Revenant.Eagle posted:That is just badass. Do they counterweight them like that so they can stay balanced or something? Only thing you need is a locked diff. The way they pop it on two wheels at high speed with no ramps is badass. The times I've ridden in a car on two wheels the speed have been slower and a small ramp was used to lift the car. Like a 1ft high ramp.

BlackMK4 posted:Fifth Gear - Ferrari Enzo vs McLaren F1 Poor choice of the McLaren, if you're comparing day to day use. A regular F1 would be a better choice than a LM. But I guess you take any F1 you can get your hands on.

The King of Swag posted:I remember them talking about on TopGear that Hammond in the rocket car (before the crash), could very well set the UK land-speed record. My question though is how is that possible? Do you people not have top-fuel dragsters over there? They hit 350+mph in a quarter-mile. IIRC to set an official land-speed record you need to average the speed over 1km and the do it again in the ooposite direction within hour.

My father has a 70's car magazine somewhere that had an article on the stunt crew that did it. They made the same jump in front of an audience several times in the US. The article discussed the how the precise shape of the ramps was determined etc.

Pre '66 FIA historic racing means Dunlop Racing crossply tyres, which equals huge slip angles when driven hard compared to modern rubber.

I think the Giulia Q uses accelerometers in addition to wheel speeds to detect what is happening. It doesn't give the full beans on dyno even if all 4 wheels rotate. It needs to be put in "dyno mode" with a tester.
