For some time seems to have fallen into the list of those who go without return ticket, but while there, many still love the Dodge Viper, and many will also wonder when it’s gone. Because there are not many cars like this, that seems to exist solely to give satisfaction to those who really know how to exploit them. There is clearly a car for any driver. Among other things it unforgiving and that I say I’m still paying ridiculous that I did with him when making a U on the avenue, I accelerated the engine in the middle of the curve and the top was simply inevitable and monumental. Obviously, some tires that are occupied by a curve, you cannot pull over the herd of horses that displays the Viper engine.

It is the only American sports car under the hood brings a 10-cylinder power plant in V, with 8.4 liters of displacement that spring 600 horsepower. Transmission, how could it be otherwise, is manual and has six speeds. If someone is looking for fuel economy, the Viper is certainly the wrong car, because a gallon was barely enough to 13 miles in the city and 22 highways with a very conservative management and some luck.
Viper’s appearance is unmistakable, with a few strokes unmistakably reminiscent of the immortal lines leading to the tireless Bat mobile Batman in his crusade against crime. Viper comes in two versions, sedan and convertible, and unlike other models, the convertible is a few hundred dollars cheaper, with a suggested retail price of $ 90.255 consumer dollars.

Manage this Viper is an extraordinary experience. Not very comfortable, admittedly, in and out of the vehicle are not easy tasks, but once seated at the helm, with his right foot on the accelerator and right hand on the shifter, one feels as if playing the sky with the fingers.

The flat reading on consumer spending is called after 10 consecutive months of gains, the Commerce Department said on Monday, and then recorded a downward revision to spending in April to 0.3%.

Washington. U.S. spending on consumption was unchanged in May for the first time in almost a year, probably reflecting a plunge in auto sales, government figures showed that also pointed to a rise in underlying inflation pressures.

The flat reading on consumer spending is called after 10 consecutive months of gains, the Commerce Department said on Monday, and then recorded a downward revision to spending in April to 0.3%.

Market expectations were that consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic activity, rise just 0.1% in May after an originally reported figure of 0.4% in April.

“We will cut fuel consumption and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for the second quarter. That’s a couple of tenths of a point. It was a small impact on consumers by higher energy prices and problems in the supply chain, “said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Pierpont Securities.

“We’ll see a good rebound in GDP in the third quarter for full production in the automotive sector, which was a bit behind in the second quarter,” he said.

When adjusted for inflation, spending fell 0.1% in May, its second consecutive month low.

Spending on durable goods fell 1.5% after remaining steady in April.

Last month, spending probably was contained by a sharp decline in purchases of motor vehicles because of interruptions in automobile production given the lack of spare parts after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March, which left some models without inventories.

Sales of motor vehicles in May touched it’s lowest since September.

The weak reading in May suggests that consumer spending, which has been beaten by high gasoline prices will be much weaker in the second quarter the annual rate of 2.2% recorded in the first three months of the year.

While the report fits with other data that illustrate the loss of momentum in the economy, the decline in gasoline prices should push spending and therefore growth in the third quarter.

Gasoline prices have fallen sharply from its peak of $ 4.02 per gallon in early May.

Despite the decline in fuel prices, the pressures of inflation continue to push.

The price index for personal consumption expenditures (PCE for its acronym in English) rose 0.2% after rising 0.3% in April. Compared with May of last year, the index rose 2.5% in 12 months, the most since January 2010, after rising 2.2% in April.

The core PCE index, which excludes food and energy rose 0.3%, the biggest advance since October 2009, after rising 0.2% in the previous month.

The core PCE index, which is closely watched by the Fed, rose 1.2% in 12 months to May, the biggest advance since August.

The index climbed 1.1% yoyos in April and the Fed would like it to be about 2%.

Revenue rose 0.3% last month, slightly below expectations for a rise of 0.4%. In April, also rose 0.3%.

“There is so significant because in terms of spending already knew the subject vehicle and the rest of the goods sector of retail sales,” said Alan Evensong, chief economist at T. Rowe Price in Baltimore.

“It implies that we have had modest growth in underlying revenue, based on the expectation that the labor market recovery will continue and the expenditure side, we had a break, again for the vehicles,” he said.

In the most advanced facilities for the manufacture of automotive chassis, the traditional techniques of welding have been replaced by laser joining techniques, where prefabricated sheets (known as plaques) are joined by laser welding and welding processes strong.

