  1. Modifying a car to use a frame mounted APR wing would be a lot cheaper, but I'm guessing the customers want OEM parts and look?
  2. Trying to understand your statement. These cars were 30% away from kill? Holy shit
  3. Damn, that's exciting. Which of the cars is running the billet block? I assume you're continuing developing on the DCT to get it to hold more power?
  4. The cars you have out there are dogbox and no billet block? When can we expect to see DCT big power billet block cars?
  5. Yeah, actually I do, and trying to get soundstage from a IEM is like trying to get blood from a stone. Get a speaker setup if you want soundstage. All my favorite headphones aren't known for big soundstage. Bosozoku was started by motorcycle gangs but the style also carried to cars, of which they were influenced by group 5 race cars. https://www.crankandpiston.com/bosozoku-sty...-over-function/ As far as the diffusers go, wanna tell me why Ford and Aston have same looking diffusers on their top line GTE racecars?
  6. You realize that Bosozuko cars are a extreme mimicry of real Group 5 racecars? Splitters work. Big ass splitters work better. That combine harvester has a nice front diffuser. How fast can it go? Here's a few racecar diffusers https://photos.smugmug.com/Event-Coverage/S.../IMG_8514-L.jpg http://www.rssportscars.com/photos/news/as...ge-GTE-Tail.jpg https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.ama...mp;resize=480:* https://cdn.drivemag.net/media/default/0001...ault-large.jpeg http://speedhunters-wp-production.s3.amazo...30-1200x800.jpg It's a racecar, it's got racecar aero. Air doesn't care about what you think is pretty, unfortunately
  7. 488 boost by gear limitation? Sad. A MP4-12C probably could walk that 488
  8. The Senna GTR is madness. Love it!
  9. I prefer lots of my IEMs to my full size headphones. Personally I feel soundstage is overrated. There's a minimum acceptable level for me and then the rest is tuning, separation, impact, decay, isolation, etc. Have you listened to Campfire Audio Andromeda or 64Audio U16?
  10. There's lots of new players on the market now. Personally I like Campfire Audio and 64Audio
  11. What does that even mean? When one says eat it alive, it suggests in performance, not in subjective matters. Not sure if you've noticed McLaren's pedigree, but it's a lot more than Audi's/Gumpert's. When you say a lot more massive aero package, do you realize that it makes about 100 kg more downforce (but not active) with significantly more drag? And that it doesn't have fully active suspension like the Senna (hydraulically adjusted roll, heave, spring rate, ride height, etc)? Or a DCT? Or 580 ft lb of torque from 3500 rpm to 7000? And likely 100 hp less? And yes, buying a car with that much aero, speed is important.
  12. That bird's expression is like it accidentally landed on its own shit
  13. What makes you say that? Personally I really like that purple carbon and the Apollo IE chassis, but I think the styling is extremely overdone. Not a fan of those sharp edges on the fenders, the flower petal exhaust, the canard/front bumper design, or the rear wing (seriously, why is it not rectangular). Not as "ugly" as the Senna and sounds absolutely fantastic, but not sure how you're coming to the conclusion that this thing is any faster. I would be beyond surprised if it was, and that's at 3 times the price
  14. That is balling out of control. Love the Chiron, but wish it had the higher wing mounts of the Veyron.
  15. Just FYI, US market cars (and maybe some others), have a dual exhaust that doesn't have the silencer section. Looks weirder than the 3 tip version, but 5 kg lighter and louder
  16. For stating absolute facts. Hey what can I say, at least I can read properly. If you want to call someone out, make sure you don't get egg on your face
  17. Your ability to deduct from the wording is EXTREMELY lacking. The 918, Performante, and 720S are faster than it. Hell, I can show you the lap video of the 918. The extra statement is to regard cars in the 0-60 mph list such as the NSX, Camaro, GT3, GT3RS, F12, ThethetheFerrari, etc that weren't run at Big Willow and thus aren't on the laptime list. You think they friggin make up a laptime down to the hundredth and put it on their board? Dellusional ALSO, the ACR was lapped by Randy Probst at Laguna Seca, not Big Willow. The record setter for Willow Springs was C. Winkler... At least get your info right if you want to discuss lap times.
  18. Those other times have been done already. In fact, before the Ford GT. lap record was a manufacturer effort. Not apples to apples.
  19. Factory time vs sports auto time... If you don't know the difference, you haven't been in this game long
  20. On Trofeo R tires and a second back. That's a lot
  21. Can't wait to see the video of this lap. Insanity to be 2 seconds faster than the new Ford GT, faster than the 918, and quicker than a Performante, without even being the track version of this car. So much faster than a 675LT. laptimes
  22. Because Ether is out to take its blood and soul, aka flippening. Bitcoin has significantly limited utility compared to even other fund transfer coins. It's expensive, it takes fcuking forever, it's one of the primary coin pairs so as altcoins go up, Bitcoin goes down. I'm kinda salty that I have about 5 grand in Bitcoin. Could be used so much better in altcoins
  23. You're not really taking risks with only 3000 dollars invested. Hell, I could afford to lose that completely and not even blink an eye. I know people with debt that are going in 10k into crypto. Now that's risk
