No, dumbfuck. First, you didn't cite a year, as usual with your lies. Second, the EPA requires EVERY combination of engine/transmission available in EVERY model to be tested. There's no, well this engine/transmission combo is OK in this car, so we'll use it in that car too. The window sticker will reflect the test results for what's in THAT vehicle, tested in THAT model. It ain't 1966 where they can take any car they make and drop in any engine they want. ANY change to the driveline requires at least a million dollars and a year or more lead time, in testing and certification by the government. That's the reason they built my truck for two years before they could put in the engine they wanted to from the git go.

There's no way they can only submit automatic Corvettes, or anything else, unless that's all they sell. Yes, they modified automatics to increase mileage/cut emissions also, just like the skip-shift sticks so fucking what, it was well known, and well documented (and reviled).

But mileage is only a small part of the requirements, emissions for hot and cold start play a significant role in the combination of goals the makers must meet. My Ex had a four cylinder, stick shift, station wagon, with a vacuum breaker, that would kill engine vacuum when shifting so it didn't suck fuel when it wasn't going to use it. Yes it had a carburetor, and stick your 1930s/40s, aircraft fuel injection technology up your ass. That shit only ran acceptably in a small RPM range and was dirty as hell.

The mechanical fuel injection in cars was just as bad and needed expensive maintenance at least monthly, more often if you used it for anything but racing a stick shift so you could keep the engine in a small RPM power band.. and it was still dirty. It wasn't until hardened electronic fuel injection was perfected, not invented, perfected, that it became a superior option. That perfecting was one of the reasons $3000 cars are now $30000.


Your poorly conceived bullshit conspiracy theories don't fit the law or the facts.

Of course I did not. Because you were supposed to know this stuff before posting your cum in the board - you dic. Now when you decide to return to an adult attitude, then I need not continue using the language that only the dumbest among us appear to understand. You do not even have to apologize to me even though you owe me one.

Signed - the adult here.

You understand it: that's why you use it.

FIFY

Tw is still smarting over my proving him wrong, beyond a shadow of a doubt, about Hillary and her emails. Now, xoB having proved tw wrong again so soon afterwards just puts another nail in the coffin of a pathological liar.

OTOH, tw makes others here feel good about themselves knowing they're not tw. He serves a useful purpose by reminding them their lot in life could be worse.

Therefore, we accept tw's latent apology and are moving forward.
