Another rent a car...in this case a Ford Karman Ghia. That was a remarkably nice automobile in England. A classic upper sedan.
Coming back from way north of London heading for a way early airplane at Heathrow. Left the Motel about 4AM down the M1. Going like a bat out of hell. Absolutely no one on the road. Cruising close to flat out 112 or 115 or so. Then way in the back...lights, gaining quickly on me. Instant doom. Got to have been nailed speeding fast enough to get in trouble...darn. Slow to the limit. Zoom. A huge Rolls goes rocketing past at must have been over 130...Royalty I expect though I was not smart enough to catch the license number.
Wiped the sweat from my palms and back to opened up. Made it to Heathrow in time for a cup of coffee.
It is true. Best way to actually see it yourself is to start up a sportbike with an aftermarket exhaust, and twist the throttle. You can actually see flecks of carbon come out of the exhaust. Cars are no different.
AFR is one thing, but you are neglecting to consider the velocity of air flow. Full throttle produces much more exhaust flow than steady cruising.
True the flow would be higher....
So the question is.....is it burned out or is blown out?
Camrys yes, Accords no. Honda actually cares about how its cars perform and handle. Toyota could care less.. has always been that way.
Exactly. You actually can drive a Honda hard and have some fun. The Camry? Not so much.
There's a reason the Accord has been on Car and Driver's 10 best list 28 times, and the Camry's been there only three times (in 1993, the last time a Camry was truly groundbreaking, and a couple years when they upgraded to a more powerful V-6.)
