that car is landing; not lifting the rear wheels from the brakes

Based on this pic... I have to agree.

 

Oh yeah there we go. Now its not photoshopped, but they are jumping the cars instead. Hey maybe you're all wrong and he's not even moving. He's hitting the switches on the rear hydro's. After the race they did a 3 wheel motion through victory lane. Nowadays I guess you have to have a video or else everyone will second guess whats going on. If you look at the car, it was built to demonstrate an aftermarket brake setup. The pic was taken by the people that run the track at an event with many different tests, from lap times, to braking distance, to timed acceleration. Because of this I feel faily certain that this pic was taken during a braking test, and not photoshopped since the people that took the pic have nothing to gain by photoshopping the pic since they are not associated with the people selling the braking parts. That other pic is a different part of the track (check out the backgrounds). Besides, the physics of a car jumping would make that first pic impossible. Look at the last pic of the car jumping there and tell me it would land like the pic I posted. Not gonna happen. Maybe someone who was actually there or caught it on video can prove me wrong. Until then, thats some pretty mean brakes (and tires) if you ask me.

 

HOLY CRAP YOUR WRONG!!!!

 

a car will never be able to do this because of the brakes especially a REAR engine car
The physics are what makes it impossible for the car to DO this!

 

but im gettin datsun brakes for my car

damn even on a wet street, those must be some pretty mean brakes(and tires)

 

lol, you're blunt.
Thanks for the picture.

 

ITS THE GTO!! :hail: :rockon: :rockon:

 

told yall it was photoshopped

 

Man who ever photoshopped this one is good. They even tilted the front wheels shoved them up inside of the fender and deformed the tire. Not to mention that they move the drive forward in the seat.

 

naw, that looks like it's landing, see the pic above with all 4 wheels in the air.

 

This is the first time I've seen CrazyHawaiian schooled since I've been here. Yikes!

85TransAm406, your avatar kicks ***! :yourock:

 

Yeah, the hard part was going that fast.....

 

The last pic you had there got me convinced too now. Sorry for doubting you. But I'm gonna be a baby and stick with my last idea. He's hittn the switches!!

zac --> <-- me

I got schooled before though, I think once on a hood post where someone was asking for pics of Harwood cowls and I posted my car but I dont even own a Harwood cowl (and didnt know it lol). I'm not always right, but I try.

 

And this? What is this driver doing?

 

He's probably wondering where the ground went.

Leaving the ground is the easy bit. Landing is more difficult however as the car bounces around.

 

I guarantee you that rally Focus has no problem taking those landings. I've seen it a couple times on the Speed Channel, and man does it haul ***.

CrazyHawaiian, in any case, your new mission is to get your car to do a stoppie (I guess that's what MrDude_1 meant by "stoppie"). Or maybe Monster Garage could do it. Hell, they made an ambulance do wheelies...

 

just put a whole bunch of tractor weights on the front of your pickup and you'll be doing stoppies like these guys

 

this looks like its doing a "stoppie"??

 

Oh g0d, not that car again.

 

bigals87z28: That car is so ugly that i want it!

 

Never said the car couldn't handle the landings. I said that they make it look easy when the car lands again. It's not as easy as it looks, especially on a rally track.

 

I want to see the condition of the person driving this gem!

 

he doesnt have a 3rdgen.. he has a 3.5 gen....... probly closer to 3.7 lol...

i'll ask him next time i see him
