San Francisco International Auto Show (Biased report 2)


This is the second BIASED report.


This is a Camaro proto type. Hmm, it looks like a shark. I like the front look of the BMW Z4 better, the land shark.

This is the real end of the Corvette. It has two mufflers with two pipes coming out from each muffler. The two inner pipes have a valve! Letting the exhaust out as much as it could doesn't always mean your car goes faster. A huge muffler sometimes reduces the power. These valves adjust the amount of the exhaust. Nice!


This seat is for the physically challenged. Some cars in Japan started having this seat as an option at least several years ago.


I think this car is called "Sky". It is RWD, light weight convertible. It must be fun to drive.


It even got...hmm? I thought it is a vent that lets heat out, but it is just a look... fake...


I heard the Mazda Speed version of the Mazda 3 may go faster than the RX-8. It is seriously tuned up.


There is not much space left in the engine bay. We can see the big intercooler for the turbo charger. Hey, how air goes to the intercooler?


First, air gets in from the front openings.


It goes through a short duct and goes into this box, which mounts on top of the intercooler.


You can see my fingers. That's where air goes in. Air is fed to the intercooler right after that.


3 wheel race car?! It says "BIG BOY Toy".


There is an air intake on top of the roof. Hey, this is street legal.

To be continued...
