might want to clean up your post. the US atom 3 comes with a 2.0L 4 banger Ecotec. most of the info you've posted is for the not yet available atom 500. 3 of my buddies have atom's (240HP). even at the lesser HP they are a total blast to drive. i definitely suggest driving school before...

i'm racing next 2 weekends! :driving:

pics!

got the packet signup packet came out a couple of days ago. here's what it says for the open track session: OPEN TRACK GROUP ONLY LICENSE: A racing license is not required, however drivers must present evidence of experience in the form of one of the following: 1). A current competition...

i'm a big fan of ATC these days (aluminumtrailer.com). they have a great application you download to configure a trailer. former Pace guys, one of the best in the business. much better than featherlite if you ask me. very few ATC dealers west of the rockies though. trailex is bolted...

AGREED!! :cheers

had a 996 GT2 for a week. didn't like it. the new ones can't change what i didn't like the most -- the heavy rear end. fantastic when you learn how to drive it correctly but even on the streets i am not a fan. if i were to get another, i'd get a cayman and build the engine. the cayman is...

yeah, i would love to get an NSX but they still command too much $$$!

^ on a serious note, while the pedals are not adjustable, you will probably find that adjusting the seating position will help a lot. my normal cruising position is too far away from the controls to be consistent/precise.

no, but i use the dr. scholl's pads to help with heal-toe. the pedals are not adjustable AFAIK. i do find that just driving the FGT helps with heal-toe and even heal-body. it's just so refreshing. What Jeff said. It's not something that you gauge by the numbers, you do it by visual input...

totally impractical as a learning aid, as he has obviously had his ankle joint surgically replaced with some kind of spherical monoball! if you want to be utterly amazed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGIiarIrUCI

dang, i missed it! i went to the maker faire instead. (which was also fun.)

how does vinyl wrap compare to clear bra for removability?

I received this email this morning from "Sunoco Race Fuel Tech" (srftech@sunocoinc.com, the technical contact listed on Sunoco's website):

I reviewed [parts of] that textbook (great text, BTW) and didn't find anything linking octane rating to rate of combustion. in fact, the opposite. section 9-12 talks about a high combustion rate causing an apparent knock (and thus decrease in octane rating) using "the standard...

:) sorry, i didn't realize i hadn't responded some other time. octane is a measurement of resistance to pre-ignition, not a measurement of rate of flame front propagation. seem like independent properties to me. i will review the text you cited (and BlackICE's reference) and reply.

I don't see how that follows. Just found this: http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Miscellaneous/FuelAdditives.htm

advanced drivers only flyer says advanced drivers only, furthermore "race license required". no problem for me but even if they don't actually require the license it might be enough to scare off the novices. i'd suggest that given the economic conditions they would back down a bit but it's...

even for folks that don't bring their car, it is sounding like it will be great event just to go and watch.

I spoke to Richard today about it. There are supposedly 5 groups (wow), 4 race groups and 1 street car group. 3 sessions per day, 20m 20m 25m. All the groups aren't committed yet ... so who knows what will happen. I'm going. I might run my formula car in one of the race groups (even for...
