Damn dude, you seem really defensive about this issue. Why can’t you coexist with differing opinions and/or go have enthusiasm for your go-fast motorsport series in the comment section of an article about go-fast motorsport series? Did a drifter fuck your girlfriend or something?

E36 is still the more popular chassis for drifting, but E46 cars are popping up more and more. One of the coolest cars in my local drift scene is an E46 owned by a guy who runs a local fab shop. It’s one nasty machine:

The sport has come an incredibly long way in a very short span of time. The amount that the cars and drivers have evolved in the last ten years is obscene.

Also, it is easily one of the funnest car cultures to participate in; particularly at the grassroots level. Sure, drifting is often made into a competition, but at…

It is not the fastest way around a track, mostly due to the lack of braking. That is, in fact, one of the biggest differences between “drift” cars and “grip” cars. Drift cars have relatively anemic brakes, at least for the crazy amounts of power they make. That’s because their runs are short and they get flung into…

“If they have grip why are they sliding around?”

Because that’s the point of this form of motorsport? The incredible grip of these cars is why they need such ridiculously powerful engines. If they didn’t make tons of grip why would they need 1000+ horsepower?

“Drive the car as fast as you can around a pre-defined…

LoL, 20 MPH:

“is there a disadvantage (besides reliability) of going higher HP ? IS it more of a torque game?” 

Formula D is run on strict tire limitations. In the rules there is a sort of tire-to-weight ratio. The heavier your car, the larger of a tire size you are allowed to run; up to a point that is. So building a competitive…

“I don’t think that manufactures are going to reverse engineer vehicles so they’ll get worse mileage.”

They don’t have to. All they have to do is stagnate, which in a historical context they are extremely willing to do. Also, every major auto manufacturer has a deep repertoire of engines in their lineup. There are…

The popularity of SUV/CUV vehicles over sedans and hatchbacks means that high EPA fuel economy standards are more important than they would otherwise be. It is more difficult, and therefore more costly, to design more fuel efficiency into those body-styles. Without government pressure, automakers have no serious…

That’s what I figured. Brutal. No family should have to go through that just for a paycheck, let alone watch the man responsible become a goddamn senator.

“we were preparing for a mass-casualty situation and only got one patient, a guy who was at the mouth of the mine when it blew up.” 

I’m a little confused by this. Were they not transporting the wounded out in a hurry? Or was it simply that the explosion was so deadly that there was nothing left but the dead and those…

Pretty sure Cutler still wakes up in a cold sweat every now and then after having been permanently scarred by his last bout with Mueller.

“Why is anyone still asking his opinion on anything? He’s about as smart as the shit his last name describes.” 

I like to think CNN keeps him on in order to make Republicans look even dumber/out of touch than people already think they are. The more time goes on, the more “conservative media pundits” seem to do more…

“The guy ... let it be known that he had a fondness for the artistic stylings of the young women who worked as the talent at a local establishment that served the entertainment needs of the male population.” 

Three words: “Enriched Bleached Flour.”

Sure, it has happened with the gender roles flipped and that is a great example to prove out the existence of this phenomenon.

But let’s be real here. John and Paul were hardly oppressed by the policy, they just had to keep their private lives out of the public eye; and during the pre-Internet era to boot. No big…

“I suspect that the rules against fraternising are unrelated to cheerleaders’ protection.” 

They are absolutely unrelated to cheerleaders’ protection. It is not about keeping them safe, it is about protecting the ‘image’ of the team and the ‘purity’ of the cheerleaders themselves.

Think of the retrograde policies for…

And some of us are aging way, way more slowly than ever.

Zuckerberg is the perfect evidence to illustrate the fact that wealth inequality is completely out of control and the current rendition of American capitalism is hopelessly flawed. That he has become so insanely rich from a business he has no real understanding of or control over boggles the mind.

I can’t believe how…
