If you have never been stranded by a modified car, you are not trying hard enough, lol. That’s all part of the fun.

The issue most likely wasn’t his stopping distance. That car has one of the shortest 100-0 stopping distances in the world. The car behind you is a different story. If you hammer the brakes on a new Grand Sport, there is just about a 0% chance that the car behind you is going to react fast enough to not slam into

Unfortunately, I believe they were restricted by tires. If they would have had Pirelli or Michelin as sponsor, I thing they could have easily achieved a few seconds shorter, and those tires are much further developed on the Ring.

They did not advertise its ability to lift its wheels on the road... they advertised its ability to lift its wheels on a prepared race surface. There is not a road in the world where that car could make enough traction to lift the front.

Just to be clear, the evaporator on probably 99% of cars is contained in the HVAC unit, which is in the cabin of the car. The HVAC unit’s fresh air intake (they call it that for a reason) is supplied from outside of the car, and then drawn through a filter. It would actually be very clean water, as you would only be

This was an excellent write-up, and I am glad that you brought up the illegal factor.
