Preoptopus posted:1500 hp Lambos doing highway pulls. Why the gently caress are they street racing when part of this event was being held at a drag strip? I wont be surprised if Houston tells all of TX2K13 to gently caress off because of idiots like this.

VikingSkull posted:I'm not an import or drift guy but I love them. Beat the piss out of those loving cars, they deserve it. Don't stop until they are dead. Except for the pro cars, most drift vehicles are built knowing they're probably going to lose body work or break something. It reminds me a bit of the rally "gently caress it, I'm probably going to break it again" spot repairs they do.

Cat Terrist posted:And yet there's other big hp RWD road cars with IRS that are just as handy with big fat burnouts or a dragstrip. And even better they work much better on the 99% of where the car is used - on the road. Here CT let me give you a list of the <100k cars you can buy from the factory that will go into the 9s with just a tune and some slicks: -2013 GT500 -GTR Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Jul 6, 2012 |

Cat Terrist posted:And that answers my point..... how? 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. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Jul 7, 2012 |

rcman50166 posted:I know this has been posted before. But I think it deserves another look. Guy hill climbs in a very fast Fiat. Seems almost perfectly tuned. The screech comes from the tire compound skipping over pavement. I believe it's affected by hardness and contact patch design. Slicks just have a low pitched hum that isn't that loud.

DixielandDelight posted:Yeah, what a dummy Getting tossed around in a 3 point sucks and can make things seem a lot worse than they are. Compare how violent the ride in these two cars look: Girls first auto-x ride ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7erNqMOqgM Regular auto-xer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je0MORHjXjk The forces are pretty similar, the guy in the second one is just bracing and it seems smoother despite a big powerslide at the end which are pretty jarring even when braced.

Pretty Cool Name posted:How is driving at night with those huge touch screens? It must wreck your night visions unless it dims down to nothing, and then you can't use it. It doesn't make you completely blind but it definitely reduces your night vision a bit. In the Z06 even with dimming it still was pretty bright.

mdk posted:8 degrees, top down in an S2000 with no gloves, drifting on ice... gotta love Wisconsin. When the lakes freeze over in NH that's exactly what I'm doing. There are two heater vents where your hands are when at 10 and 2, as long as you have a hat on at full blast the interior is pretty toasty until temps go way negative or you're doing over 60mph.

For those of you that don't read the autox thread, I used an old iPhone4 as a front bumper camera and then on the last run of the day I got a sweet video of me removing it using a cone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9jFvdF2JOM It's still alive, although cracked, not bad considering it got ejected at about 40-50mph.

thealphabetsez posted:Simply put: AMS doesn't manufacture (produce) a car... It's a stretch (in my opinion, as well as terrible pun) that the Hennessey Venom GT could even be considered as it's so closely based upon another vehicle. Ruf is considered a manufacturer even though they just modify Porsches.

rcman50166 posted:Holy scrub radius Batman! I know, since the vehicles are lighter and there essentially isn't suspension in those, that you can have some. But that looks wholly unnecessary. Maybe someone who karts could explain it? A really simplified explanation is that the rear has way more grip than the front for karts. The frame stiffness and the scrub radius are essentially used to lift one of the rear tires during cornering to balance the grip between front and rear.

Ziploc posted:Smokey car that just slammed the barrier. I'd have a hard time staying in it too. I might not see flames, but are the occupants supposed to stay in a car that's on fire? Yea, boosters have enough vacuum for a few stops even if the vacuum generator goes kaput. However, in the case of total failure you're kinda boned since its not hydraulic or mechanical problem, the system is just designed for the brake booster to multiply the 50lbs pedal pressure you're providing up to 300lbs and now with that gone you need to supply that 300lbs pressure with just your legs to get the same braking force.

I tested out using the iPhone5 headphones as an external mic to get rid of wind noise for onboard footage, it works pretty well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--cmrxlnXnQ

Ringo Star Get posted:How'd you do this? I'd love to try it. I taped the earbuds to the rear near the plate then ran the wire into the hatch, although for the external Ill probably need a second piece if tape to keep the wire from flopping around. You need to experiment with mic placement a bit depending on how loud the car gets, I placed it based on idling the first time but the car is so absurdly loud at WOT the mic distortion just made it sound like William Durant screaming "HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUCK"
