Too bad most of those cars had their front suspension hosed the second their front right tire fell into that divet at speed. Its always sad to see a tire sitting at a 90 degree angle to the car.

In a couple of those, it looked like the guys didn't do the car any favors by flipping it into a pretty uncomfortable-looking position.

My guess is you have to be completely unaffected by it to get everything out of the machine, and the everyday driver would be anything but.

It kind of looks like there's a minor up-slope in the road, which would affect the cars a good bit. Maybe the tires and road surface are cold, too.

Ziploc posted:http://videos.streetfire.net/video/333-Fifth-Gear-062-Times_189566.htm Manufacturer 0-60 times are done on a dyno with a calculation that's supposed to account for drag. No G force, no drag from the front wheels, no extra weight from fuel or driver, etc. It is by no means a real world time, just as their horsepower numbers are always significantly higher than what the car is actually putting to the ground.

kimbo305 posted:wouldn't it be just as cheap to send out a ringer car and a test driver to go try to get the best 0-60 time possible? And fudge that if they don't like it? No, because the systems are already in place. Also, if everybody is already using this method, why would anyone want to run "real world times" and publish higher figures?

My guess is you have to be completely unaffected by it to get everything out of the machine, and the everyday driver would be anything but. In my physics class a few weeks back we were talking about acceleration due to gravity, and worked out that in some cars (I forget the exact calculations and times) as fast as the Ariel Atom and a few others, you're effectively experiencing freefall but with even more force. I immediately start to think about those dropzone type rides at theme parks (Since I've never skydived) and how the sensation makes all your muscles tense up and how violent it all is. Yeah, living vicariously through science class.

I immediately start to think about those dropzone type rides at theme parks (Since I've never skydived) and how the sensation makes all your muscles tense up and how violent it all is. I watched an interview with an NHRA Top Fuel driver last weekend where they asked him a viewer's question that had been emailed in to the show. The question was, "Why are you guys always out of breath at the end of a sub 5 second pass?" His answer, "Your entire body contracts when you leave the starting line and it is impossible to breathe until a few seconds after the pass is over because of the adrenaline overload." Now, I don't know how much I'd trust the medical opinions of a race car driver, but I can only imagine the insane rush it is to go from 0 to 300+ in less than 5 seconds. I know that when I make a pass in my car I'm pretty amped up by the end of it and I'm usually pretty drained the next day after racing.

On most modern cars, at least GM cars, power ratings are SAE certified based on tests with detailed conditions and procedures. It's not like the 1960s anymore where power ratings were often inflated. Nobody rates power at the drive wheels though; its always done as flywheel. But there's nothing wrong with that, IMHO.

Number_6 posted:But there's nothing wrong with that, IMHO. It does make things a little hard when comparing numbers across different drivetrain layouts, especially AWD. For example the 2.5L Subaru Boxer is apparently 165hp but I have no idea how that compares to, say a 145hp FWD car given drivetrain loss.

Aeka 2.0 posted:sorta a repost, changed up the editing a bit on a sandrail video I made. Keep the first song, take out the second and just have engine noise. The first song really kept with the flow of the video and general awesomeness. Sandrails are much more metal than they are rap. Also the second song was clipping something FIERCE. Ideally, fade out the first song into just engine noise.

How fast is the car you're driving and how many passes do you make in a day? That Targa video was really good. Looks like there were quite a few great cars there this year. Loving the Sprongls' Quattro, but I may be biased as their shop is in my home town. I was bummed that the route last year involved no jumps. We skipped the classic bridge jump in Brigus even. Good to see that Ralph Gilles still can't keep a car on the road. Probably a repost, but my turn at loving up the Marystown hairpin in 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvZ6g85-EcY Edit: More of the Quattro -- this was shot at the charity autocross that's run the day after Targa is over. People donate money and get to ride along in Targa cars for a run. Somebody just got their $5 worth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDRRkan4PMQ Sucks for the marshals though. It is also funny that it is in the parking lot of the provincial capital buildings. Blooot fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Oct 10, 2008 |

Yeah, there's a decent uproar at the moment about how it happened. Both drivers are fine luckily or poo poo would have really hit the fan. The car is wrecked by the look of it though.

The interview in the video has the other driver saying he was on a flying lap and that the flags were only visible 100m in front of the accident, and if that's true, it's conceivable that there really wasn't enough time to react or avoid. Every situation I've seen has flaggers two corners before the accident displaying a yellow, either standing or waved.
