seems that peek power is set to 8948rpm, and that the limiter kicks in at 9200 (ish) meaning that it seems changing up at the 4th light is best. hmm not much of a gap between peak power and the limiter though? seems the same deal on the fox now.


Edited to add: ive just tryed to read the rev's and it seems 9000rpm is 4/5 lights but 8900 is 2 so not sure anymore. gonna stick with shifting at 2/3

no by compressing propane all your doing is raising the boiling point, same with water, lower the pressure the easier it boils, think we've gone alittle off topic here

Quote from JTbo :

But there is liquid gas, but it is called propane and they sell lot of propane accessories there too

It is actually quite nice that there are different kind of english, as language itself has not much words that mean several things, you can have bit of fun with us/uk differences

but were not talking about propane. so my statment stands

you dont need a speedo in rl because you can feel or sense the speed. somthing that cannot be created in LFS

yes but you call a liquid (petrol) : gas, it dont make sense

Quote from ajp71 :

Automatics aren't the way forward, you completely remove any attachment of skill from driving. Whilst drivers in California away from the big cities seemed far more courteous nobody, even truck drivers, seemed to be able to just stick in a lane without wandering all over the place. On one taxi ride had the guy just happily drove along the cats eyes between lanes without even noticing he was doing it. Whilst drivers were generally polite and tried to be sensible their judgment was appalling, everytime there was a car on the hard shoulder the trucks would all just move into the middle lane without check to see if it was clear. The funniest bit was watching people trying to park, they just couldn't we found it hilarious that we were the only car that had backed into a space in the entire Walmart car park and even funnier was peoples insistence on parallel parking (really badly and slowly) when there was a massive gap they could just have driven straight into.

The UK has a bit of a road rage problem but I'd far rather occasionally getting pissed of by arrogant drivers (the worst offenders seem to be in big automatic cars now anyway) who whilst they're annoying don't kill people the same way that clueless people do behind the wheel.

sorry to tell you this but automatics will be the way forward. at some point in the future the petrol engine will be gone and it will be hydrogen fuel cell (or some other fancy source of power) and it will be more like driving a golf buggy than a car

6.50 into that video you can clearly see the engine

thats 5th gear for ya, absolute crap.

just wondered if anybody from the us could tell me how much fuel cost over there compared to here in the uk?

mclaren F1 is full of pointless junk when you compare it with a F40 .... no contest who cares about top speed (200mph will do) the f40 is a pure race car no extras, makes a mclaren look like a rolls royce. you cant say a veyron is a pointless car its just another motoring mile stone, ok it will never get raced in a gt series but then it was never made with that in mind, but that should'nt make it pointless

nothing impressive about a vette. just a simple car with a big engine? wow where do they get their ideas?

Quote from ajp71 :

4WD is a disadvantage in modern GT racing cars. So I'm a bit lost as to why it still exists?

well it makes big power road cars usable and safe, look at the veyron

used to have an impreza, and yes it did understeer a little

but it was a great car fast in all conditions never broke down held its money well to

my dad had a 307, and it was a great car much better than the 306, not even comparable. look good imo aswell

lol 306's and good handling ahhhh thats funny,

pugs have the worst gear linkages and always have, french cars seem to ride well (esp old citroens) but thats about it.

you can have a snooker Grand prix ....... wow what close racing, stop making yourself look stupid and go away:sadbanana

^^ top bunch of guys Duck, arrow, arco and dizman FTW!!!11!

my brothers 306 had a leak in the heater matrix and because it was a pain to get to we used rad weld worked a treat

please lock this thread

/lock

most cars now have some form of aid, launch control is nothing new but it is still a blisteringly fast car (even if it does help you) but its not like it will drive itself is it

you clearly dont understand what people are trying to tell you in plain english so i will try in a way you will understand.

WTF D4RfT IZ DA SUX0RRRZ!!!

Quote from =C.R= Boomshanka :

Racing isnt realy about goin fast its about winning

what a stupid comment, racing is about being the fastest. you can "win" any sport, golf isnt about going fast its about winning.

fact is drifting is not timed, or judged on how fast you finnish there in it is not racing its just a style contest.

abit like with horse's
theres horse racing and dressarge *spelling* get it?
