    Watch out for the new E15 gasoline.

    It's not to surprising to me that people "feel" a power loss with E85, but I'd guess it's the people that already have preconceived notions about ethanol. Confirmation bias is rampant. In reality, many flex fuel vehicles are actually able to advance spark timing due to the higher "octane" of the...

    Watch out for the new E15 gasoline.

    So the people that support ethanol are the sheeple, right? Yet this woman supposedly gets 35% lower fuel efficiency by using a blend containing 10% of a fuel with a 20-30% lower LHV than gasoline? And this slightly cooler-burning fuel has ruined her radiator and transmission? I'm sorry, but...

    SRT internship question

    I'm in almost the same boat. I'm a junior in mechanical engineering at Iowa State. This is the closest thing I've found, though it's not SRT: Chrysler Group LLC - Careers You can click to search for internships and submit a resume there. Hopefully an SRT engineer will chime in here for some...

    Need help with biology homework

    Need help with biology homework

    I know, Vipers seem completely unrelated to biology, but I need some help with a project. We need to come up with something that works like a cell and describe 20 parts and relate them to cell parts. I have a cutaway of an SRT-10 and I would like to know where the ECU (nucleus) is located...
