Chapter 22: Crazy Modification Plan: Part I (Plus Update)
“……”
Anderson's mouth was wide open in shock, more than a hippo: "Boss, you're not kidding, are you?
Both production and in-house cars are participating?
Lose your marbles!
Even a madman wouldn't do that, what kind of wind is the boss smoking?!
Anderson thinks Fernandez is simply crazy: "Let's not talk about our technical strength, whether we can make a car that meets the requirements of the race, we don't have the right driver right now." ”
"Who said there are no suitable drivers?" Chen Geng pointed at himself: "I am the driver." ”
Anderson was anxious: "But you're only alone!"
He actually wanted to say that your driving skills are good, but he was afraid that Fernandez would be annoyed and angry, so he didn't dare.
"What's wrong with me alone? Is it a rule that no driver can compete in both the production tuning and in-house racing classes?"
Anderson: "......"
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there really was no such prohibition order.
Bob frowned: "Even if there is no such a ban, there is a conflict in time, right?"
Chen Geng almost looked up to the sky and laughed: "Didn't you look at the schedule? The race time between the production car modification group and the self-made car group is two days, which is exactly staggered. ”
Bob: "......"
Anderson: "......"
I have a sentence about MMP that I don't know if to say or not?!
………………………………
No matter how depressed Anderson is, the boss of the company is still Fernandez after all, and since Fernandez has decided to do this, all the other people in the company can do is to fully cooperate with their boss, and Anderson is naturally no exception.
It's Bob, he has no opinion on Chen Geng's plan, but he has some doubts about Chen Geng's driving skills: "Boss, I'm sorry I have doubts about your driving skills, maybe you don't know, the vast majority of the guys who participated in this Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix are professional drivers, and these guys rely on this to make a living......"
"Are you doubting my level?" Before Bob could finish speaking, Chen Geng asked with a smile.
"That's right," the foreigner is so upright, he doesn't know how to take care of his boss's face: "With my ability, I promise to be able to modify a high-performance racing car, but your driving skills are ......"
He looked his boss up and down with a "I'm worried about your driving skills" expression.
Even Anderson had an approving expression.
Bob's worries are not unreasonable, but these two guys obviously don't know what kind of freak their boss is, they have practiced with professional drivers in the 90s, and now they are abusing a group of drivers in the 70s who can only mix with interstate competitions in the United States, Chen Geng thinks it shouldn't be too difficult - let the basketball players play against the players of the provincial teams, and they can't find the north one by one?
Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "You definitely don't believe how good my skills are, so let's go out for a run and use the Cole in the yard to maintain the C3, so that you can see how my driving skills are." ”
Anderson and Bob glanced at each other, of course they knew that the Corvette C3 was being consigned in the yard, although it was a sub-low-spec Corvette, "only" equipped with a 5.4-liter, 350-horsepower V8 naturally aspirated engine, not the top-of-the-line version of the 7.4-liter V8 engine codenamed LS6, but it was still the best performance on the market. The American performance sports car, known as the American national treasure, is at least one of them, and the sports performance is better than the Chevrolet Impala (Chevrolet impala) full-size sports car, which is also owned by General Motors.
If the boss can run a good result with this Corvette C3, at least it can prove that the boss's driving skills are not so bad, right?
The two nodded together: "Then try." ”
……………………
The three agreed, Anderson stayed in the company to be responsible for timing, and Bob was responsible for following Chen Geng to make sure that Chen Geng did not run away, and by the way, to determine what Chen Geng's driving level was, whether he really had driving skills comparable to professional racing drivers, or a stupid bold who only knew how to step on the accelerator.
Stepping on the accelerator and feeling the charming sound of the 5.4-liter V8 engine in front of him, Chen Geng first gave Anderson a thumbs up to signal that he was ready, and then tilted his head to look at Bob sitting in the co-pilot: "Are you ready?"
"Okay......"
Before the words fell, the Corvette C3 under him bounced out like an arrow from the string!
This "bounce" out is not an adjective, it is really "bounced" out, the whole Corvette C3 bounced out as if someone kicked it hard, Chen Geng used the craziest and technically difficult catapult start method to start.
Looking at this Corvette C3 with the craziest catapult start mode, Anderson believed Chen Geng's words for the first time: even if the boss's driving skills are not up to the level of professional racers, but at least they are considered to be beginners.
