re: Automobile Tariffs - 25%

A 7.0L LS V8 generally weighs less than the engine is replacing in a 911. Quite a lot less than the Turbo engine.

Thats nice. Add the dressings, find an transaxle that’ll fit, and do the vertical CG. about the rear roll axis and get back to us.

Plenty of guys have done LS swaps in 911s. Google is your friend.

I'll give you a hint; You don't replace the transaxle.

I'm just hoping that Toyota can un-frick their Tundra motors so that I can go buy one.

Today, Trump introduced a 25% tariff on ALL vehicles not made in the United States. This tariff will go into effect on April 2nd. About 40% of all new cars sold in the US are imported, so this tariff is a big deal.

This is a breakdown of where cars sold in the US are made:
• Tesla: 100% U.S.
• Ford: 77% U.S., 21% Canada & Mexico, 2% Other
• Stellantis: 57% U.S., 39% Canada & Mexico, 4% Other
• Nissan: 52% U.S., 31% Canada & Mexico, 17% Other
• GM: 52% U.S., 30% Canada & Mexico, 18% Other
• Toyota: 48% U.S., 27% Canada & Mexico, 25% Other
• Kia: 33% U.S., 8% Canada & Mexico, 59% Other
• Volkswagen: 21% U.S., 43% Canada & Mexico, 36% Other

If the 25% tariff remains in place for a long period, legacy automakers will struggle to adapt quickly, leading to a significant decline in profits. The United States is the most profitable country for the auto industry. Trump said this new tariff will be permanent, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out and whether the tariff sticks around or not.

With engines and transmissions from Germany. BMW for the most part anyway. Not sure on Merc. He just made a comment that would imply those parts would be tariffed.

I guess it depends on what made in the us means?

Every part? Or the vehicle is put together here?

President Trump made good on his promise to impose tariffs on foreign automakers, imposing 25% duties on all cars and light trucks not made in the United States.

---

It includes the supply chain.

BMW engines and transmissions, and any other imported parts, from Germany will have a 25% tariff put on them as far as what has been reported thus far.

Never saw the point in buying one. They're good for a few years then turn into a rolling POS where parts cost a fortune.

Any time you want to discuss roll center and how it moves as the suspension goes through bump and rebound let me know.

Send me a check and I’ll give you access to our models, track setup, and race data

IYKYK what happens when you the front and rear roll centers outta whack on any 911 platform. I could see it working if you make it carolina squat. Hell, there are some tracks I’d put a snow plow in the front if I could with a spec setup.

Feel free to tell the class how the yaw axis is impacted while you are at it.

No offense, but that only slightly better than “you didn’t show any math!!!!l” Moving that ahit aft isn’t going help a damn thing. But that doesn’t really take much instruction to figure out.

Its a half truth. The downside of the quotas accelerated the Japanese auto industry.

No it was the whole truth. There in fact was 100k jobs created. That is not counting the support jobs that supported the transportation of materials, the businesses that provided for the additional workers whether it be goods or services. When you talk about additional employees it is 1.5 to 1. The support whether it be a 7/11 or a Pizza Hut or an accountant to do taxes. 100k actually means 150k or more.
