Vitamin J posted:Alright man. Well how many people here have dismantled an entire Miata, only to put it back together again? Me, for one. They're pretty simple cars. On the subject (also going along with the FXT thread from today), here's a Forester XT spanking a GTO. 12.6 sec 1/4 mile for the Forester is damned impressive. This guy has since thrashed most of the FXT drivetrain, rebuild it and is now in the 11s. http://videos.streetfire.net/search/gto/6/c168377c-bef4-4761-b379-9846000bdfd5.htm

wolrah posted:That was my thought too. I assume pro drivers train for a lot of interesting situations, but if that happened to me I think my brain would just melt. I think this driver's brain melted, too. If you watch, you'll see him trying to steer away from the wall... with no loving wheels. I guess steering is something that's ingrained in you.

Cat Terrist posted:What the gently caress are you smoking???? MIni is far from failing and they are selling plenty. It is also BMW owned and controlled. Eh, looks like their numbers are up a bit lately... I just see them as played out (built up bitterness from having to deal with their crappy cars and $600 discount part price for a loving power steering pump). This is a stupid ploy to get attention, though. What could Porsche possibly have to gain by engaging in this? If they win, big deal, a Porsche beat a Mini. If they, in some twisted fashion, lose, they lost to a Mini. No gain anywhere.

Kotaru posted:Not youtube, but a video caught by a police officer driving down an interstate. Looks like a firebird that was doing over 100mph before it went airborne and vaporized after hitting the bridge support. Survived because he was ejected before the car hit the bridge support. Would not have been otherwise. Firebird. Would have been more fitting with a Cameero.

Sockington posted:In another video, they show him get in a different car and just leave the limo there. Yep, that view shows what's up. I was wondering why the driver didn't just raise the height of the front suspension to clear the obstacle... the smoke/vapor/whatever release that you can see in this angle makes it look like that wee small bump took out the pneumatic/hydraulic/whatever front suspension. That's the best that the ol' USA can do?

Muffinpox posted:There's lazy engineering and there is cost engineering. There's 0 reason to add IRS to the GT500, it's already more capable at the drag strip than any car within 2x the MSRP. It's a fat grand tourer you can rip up the drag strip with, not a single purposed track machine. This is a silly argument and a GT500 having a live axle rear suspension is both a lazy engineering and a cost engineering failure.

InitialDave posted:Yeah, that's the point. Even taking the very best possible view of the guy, he moved the car without due care for the guy being stood there, and at that point it becomes his fault. Keep in mind, this is NYPD, which is especially proud of their "Stop and Frisk" program, where they literally stop people and frisk them with 9 out of 10 stops resulting in no problems found. To actually do something that stupid, not in front of but TO an NYPD officer? He's lucky that is all he got. The cop stepped in front of the car to be an obvious impediment to the driver, who was a complete rear end in a top hat. drat, it's a sad day when I'm even remotely on NYPD's side. I wonder what the bodywork cost will be on the Ferrari, I saw the scratches on the rear quarter at the end of the video, I'd have to think there's at least paint transfer and possibly dented metal where the door hit the cab.

InitialDave posted:I see both sides of these kinds of things, because my brother's a copper, but my attitude is always that if you want to fight the police, go right ahead - but in court, not on the street. Take your ticket, politely explain that you do not believe you should be ticketed because XXXXX, then decide whether it's worth the hassle of fighting it later. quote:Property damage while in the process of arresting someone? How does that usually go? I'd imagine if he's aquitted of the charge, he can sue them for the repair cost, otherwise I can't imagine he'll get anywhere. That repair is all on the car owner. There's no claim against the city/PD. Lesson? Don't be a dick about a $125 ticket when you're driving an expensive car. And the police are actively writing a ticket. And people are filming.

Hello Spaceman posted:Yeah, local news channel has a clip on its YouTube channel. Sweet gently caress. I watch Russian dashcam videos a lot, I think they're great training to spot where/when the incident is going to occur. This was absolutely out of the blue and shocking barely begins to cover it. You don't train for someone with an abject disregard for every other being on the road driving a many-ton vehicle.
