Slower than an off-road truck because...
 
A dude in a lifted fat tire truck w/ "salt-life" skull decal went first on a straight line course with many rough spots.

The pavement changes on the course kept my speed down because it made my car very lose over them.
He could keep accelerating although bouncing some too.
Even braking was scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas.

Im in a new 2015 Sport w/ 32-33 PSI on stock summer tires.
So, unless a sway bar or something will help, he owns me on that course.

The road had some dips & repaved patches. As I quickly caught up to him, I had to back off at about 80 because my car was bouncing off the road! He could keep accelerating although bouncing some too.
Even the brakes were scary as the car felt super loose over rough areas.

so you're complaining why your sports car can't play well in a rally environment? why not just get the STI or lancer?

put him against you on the track and I can bet your song will change

Fixed your story.

You'll get banned for doing that on the street. If, say for example, it were a "Closed course with professional driver..." then ur good.

Perhaps you should care less about rednecks in manhood contests, and worry more about the peoples lives you put in danger by speeding down a backroad!
Perhaps children live and play on that backroad! Maybe someones family dog roams around that backroad! Maybe other drivers arent driving like idiots coming the other way down the backroad! If you want to race, go to a track.

DARWIN PLEASE HELP!

1. Not something I would share on a public forum, John ;)
2. Google Sprint Booster.
3. Drive safely or hit the track! :tup:

Really?!?!
1) Read forum rules.
2) ALL RACING IS DONE ON THE TRACK. PERIOD
3) I'd presume by your age you would know better, but obviously not.


All goes back to what I've said before.... Today's 'drivers' don't drive, they aim..:gtfo2:
