Modern diesels are clean, quiet and do not smoke.
The 2009 diesel Vette was an april fools joke, but the idea of a modern diesel is facinating.
Think about this: Pimp my Ride did a 1965 Chevy Impala. It was a wreck. When they did it, they had CA state bio-fuel support. The car was powered by a 6.5 litre Duramax turbo Diesel, an Allison 4spd OD automatic and some minor boost and fuel delivery mods. The end result? over 800 hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque. The car is faster than a Lambo in the 1/4 mile and it still gets 24mpg, highway.
It's call the Audi R10 and it's diesel powered. And is so quiet, that during the race, you cannot hear it over the other race cars, including the Corvette C6.R.
Im lost for words...how do diesels not smoke? Are we even talking about the same thing? Apparently not. I would also like to add, I was not being argumenative, just stating my opinion on diesels. I also looked up your word and...im lost. But anyway I was not even talking about a car.
Myopia (from Greek: μυωπία myopia "near-sightedness"[1]), also called near- or short-sightedness, is a refractive defect of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed.
Those with myopia see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. With myopia, the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too steep, so images are focused in the vitreous inside the eye rather than on the retina at the back of the eye. The opposite defect of myopia is hyperopia or "farsightedness" or "long-sightedness" this is where the cornea is too flat or the eye is too short.
