I know...is that tires? Lowly Miatas are doing 1:30.
- Apoc - 08-28-2006
I did a 1:29 in my NA 944 yesterday.
I'm guessing it's mostly tires with a spinkling of suspension in there.

I'd say tires have come a long way. I loved in the video how they were saying "50 profile tires" like that means anything.
- Apoc - 08-28-2006
What do you mean? It's the like saying a tire is 225/50 with the 50 being the aspect ratio (sidewall height/profile).

Except they left out the 225 part.

that video is awesome... i really want a starion.
- Evan - 08-28-2006
that video kicks ass.
FWIW, when my "lowly miata" was stock on street tires I ran 34s and 35s, although im sure street tire grip has improved leaps and bounds since then.
The track also looked a little bit narrower back then

- Apoc - 08-28-2006
Pretty sure he created it... so... since day 1 like 25 years ago?

It says "Daytona CS" at the beginning...unfortunately it is saying it is only "Flirting with the sporting life"

It's the box flares. They titillate your mansense.

Outside of seeing old summit, that vid was booooring. Old TopGear is like that too then again, current Motorweek is booooing too.
