Las Vegas would be another obvious choice, near extended grades in high ambient temperatures like Davis Dam and Townes pass, for HVAC and powertrain cooling testing.

I have the dubious distinction of having been to Las Vegas and having not spent one penny: we arrived in the trip vehicles and were shuttled directly to the airport, where we immediately departed. I did not buy a Coke or a candybar or anything.

Did you know . . .

Part of engine design . . . call it the foundation of an engine . . . is the bore and stroke combination. This results in the engine's cubic inch displacement. Engines are also designed to be renewed after extended use. you may have seen numbers like .030 over or .060 over. What this means is that there is enough "meat" in the cylinder bores to enlarge them when rebuilding an engine. Almost all production engines sold during the Muscle Car Era could be over-bored by .060 except one: Ford's 427. Because the engine was designed with large bores (4.23) it can only be over-bored by .030. Greater than that requires the use of sleeves.
