63. If NASCAR is so big on efficient fuel injection, why are they still using carburetors?
Are ANY current military vehicles carbureted? Also, why aren't they experimenting with diesels like F1 and the Audi R10? Why is it that we have production cars now with similar specific outputs as NASCAR engines while no stock vehicle engine can touch an F1 racer in terms of specific output? It seems to me that NASCAR has its feet planted firmly in the past when it comes to technology.
