Wait, police identified the killer cars without the expert help of the Jalopnik commenters? ... okay.

Completely awesome. You and Peter can teach. It may remind me of a certain Van Halen song though...

Good point. Any ire should be directed straight to the government, who told them they could do that. Which is completely ridiculous. That means even less return on the taxpayer money they were given.

Can you be my history teacher?

You're definitely right. I'd spend a ton of time on certain tracks and still be X.X off the best time and have absolutely no idea where they're making it up. Like you, I'm good at it, but hey I've got a job and crap to do; I can't spend 48hrs playing one track over and over and over on my $1500 gaming rig. Heck, I…

This is why we can't have nice things.

Prepare for your mind and entire argument to be blown:

Behold, the wild redneck in his natural habitat. This one appears to be from the particular species, Mountainous Redneck, as denoted most obviously by his license plate. Although the Mountainous Redneck is typically associated with the more widely-known West Virginian locale, the breed does also dwell among the…

But if you were buying for performance at $30k, you should chose a Mustang GT.

I bet you didn't pay $30k for your Civic Si.

Epic jumps. Just look at these cars - they're all forgettable, horrible examples of (mostly) 80s American engineering gone wrong. But when they're flying through the air, all of that is redeemed by uncontrollable laughter, along with the knowledge that they will surely suffer the most glorious death ever known to a…

Remove important fluids, such as:

Great point. Because people who have $18,000 to throw away on total excess luxury toys will consider an additional $5-7k to be totally unpossible.

Yeah, I get it all the time at the MX track thanks to the uneven dirt, but fortunately dirt has much less grip so the oscillation usually goes away quickly. Never managed to get it on the road, but then, VFRs are ultra-stable.

Ironic photo number 9 is extremely ironic. Well-played, Mr. photographer.

No problem, I'm fluent in both languages :)

Epic headshake crash. Needs more rake/trail and more weight over the front end. Looks a bit top heavy, too.

I think you mean trail. Caster doesn't exist in the motorcycling world.

Yeah, you're right; it paces the M3 around the track. Too bad the M3 can't turn. And I'm sure you'll be even more shocked that the Mustang made up most of its time against the M3... on the brakes.

Not quite true. These cars are tremendously cheap to race, on purpose. There are guys who build the car and do the whole season for less than $25k. The cars are so over-engineered and so light compared to the source weight of their component parts, they really last. Guys do a whole season on one set of tires, two…
