Newsflash!

I've noticed a lot of the "track" or "functional" guys online and irl don't even track often, the majority go out like 2 times and are like OMFGFUNCTIONALLTHEWAYBRO

 

[Sleezer1533]

All Im saying is that just cuz you dont track you car doesnt mean you arent performance minded, and just cuz you dont track doesnt mean you are banned from certain modifications to your car, for some people they have one car and dont want to destroy their DD at the track.

I think its time that people stop considering certain cars and parts as rice and start considering the owner of the car as rice. IMO people are ricers who rice out their cars, but cars and parts cant be rice on their own.

LOLOL you guys got trolled hard! this is weaksauces wing. Just through it on there to see what it looked like. Personally, I like it. Eventually it'll happen but thats a couple years down the road. First comes coils, tires, APR splitter, 6-8 point chromoly cage (Ill make it at school next year), KL, CF hood, CF trunk, then comes a nice APR/origin GT wing. Its funny that aj thinks that a protege wont get up to speed to notice a difference. Iv personally felt what weaksauce's wing does. At 80 +mph you can visually see the squat from outside the car. The reason I would need all this down force you say? I want to stay aggressive offset wise, 17x9 +20's and still run a good amount of tread. To do this and not poke tire you need camber and a lot of it. after about 3 degrees in the rear the car will start to oversteer. A wing like weaksauce's will eliminate all oversteer due to the alignment. When you add a splitter its the same story only in the front. Say goodbye to understeer. Ive felt before and after, its noticeable. Aero is all but useless in autox, not enough speed to feel anything. Around here its all about the back roads, long sweeping corners. You really dont need a track to drive a car hard, just knowledge of where to go and at what time... Watch it to the end, me and weaksauce touge...

^^^ That was all very well stated.

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as ****

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, street racing is totally cool

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I'm sure you built your motor and boosted it just to get to the speed limit faster (rolleyes)

We all have some fun with our cars, don't bulls***. A friendly run isn't the same as meeting up every night trying to take pink slips (unamused)

Agreed. "Spirited driving" and "racing" (pushing a car to it's limit on public roads) are very different things.

 

[Protege03ak46]

Only reason we run together is to push eachother. Not like I do much pushing... the last turn going up is where it all counts. I average 65 to 70 while weaksauce could do about 80 to 85 easy. Thats our proving grounds, banked sweeping turns ftw.

you can actually ask everybody who knows me, i drive like a grandma. I built it, so it wouldnt blow up when i boosted it, and i boosted it, so i wouldnt get my doors blown off by minivans

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

so you race minivans (hah)

 

[719prottege]

i got whooped by a minivan... turbo caravan running 23psi and drag radials lol

 

[justanothermp5]
