14809166
Not American

once I took all the emission stuff off my tdi I used the cheaper stuff, which happened to be rotella, but I'd still at least use diesel specific oil.

1st gen sequoias are some of my favorite SUVs

Get the 4x4 package and you're good to go

I think my favorite is the...

"I did this, and this, and this to my car..."

They go "Oh yeah? What are you making?"

Just the generic question of "I don't understand anything you just explained"

I also told someone about my FI and they said "WOW that must make like 50 pounds of boost"

>not understanding compression ratios
