Those knee airbags (and the bar that shoved into my shins at warp 10 and bruised them when I hit a pole in a Dodge Caravan at 15 mph) are only there (and only make airbags painful) because not enough americans can be trusted to wear their seatbelts, so the US regulations mandate enough airbag force/coverage to stop an…

I was going to say - holy shit those tyres are pooched, then I checked the youtube description and... yep. They're a long way past giving useful information.
"The thing is, there is no general rule here. If you have ABS (as just about every car on the road does today), you shouldn't pump the pedal. If you don't have ABS, you should avoid hard braking if you can."
Corvettes sound like crap, though. They have that low pitch drone like the longest fart/burp combo EVA. Not a nice sound at all.
The lead Engineer at Reynard on the project was the same guy that had been involved in all kinds of Le Mans stuff (Nigel Stroud) including the Mazda 757. The guy was an utter genius. The car itself was very well designed (within the Panoz-dictated front engine parameters) - the rear section and gearbox/susp came off…
Why does Leno always drive with his head back, looking down his nose with his eyes shut?

We can see this, right?
Try and twist it if you want, but power equalisation is unconnected to handling. The Mustangs had more power than anything else, so it was equalised. The suspension design is still terrible, and still inferior (in every way within a road course context) to IRS.
I have never directly raced against a Mustang. Different classes, so your imagined animosity doesn't exist. I'm a race car engineer - shitty design offends me, that's all.
"How many Continental tire series/Grand AM/Pirelli tire series races have you ran in?"
Based on your motoring history, I'd have thought it would have been easy enough for you to ROLL onto the other side....
Odd title, being as he looks to be trying to stab the throttle to get the car out of fairly hefty understeer for most of the first half of the video until he gets to a corner tight enough to pull the 'understeerstopping stick'. It wants to go straight on, that beast does.
Those targets should be 2016 as the prime target, 2015 being unrealistic. Typo.
So I think the answer is "No, you haven't been reading this". It's hard to believe you're not just trolling at this stage, so wildly have you misrepresented my arguments and ignored all my clarifications.
"So not a single person anywhere in the US motorsports scene, to include NASCAR, has any skill that is useful to Formula 1 in any capacity?"
NASCAR experience itself brings no transferrable skills to Formula 1. Neither does Formula Mazda, neither does WRC. The styles of car and types of competition make any specialisation completely irrelevant. Yes, basic engineering skills are needed across the board, and stores, phone answering janitors, parts ordering,…
