Question Easy Question: What does WOT mean?

I have seen WOT a lot when talking about the engine. Does it mean full throttle or max rpm or something?

Thanks. There's just too manyvocab words here to keep up with.

WOT = Wide Open Throttle

On Edit: You can find a bunch of definitions in the Tech Facts section at the top of the page.

WOT - pushing the big go-pedal until you're moving 3 tons of steel past some yutz in a ricer going down the road. See also: "Grin, silly"; "Fun, clothed"; and "Dang, did you see that big truck MOVE?"

No kidding! Just down the interstate from Reno is Donner Summit (where a lot of ski areas are). On the hills going up to the summit on each side those ricers are even weaker than they are everywhere else. The Cummins makes it so easy to smoke 'em, it almost takes the fun out of it. Almost...

Donner

talking about Donner , the most fun I have on Donner is just cruising up the hill and seeing a ricer really getting it on up the hil behind me and I would get next to someone and wait for that ricer to catch up and he or she power band just suffers big time then I just put the pedal to the metal and say C-ya to the ricer , LOL they never get going again
