The '''Dodge Tomahawk''' is a [[concept vehicle]] which was produced by [[Dodge]].
:I have actually undertaken to convert all Canadian postal code pages into tabular form. [[User:Denelson83|Denelson83]] 09:25, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

At the 2003 [[North American International Auto Show]] in [[Detroit, Michigan]], Dodge unveiled a vehicle with an unusual design, featuring the 500 hp (373 kW) 8.3 L V10 [[engine]] from the [[Dodge Viper]]. The vehicle has two front wheels and two rear wheels, making it a kind of motorized [[quadricycle]] rather than a typical [[motorcycle]].

==Sales==
In [[2005]], Dodge decided to sell 10 versions at [[United States dollar|US$]]550,000 each through [[Neiman Marcus]]. While the Tomahawk is not [[Street-legal vehicle|street-legal]], it could, theoretically, be ridden. The Tomahawk, as sold, is missing a few trivial parts necessary to make it a running bike. Dodge has done some minimal testing on the first bike built, and then-COO [[Wolfgang Bernhardt]] drove it onto the stage at the [[Detroit Auto Show]]. The Tomahawk is officially sold as a "rolling sculpture" to show the Viper engine.

==Specifications==

Preface :

Though it has four wheels, to associate the Tomahawk with a quad-type vehicle is not entirely accurate; quad-type vehicles have more in common with the automobile... They turn like an automobile, while the Tomahawk turns by leaning.

At the time of its introduction, many did not believe the Tomahawk could be ridden and leaned into a turn. The Italian company Piaggio has since demonstrated with their very well received MP3 scooter, that, given adequate development time, the same basic principal could in fact be successfully implemented. The Tomahawk however was conceived and built to serve only as a communication tool, having as its mission to promote the Dodge brand, while showcasing the Viper motor as well as the creativity of the people behind that brand. The entire project, from conception to finished show vehicle was limited to only five months. The show vehicle therefore did not benefit from the sort of extensive dynamic development phase typical of production vehicles.

* 500 bhp (373 kW) @ 5600 rpm (45 kW/L); 525 ft·lbf (712 Nm) @ 4200 rpm
* 10-cylinder 90-degree V-type, [[Computer cooling|liquid-cooled]], 505 in³ (8275 cc)
* 356-T6 [[Aluminium alloy|aluminum alloy]] block with cast-iron liners, aluminum alloy [[cylinder head]]s
* Bore x Stroke: 4.03 by 3.96 in (102 x 101 mm)
* Two pushrod-actuated overhead valves per cylinder with roller-type hydraulic lifters
* Sequential, multi-port electronic fuel injection with individual runners
* Compression Ratio: 9.6:1
* Max Engine Speed: 6000 rpm
* Fuel Requirement: Unleaded premium, 93 octane (R+M/2)
* Oil System: [[Dry sump|Dry Sump]]; takes 8 quarts (8 L) [[Mobil#Mobil 1|Mobil 1]] 10W30 Synthetic
* Cooling System: Twin aluminum radiators mounted atop engine intake manifolds, force-fed from front-mounted, belt-driven turbine fan. Takes 11 quarts (10 L) of antifreeze.
* Exhaust System: Equal-length tubular stainless steel headers with dual collectors and central rear
* According to the official specs 0-60 [[mph]] times have been estimated at 2.5 [[second]]s, with an estimated top speed of 350 mph. But there are also reports that the top speed is 676 km/h (about 420 mph). It is very unlikely that anyone will ever test the vehicle, due to safety concerns and the price of the Tomahawk itself. Dodge has expressed interest in one day taking it to the Bonneville salt flats, but as of yet has not.

This is for people who are passionate about engines," said Chrysler [[chief operating officer]] Wolfgang Bernhard, who rode the Tomahawk on stage during a media preview. "A motorcycle is the most beautiful way to showcase an engine."

The 1,500-pound Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 420 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.

Chrysler executives said if the Tomahawk were put into production, it would draw attention to the Dodge brand in ways no ordinary [[sports car]] could. Bernhard said a decision on whether to build the Tomahawk could be made in several months.

The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. Ten hand-built reproductions, each to be sold at a price of $555,000.


SUSPENSION:Front:
====[[List of postal codes in Canada]] → [[Canadian postal code]]====
I have edited this article quite a bit to make it more than just a list. It describes how Canadian postal codes work in much detail now, so I do not believe it should be a "List of..." article anymore. <font color=#ba0000>Denelson83</font> 19:10, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)


