I’m a little confused. I thought motors our electric? Engines our fossil fueled?

 

I'm confused too.
"Our": "of or relating to us or ourselves or ourself especially as possessors or possessor, agents or agent, or objects or object of an action."
The correct term is "Are."
Pet peeve

 

To extend the HP formula even more, dynos only measure torque, and convert it to hp through the above stated calcs!

 

Sorry, BigDogJeepin looks like I posted with my Boston accent. You are correct. Next time I beez more carful with my english.

 

What's a midwest accent sound (look) like when typed?

 

You "BE" correct. Oh wait...that's Southern.

 

MN 6.0,

Just towed my 05 Mustang and got 12.2 mpg at 60 mph. If you want to feel what 300 hp is all about drive a Mustang GT.

 

I cannot imagine the negative comments about the newer 5.4's. I have had Fords since 1966, and pickups since 1970 (Remember the Ranchero?). With my current '04, RCab, 5.4, I have far more power and comfort that I need. During my first month I was at 85mph without realizing/feeling it. My previous was 1993, 305. Great, hand care, synthetic oil every 1800 miles by my own hand. Received $150 over Top Blue book for it. It was nice, but my current '04 is like a dream come true.

 

ctfordguy just droped off a 2005 Mustang GT when I picked up my truck (oil Change Clutch packs) And man that is one bad mother.
I had it for 3 days and 318 miles and no tickets thank god lota close call's had it up to (edit) way to fast mph.
I don't think i could own one could not keep my foot off the gas all i can say is wow for 25,000 to have one of the fastest car's on the street 0 to 60 4.2 1/4 mile 13.8 top speed 150 mph all stock WOW .
the one thing a bit on the small side and it stops like crap

 

I didnt state all the mods that I have. The stock powerstroke was definately not a speed demon, but my truck has more then stock stuff. Maybe I shot off my mouth, lol. I know my truck is a contender tho, and I love the feeling I get when I get on it.
Yes, motor is electric, and engine is what powers our auto mobiles. I could type motor faster tho, lol.

 

Hey NickFordMan, in your defense, they have both. Take your starter off and see how hard it is to crank the thing!

 

HAHA, that's right. Thanks for the back-up, lol.

 

So 'Motor' Trend magazine is all about electric vehicles????

I have never heard this distinction.

 

They are being "technically correct, the best kind of correct" to borrow a phrase from the Futurerama head bureaucrat.


Seriously, motor and engine have kinda merged in the English language.

It's still more correct to say internal combustion engine, with an electric starting motor, not the reverse.

Both sides are right in the sense that you got the info across, but didn't do so in the correct terminology.

You should be more careful, as the Department of Redundancy Department might be checking.

I use the Red Neck language! Here are the definitions in my language.
Motor- engine.
Engine- motor.
It doesn't matter what you call it. Just as long as people know what your talking about.
