Re: Brilliant Engineering Solution: How Chevy Shipped Vegas Vertically by Train

Would love to see a documentary or detailed breakdown of the engineering specs. How much space did they save compared to traditional methods? Anyone have those numbers?

Re: Brilliant Engineering Solution: How Chevy Shipped Vegas Vertically by Train

This is really interesting! I had no idea they used vertical stacking for Vegas. That must have required some serious engineering consideration for the frame and suspension systems. Did they have to reinforce anything on the cars specifically for this shipping method?

Thanks for bringing up the maintenance point, Kevin. That's definitely a reality check. But I think for people who want the absolute best in American performance, it's worth the investment. You're paying for engineering excellence.

I should be fair though—if you're a calm driver and maintain steady speeds, I can see getting better figures. I do a lot of city driving which explains my lower numbers. For highway cruising, your numbers might be more realistic.

I completely disagree with your fuel economy figures. I've owned a Mini for two years and consistently get 38-40 mpg at best. Either your driving style is exceptionally efficient or you're measuring differently. Not trying to be harsh, but want accurate information out there for potential buyers.

I agree with Luna. This could lead to car companies being complicit in conflicts.
