Yep ramping is great for e-switch lights, I like Narsil Lexel built T/A drivers in Big lights. But the D4V2 and the Q8 double click to Turbo has a lag/ hesitation going into Turbo, the Lexel built T/A Narsil drivers are instantaneous.
Turbo lag in a flashlight! 
Hahaa I know Iām more of a NOS guy myself! :+1:
I like both turbo and big displacement NA engines
Iāve had a little boy racer, ford escort cosworth with the engine and turbo tuned up to about 500 hp. I really loved the noise of the turbo spooling up during slight lag and then the kick and the ass when it got up to speedā¦ but turbo lag in a light? Nah, I think Iāll pass on that 
Sorry for offtopic again! I like old fords 
I had 4 sierras, two Scorpios. One scorpio still mine. 2.9 V6 estate.
The escort cosworth basically a shortened sierra cosworth with escort body. And now I have a Volvo S70 T5 turbo with the scorpio. Oh that 5 cilynder sound with BOW. ā¦
Sorry for the continued off-topic chatter, but yesā¦ I love me some old Fords! The 255 flathead in my ā49 wonāt be racing anytime soon thoughā¦
Flathead V8, man those were the days! My Dad had a ā37 Cadillac most of my life with a flathead V8 in it. The hood had front to rear panels that lifted and folded in half, propped openā¦. one on each side of the engine. Big Teardrop headlights. Dad would prop open the hood on both sides so you could see the engine running, couldnāt hear a damn thing, then heād balance a Nickel on itās edge on TDC of the teardrop headlight and let it sit there, engine idling. Iāve seen people say it wasnāt running, he must have a small electric motor turning the pulleysā¦ heād reach in and grab the carb feed and rev it up, Nickel still sitting on the round teardrop headlight. It was the smoothest gasoline engine Iāve ever seen.
Edit: Yes, I grew up with my Dad in the Antique Car Club, weāve been to car shows in many states, Iāve seen more old cars in full restoration that I can remember. The old boat tail Duesenbergs were a favorite of mine, with big long engines and flex tube ss exhausts exiting the side of the hood then disappearing under the running boards.
Grrrrrrrowwll!
Oh the days, when a car was the epitome of styleā¦
I miss the sound of those big unbridled enginesā¦.
This is what my Dad had for so many years, we rode in it in the 4th of July parades that Belton TX is famous for, when I was a kidā¦
Dad sold it to the son of an old friend who is fully restoring it from the ground up (as if it needed it) He found that even in 1937 the original exhaust was ceramic lined, had a bear of a time finding someone to do that on the new exhaust to make it fully true to the original.
For those thatāve never seen a flathead V8, Cadillac styleā¦
And whyād they do away with hood ornaments, anyway?
Sweet :) Thank you for the information. Iāll pick up a few of these for my next build :)
Yeah, theyāll be no nickel-balancing on my flathead. Itās less āpurring kittenā and more ācantankerous muleā. Iām not old enough to remember those days (I was born in the 80ās), but early cars were really works of art. And now we have cars like thisā¦ whatās wrong with us?
Some sweet pics (and rides) there, Dale. I donāt think Iāve ever gotten to see a Caddy Flathead. Very nice!
It wasnāt all glory days, when we were little Mom and Dad made us dress in the style of the 20ās and 30ās and participate in Antique Car Club fashion shows. Big crowds, like the Omaha Hilton, and the clothes sucked! Hated it. My little sis ate it up though, of course. lol
A better view of a restored flathead in an old Caddyā¦.
Dad bought the ā37 not long after he and Mom got married in ā51, he hand sanded it down to bare metal and primered it, took it then to a friend that painted it. Dad likes to tell the story of his ā48 Chevy that they honeymooned in, he rebuilt the engine and put it back in the day before they left here in Texas to go to New York, Niagara Falls. Heād never worked on an engine before, just winged it, and they drove all those miles as newlyweds in that car. Yep, theyāve been married 66 yearsā¦
āCause little SOBs would go stealing āem or just knocking āem off, unfortunately.
Rolls Royce still does a hood ornament, but they make it retractable so as to deter thieves. Itās a very expensive mechanism.
I had a ā77 Cadillac Seville that had the Cadillac wreath hood ornament, it was affixed via a short cable on a spring, itād flex over without breaking off. I liked seeing that ornament when driving, and the flying woman on the old ones was really graceful.
Times change, too fast it seemsā¦
That reminds me, some of those old style hood ornaments may not even be legal to use on modern cars as they would not conform to the pedestrian-protection requirements all new cars must conform to.
Nowadays, with manufacturers putting padding(!) in the hood, bumpers, etc., to make it āsaferā to hit pedestrians (at your own carās expense), thatād be a dangerous proposition.
Having a āflying womanā in front would probably impale some idiot whoād walk in front of your car, face planted in a cellphone, and youād be on the hook for driving such a dangerous āassault-carā.
I just opened my newly arrived C8F. It is very nice. :heart_eyes: I have the cell on charge and in an hour will be out for a walk to try it out. Iāve switched it to the mode 3 group for now. Probably leave it there unless it gets modded. The e-switch sold me.
I canāt wait to get one of these
