A good decision.

You can phone, drink, smoke and have SEX 2 or 4 times a day while reading the newspaper WHILE DRIVING at 150 m.p.h. and you make "changes" at least every week!!??!!
Your laws aren't as strict as they are here in Canada.

don't you read between the lines ?

must have been a viper in bad shape...

correct me if i'm wrong... our truck pulls near 1G in corners , a sportscar 1.2..1.3...1.4 ..1.5 ?
I'm realistic : : look at all the specs for a good race-car ....our truck is the opposite except the strong engine ...
I accept he's made for the straights and won't crash him trying to prove something in cornering.... :rock:

Only a hand full of sports cars pull over 1.0 G in the skidpad.

If I remember right, out truck is in the .70 to .80 range. Wrong, just checked and Car and Driver measured it at .83 G. For comparison, the Viper that year had a 1.00 G rating.

are those G's on the skidpadtest linear with the speed ? I mean can a viper take that curve 1:0.83 = 1.2 times quicker ? :dontknow:

Cornering G force = speed (mph) squared / corner radius (ft) / 14.957


a formula 1 gets 4 to 6 G cornering...
5 G braking, 2G accelerating....
