Slower than an off-road truck because...
A dude in a lifted fat tire truck w/ "salt-life" skull decal went first on a straight line course with many rough spots.
The pavement changes on the course kept my speed down because it made my car very lose over them. He could keep accelerating although bouncing some too. Even braking was scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas. Im in a new 2015 Sport w/ 32-33 PSI on stock summer tires. So, unless a sway bar or something will help, he owns me on that course. Last edited by JohnTrang; 03-30-2016 at 01:01 PM. |

You'll get banned for doing that on the street. If, say for example, it were a "Closed course with professional driver..." then ur good.

Perhaps you should care less about rednecks in manhood contests, and worry more about the peoples lives you put in danger by speeding down a backroad!
Perhaps children live and play on that backroad! Maybe someones family dog roams around that backroad! Maybe other drivers arent driving like idiots coming the other way down the backroad! If you want to race, go to a track. DARWIN PLEASE HELP!

1) Read forum rules. 2) ALL RACING IS DONE ON THE TRACK. PERIOD 3) I'd presume by your age you would know better, but obviously not. All goes back to what I've said before.... Today's 'drivers' don't drive, they aim..

Someone already mentioned the rules in a previous post on this thread, so your redundant post is worthless. Take it easy, the guy clearly didn't know of this rule when he originally posted. The same thing happened to me once. Add something productive to the discussion or

Don't act so hard for someone who isn't on this forum enough to know the rules themselves. 36 posts.

I don't equate defending another forum member (as I'm doing) with hardness.* Nor do I equate time spent on this forum with hardness, in fact, just the opposite (which probably gives you an indication of my opinion of you).* Again, there's no reason to grill the poster about his seemingly honest mistake.* Thanks for the instruction on multi posting, but I prefer to address each post on its own. |

I implied that your lack of time on the forums, lack of knowledge of the forum rules and functions and on top of it supporting bannable and possibly fatal actions by another driver is ignorant and hypocritical. You act like you know everything, but in reality don't know anything at all. I was NOT grilling him on not reading the rules, nor has there been much talk about that. There were pointers to read the forum rules, but the grilling came from the action he described. There are plenty of times where people post new threads with the same questions and plenty of same members on this thread help them out with the search function either through google or the forum. You on the other hand aren't following rules of the forum as a choice and are choosing not to abide, which will be grilled on by the admins, only a matter of time. The action of street racing is moronic and unnecessary and should not be done PERIOD, let alone posted on a public forum. If you defend him on his actions as well then you properly don't belong on this forum if you are not going to respect any the rules at that point. Go drive your 370z off a cliff and buy a riced up 95 Honda Civic and go hang out with the little kids and the ricers that love to street race because that's the only place they actually feel fast. That's the mentality you are showing, immature and ignorant. Also shows more each time you use the word "whambulance". Regular freeways, back/abandoned roads and streets are not made with the same properties as a track. The track has properties in the asphalt to increase traction with the tires. P.S. if you were too look into the multi-quote function closer you can see that you can reply to each post individually under each quote and when you post it, it will show quote and then response, quote and response. So technically you are breaking forum rules for no reason dumbass

And suggesting that the dimwit in a Z racing a lifted truck down poorly maintained backroads in Alabama should push it harder is not productive The OP obviously needs additional reinforcement. I think he deserves everything he's getting here. However, you are entitled to your own opinion, even if it is stupid and wrong
