That was pretty awesome.

also, they didn't edit out the wall bump, and some of that stuff looks like it took less than 10 tries.

I wish we had a production car racing series like this in the US. Also, seeing a 300C tear up the track is both awesome and hilarious.

The 300c is so awesome in that series because it's so terrible, it forces every other car to run hundreds of kilograms of ballast. the restrictions are nuts. It all boils down to 4 door cars, and engines between 3 and 7.2 liter.

They could, you know, just not have a gap there.

That would be the simplest solution, a lot of races in the last few years have gotten hosed up because for whatever reason, a car didn't have the speed to make it over the ramp.

It does seem to me that while all makes and models are involved in those Russian dashcam videos, it seems like the exceptionally stupid poo poo is reserved for those boxy old Ladas/VAZs. My guess is that they're probably cheap as hell and driven by people who've never owned a car before (or people who spend all their money on vodka).

Actually, they're the only cars strong enough to survive the accidents, so they're usually featured in multiple videos. There was one video a while ago where a guy got t-boned pretty hard by another lada, and his door just fell off and he was absolutley fine. he probably drove around for another few years without that door.

So it's like a snowmobile, except none of your body weight contributes to traction, and you can't use your body weight to steer it in deep snow. If they could somehow make it more expensive and have a shorter range than a snomobile, i'd be completely sold!

How so? Assuming it's a cut-rate shipping sort of thing, there probably isn't a lot of repercussions for the ship/crew.

Those cranes are fairly large, but i still don't think they'd remain unscathed in a sitation like that.

And it wasn't like the brakes were too weak to do anything, they were perfectly capable of making the wheels not turn anymore... that just didn't have anything to do with where the rest of the truck was going.

The rear brakes didn't seem to be doing a whole lot either.

They should have done all the ramp truck tests with one of their non-running projects on the back.

I understand how this works with aircraft, the engines push on the air this hard i.e. pounds of thrust, meaning if pounds of thrust > weight of aircraft then it can theoretically fly straight up. But I never hear of cars producing x pounds of thrust, it's always horsepower, or some moonspeak number like PS or whatever, so how does this work with cars?

edit: Oh god I can smell the math coming :ohdear: loving numbers

In this case, it's Horsepower:Kilograms. Basically cherry picking imperial/metric units to make the numbers work.

Kid supercharges a regal and has some fun. Looks like a film project more than a hoonigan type video.

Dude seems a little old to be struggling so hard to justify driving a shitbox, and dubbing nu-metal over street racing videos against mustangs.

A 374whp regal is pretty awesome, but he claims it runs mid 11s when the only video of him on a drag strip with it is running high 13s.
