She was one of a few drivers with the same issue: snap over steer on lift off. Heard drivers complaining about it all day. Everyone kept pushing more front wing, but the rear destabilized when lifting off throttle. 20 minutes before crashing Danica described this as “F-ing annoying.” First speedway race of the year…

Had a great experience getting exactly the WRX I wanted with a dealer. Guess it varies...
Just remember: you can sleep in your car, but you can’t race your house.
Proud former owner of a 2001 Bonneville SSEI. Supercharged 3.8L V6 sending gobs of instant torque to the front wheels with stupid wide tires; torque steered like a monster. When you’re in high school, that thing is a GT3 spec Tourer, drag machine, and jet fighter all rolled into one. It was truly a GM disaster with…
One of my many automotive pipe dreams is to buy one of these things for my wife as it’s safe, functional, and Volvo. Then after it’s been all used up; in a few years, it will follow the final common pathway of all automotive pipe dreams: the LS swap. The drive train with the AWD may be awkward, but you can’t beat that…
I’d love to have a motorcycle, but I’m with you; seen too many riders torn up in the hospital. I will admit that most people are some combination of drunk, reckless, or unprotected w/o a helmet, but I don’t want to be the one guy who did all the right things and still gets plowed in an intersection. The stakes are…

Florida Man really made it pretty far on that ATV.
The headline of this article misses the point of the study, and the article’s conclusion is misleading. The study concludes that low fat vs low carb diets have no significant difference in weight loss. This illustrates that the balance between caloric intake and energy use determines weight loss. Given that both…
Grew up with a Bonneville SSEi. Supercharged 3.8L V6. That thing was the tits for anyone under 20 years old. My front tires were bald as hell though.
As an actual doctor and make believe stunt driver, I totally sympathize with this guy. I’m sorry in advance if I do this as well. Nothing is worse than an impending out of hospital delivery. NOTHING.

Best analogy ever. Ever.
However, I believe they were actually turbo-supercharged. Just adds to the intrigue.
Great movie. Really enjoyed the timeline and driver focus.

Basically the same thing.
Clearly this is the X-wing equivalent of an LS swap.
“Though there’s no specific ordinance against the tank...”
I heard McClaren had originally contracted with Honda to help with any heart issues. Surprisingly, this didn’t work out.
Feel free to prove me right or wrong, but I think Aud also has a forced induction badging crisis of identity as well. I may be hallucinating, but I swear I’ve seen a “3.0T” gracing some Audi trunk, only to be accompanied by a “Supercharged” badge along the front fender. Usually, “T” designates a turbo charger. Unless…
