I have worked in chassis development as a design engineer. While there are eye watering sums of money spent on seemingly insignificant parts (£500k on a suspension bush set). The priorities are nearly always cost, ride quality, durability and handling in that order. I own a car that I developed the suspension bush set for and it now has poly bushes where it matters to offset some ride quality for handling.

@alexb6018 uni teaches you the physics and maths and design process, it teaches nothing specific, that comes with experience. A uni education is extremely useful when combined with experience and the right person.

@alexb6018 I did an apprenticeship and then a degree several years later. The university education certainly was useful, mostly for the mechanical principles and the skills it gave me to conduct good, reliable tests. I do think that the apprenticeship possibly taught me more general engineering skills but that was in the days of a five year apprenticeship backed up with an HNC, these days it's two years with an NVQ.

Same happens with Jaguars and R badges. I have a real R series Jaguar and pulling up alongside a 4 cylinder diesel with R badges and bonnet vents is always fun. 550bhp vs 180bhp is never very close