Outboard, single-sided parallel upper and lower control arms made from polished billet aluminum. Mounted via [[ball joint]] to aluminum steering uprights and hubs. Five degrees caster. Single, fully adjustable centrally located coil-over damper (2.25-inch coil with adjustable spring perch); pullrod and rocker-actuated mono linkage. Center-lock racing-style hubs
'''SUPPORT:''' I support moving the content of the current article to [[Canadian postal code]] (Is there a formal name for the system like how we have [[ZIP Code]] in the USA??? If so, move content there. If not, [[Canadian postal code]] it is.) but given that there are several "list of __(insert country or state here)__ postal codes" articles it is a must that someone restore the the [[List of postal codes in Canada]] to actually being a ''list'' of Canadian postal codes. &mdash;[[User:ExplorerCDT|ExplorerCDT]] 05:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
:It really is not necessary to have such an article, as the list is already split into separate lists by the first letter of the postal code. Having them all in one article would make it way too big. And besides, there are already links to those individual lists in this article, below the postal district map. The point here is that there is enough information in this article that the "List of"-type title is no longer necessary.
:And yes, we Canadians just call it a "postal code," simply sticking the word "Canadian" in front of it to disambiguate. <font color=#ba0000>Denelson83</font> 05:16, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
::* '''Comment:''' Normally, I would say that effort is sufficient, but the [[List of postal codes in Canada]] article is linked from other sites, so, it might be necessary to copy a list linking to the lists by letter? (that sounds redundant, I know). I think this is necessary only because of the linking. As to the name "Postal code" I wasn't too familiar with that part of Canadiana, as most of the websites group the Canadian postal code in with the American ZIP code and mistakenly (or inadvertantly) make people think the Canadians use a system called ZIP too. &mdash;[[User:ExplorerCDT|ExplorerCDT]] 03:52, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
::: Right now there's a list of links under the map image. An actual directory of code numbers isn't as encyclopedic as the article itself. So I would suggest moving the article to preserve its edit history. Then, the new redirect page at [[List of postal codes in Canada]] can be changed into a brief directory page to capture those incoming links, and points to the main article as well as having the map and list of links.

:I'd hesitate to say that H0H letters are assigned to "the first Canada Post employee they reach", but they are processed in multiple locations across Canada as Saint Nick does get an enormous quantity of seasonal mail. Perhaps the [[anycast]] concept would be the closest analogy as H0H seasonal mail goes to multiple disparite handling facilities?
:There may be other addresses in the US which have seasonal uses (although not "seasonal/reserved" per se), such as [[North Pole, Alaska]] or [[North Pole, New York]]; at one point, apparently it was not uncommon to ship a box of outbound Christmas cards to the North Pole postmaster and ask that they be sent onward with that locality's postmark? Nonetheless, much like [[Wonder Woman]] is obviously American, Santa must be a Canadian eh?... why else would he dress in the colours of the Canadian flag? :) --[[User:Carlb|carlb]] 21:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

=== H0A ===
A [http://www.google.ca/search?q=Laval,+Qu%C3%A9bec+H0A search] for H0A finds four pages of results to indicate that there were a few of these codes (H0A 1E0, H0A 1G0) assigned to [[Laval, Quebec]] at one point. A reverse-lookup on these at canadapost.ca fails despite HOA, HOM both being listed in Canada Post's current [http://www.canadapost.ca/offerings/nps/pdf/fsa88.pdf list of FSA's]; does this mean the H0A codes existed but have since been retired?

Today's edit was quite extensive and a little messy if you look at the diffs, but hasn't substantially changed the content. I added a few words here and there, but mostly I added a couple of references and standardized the existing ones in the various cite template formats. I have added changed all the references to multi-line format. I hope that hasn't offended anyone, but I find that they are much more maintainable that way. It makes it easier to find them or to read around them in the source code. Also, it makes the lines shorter, so any diffs are more readable from here on.

==What is the <s>range</s>space of postal codes?==
Under "How many postal codes are possible?" the article states what letters aren't used. However an article about a coding system should say somewhere what the theoretical and actual (in use) ranges are. What are the lowest (eg. A0A 0A0??) and highest values possible and in use? I find it interesting that A1A 1A1 appears on so many forms and templates as a fictional address, yet it is not a fictional postal code and refers to a real location according to reverse-lookup. I'd say that merits mention in this article, although it was deleted. [[User:Canuckle|Canuckle]] 21:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
:A1A 1A1 is no different than any other postal code.

