Why are sti's not that fast?

[Spyrogyra]

When you have the crowd and a panel of judges awarding points for smoke it's no longer a sport, it's a car show. Might as well throw in a sound off, some hydraulics and a jello wrestling competition.

Solodex is focused on "technical driving skill" not style and smoke.

So 'chief'...I will always support Silvermike?

I say things objectively. I lime with Mike, so I know how the car runs.
I have driven STI's, I've seen many tuned,I've have friends with them, hence I know many of them pull timing on the np gas.

It's possible for an STI run very shitty...which again...was the whole point that Mike was asking. Not Civics are fast and STIs are slow...you guys like to twist things.

I always try to stick to the facts...why don't you add something constuctive, instead of 'chookin' all the time. I'm 3000 miles from home and just added that I myself have ran an STI's that didn't pull away as well as they should have, and that moreover, I know how Mike's car runs similar to the 500SEC.

Sometimes I wish some of you would play as bad in real life as you do on this forum...it would make things more interesting. Laughing

ahh boii the great tuner let me guess you tuned silvermikes civic rite


why mike never came and played with my stock subaru when he had the evo stock

but no worry build the beast i await

drifting is more than jus smoking tyres fellars.

drifting is more than jus smoking tyres fellars.

Unless its on the streets and hills of tokyo/cali/trini wherever...i dont see the point... its for show nothing more

[Sanctifier]

Oh Lord... Page 12! ... Ah was tryin' to stay out of dis thread...

D1 makes no sense to me

so i guess you dont support solodex then? cause D1 is an extreme dexterity sport just like solodex is a less extreme version of a similar nature.

an extreme dexterity sport... But don't they award points for driving with the door open?
... for sticking one foot outside too like Tarzan Yamada?? (spelling?)
... for the thickness & colour of the tyre smoke??... for who comes closest to the lead car???
... Basically for who can entertain the crowd the most???
More interested in improving my driving skill; not in just showing off to impress the natives!
Not really interested in being an entertainer. What's next singing and tap-dancing too?

Rhys Millen (et al) are great drivers in rallying and circuit racing... much better than me or you
... but risking car damage to get points for the one who's better at showing off more
... and gets the most applause... is an autosport???
Nahh, padna! That's just another form of entertainment for somebody else to make money!
... at my expense too! It's no different to Monster Truck Racing (... Racing ??)
Show off the most. Destroy your car if necessary to get applause, points... and TV ratings

Maybe if the judges stop prostituting it for public entertainment ... cut the crap and
focus on the driving skill ONLY... then maybe... but now???... Nahh!

That's all I have to say about this Drift thing

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

pffft - forget drifting, you should see figure 8 racing... on a flat track, that intersects!

and just to make it more exciting they have Figure 8 train racing - the trains are made up for three cars they trailer hitch together. Usually

read more:

I stumbled across something on SpeedTV today that has to be seen to be believed: figure-eight train racing. Not real trains — three cars lashed together to act like a train.

The first car is the only powered car. Usually something big, old, and American — mid seventies Monte Carlos seemed quite popular. The driver of this car steers and works the throttle. The car has no brakes.

Attached to the back of the first car by chains and a tow bar is the middle car, which has nothing. No engine, no brakes, no driver. Just an empty shell.

Attached to the back of that by chains is the caboose. No engine, no steering, but it has brakes and a driver. God help him.

Now, take eight of these perversions of automotive theory and put them on a figure eight track. Seriously. Then race them for 10 laps.

The race I watched ended with no hits in the crossover, which surprised me. What’s amazing is watching the caboose get whipped around like a rag doll. The rear driver is supposed to be able to put some tension on the train by using the brake, but I couldn’t see any difference. Any quick steering movement up front got wildly exaggerated by the time it rippled back to the rear and that guy was just along for the ride.

I wish I had a picture to show you, but a few minutes of Googling turned up nothing. Half of me thinks the whole thing was just a nightmare.

you really have to see it to believe it
