Did you guys read the article? He doesnāt work directly for Amazon. He works for a logistic company who happens to deliver a lot of Amazon packages. His company should be doing more for him in the health and cleanliness department. Could amazon help the delivery services more, Iām sure they can...
depends on the car. Winter conditions and no adjustments (like this video) most of the time human can beat Lc. But warm sticky tires and a good LC is harder to beat then you might think. Model and variables can matter a lot. For instance on turbo cars, LC typically allows you to build boost...
You can use Launch control on the streets but you need to dial it in right. On the street you really need to lower tire pressure and get a good amount of heat in the tires for good results. When I had my Z06 with launch control I was constantly able to get 0-60 of 3.2-3.4 not including rollout...
First Iāll say wow, bass GT500 is impressive. But thatās what a 260hp advantage does at a track like VIR! I would doubt thereās a faster sub 550 hp car may not even be one at 600. I wish they wouldāve done it at Laguna where we have a very complete list of cars/times Randy has driven. Iām sure...
i was going to say they had no problem figuring out how to dial in the PDK (even more so) for Porsche. Itāll probably take sometime and learning curve as itās the first major DCT for an American manufacturer but theyāll get it figured out.
another Good example ā16 350R ran a 1:36.11 at Laguna Seca, now I couldnāt find a ā16 350 but Maybe someone else has it or knows? They made some tweaks to areo and suspension and added SC2 tires and the ā19 350 ran a 1:36.83!! Now obviously there complete tuning for the added grip helped but...
Youāre right, they are not totally linear nor did I ever say that. However we arenāt comparing different vehicles here with different characteristics, we are simply comparing tires. And thereās a much closer relationship there. For example the 1LE at the ring is 13.6 seconds faster on the 12.9...
I honestly donāt think people here understand that when you get to these crazy amounts of power how the increase grip from one tire such as the 4S makes so much of a difference when you go to an R compound. That R compound Allows for much later breaking, more lateral G and speed through corners...
Totally agree with you. On this track the wing and areo definitely have an impact, but I think the tires could have shaved 3-4 seconds off the base car lap.
good question, I was wondering the same thing. Iād love to see him have the SC2 tires on the base. I bet thatād cut the difference to like 1.5-2 sec
I am hoping they did multiple car testing at VIR and weāll get the results. They just tested the C8 there as well.
Congrats. Love the color combo, thatās exactly what my Z06 was. If I order a 500 Iāll be going with the combo and black roof. Canāt wait for your first drive review!
Oh just wait. You may see it as no fluids, but itās basically a big appliance. Wait tell electronic/electrical repairs are necessary. Not to mention updates. Teslaās are not error free.
My advice would be really Learn the car and learn how to roll into the throttle as you get more comfortable youāll really know how quickly you can roll into WOT. Also I think with this being a DCT you guys well be pleasantly surprised with LC. With a TC auto LC is basically the same as brake...
Iām right here with ya. Iām not an any way saying the 500 wonāt be fast, I do believe itāll be slightly faster than the ZL1, but to believe itās going to be faster than an ACR, ZR1, etc based on a guy stop watching a YouTube video is tough! Letās see when MT and randy drive it. Iām sure thatās...
When was this video taken? Iām sure this was done back in winter/early spring to be ready for the season. You donāt do it in the middle of busy summer time. Either way widening the track could save seconds. How do you know itās narrower?
Thatās fast no doubt if a legit time. This time based on rumor or youtube video review? Also according to grattans site it was recently repaved and widened. So I would take this with a grain of salt. Letās wait to see what randy does at LS and see how it compares.
I agree with you that the dealer has the right to ask whatever they want but isnāt that an unfair assessment of potential buyers if they arenāt willing to pay Adm and then say well they never wanted a 500 anyways! I believe a lot of guys here are willing to pay MSRP for the 500 but arenāt going...
