Luis_GT 02-27-2014 07:18 PM

I'm really curious about their claim of "Tested to provide the car with better driving stability at higher speeds".

Compared to what? How does it do that? Where's the data? Splitting hairs I realize, and maybe it's marketing hype, but if for some reason their other model created instability at track day speeds (>100mph), I'd just as soon replace it.

Good seller, though. Their site says it's sold out.

DANG, @torqdork, you're a "tough customer" ...... ;)

This concept has been found to be solid for well over 100 years now ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/sigh.gif

Yes, in aircraft with no yaw control otherwise. We have tires and suspensions for that purpose.

Not tough customer, a skeptic. :lol:

It's strange that the claim was never made for the Beat-Sonic antenna on my roof now.

http://www.beatsonicusa.com/fda43-j8...p6qo9b2bih0rd1

It must be something special for them to make the improved stability claim, especially when they went to the expense and trouble to have tested and measured something. I wonder if that's part of their approved patent? Pretty impressive...I guess. :)

Well, now ol torqdork ...... hmmmm

I got it .... the ad states: "Tested to provide the car with better driving stability at higher speeds".

It doesn't say it provides better stability .... just that it was tested for that. Nor does it say that it was manufactured to do so .... :eyebulge:

But wait, maybe the secret is in that little upswept part of the side design .... acts like a spoiler ..... can't beat that.

Since your car and mine has the old style, when we get above 160 mph, our cars are going to become very unstable .... :popcorn:

humfrz

hey lemmie alone ..... I've been watching sponge bob cartoons with my sick 5 year old granddaughter all day ...... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/woot.gif

torqdork 02-28-2014 10:58 AM

You're a good Grandpa! Hope she feels better and you don't catch her crud.

BTW, I heard that the next gen Beat-Sonic was tested to provide the car with the effect of an additional 10 hp at certain speeds. Mine does that now...visually when stopped. ;-}

Y thank ya, torqdork ..... hopefully, I have avoided the "pink eye" that the older one had the first part of the week and "whatever" the youngest had the second part of this week. It looks (so far) like I have the day off today and the sun is trying to shine ..... so, it will be terrorizing the back-roads of the county in my FR-S this afternoon ..... :burnrubber:

Oh yes, I also heard that the next generation Beat-Sonic will have a "shark skin" type of texture (like they tried to use on the racers uniforms during the Olympics) modeled after the streamlined texture of actual shark skins ..... :iono: ..... so, yes, 10 HP would be conservative......;)

OK, @eddieEndo, I had to look up "-_-" and the urban dictionary told me it meant "emoticon symboilizing a sigh, usually a sigh of disgust".

Is that your understanding ..??

If so, I apologized once (in another thread, in which you commented) and I'll say again ..... I'm sorry for stepping on your thread.

Now, do we have an understanding ...... or not .. ??

Please reply in English ...... I don't understand sign language too well .... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/wink.gif

If I'm ever driving and high speeds and I feel a bit unstable :burnrubber: I'm gonna blame my FDA43 sharkfin.

I'm in the same boat... I'm just a cheapass when it comes to buying parts like this. I decided if I order this, I'm ordering toms tails too... Or if I order toms tails, I'm ordering this aswell lol...

I installed mine today! Looks great! Best looking shark fin IMO.

Not really feeling the little black on the bottom, but it looks sick. Probably won't notice it when i get it for my ultramarine.