:: Hi thanks for posting a reply. Sorry for the delay as I hadn't flagged this page for watching. You didn't respond to my question. I didn't ask for an article dedicated to one postal code. I did that, had second thoughts, and felt it might more appropriately merit a mention on ''this'' article. I didn't even appeal when I noticed that the standalone article got deleted without my noticing. You argue that it is "no different" than any other. I think it is different. It is ''the'' postal code regularly used to demonstrate postal codes. For example, this article's fourth sentence and a graphic use K1A 0B1 as an example. It is arguably more common to see A1A 1A1 in this instance. Why can this article not withstand a single mention of something people see everyday, and which was reliably sourced? Also, as I asked above, could the article withstand mention of what the range of codes currently in use are? I checked the list of postal codes (very nice by the way) and if I read it correctly it is: A0A to Y0B. Looking forward to your feedback. It's a good article, I'm just trying to make a tiny addition. Cheers. [[User:Canuckle|Canuckle]] 21:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
::: The thing is, there is no hard and fast "range" of postal codes. What you are referring to is the start and end of the portion of the postal code "space" that is currently in use. The postal code space starts at A0A and ends at Y9Z. I use K1A 0B1 because it is more heavily-used than A1A 1A1, and it doesn't suggest the idea of infringing on the privacy of a random person ([[WP:BEANS]]). Just because lots of other people use A1A 1A1 as a postal code example doesn't mean Wikipedia should. -- <span style="border: 2px solid #ba0000;"> [[User:Denelson83|Denelson]][[User talk:Denelson83|'''83''']] </span> 22:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Thanks for adding the sentence about the "space" currently used. It helps laymen like myself. Thanks for pointing out ([[WP:BEANS]]). It's a well-written essay that I'll keep in mind. I'm not clear on how it might apply in this example. Software writers could use the information that A1A 1A1 is an actual postal code to avoid user errors (for instance, failure to replace the template postal code with your actual code could result in your Amazon purchase going to the wrong place I guess). I'm unclear on how or why a reader could use that information to harm oneself or others. Privacy can be an important concern. However, postal codes are public information that is easily available and relate to a general area. Saying that A1A 1A1 represents an area in Newfoundland is not like publishing a random phone number as in the [[867-5309/Jenny]] debacle. How would a resident of that area's privacy be affected by this information?. The federal gov't has stricter privacy regulations that Wikipedia, and yet Parliament uses A1A 1A1 in its look-up tool to find your MP (see [http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/index.asp?Language=E here]). Please note that I never said "replace" the Ottawa example. I said that notable organizations like the government and www.icann.org use A1A 1A1 in a way relevant to this article. That real-world use should appropriately be noted in this article, in my opinion. Do you mind if I write up a sentence and try it in the article? [[User:Canuckle|Canuckle]] 06:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
:::::You can go ahead and say in a sentence or two about how A1A 1A1 is used as an example template for a postal code, but that fact doesn't need its own article. Also, if you want to want to give your own example of a postal code, I suggest using one that starts with A9W, as codes that start with those three characters are for testing purposes only, along with A9X and A9Z. As for A1A 1A1 being used as a more widespread example, I imagine people in that postal code get slightly more than the average amount of junk mail in their boxes. -- <span style="border: 2px solid #ba0000;"> [[User:Denelson83|Denelson]][[User talk:Denelson83|'''83''']] </span> 06:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The Dodge Tomahawk is a concept vehicle which was produced by Dodge.

At the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, Dodge unveiled a vehicle with an unusual design, featuring the 500 hp (373 kW) 8.3 L V10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The vehicle has two front wheels and two rear wheels, making it a kind of motorized quadricycle rather than a typical motorcycle.

Sales

In 2005, Dodge decided to sell 10 versions at US$550,000 each through Neiman Marcus. While the Tomahawk is not street-legal, it could, theoretically, be ridden. The Tomahawk, as sold, is missing a few trivial parts necessary to make it a running bike. Dodge has done some minimal testing on the first bike built, and then-COO Wolfgang Bernhardt drove it onto the stage at the Detroit Auto Show. The Tomahawk is officially sold as a "rolling sculpture" to show the Viper engine.

Though it has four wheels, to associate the Tomahawk with a quad-type vehicle is not entirely accurate; quad-type vehicles have more in common with the automobile... They turn like an automobile, while the Tomahawk turns by leaning.

At the time of its introduction, many did not believe the Tomahawk could be ridden and leaned into a turn. The Italian company Piaggio has since demonstrated with their very well received MP3 scooter, that, given adequate development time, the same basic principal could in fact be successfully implemented. The Tomahawk however was conceived and built to serve only as a communication tool, having as its mission to promote the Dodge brand, while showcasing the Viper motor as well as the creativity of the people behind that brand. The entire project, from conception to finished show vehicle was limited to only five months. The show vehicle therefore did not benefit from the sort of extensive dynamic development phase typical of production vehicles.

  • Oil System: Dry Sump; takes 8 quarts (8 L) Mobil 1 10W30 Synthetic
  • Cooling System: Twin aluminum radiators mounted atop engine intake manifolds, force-fed from front-mounted, belt-driven turbine fan. Takes 11 quarts (10 L) of antifreeze.
  • Exhaust System: Equal-length tubular stainless steel headers with dual collectors and central rear
  • According to the official specs 0-60 mph times have been estimated at 2.5 seconds, with an estimated top speed of 350 mph. But there are also reports that the top speed is 676 km/h (about 420 mph). It is very unlikely that anyone will ever test the vehicle, due to safety concerns and the price of the Tomahawk itself. Dodge has expressed interest in one day taking it to the Bonneville salt flats, but as of yet has not.

This is for people who are passionate about engines," said Chrysler chief operating officer Wolfgang Bernhard, who rode the Tomahawk on stage during a media preview. "A motorcycle is the most beautiful way to showcase an engine."

The 1,500-pound Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 420 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.

Chrysler executives said if the Tomahawk were put into production, it would draw attention to the Dodge brand in ways no ordinary sports car could. Bernhard said a decision on whether to build the Tomahawk could be made in several months.

The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. Ten hand-built reproductions, each to be sold at a price of $555,000.
