I'm guessing you've never tracked anything. All cars can be made to do that if you drive them incorrectly.
AFAIK, it does have ABS. Still, full braking (if that's what happened) will not allow anywhere near full turning ability no matter what. ABS...
Yeah, ok. Still, the OEM profit margins on wheels are probably higher than almost any other part of the car.
Are those motorcycle wheels durable over long time periods? From what I understand, CF components tend to degrade over time. Will a CF wheel...
Why should I price F430 rims? Don't compare an aftermarket price to an OEM. You can buy metal replacement rims that will work on any car for much...
More like 60 lb. Your derivation only applies if all of the mass is concentrated at the rim. That doesn't seem worth the cost. I'm also not...
It looks like he panicked and slammed on the brakes while trying to turn.
Corvettes have actually been "front mid-engined" since 1963. Plenty of them have even had a slightly rear-biased weight distribution (depending on...
I'll check out the Cobra. I've only driven Mustang GT's before. They're fun, but I much preferred the GTO. The XJR is an interesting choice,...
Such as? I'm seriously considering one for my next car. Yes, it looks dull and perhaps immature with the hood scoops. But it is a lot of fun....
I was exaggerating a little, but to each their own of course. I certainly agree that Lambos are usually very in-your-face.
Of course not. I meant that the Lambos were effectively invisible next to the SLR. Corollas are invisible next to just about anything. It was just...
To me, an SL or SLK could never be mistaken for an SLR. I also disagree that Lambos look so much more special. I actually first saw an SLR at an...
Bikes don't have nearly the same acceleration advantage at high speeds. The result would probably be similar even in ideal conditions.
FYI 50/50 weight distributions are nothing new. You could get that even in the 60's (and probably long before too).
That's why you build prototypes, test those, and then figure out how to reliably reproduce the resulting design. This seems like a ridiculous...
For the most part, anniversary edition Corvettes aren't worth any more than regular ones. Even Corvette people don't really care.
Definately an Enzo.
Interesting. Some searching brings up articles that this was supposed to be used in 2003+ Ford trucks. But that apparently hasn't happened, and I...
I have no trouble believing that Ferrari would be stubborn in their road cars, and that probably explains the original topic of this thread. But...
