Let’s feed ‘em the story about the amazing 1,000mpg carburetor!
F1 did not get their money’s worth from this story.
Check out the hilarious Chrysler Turbo Encabulator video at the linked site.

They hire the same sorts of cretins who can’t properly locate Buffalo, NY on a map over at MSNBC.
“I actually consider them first choice during breaking international news developments. Fox News is a joke”
If I wanted to listen to people who hate the USA I’d listen to Obama and his fellow communist travelers.
No surprise. Based on this, how factual do you think the rest of their reporting is?
Oh - “that” F-1.
I thought this was a story about the Saturn V engines.
When he was on Jeopardy, Wolf Blitzer thought Jesus was born in Jerusalem.
I am talking about live, onsite video coverage and analysis.
Not debate on political talk shows.
No one had that on Benghazi.
CNN International — anytime. Even the standard CNN will cut to an international affiliate during non-prime North American hours. Sometime Fox will go to Sky News also which is good, but seems to happen less often.
Here’s a link to a short, accurate description of the new F1 engines.

760 horsepower out of less than 100 cubic inches seems pretty amazing to me!
Thanks for the picture and info at what WAS at the site. CNN has since changed the article with this note at the end
‘Editor’s note: An earlier version of this article contained a number of inaccuracies, for which we apologise. Christina Macfarlane and Rachel Wood, who prepared the television story, were in no way responsible for those inaccuracies. You can watch their report at the top of this article’
I think CNN runs on its own exhaust steam..../s
“I am talking about live, onsite video coverage and analysis.”
I’d agree they have more cameras onsite than FOX but their dishonesty renders them useless as journalists.
According to the article, the engine itself produces 600hp; the rest comes from the KERS.
And as impressive as either figure sounds, back in the original F1 turbo era BMW engines were making as much as 1,500hp in qualifying trim from 1.5L. Of course, with that much boost running through it, the engine was only good for about three laps.
Is that a real screen shot? I was watching the NASA feed at work when Columbia was destroyed had no idea that CNN had that as a liner feed
That's easy to answer. All of it.

I think CNN runs on its own exhaust steam....LOLOL... there's no need for the /s it's true!!!
Someone needs to pass the original article onto BBC’s “Top Gear” and let them roll with it. Given their natural tendency to snub the Yanks and their usual reaction to F1 anyhow, this could very well lead to a true piece of Hunter Thompson Gonzo scream till you die piece.
Just a suggestion, but no matter what I do want to find the original uncorrected article!
