If I had to add my two cents worth, and it seems that I do, I would suggest that the GT was discontinued because it didn't meet higher rollover requirements. That begs the issue of how the roadster s

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Will, that sure does disarm your theory... Those higher rollover requirements never got passed, by the way (or obviously). Had they been passed, the o

No, the reason was emissions. The higher weight of the GT caused the engine to work a little harder to acheive a given road speed. Since the emissions test was run by the EPA on a rolling road, it wa

Not really. The weight is directly proportional to how hard an engine must work. A GT engine has to work harder due to higher weight. Simple as that! Regards, MGBChris@aol.com

The increased load on the engine comes from increased rolling resistance (as well as the extra energy required to accelerate) -- ie. the amount of energy required to turn the tyres given the weight t

Speaking of rubber GT's, when I was younger and more foolish, I sent a damaged rubber bumper Gt to the salvage yard minus the front fenders, doors and rear hatch. If anyone needs these parts or has a

Wait a minute. Unless I am mistakes, a rolling road refers to a setup where the driven wheels are contacting two rollers which have variable resistance to the tires turning them. So the car is STATIO

I worked with a dynomometer that did as Ulix describes. The speed of the rollers was hooked to a chart recorder. The faster 'you drove' the higher the chart recorder pen went. The Chart paper had a

With the efficiencies of gasoline engines being around 25%, MOST of the energy goes out the exhaust......or out the radiator. I was under the impression that low speed "road" horsepower was RATHER lo

You probably asked the wrong guy, as this happens to be my line of work. A rolling road dynamometer is essentially a large diameter drum, supported on trunnion bearings, and connected to a drive of s
