All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

The tweeter placement on about 99% of installs like this is just a case of "where can we fit them?" rather than any logical placement and it's really annoying. There's enough in that van to at least attempt a mini line array setup even if it's just for looks.

What I find impressive about this is that even though the Supra is clearly modified, including removing the wipers and mirrors to get the drag down, a supercar from nearly three decades ago is still not giving it an easy time. Still, anything that'll crack 200mph despite being based on a pretty normal production car that is itself 25 years old is also not bad in the slightest! And it's on banking, too, so there's probably more to be had given a long enough flat run...

It's even more scary when you multiply it by torque and start shearing chromoly

Dixon's car literally had so much grip and power that it slipped the surly bonds of Earth

It loses some but maybe only a mile an hour or two. You need to get to like 230 plus to start losing the effectiveness of the bank, that's why you can take your hands off the wheel driving up there. If you watch an incar from a stock car or Indycar they actually turn the wheel more on the straights, due to the setup. If anyone plays iRacing and does the oval stuff you'll see what I mean. It's disconcerting the first time you race a counterclockwise banked oval and only turn the wheel to the right.

I'd love to see a modern regal with white-letter tires and some wide-rear end chrome wheels. The advertising has worked on me; it's the first Buick I've seen since the 80's where I thought, 'yeah, OK, it doesn't look like social security on wheels.'

That's because it's actually a european designed car :v: Vauxhaul/Opel Insignia.

VVV Yeah they've changed the front just enough to mask it but the back is really distinctive and mostly unchanged.
