Then based on the date code on the other part its a Red 2001 W-platform car made in September of 2000.

That grid with the dots is the date the part was manufactured.

The trick is knowing what to buy there. The designs usually aren't too bad but the build quality is where they cut corners. Anything that requires work out of the mold should be avoided.

Aaaaaaamd you don't know what irony is either.

I think it fits how futuristic the car is.

I'm not going to hold your hand and teach you physics.

"Two ton missile"

Yes. One of the great things abou SCCA events at Grissom is its surrounded by an air force base, prison, some sort of distribution center and a farm. I don't see the. SCCA getting kicked out anytime soon.

It is a big difference. Look at what would have happened if this wasn't on ice.

I feel some bees would be better.

The longer an impact takes the lower the force. Search impulse of force. Then as the car is sliding backwards and changing position the impact takes longer.

1. The car was still going faster than 1 mph

Sorry, but what you said doesn't make sense to me.

Yes they're related. If it can't slide as much it crumples more.

If you're only using high school level physics it seems wrong. Think about the energy dissipated from the car sliding.

He really hates those tires

One problem is a lot of the good color combos have already been claimed so when anyone wants to do Black and Gold they're instantly in classic Lotus/JPS territory.

That's most of it but its not all that matters. Think of how the energy is dissipated when the car "bounced" off on the ice here versus what would have happened on dry pavement with the driver holding the brake. Obviously it was still a solid hit and the car took damage but it would no doubt have been worse on…

E=MC^2 has nothing to do with this. Its F=MA that you're thinking of. That's true on a frictionless surface (this ice is getting close to that) or in space. On a dry road grip plays a role too. The rally car was moving a lot faster than the car it hit. Even though both cars have the same change in momentum the car…

Both cars are pretty light and its on snow so the car that got hit is going to slide a lot more than crumple. Still a pretty solid hit.
