CORE rally "test and tune" Trip: Nov 12th

[Bimmerman325i]

yeah I dunno man. I wasn't riding with you, all I noticed is that you got less sideways than me.

Many different variables in dirt. One being WAY more traction, so a more powerful motor/lighter car w/ rwd may take advantage of a less powerful motor/heavier car w/ awd.

But then again, awd will always have 10x more traction than rwd, so, like Ross said, bring it on! ;)

This can be bench raced all day, but moar sideways != moar faster around corner.

That said, how much do you think my Subaru weighs?

absolutely! more sideways does not equal more fast. however, that is the only thing I noticed is all I was saying.

I would guess your subie is right around 3000 lbs or so.

[Bimmerman325i]

Ya, fair enough.

right around 2850-2900 actually, so good guess.

how did you lighten it up? wikipedia gives it a 3100 lb curb weight.

[Bimmerman325i]

A) not an outback (2-300lbs heavier)

B) I tend to believe my car's owner manual over wikipedia.

Aside from coilovers I've done jack shit weight-wise, and coils only reduced it 5-10lbs/corner.

Bump for one week!!!

The weather should be pretty decent, and dry, which is good.

Clive has passed emissions. I'm excited to play in the dirt.
