(looks like he punched it and the rear lost traction??) Here's a video without the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB-KBaevPqM&feature=player_embedded Looks to me like it started around a little and he dumped (all the way) out of the throttle. In most high HP cars, as soon as you have to cor...

If you can full power out of a turn AT the apex or slightly before...your power to weight ratio is not correctly set up.

Agreed.

We have a winner.

Glad I didn't have to explain that, I was afraid it might be too obscure for a punch line.


P.S. It was a chromed lug nut, somebody is probably going to be looking for it.

Last I saw Lin with the item in question,

Wait for it...

It reminded me of a courtroom scene from a Herman Wouk play.


Bonus points for whoever is first to name the play or (later) movie.

snicker a lost/loose nut! :lol: LMAO! That reminds me of one of my long time favorite lines: What's the difference between a (fill in whatever works here, a model or make of car, use your imagination - it works on many levels) and a porcupine? Wait for it... A porcupine has the pricks on the outsid...

Kyle -

The autocross is Sunday.

I have no idea why this isn't done in driver's ed courses. For most new drivers the first time they under/over-steer is when they are about the hit the solid object (with the wheel cranked to lock and the brakes on the floor).

It should be interesting...

Timing as needed.

I am looking to have a good time teaching a new student how to drive the "Silver Bullet". Its always fun to teach someone that's never autocrossed before in a ASP Vette. :shock: :lol: RC Let me start the line for that right here (when you get around to teaching old dogs new tricks)) :lol2...

Would anyone really care locally if you clamped some turndowns on? You are definitely getting a bad rap due to the side pipes. Due to the shape of the turnout, we haven't been able to come up with anything we thought was viable (clamp on but not fall off). We have installed diffuser cones. The supp...

Threshold of pain seems to be somewhere between 103.6 and 108.2. :lol: Hmm, I'd really like to find a way to factor "threshold of pain" into the sound policy. Maybe call it the sidepipe exception? :lol2: Otherwise we're going to have to put in a throttle stop to get through the season. :r...

If that was a tan boonie hat it's probably mine - Leave it in the van, I'll get it in October. It might have come from a ride-a-long in which case the driver in that instance did his job. lol I wish we hadn't run out of memory on the camera in the C*br*. I heard loud groaning at the end of the strai...