Anderson just thinks that the boss Fernandez has good driving skills, but Bob, who is sitting in the passenger seat, feels like he is dying, and he only has one feeling: fast! really fast!
The extremely high speed makes Bob's vision extremely narrow, and there is a feeling of being shuttling through a time and space tunnel in front of him, and he also has a sports car at home, which also belongs to the Chevrolet Impala under General Motors, a full-size large sports car, and he occasionally drives a fast car on weekdays, but compared with the speed of Fernandes's car, he is simply riding on the back of a snail!
"Boss, you...... Slow down," Bob couldn't hold on, there seemed to be a bend in front of him, and he said in a trembling voice: "At this speed, we can't turn ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the next moment, a violent tire crashing on the ground sounded, and the car drifted off the road in a crab way, accompanied by Chen Geng's relaxed and happy voice: "What did you say?"
Didn't wait for a response.
Chen Geng, who was a little strange, tilted his head slightly, and was stunned to find Bob holding his head like an ostrich, with his eyes closed, as if he couldn't see the scene of the car falling off the roadbed......
Chen Geng shook his head helplessly: With this quality, you still want to run with me?
…………………………
Looking at the black Corvette C3 speeding in the distance, Anderson's mouth was as big as a hippopotamus: Oh my God, how long have they been running?
While it is not known how long it will take a pro rider to cover the pre-agreed distance, Anderson is sure that the boss is fast, extremely fast, very fast!
Knowing that the boss is very powerful, but when he saw Bob staggering to push the car door and start vomiting, Anderson was still frightened: God, how fast is the boss driving the car?
As an automotive engineer, Anderson knew that Bob's current appearance was actually a physical condition that was not adapted to this normal physiological response at this extremely high speed.
When the shocked Anderson and the pale-faced Bob sat in front of Chen Geng again half an hour later, the two of them no longer had the slightest doubt about Chen Geng's driving skills, but Chen Geng's next words scared the two of them again!
"I'm going to build a 4WD racing ...... based on the Corvette C3"
"Four-wheel drive?!"
"Corvette C3?!"
Anderson and Bob exclaimed in unison, looking at Chen Geng's expression as if he was looking at a madman!
What is the essence of the American muscle sports car?Large space, V8 engine and front rear drive are the core three elements, boss to modify the power system, transmission system, suspension system, this is no problem, any car to participate in the Detroit modified car Grand Prix must be professionally upgraded by these subsystems, because the civilian level design can not meet the needs of the fierce competition, but ......
4WD?!
What the hell is this Nima?
Can a four-wheel drive American sports car still be called an American sports car?
Just about to object, the next moment, Chen Geng's words made the two of them honestly shut their mouths: "The design of the four-wheel drive system, the longitudinal rear-drive gearbox to the four-wheel drive, these are all left to me, what you have to do is not to refute my opinion, but to modify the car according to my plan, understand?"
This one...... This one......
The two glanced at each other, and Bob finally spoke: "Boss, with all due respect, although four-wheel drive theoretically has better field performance, the current four-wheel drive technology is not mature, this ......"
"I'm the boss, I have the final say, and I can change it as I say," Chen Geng rudely interrupted Bob's words: "I will come up with the modification plan, and you are responsible for implementing my plan." ”
Just kidding, a few college students majoring in automobiles can talk about a front-wheel drive old Jetta modified into front-rear drive, and the 1.6 transverse engine has been replaced with a longitudinal Toyota "Bull Demon King" 3.0-liter 2JZ-GTE inline six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, which is equivalent to rebuilding a car, buddy is just talking about a front-longitudinal rear-wheel drive car changed to four-wheel drive, which is much easier than changing the Jetta.
Chen Geng said so, what else can Bob and Anderson say?
The two nodded helplessly, waiting for Chen Geng to continue.
Chen Geng nodded with satisfaction: "The core and top priority of this modification is the modification of the power system, the 7.4-liter engine on the C3 is far from enough, I decided to use the 'big-block' 496 engine as the basis to carry out a significant modification and upgrade of the engine." ”
"'big-block'496?!" Anderson and Bob exclaimed in unison.
What kind of engine is the "big-block" 496? Like the series of engines used on the Corvette C3, it belongs to the same general "block" series, in order to better divide the engines of this series, the displacement of less than 5.7 liters (350 cubic inches) is called "small-block", and above 5.7 liters, it is called "big-block".
