Math/Science fail....
It disturbs me when a leading newspaper, such as the Sydney Morning Herald, publishes a piece that demonstrate a sheer lack of understanding of basic mathematical concepts by the author:
Take this little snippet by David McCowen from a motoring article published on the 21st in the SMH.
"Producing 476kW at 6500rpm and 819Nm at 3800rpm, the LS9 would represent the most powerful engine ever sold in an Australian-made car, outgunning Ford's final 351kW FPV GT-F by an order of magnitude"
Sorry Dave...that's a fail
An order of magnitude more power would place the LS9's output at around 3510 kW....not a mere 120 kW or so.
Perhaps a sad reflection on the teaching of Science/Math in our schools?
