Pretty much. My roommate has about 6 sets of wheels with tires.

I’m friends (and roommate) with the guy in the red E36 M3. I tried to get some drone footage from the Halloween bash, but issues with the app and then WiFi stopped me. I did get footage from the last overnight MI Drift even though:

I have seen an M plate 911 around Milford...

The question is basically when, not if. GM has all but confirmed it’s existence and that it’s coming.

Having seen the TourX in person, I wholeheartedly agree.

I would argue a car that tops at 130 would be MUCH faster 60-130... assuming it has some muscle. GRC cars, for example. Gear limited, but damn fast through the gears.

Exactly, thank you. There was no “hacking” at all. I’m really tired of how that word is used for any sort of slightly technical crime. Hacking is pretty specific-making something do something it wasn’t designed to do by means of modification, often electronically.

That’s actually kinda what my job does. We’re a supplier of slip control systems (ABS, TCS, etc), and we get the vehicles that we work on to drive basically daily. Nearly crashing because you screwed up a calibration change really makes you attentive fast.

FWIW, Keith7000's engines are built entirely off hand-drawings. He’s active on a scale model engine forum I don’t recall the name of. He also has like 60 years of machining experience...

It’s an M-plate, it’s manufacturer owned.

But trying to hide things in plain sight gets you the FCA choice:

Not going into the part about people going +5 whatever the limit is, yes some people will but most will just do comfortable, which seems to be 75-85 depending on the car.

Probably, but as long as they include the loophole for the rest of us, who cares?

It’s definitely adaptive cruise control.

Some brands have used other materials. Stainless is a bad choice due to it’s lower fatigue strength- a line would crack easier due to vibration from being in a car. However, copper-nickel alloys have been used, the nickel keeps the copper from work hardening and cracking. My UrS4 uses these lines, called “cunifer”.

Well IF they’re old enough to remember the introduction of the catalytic, they have a small argument. The early cats were very restrictive and coupled with the emissions-regulation choked carbs and such, removing them did often improve performance.

I have heard a painful amount of... older, um, traditional people pronounce it that way. Usually in the same sentence describing how satanic they are.

I’m extremely curious to know what difference this will have in actual 1/4 times. Superchargers inherently have full boost almost instantly after opening the throttle, so how much does that extra 0.25 seconds really help, especially given regardless of using launch control (torque reserve is a dumb name) or just…

The Hudson has a lever too, but it’s the safety catch. Hudsons were really pretty far ahead of the curve, unibody chassis, defroster system, backup mechanical brakes, etc. The only thing really old were the engines... Even though they were new in 1949!

How... how did a stock car snap a control arm at an autocross?
