haha, yeah... although if one is doing 168mph in an LC on U.S. public roads they're likely to be dead before long anyway.

 

It's not about the engine - It's about the maximum speed the tires will handle safely

Remember this is the internet - You can't believe what most folks publish

try meditate on the fact that a 200 mph motor has more wear, heat, friction, and stress than a motor limited to 168....

 

OKAY. I meditated on it, though briefly , and I venture to say engine wear more closely relates to RPM, not MPH. An engine running at 7000 RPM @ 60 MPH will incur much more wear than one running at, say, 3500 RPM @ 150 MPH. . I was kinda janking your chain when I posed my question to your first email, but now that you doubled down I had to set the fact straight.

As Lou points out, the reason for limiting the speed is due primarily to tire safety. Tire safety is typically the limiting factor (weak link) on most high performance vehicles. Ask the Bugatti folks about that.

 

i'm so relieved you could meditate (even briefly) and see the light and realize we're basically talkin the same thing ....about how much you use something effects how long it lasts...
which makes your first comment surprising (oh wait i feel the jerk)
but anyway one photo of your toys shows a tower crane, which maybe makes you a EO group 10, so you probably already know this.... !

 

couldnt agree more ! maybe its time to consider publishing LIES to be an offense.
