      I've only really ridden with smooth drivers at autox. If they are smooth, they're usually not scary. Some of the fast cars there are really entertainingly fast though. You don't get how high the limits of some of these cars are until you ride in them. The mustang I codrive has crazy power but the SM Evos are even more outrageous.

      I don't think I have, but I've seen enough video :p I took a few laps around t-hill with austin in his coxster at 10/10ths, that shit was intense.

      you should drive the m3 around, it's fun

        Aww yiss

        I think yours is right, mine was a 40 flatish.... Tied with my best official run in the mustang (though I pulled a 39.2 out of my ass in that car later) frankly I was quite impressed with the car man, e30s make great autocrossers. The only problem is that e36s make better ones, lol.

        Next time maybe see if you can put the gopro more forward so you can see steering inputs, and angle down more to see less sky and more car. It's sweet seeing those power lines going over the lot in the beginning though, never noticed those before

          I don't know, if I gauge the driver is skilled usually I'll just trust them and giggle like an idiot for most of the ride. But yeah that car is pretty damn quick, and so is he.

          Keys! I wanted to drive it at the party but beer.

            riding along with someone in a faster, grippier car than you've ever been in quickly puts you in new territory. I should drive more fast things. working on it..

            I'm fucked for time for like the next month and a half, but maybe we can take a saturday morning and tool around the outer peninsula some day.

              I can drive fast, I just put the pedal on the right all the way down and turn the wheel when there is a curve in the road

                  Yup, sitting in an autonomous racecar nailing the line is terrifyingly awesome. Especially when you're the one who just changed the braking code.

                      So I just noticed that my IS lip is gone. The weird thing is that all the clips are still intact and I never heard it come off. I kinda think someone stole it.

                            Hey do you guys know what happens if the wrong diff fluid gets used? I had my car at a my friends shop to get my coolant pressure tested and he offered to change it but not quite sure the exact type that was used, i think its supposed to be 75 40 regular gear oil, i think they put in some type of synthetic oil which is BAD! i drove about 60miles already hopefully didn't do any serious damage.
