Enourmo posted:Enlightening info Hey Enourmo you're really good at explaining mildly complex things in basic enough terms to be useful while still not sounding condescending and at the same time not using too few details to let the truly uninformed get up to speed, I've noticed a couple times where my previous understanding of things went from "It's down to some sort of magic" to knowing considerably more about the actual practical reason because of your breakdowns. Thanks!

Clear recording reasons aside, none of my Grandmas players will spin for more that 45 seconds before resetting the arm(?) and turning off, so I can't even get the needle past the first few grooves I don't even know what is on these yet, but analogue recordings of "random engine noises, possibly without commentary" is the most niche thing I've ever heard of

mekilljoydammit posted:Not emptyquoting. Though not sure what I'd put it in. Well if it were up to me: 1970 Mustang with Boss 429 appearance package minus the boss decals. Chin spoilers, etc. Art Morrison Frame with IRS Corvette Transaxle to try and counterbalance that big hunk of motor. Prolly need a C6 ZR1 unit Yeah... something like that would be good.

Coredump posted:Well if it were up to me: Yeah, that's the modern take on it. It makes me think about pulling molds from a '70 fastback and building a carbon bodied Trans Am car tbh - I'm not sure how many off the shelf frames really do a better job at IRS than a good live axle implementation.

Saw a Lotus Elite shooting brake on the weekend and good gravy do I like that body style. Didn't get a picture because I was driving, but have a shot of my all-time shooting brake favourite, the Aston Martin Virage.

I actually think that the decision behind those tyres was so that you could take your £165,000 car (1992 money)* out on to the moors and pack your gun dogs into the back of it with your shotgun after a solid morning's pheasant hunting. I mean, that's where the term "shooting brake" comes from, isn't it? *£325,050 in today's money, or $425,360.92 USD.

Or anywhere where the roads aren't glassy smooth. Tires have taken a bit of function follows form the last couple decades.

Godholio posted:Uh...that sidewall/wheel ratio was pretty normal until the late 90s. Yup. I remember the tires on my dad's new 1994 Camaro seemed impossibly this at the time, and they were 245/50R16. With those awesomely chunky BFG Comp T/A ZR tires on them. xzzy posted:Or anywhere where the roads aren't glassy smooth. Counterpoint: pretty much every modern performance tire relies on short, stiff sidewalls. Thus, I had to go to 20s to find anything useful in a 28-29" tall tire.

Awesome results for the FIAT 124 Spider Abarth in C&D's Lighting Lap at Virginia International Raceway. Here's the lap:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWJ7Ogi8z4 The results:  FIAT 124 ABARTH: 3:16.9 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club: 3:20.8 Nearly four seconds faster for such similar cars. Midrange torque was the difference, allowing fewer downshifts and holding more power in critical areas, and slides rather than braking in other areas. Four seconds is a freaking eternity. The FIAT's engine and suspension makes it far superior to track work.

And the WRX is another five faster so I'm not sure what you're crowing about, unless it's that they made something smaller and nimbler slower. I mean slow convertibles is nothing new so...

That's pretty cool. I wasn't a fan of the styling of the 124 Spider when they first came out but it's growing on me. ^^ hardly comparing apples to apples, the WRX is 178hp/ton and the Fiat is 144 hp/ton. Car and Driver has the WRX as nearly 2 seconds (4.8 vs 6.7) faster 0-60.
