So if I'm approaching an intersection at 40mph, and the light turns yellow when I'm 6 inches before the stop line, I'm supposed to stop in those 6 inches?

While it is true that the slip angle is nonzero for maximizing grip in a corner, this is not in fact sliding. In real racing, for the most part, cornering without sliding is desired, and I would be...

N works on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands actually - 2.4 tends to have slightly better range, but 5 has less interference typically (since there are a lot more older routers on 2.4 than new ones on...

When you say your car was doing drifts, what exactly do you mean? You said you had no idea your car was skidding, which makes me wonder if it was actually drifting at all...

Or, alternatively, you get a C2S or a GT3, because they're lighter, better to drive, and the sound and the throttle response is superior on a naturally aspirated engine.

The 981 is almost identical in all external dimensions to the 987, and the wheelbase is only 2 inches longer. It's not at all a big car.

So you put 5 guys and all their stuff into/onto a small SUV/crossover with a 150ish horsepower engine, and you're complaining that it was packed and you had to use 3rd gear a bunch?

I personally wouldn't go up to 6k until the engine had already warmed up a bit. 6k as your first shift point of the day sounds a bit too high.

Well, if it's a 2L NA, it won't make 170ft-lb. More like 130-145, depending on how aggressively they tune it and the design goals. That having been said, 130-145ft-lb could be perfectly fine, given...

Anyone heading down to Pueblo Motorsports Park on Friday (9/26)?

If the weather is good, I'm thinking of heading down, and it's 2 for 1 ($75 for a full day of open lapping as long as there's at least one other person there).

Sure, but wasn't that the case with the last gen V6 Mustang with the performance pack too? I seem to remember it was quite a bit faster around a road course than the FR-S.
