Every "nice BMW" comment I've received has been from people in nice BMWs.

Agreed. Watching him bomb around in Hondas makes me long for the space to build a K-series swapped EG.

I don't have draggy, but at my local strip I ran a best time of 12.64 @ 113.21. And that was an ideal launch, with a 1.84 60ft. I trapped 90.11 in the 8th. I think there is a bit of power cut between gear shifts to save the drive line. I'm not sure if it still happens when running in VSC...

Mechanically, they are LEGO transmissions. Programming wise, an HTG controller works with all variants.

Damn, those are good times. My 60ft time is slightly better (1.8344) but my 8th and quarter mile times are a half-second worse.

I was blown away with the improvement a proper alignment made to this car. I took mine to a shop dedicated to setting up race cars and told them I wanted some added stability in the rear under cornering.

I don't even notice it.

That's awesome. What did you use to design them? AutoCAD?

It's supposed to happen automatically, but I've tried it on a few uphill hairpins and didn't really feel anything.

What drew my friend to swapping his Skyline is seeing a ZF 8HP-swapped Mk4 Supra. Turns out, you can get kits to swap in a ZF 8HP into tons of German/JDM 90s cars, including Toyotas, Lexuses, Volvos, BMWs, and Nissans. There's even a kit to bolt an 8HP up to a Honda K24... If so many people...

We had an unusually warm winter this year though. Driving in sub-20° weather can cause the stock tires to crack.

13 seconds. Swapping tires caused the RS3's LL time to improve by 13 seconds. A similar improvement in lap times for the Supra would put it right on the heels of the 911 Turbo S. Tires make such a huge difference in performance. That's why I like that SG normalizes results by using the same...

Any idea when these are going to be available? They've been on back-order every time I've checked.

Lap times are a tool to compare the driving characteristics of similar cars. If a car like the Dark Horse has tons more power, stiff suspension, and tons more grip out of exceptionally sticky, super wide tires, yet it still gets its ass handed to it by a car that is lesser on paper, then that...

Your post is why I don't think manuals will be worth more in the future. Young people don't remember a time when automatics sucked. Even older people that grew up with manuals have out-grown the manual elitism. A friend of mine bought a PDK car, has now decided that all manuals are garbage...

They loved the car in 2020 when it came out. But if you watch that first video back to back with their follow-ups, the opinion shift is jarring. But their follow up reviews are pretty critical. Mark in particular criticizes the suspension setup non-stop. He's repeatedly said that the front...

SG and crew really don't like the Supra and seem to take every opportunity to knock it down a peg. I haven't watched this video, but in the previous Z vs Supra vs 86 they were talking about how the Z is fundamentally better, even if it doesn't perform as well, and all it needs is a complete...
