I noticed the host of "Victory by design" does it all the time. What's the point? Lots of these cars are turbocharged, and It's better to leave engine running for a while to let turbine cool down, not revving it before turning off. Am I wrong?
It's like double-clutching.muumipeikko said:Well as MXM says there seems to be no logig with new engines and that is true. The revving the engine before stopping comes from the time of carburettors, when you wanted to leave some gas in there when shutting down so that the next time the engine is started it will not be dry.
I suppose people nowadays think it sounds cool or something?? dunno, but the reason above is why it used to be a good idea...
