That Focus is Urrrrrrgh.

That Focus looks good.

when i look at that rice for some reason i am reminded of uncle bens. and ohh my god that vw golf with the jetta head lights is orgasmic. and the reason for the one door shaved and not the other is so he can still have a clean look and still go out onto the track, and the mirror being deleted serves earo dynamic and cleanyness purposes

 

[GT Pro]

You do not put an air-scoop on a near engine-stock Focus.
His knowledge of what TO DO and what NOT TO DO is dismal.

So, shaving both door handles makes a car ineligible for track racing? If you want to race it, why not leave both handles on? And NOT look like an ass.

Schweet!

All garishly and horribly overdone. idiots.

that green Eclipse has an overweight ass.

dont ask me do i own it???? clearly not, but a lot of people who build a car to occassionally go on a track do that, and by law you only need one side veiw mirror, if i had a golf id get rid of it to.

 

[Jim Prower]

I wouldn't. I need that mirror.

That Golf's not going fast enough to make any real difference anyway. He's basically reduced utility wihtout gaining anything.

Yum, Dacia.

That was awesome.

Replace the wing with a smaller less ricy one, take all the stickers off and depending on what the front looks like I don't think it would look that bad.

It still suffers, however, from being a Cavalier, similar to how the one above it suffers from being a Cobalt.

And that was before he added all of that crap to it.

It appears that the owner is too stupid to realise that the Firebird is the one with Flip-ups.

 

[Jim Prower]

no, actually, as long as those scoops work, I like it. I think they look a little better!

oh dear

$79,000 for a wanna-be Carrera GT? That's not even a poor man's C. GT.

Hell, you could buy a Viper GTS or brand new Z06 and get better performance by a mile.

 

[Tornado]

Even better, you can buy kits for the ZZW30 MR2 for 10 grand that do the same thing, but only costs 30 grand total and could actually fool someone. Than you can spend the extra money on a Viper GTS.

They're both Cavaliers. The last generation Cavalier looked very similar to the Cobalt, in other words, it looked like the car in the picture.

Is it odd that I like every single car in the last 3 pages?

Exactly what I'm sayin. There's a reason why each of them had their own ram air hoods.

Actually, it has to be said that wing mirrors do kill you for speed.

Prolonged arguments on another forum referred to the Rover 220 Coupe as being able to do 150mph. Even in raw, factory fresh form, the power and aerodynamics meant it just couldn't do it - it was close, but not quite there (I calculated 146mph) - but the fanboys kept claiming that a factory standard Rover 220 Coupe had been clocked at 150mph.

It turned out that the Rover 220 Coupe in question was mechanically factory standard, but they'd taped up a few panel gaps and removed the wing mirrors. Taking the size of the 220 wing mirrors into account and removing them from the calculation ramped the aero speed up to 154mph


So you'd be surprised at just what effect wing mirrors can have. But they're compulsory on the track (and in the UK you must have at least the driver's side wingmirror and any one other mirror - so you can knock the passenger side one off and get 4mph extra... ).

 

[Diego440]

wow... and that's all in Wikipedia? 'tis amazing the amount of info you can find there

 

[Famine]

As far as I'm aware, none of it is. Though I can't access Wikipedia from work as, with it being a county-wide school IP address, and schoolkids having a propensity for Wikivandalism...

 

[Diego440]

so you just walk around calculating random things, like max speed reachable through aerodynamics in random cars?

alrighty.

it is true though,in the late 80's the top astra at the time (gsi i think not too sure) was said to do 127mph,but it only would if you took off the mudflaps with those on it only did 123

Missed the first paragraph?

I didn't "randomly" do anything. It arose from a discussion (which became an argument) on another site.

All you need is the vehicle's frontal area, drag coefficient and weight. Plug the speed in and you get the power required (at wheel) out.

The wingmirrors are easy to measure - take their value off the frontal area (you can take their weight off if you feel like it, but weight is such a minimal factor), plug the speed in again and you get the power required (at wheel) out again. This time it's lower.
