Haha, I've experienced turbo cars, and it's not necessarily the turbo, but more how it's implemented and tuned with the chassis. I'll enjoy a car that perfectly balanced over anything that's just fast in a straight line, but everyone is different right? That and the fact of everyone i know with a boosted Z is always working on their car instead of driving it... :shakes head: |

Those are forumla cars, not street cars. Anyone with some sense would want their street car to be reasonably controllable. And Niki would be the first to let you know your car was sh-ite if the balance was off. Part of the driver skill is communicating to the engineers on how to improve the car. That's what I did with mine with my tuner. It's a part of the process of being a complete driver, not just being a hot-lapper. |

If your car is controllable to you that's what matters right? Just don't go making faulty comparisons between street cars and 80s era turbo F1 cars. (which was my point). The way the cars are engineered are wildly different, as well as their intended purposes. Also, there's really no need to play the "I'm older than you, so I know more" card here. Just because you've been around more doesn't mean I haven't done my homework researching and experiencing different things related to the subject matter. It's a useless qualifier that isn't constructive to the discussion. Anyway, good luck with your build. :hello: |
Now back to the regularly scheduled program. Having fun......

My dream car growing up was always a Dodge Viper because of how raw people made it out to drive. Not much fun in a car that is all balanced because it doesn’t require much driver input. That well balanced car can be driven well by any ole shmuck at a track without much skill. Slapping down an sub 10 second pass on asphalt is feeling I cannot explain. In my personal, physical experience, boosted vehicles are superbly more enjoyable. The thrill of trying to hook and book a boosted car, is greater than the thrill of driving any NA Z imo. There is a reason we have multiple types of tracks though, to each their own.

2 years ago. I had a chance to drive a track prepped 16 Viper ACR with a sequel tranny. :tup: Over 800 hp and torque. That car. It was either trying to kill you, or break lap records.

The deal isn't necessarily about driving a balanced car but more about the modern technology that limits the driver engagement, input and being connected to the car. Every person that wants to drive the car at its limit wants the best drivable car which also includes the drivers ability to handle that car at the limit. Most race cars handle like crap on the street because you can't get them fast enough for the suspension to work correctly and then the car will still be a handful because your driving to either the cars limit or your limit.
The bottom line is the Z is a drivers car. The nannies on it are for Sunday cruisers not for those that want more. The nannies limit the cars capabilities and will try and kill you if driven hard. Most all professionals and competent non proffesionals prefer a car with all the nannies turned off. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Still one of my favorite turbo videos. The commentary sucks but the car is awesome.