The manufacture of welded plates as one of the most important applications in the automotive manufacturing and the high demands of this industry in terms of quality, require extremely rigorous and consistent control of welds during all stages the production process.

This challenge has been overcome with the use of an automated control system that can inspect 100% of the weld. The system consists of a sensor integrated into a CMOS camera Photon focus, a laser line generator and a ring of LEDs, which analyze the profile, and pore structure of each weld. The defects are detected by a combination of laser triangulation (3D) analysis of the grayscale (2D) in 3 parallel proceedings: 3D profile analysis, analysis of the welding structure in 2D (texture analysis of the welding) and analysis of the pores in 2D.

The inspection system has reduced the time of detection and also helped to increase process safety, ensuring the high standard of quality required by today’s automotive industry. It also provides an efficient method for documenting the testing process of welding, thus improving the profitability of the manufacture of chassis.

This system has been used a camera MV-D1024 Photonfocus-80-CL-8 CMOS. Through the use of technology Lingo, this camera enables the capture of the laser line triangulation process and simultaneously records images to grayscale for the analysis of pores. The CMOS sensor of this camera has a linear response at low illumination levels and logarithmic response at high light levels, allowing you to simultaneously capture grayscale images and laser triangulation.

Under the 1st Automotive Alternative Energy Forum held at the Legislative Palace of San Lazar, the deputy said “we will enter it later today or as we have come late to many situations of this nation.”

He explained that the objective of 1st Automotive Alternative Energy Forum to be held tomorrow, Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 of this month, describing the various technology alternatives to fossil fuels on the market for light vehicles and heavy vehicles raise awareness among legislators about the benefits of these technologies and who can use this knowledge in the discussion and legislative decision making in the field.

Likewise, this will help encourage the governors in their respective states to implement incentives that trigger the development and commercialization of clean technologies that benefit not only consumers but also our environment.

In this sense Eduardo Solis Sanchez, CEO of the Mexican Association of Automotive Industry (AMIA) stated that the industry is not “can only research and implementation of alternative technologies, public policy requires that we are moving in this direction.”

The official explained that there are more than 200.000 billion in research and development in alternative technologies worldwide, but these efforts always accompanied by public policies.

No kidding! DC Comics today unveiled the new Bat mobile, the car of his famous superhero Batman for the traveling show “Batman Live” which will tour arenas and stadiums in Europe since July, with a cast of 43 actors and acrobats.

In the dream correspond to any child fan of comics and motorsport, the idea and concept design of the Bat mobile 2011 was conducted by the renowned designer Gordon Murray, who worked with McLaren at the time of Ayton Sienna and was in charge of Projected record McLaren MP4 / 4 1988 he won 15 of 16 Grinds Prix with Prost and Sienna before moving to lead McLaren Cars and participate in the design of the McLaren F1 and Mercedes SLR McLaren. According to Murray, the model is not so far from reality as the rest of the cars driven by Robin amigo partner, and may represent what will be a model in the next 20 years.

His idea was to mix both the aerodynamics of Formula 1 cars, the technology exists and could be developed, and the dummy have any comic, especially the history of Batman’s cars. And so far is not because there were people who called the concept that race at Le Mans next year, like a Bat mobile racing.

President of the United States, Barrack Osama spoke today to present and future of the automotive industry in his country after deciding that the initial plans presented by General Motors and Chrysler Feb. 17, not enough to warrant a new aid package. “We cannot, we must not let our auto industry disappear,” vowed Osama. However, the flamboyant president said that “there are jobs that cannot be saved and plants not reopen” and that General Motors and Chrysler groups, supported by public funds must make “difficult decisions.”

“This sector is more than any other, an emblem of the American spirit and a symbol of U.S. success. It is one of the pillars of our economy, “Osama said. At the same time, said the plans presented by GM and Chrysler “are not sufficient to warrant the substantial new investments these companies are asking,” although the government will provide the first such money to run the next 60 days.

“The current plan (GM) is not enough. After consultation, I have confidence that wants to recover. As an initial step, gave the company president (Rick Wagoner). This does not mean a conviction for him, but we need a new vision, “said the president. He further clarified that his country has “no intention of managing GM. We want an opportunity to make a change. ”

Anyway, did not dismiss the bankruptcy of giant Detroit as a possible solution. Without hesitation, Bush said it is possible that the company required resorting to bankruptcy “as a mechanism to help restructure quickly and emerge stronger.”
