Those 3 pieces between the plenums are not throttle bodies but variable diverter valves to change the length of the intake air charge. They are constantly changing runner length depending on RPM. The intake is so well designed that at speed there is actually positive pressure going into the engine. That intake is an amazing piece of engineering.

That E type jag is so hot. And the XK convertible is very pretty too. I hear those XKs are cheap to own because they have ford parts on them. That would be very nice for the weekends

Kudos to the wizard for not making it a $10,000 item. What a guy!

Yes, if you floor it hard enough, you will spin it into a pole.

Hoovie: can't Rev past 7500 RPM also hopvie: revs it to 7,499

[@Rome1017Lights]

The ecu won't let it Rev past 7500 at all anyways, the break in procedure is programmed into it. Also, going back to the beginning of the c7 you can't Rev past 4000 if it's cold, redline gradually increases as the engine gets warmer

😂 my reaction when seeing Mike Ward built the engine. He’s a famous Canadian comedian who has the most popular French language podcast in Canada

[@jagvette1]

Hopefully a better comedian than the guy who built this leaking engine. And Americans say British cars leak at least they take a few hundred miles before that happens. Nice to know America can still build crap

[@chiefdenis]

You're joking

[@Frank7681]

Yes I had the same reaction. Obviously not the same Mike ward but it’s hilarious to imagine this guy building an engine 😆

Well... the Chevy Cheetah? Was suppose to be a similar situation.

New rule for 2023: if you don’t drive the car in 2023 then you must sell it. That way you are forced to enjoy every car or get rid of it

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I don't think that's 3 throttle bodies. I think those are flaps that open at certain rpm to help equal the air flow for better response and mileage

That 458 is still my favorite Ferrari ever made. But I will say the C8 is slightly sexier styling. Not by much though, the 458 is still sexy as hell.
