5! for being drunk and not knowin' shit. ;D
9 if I hadn't changed my mind on 4 first guesses...
[drink]
anyone who scores less than me, well, I feel sorry for you.
17 of 17 with a slight hangover to start the day.
More, more, more! This game was cool! [thumbsup] Only one Ford though...
17/17 :)
Way too easy.
16/17 but then I haven't had my coffee yet and only got 4 hours sleep. And I knew it was the wrong answer as I clicked next.
Fun quiz. Reminds me of weekends at Porky's on cruise nights...

Lots of fun though!!!
I started and ended that test on FIRE!!
The middle though.. ???
2/17
^bahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa.....
:-* it's okay, AZ
I know I know nothing whatsoever about old cars.
4/17, complete guessing.
12/17. Meh.
Need one for moto engines. :)
I only got 8/17. At least I did better than Adam...
I don't know old cars. I know old mopars.
The rest of 'em are just things shrinking in my rearview.
I did like the answer to #16:
"A: Correct.
In 1960 the Chrysler 300F was equipped with the 413 ci wedge engine with the wild cross-ram intake manifolds. The intake runners were tuned so that resonances helped to create a super-charging effect at low and mid RPM. This setup provided 375 HP.
Pictured here is Wayne Graefen's 300F Special Gran Turismo. One of nine 400HP, 4spd manual trans cars built with 4 still existing and this is the only one with air conditioning: a true one-of-one built. For the purists out there this is technically a "short long ram". While the tubes are still 30" long over all, the internally cast dividers only run 15" of that length. This provides the super-charging effect at a higher RPM than that of the already potent 375 HP version.
In addition to the shorter rams, the 400 HP engines were 1/2 point lower compression, the cam was larger, the exhaust valves were larger, they had solid lifters rather than hydraulic, carb chokes were manual instead of automatic, rockers were adjustable, valve springs were different, and the carbs were heated via the cooling system rather than by exhaust gasses.
Thanks to Wayne Graefen for sending in the photo.
73% (48718 out of 66300) of the other players got that question right."
I know Wayne Graefen :)
As far as the test, I got a pathetic 9 out of 17. The only one I know are the fast ones ;)
Damn Mopar Elitist. [coffee]
;D

FU B*tch!! It's just your lucky day!! [cheeky]
The shitty thing is that I took the test twice and did better the first time just guessing.
*see score above [laugh]
13/17 ,not bad considering the majority were made before I was born.

Maybe I should ask at the boatyards :P
16/17. Boring though. And those are old cars? Geez -- I can think of cooler looking engines that are at least another 30-40 years older...
Maybe if someone is bored, a Ducati engine version with all the various 2-stroke/4-stroke and cylinder/displacement variations from over the years?
I was hoping for a Duesenberg mill.
