its nascar drifting. I love it

[Ray Smoodiver]

My brother was telling me a story of how he was at an Infiniti dealership, and the sales lackey was telling his friend the car had a vicious LSD. Vicious! Maybe it had 80% lockup or something. That would be vicious.

Was it MikeK?

I'm pretty sure they are the most powerful race cars per ton of any other car. Other then dragsters of course.

[gazellebeigem3]

That is some stupid redneck shit right there.

funny, i thought the same thing when i saw the crapbox in your sig

[JGood]

Yes, 1/4 mile clay oval... Fun.

800hp in a 1200lb chassis, in the dirt. *Yawn*




I'm not saying it's fun to sit and watch them on your 13" TV. But you can't say you could do some laps in it without having fun. Just like you couldn't drive an 8 second car down a drag strip without having fun.

When you're an accomplished pro (bench) racer like Farbinistan, you can make these snap judgements with authority. :mrgreen:

Either that or he had a scarring experience as a teenager going to a dirt track race, and after drinking 5 Schlitz tallboys, ended up making out with his sister? :razz:

He probably moved back to Idaho just to fulfill that exact redneck dream.

No, I was hoping to elicit a reaction from Farbin Kaiber, a prominent member of r3vlimited.

Shitting my pants is fun? ;)

I'm here for the lulz

wow lack of sprint car knowledge in the thread

If he tracks it its not any oval track and if he dose its not driven like a normal sprint car, more then likely its only drag strip stuff

1: No good way to get the stagger right on the rear tires ( outside smaller than the inside tire)

2: no rake at all to the rear wing = Lift not down force = bad news

3: I assume it has a normal transmission in it, sprint cars are Direct drive with just a clutch and 2 speed rear end.

4: Sprint car engines are 700ish HP and run on Alcohol, so while that may be possibly in that car it would have to have a hell of a cooling system in it too keep it cool just siting in traffic

Thanks for your wealth of knowledge. Fortunately, I think we all know this is a custom built show car that only hits tracks for fun and show.

It's got a fucking back seat and a license plate (insurance, state inspection, registration...). Come on...

But I do like how you noticed the stagger of the tires but didn't notice the fact that they are all season street tires.

[mrsleeve]

No I noticed that they were all seasons, I said that it would be hard to get the proper stagger mostly because of the fucking fenders

And Yes I get the fact that its a show car dammit, just pointing out that its prolly not gonna be seen on any dirt track near you
