b) Aston Martin DBR-9
c) Corvette C6-R
d) Saleen S7

 

[transcendent]

i wont go corvette cause they don't seem to be cruisers
dunno anything about saleens so that's a worry
picking ferrari seems to be an easy option... too easy
so i'd go with

B.

 

[SlipStream]

I'd go with B too if I were half an hour earlier...

 

[loquasagacious]

I'll go with D - I've never heard of it so maybe its the unlikely winner....

a) Ferrari 550 Maranello
b) Aston Martin DBR-9
c) Corvette C6-R
d) Saleen S7

damnit, they're all top cars

Ferrari 550 is a strong car, but i remember the Aston coming out and winning something...and the corvette, well thats supposedly a strong car (improved over the C5)

and saleen...well, awesome cars, but i dont they'd win it

i'll go withhhhhhhhhhhh....

Hurry up with the next question DaddyK

 

[DaddyK]

sorry people, had work and school!

Easy question:
What is the function of the clutch system?:
a) To disengage the engine from the gear box
b) To change gears
c) To supply power to the diff
d) to cool the engine bay



Hard question (non multiple choice):
What is the role of the ring gear and where is it mounted?

 

[shortygb]

Easy:

B

Hard:

umm ill have a guess, to chane gears, and its in the gearbox?

 

[transcendent]

B.

dunno.

 

[loquasagacious]

Easy: B

Hard is very hard though. If I'm right then it was abit of a trick to follow a gearbox question with it. My understanding is that a ring gear is mounted in the differential and operates as part of a planettary (Not entirely sure on that bit) gear set that delivers power from the driveshaft to the axles.

 

[DaddyK]

No one has got either correct so far. I'll agree the hard Q is very hard so just deem it a bonus question, first person to get easy Q can ask next.

 

[transcendent]

i didn't really want to go for B. i would've gone for A. but i don't want to get it right. i'm out of questions and i don't know the answer to the short answer question. someone, anyone pick something. i want to know the answer to the second part.
