I’ve attend over 50 rally events in the last decade. Little or no knowledge? That’s hardly the case. They go through the route and map out the turns. They also use the data from previous years and sections run to put the composite plan together.

Go 323 miles per hour and get back to me.

Being plumb on the slopes can increase your risk of roll over significantly. It depends on your exact center of gravity but it could be extremely dangerous compared to a normal vehicle.

Then you better have some deep pockets.

Explain to me how it would take you 3-4 days?

You get around 170 miles of charge per hour at a Supercharger. Philadelphia to San Francisco is 2,850 miles. 2850-200 miles of initial charge gives you 2,650 miles of charging required.

2,650/170 =15.5 hour of charge time.

The Tesla makes a 42 hour trip, without fuel stops,…

Front diff towing??? Mudding the whole way there?

I’m also an engineer and I strongly disagree. The limiting factor is the clamps not the wrench. You want the lowest modulus structure possible,while still doing the job, to reduce force input on the clamps.

How does this compare on track to a base C7 Corvette?

What should that motor make?

Not being a Honda guy is this about as good as it gets for a off the shelf tuner motor?

The guy obviously has no understand of metallurgy. A rivet is not the same as a GTAW welded repair. What a fucking idiot.

It all depends. Your are still not considering the whole system. You’re trying to isolate parts and it’s giving you an incorrect view on how the system works.

We carefully measure application pressure rates, or how fast the system can reach a given pressure. This response time is key in ABS/stability control because…

Math words! Run and hide! I usually date Ph.Ds or women with far superior math skills than mine. I sincerely apologize for attempting to educate people outside a formal classroom setting.

Where does it say Labert was paid?

Powered by Honda.

It’s almost like I went to school for this, then studied under guys with 30+ years of experience. But oh well, we’ve got journalists writing articles not engineers. I’m not going to take the pay cut or verbal abuse.
Every passenger vehicle I’ve tested/designed is traction limited.

Starting to fade is a really loose term so it’s hard for me to answer your question without knowing what part(s) have of the system have their performance compromised. Yes, if at some point you had a reduction in friction coefficient between the pad and rotor from overheating the brake system with the ability to soak…

You’re not thinking about real life brake systems.You’re approaching it like physics class homework. No manufacture puts a caliper/pad combo designed for a 12 inch rotor on a 15.5 inch rotor and calls it good.

You need to factor in dozens of factors from total piston displacement, piston seal groove geometry, piston…

Absolutely false. I work in R&D for a major brake manufacture. The only thing liming your stopping performance is traction. Period. Full stop. End of conversation. I’m so tired of hearing the same BS repeated over and over.

Now if you want to talk pedal feel, modulation and the like it can help a lower skilled driver.…

Friction is not the problem. Heat capacity is what matters. This is basic stuff guys.
