Honda - Chevy IndyCar 2012 Test - November 2, 2011 - YouTube
nice, the Honda seems to sound better.... Is it just me or does that engine sound more like the old IRL engine than a CART turbo??Quote:

Cars look better at speed in grainy video than they do in HD standing still!! :-)
I've always found that most engines from any given manufacturer tend to have a similar sound.
More proof that if it does LOOK fast it probably ISN'T.... I suspect they have to loose the airbox, and the massive "hips" - based on it's fundamental chassis shape, I am thinking it needs to look more like the 1980-1984 Eagle.....
Track data not matching up with modelling data. No surprises there.
Modeling data does not mean a thing since it can be manipulated to whatever the manufacturer wants it to be. I hate to say it but they should just run the current Dallara POS if next years POS can't get up to speed. I knew it would be junk because it looked like an 83 Eagle.Quote:

And then they wonder why it is slow?
They are admitting it is disappointing on Ovals. That probably means they have major issues. There is a reason why they haven't released any times or videos even after what is probably thousands of miles of testing
