Great passanger reaction to a ride in a drift car. Something about the point out the side window screaming is hilarious to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccytimix3G4

frozenphil posted:It's pointless arguing with them about this. If your preferred motorsport doesn't involve shifting your own gears and taking corners then it is equivalent to figure skating to some people here. Just post what makes you happy and ignore the motorsport snobs. You really are the best forum troll. SmartPowders posted:What I did is a hell of a lot safer than the countless people that text while driving, talk on a phone while driving, have a dog in their lap while driving, eating while driving or putting make up on. Street racing in traffic is stupid. Doing a 3-4 second acceleration with open area, not so much. Changing lanes to avoid rear ending that car you couldnt slow down in time for was indeed a very safe move. I'm glad you gave him an entire lane when you passed him at the last second incase he ignored the blinker you put on and moved to the right to let you through!

SmartPowders posted:Are you blind, stupid or a combo of both? I was out of the gas WAY before I got anywhere close to that car. I'm sure you've never passed someone on the interstate before, clown. With the gearing in my car, letting out the gas kills the speed in it. My foot was laying on the brake, but hardly ON the brakes. Glad you know so much about it since you were there. Stick to internet racing, it suits you. I'm glad you are an expert in these matters. I'll remember to stick to internet racing and just telling stories because I'm not a documented  PRO STREET RACER like you. I think this will work out the best for all because I also am not very good at writing overly defensive posts about why its OK for me to document driving like a oval office based on the 'you wern't there you don't know me!' line of logic.

RealKyleH posted:Am I the only one who doesn't think that was particularly egregious by a standard of most forums posters? It seems to me whats really warranted is hey, street racing is dumb and frowned on here. You'll end up in jail and its dangerous so don't do it and especially don't post about it. Posting about street racing isn't looked upon that well here. Posting a video of yourself street racing is very frowned upon. Defending your posting of that video with the 'up yours faggots' defense strategy is kicking the hornets nest. SmartPowders posted:You butt hurt guys just need to calm down. You disagree with what was done, I respect that. Make that point and let it go. Going off on tangents past that isn't going to prove anything. We commit to corners like we commit to flaming.

ozziegt posted:I haven't watched the video but I don't see how that makes sense. More weight does mean more friction on the contact patches, but it also means more weight to control with that grip (either when accelerating or centrifugal forces when cornering), so I think it kind of evens out. Theres a differnece in the abolute terms vs. relative. If you have 2 cars on tires with a coefficient of fricton of 1, a 10kg car will have 98nM of force while a 15kg will have 150nM. A small bump will cause the same absolute loss in grip for both, but the change will be much more drastic for the lighter vehicle. If you want a car that can be quickly driven everyday and by 90% of people, heavier is better to a point. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Oct 22, 2009 |

Preoptopus posted:Your comparing apples to oranges and i dont know how you dont see that. Yea man I totally agree. When did race cars become rolling billboards? I wish we could go back to the Group C days when cars weren't just huge rolling ads for companies, like this:  I mean really some of the most notable race cars in the world never had marketing on them, it's like one day a few years ago I woke up and there were just these huge MONSTER ENERGY stickers and poo poo. What drivers use monster energy drinks. I don't know man I never ever saw Ferrari putting on sponsorships that have nothing to do with motorsports:  Then you go back to the Group B days when the cars were cars and men were men and did you see these huge corporate sponsorships from companies whose products didn't involve cars? No!  In conclusion are you loving retarded, Preoptopus? Do you ever look at racing history before raging against the giant conspiracy machine thats ruining your racing for you? Events have been giant marketing tools forever, this isn't anything new. Special stages like that have existed for a long time in rally and in rally cross too. It's appeal is not sitting outside for several hours to see a car pound by for 5 seconds. Are the cars not racing? Are they not driving the same course? Does the faster driver not win? Are they not applying techniques required to drive as fast as possible through dirt? Complaining its watered down is like saying WRC sucks because it's not a pure rally like Paris-Dakar; it's inside a stadium, who gives a gently caress? I mean, gently caress, they don't even need co-drivers. Ari Vatanen didn't use one on his world record pikes peak climb so I guess that isn't real rally either.

Preoptopus posted:Whatever man. Rally in the X games is loving boring, wattered down, slow, show offy at best, and not something i ever want to watch or be a part of. So if you like that poo poo, fuckin watch it, great. Il be youtubing Finnish amature rallys instead because I think thats where the heart of the sport is. I was on here to share an opinion, and was respectful about it. But saying that Pastrana and Block love the sport more than I do has to be one of the most childish assumptions I've ever herd. Just because they have the time, and money to spend on that more than I do doesnt mean they love it more. Im a fan of rally, hill climbs, dakar etc.. Anyone of us could get into a car which we dont own, charge it down a mapped out planned out ramp at a calculated speed and hop some watter. Yea its cool. But its not sport. You really don't know poo poo about US rally do you? Instead of watching finnish amateur rally, why don't you watch a video of what Ken and Travis do 99% of the time in their cars when not at the X-games events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLzEl_0FgK8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ySmUIyhU3E&feature=related Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Jan 3, 2010 |

Uthor posted:That was my thought, also. However, what happens if you enter a corner covered with this stuff while drifting? What would the sudden change of grip do to the car? The car will begin to transfer more of it's sideways momentum into moving forward i.e. wherever the nose/front wheels point. In the case of drifting, the car will push towards the inside of the corner. I doubt it's sticky enough that a dab of the throttle couldn't correct that, but as they said in the video that would chew up your tires pretty badly. edit: Car related 5 second films are the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL2Z9Q1xuIA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwa7LTMJU88 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByOFIYKzx5w Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 00:35 on May 14, 2010 |

I'm not a tow truck driver, but after seeing cars unloaded Im guessing he was putting it in neutral and removing the ebrake so he could lower it by winch, except he undid a strap he wasn't meant to.
