Answer 2

venkatraman and foxbat are exactly wrong I don't know what minootoo is trying to say. Stretch is correct. Here is my answer from last time I saw this question phrased as "What is BHP?" A lie A random number between the gross horsepower and the actual brake horsepower BHP is the horsepower at the wheel, after all accessories and driveline losses. Gross HP is what venkatraman was talking about. Back in the Muscle Car days the manufacturers quoted gross, until the numbers got so big that the insurance companies started freaking out, then they would just make something up. Then in the 70s they started using SAE net, which included accessories such as water and oil pump, but not driveline losses. For a long time Porsche was the only company that actually quoted true BHP (hence the 205 BHP 911 was substantially faster than the 225 ?hp mustang), but even they have wandered somewhat. Now car manufacturers and advertorials, er I mean car magazines, all say BHP but it's not. For instance, the 290"bhp" NSX is actually putting down about 220 HP at the wheel. The amount that the manufacturer lies varies by Asianess of the vehicle. Hammer is completely wrong as well. People come up with the strangest derivations of the word "brake" in this context. It means "brake" as in the "brakes" on the car. It is how much braking power it take to stop the drive wheels. BHP is the power at the wheels AFTER all accessories and driveline losses. End of story. Period. Jeez. Don't answer if you don't know. If you want the two points just say "hi" or something, don't make up a bunch of bvllshit. Watching the sunset and smarty pants, you are both wrong and it is wrong in wiki. And it doesn't have anything to do with 'how long it takes to slow the car down" learn to read you moron. You idiots are talking about SAE Gross. Look it up, somewhere other than wiki.

Answer 3

My family refers to every vehicle I own as Christine I, Christine II, etc. Named for the Stephen King novel and John Carpenter movie by the same name. This is because everytime someone else drives one of my cars, for one reason or another, they end up walking, but I've never had any problems out of any of them.

Answer 4

I used to drive a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice in smoke grey. It had Corvette mags (that were worth more than the car) and a sign I stole that was stenciled with the words FUNERAL LUNCHES $3.00. That car was named The Funeral Lunch, or the Lunch for short.

Answer 5

I call my dark green, 1992 Pontiac Bonneville "Big Bertha". She got the name because she weighs in at about 2 tons and the turning radius on those things is pretty wide. Not the most maneuverable thing but reliable and safe.
