Das Volk posted:Not as high a price as the BMW Castrol TWS for M cars, but there's an "SRT formula" called Pennzoil Ultra. I'm not sure how it differs from other oils but there's some certification level it has that others don't. I'm taking the "early and often" option for oil changes, it's getting one at 500 miles tomorrow before we set off. Not a bad idea. I just did a quick google, at 10 bucks a quart, that's cheap insurance. (as long as it doesn't call for something stupid like 3 gallons)

Did you do a massive donut/burnout with the old one right before you turned it in? If not, for shame. I need to see it in person at some point.

Extend your trip to near the Coachella Valley so I can see it! Joshua Tree is nearby... Actually I'd avoid the valley, sand storms have been frequent and you don't need that everywhere!

You driven through any tunnels yet? I can't imagine that's any fun when you cannot stomp on it yet. (how many more miles 'til it's broken in?)

TPMS got freaked out by the negative altitude in Death Valley, and has been throwing errors since, so I'll have to get that looked at. Otherwise it's doing well! More photos:

Steak Flavored Gum posted:... why does the TPMS care about the altitude? Doesn't it only care about barometric pressure? Are you saying you don't understand the relationship between the two? Edit: essentially the tires will show as having less pressure at lower altitudes because of the density of air at altitude. In case you were serious.

cursedshitbox posted:Not hardly. No cop ever patrols that far out. By all means. do loving 180 or all she's got. I couldn't, the road was shredded  Good enough reason to go back though, we were already talking about going back next year in something AWD with camping gear. And yeah, it's so incredibly sparse out there we got to play around with the effects of aerodynamics and air density. Turns out the car runs out of power at about 8000ft DA @ 164MPH, and the power meter reads around 550hp. Down at sea level it's pulling hard at 175 and measuring 740hp, for reference.

There is a video from years ago of a Viper doing 100+++ in the Nevada straights, catching a bump weird, and shooting off the side of the road. Long story short, the occupants were okay but went end over end for a while.

God I did that exact drive last year, Fallon, Hawthorne, Tonopah, Rachel and ended in Cedar City. Boring as hell but a supercar would have made it immensely more enjoyable. We passed the time by hypothesizing what the SUVs with government plates were doing

El Jebus posted:Are you saying you don't understand the relationship between the two? I quite understand the relationship between barometric pressure and altitude. I also understand that it's only about 1 kPa higher than at sea level at the bottom of Death Valley, about a 1% difference. If that's what's loving with your TPMS, then something is very, very wrong. I was more questioning whether or not they were stupid enough to actually base the software on (edit: GPS) altitude and have some kind of moronic unsigned integer for feet above sea level, which I absolutely could believe. It's Dodge. Steak Flavored Gum fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 22, 2015 |

I mean, if the military can make mistakes like that... http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/f22-squadron-shot-down-by-the-international-date-line-03087/ I can't find any sources for the rumor about F-16 flight computers crashing when they flew below sea level in Israel, but it is a pervasive rumor.

I got go cane the hell out of a 2012 or 2013 or so six speed M3 yesterday, and with the smile it left on my face I can only imagine what daily driving one of those, much less a blue ICBM on wheels is like. Jesus christ. Granted, I only briefly managed to hit full redline to hear it sing once during the drive, but still, jesus.
