Remember the cars don't make the driver. The driver makes the car.
What class do you want to run?Quote:

STX/STU any turbo cheater car. Not running stock boost.
You're just mad because your newest toy has half the torque and half the drive wheels, but still weighs more than a boost buggy. Must be all those underbody panels... ::Bleh::Quote:

AND... an almost stock NC was only .2 seconds slower than an Elise! :punchout: :clap:Quote:

Blah Blah, I'm sure I could have run that time clean in the afternoon. It would've been 1.2+ Plus that might have been the most un-ideal course for that car.Quote:

Wow altiain, imagine what he'd be saying if his car was not repaired. :rolleyes:
No excuse -- the course was not ideal for any car, so we all had the same handicaps.Quote:

How much damage did you cause CosmosMpower when the battery broke loose and "modified" the rear end of your Lotus while AXing?? ::2Dollar:Quote:

That makes 0 sense. Just because the course is the same for everyone doesn't mean it's not more ideal for some cars and less for others. Ever heard the term "course dependent"? I was stuck at the top of 1st and would be in the 3000 rpm range in 2nd where as some cars were at the 4,500+ RPM range in 2nd or had 400 ft lbs of torque. I also had the steering rack at full lock and could barely make it around some of the tight pivots.Quote:
