Is it me, but judging by some of the camerawork, it looks like a few scenes have been sped up?

It will be tough for his daughter. A great girl for helping achieve his dreams. Even going out like that, it's good that they could be together.

Does it come fueled? That wouldn't be a terrible way to go out.

Yeah, my ex wrecked our '03 bugeye wagon wrx that year and the '08 was so bad compared to the '03 that I bought a Mazdaspeed 3....which also wasn't as good as the '03.

24.10.65/3 would equal a 8 minute 3 second Nurburgring time

yeah, I remember my first time at the strip and wondering why the hell is this track more slippery than anything I ever encounter on the street. Rubber compounds just completely different and incompatible. Sometimes I'll start to the far left or right of the rubber.

Agreed. Weight Distribution is already optimal, but adding wheel speed sensors and the ability to slip the clutch, pull timing, apply brakes, and close the electronic throttle all keep the tires right at the threshold.

Didn't Chris Harris say they bring two cars to events under supervision. One for straight and one for corners.

:) I've done it just enough to know the basic lingo. A true dragracer's lingo vocabulary is about 5 times more than mine.

It's very hard to keep from blowing the tires off. Your 90mph trapspeed would actually drop a bit if it hooked (same thing you saw with Doug's times/mph), but that's enough for a mid to low 14. 1.8 probably couldn't happen, but 2.0 could on a decently sticky tire and that .384 x 2 =.768. 15.66-.768= would be a…

With a 103-106mph trapspeedhe could run as quickly as 12.80's, but it would be a lot of work and might not be possible with a gated shifter. Doug's 60 ft. time is probably in the 2.2 range. Sticky tires and good launch technicque might get it into the 1.8 range. Every tenth in the 60 ft. reduction generally…

Glad you got to do this. The Optima stuff is a lot of fun with some serious competition. Stephanie Cemo is a friend of mine and she did pretty well with the Lingenfelter Camaro at that event.

Stutz. Because Bearcat

Not the quickest car I've driven, but my C5z hit 179 at the Ohio standing mile. It's been a little faster than that though.

The Aztec of Jeeps. They need to fire the hipsters in the marketing and product planning departments.

Agreed. Going into a known hotspot on my way home last night, I slow down and a Bmw 528 passes me at 75 or so in a 60 zone. I tuck in behind him in traffic (at less than 70) when I see a black Charger with thin blade lights behind us and coming up fast. I move over and the Charger goes for the Bmw and rides his…
