Because all-seasons. :gabe:

It was more of a joke about all of CR. :gabe: You can't have a good thread here without some smack talk.

Welcome to CR?

Considering the cost of cars, they should all come with a schwag bag like this. Granted, the average "my car is an appliance" owner wouldn't give two shits, but every enthusiast would. It's not that difficult to do something like this and make the owner feel like you appreciate them for their choice.

Insurance is the tough part and that's up to the event organizers, not the location. That's why it's best we either find a group willing to put the event on for us, or one that's willing to absorb us into one of their regular events. An influx of 20+ cars is a lot to absorb, but it also does a great deal of good to a club's bottom line. So I don't think it'll be too hard to convince someone to help us put this event on or have us join them.

Once something that heavy gets spinning that fast, nothing short of an act of god will divert it. I started watching this thinking, yeah yeah, big tire down a hill into a lake.. Whatever.. Then I saw the hill it was going down. Awesome.

I'll be selling my spec.B later this year.....

God I hope that was photoshopped. Forget Uncanny Valley, that's the Uncanny Grand Canyon.

Might be testing a new traction control. I'd almost say they might be testing an AWD system, but I don't see axle nuts on the front wheels. Headlights are more Ferrari-like. Profile looks much the same; it might still be mostly mule.

I haven't heard anything about this. I'm sure they'll have the NTR lot at least. I hope they don't lose the Ackerman lot. I prefer that one.

True. Imagine what that power would be like in the original chassis, which was one THOUSAND pounds less. But hey, what's half a ton?

I'm not saying it won't be made. Just that a LOT usually changes from Concept to Production.

The ILX will be sub-30K, not the NSX. There's no way their Halo car will go for the same price as a Focus.

Saw it in person. Looks nice. It's small too, so it might not weigh much more than the original. However, it's a concept. So, ehh...

:lolguy: Non-sequitur win.

Looks heavy.

The engine is probably still mostly stock. It's so high strung from the factory that I'm sure they can't push much boost, hence the low gain.

I think the original goal was a single event for fun. No real classes, just a bunch of cones and some timing equipment. I think, due to the nature of this forum, that would be the best format for the first event. Then, if things go well, we can look into more complex arrangements like a training day and even CR classes. But for now, let's keep things simple. Find a sanctioning body to supply the insurance and equipment. Split the antendees in half with experiences AutoXers in both halves. Have a morning heat. One group works while the other runs. Switch. Take a break to shoot the shit and have lunch Then an afternoon heat with both groups. Finally pack up, go over results, and go to a restaurant for late lunch/early dinner and a beer. And then afterwards we go home, post results on CR, and commence smack-talk and call-outs for the next event. The key here is Low Pressure.

Ron Paul will not get elected because his ideas will negatively impact too many wallets.

Lots of Boso, but a couple good cars. Bosozuko is a style out there.. I'm sure they're quite aware it's over the top. Which I think is the point. I bet it's a kind of over-rice where someone made a car to make fun of the ricers and it kind of took on a life of its own like an internet meme.

:lolguy: I thought they were going to be using paintball guns. Something about those three and real guns is rather... scary.

If it's got to be one of those three, the 240. Don't go Fail Wheel Drive. But honestly? They're all junk. If you've got a car now, save your cash and get something better later.

It is worth doing at least once. 45mph will never feel as fast. You're guaranteed to have fun. Even working a corner is fun as you get to stand on the course itself and watch the other cars dodging cones. Hell, this forum has the resources. CR could do a Pro-Solo format with a christmas tree and mirrored courses for that instant-gratification you get from drag racing.

I always recommend this movie. It's one of my favorites.
