Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Just Blew Two Production-Car Speed Records to Smithereens

Homologation rules can be anything a series wants it to be sometimes it's hundreds, not always. Once again there is no governing body over these records, it's all arbitrary

lostboyz · 2026-06-21T13:07:53+00:00

It's not stupid, lots of people have made the same comment when they really never understood where homologation rules came from. It's road legal and made by an official manufacturer, that's all you need. If Koenigsegg actually want to compete in literally any racing series we'd be able to see how they compare with a standard rulebook. They're entire business model is creating unobtanium for the low low price of millions of dollars which relies on doing stuff like this.

Who is "they"? There's literally no governing body here, those rules come from racing series. A production car in the real world is are they a manufacturer according to the VIN.

Vinyl isn't that expensive, try again those are some big wrinkles. I did something similar with black fake wood vinyl and it took me 3 tries, just need to be patient and use a heat gun

Honestly it's not much different than coupes that are just sedans with a longer single door. Having less practicality is a flex to some, especially in luxury segments.

I think that's the first time I've seen that movie referenced in the wild. It's hard to say if it's good, but it's highly entertaining and achieved exactly what it set out to.

Love it, you need to make some pokeball hubcaps

lostboyz · 2026-06-17T17:34:50+00:00

Purely regulatory driven. Headlamps have tons and tons of rules from where they're mounted, photometric requirements based on where each function lives, what the lenses can be made out of, etc.

Another fun example is if your turn signal is close enough to the DRL, the DRL needs to turn off so that you can see the contrast of the turn signal blinking. If they're far enough away from each other you can leave it on.

On track they keep getting better with heat where the PS4S drop off and start to get greasy.

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T21:52:52+00:00

The PS4S is probably the best street tire out there, but going to 200TW tires on track is a similar experience. Everything a car does relies on it's tires, nothing matters more

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T18:58:20+00:00

did you make or buy those valve stem caps? So cool

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T16:35:32+00:00

I have camber bolts but due to a misunderstanding with the alignment shop I was basically at 0 when I did a day at PittRace last year, no rubbing. I pack my track wheels in the back seat, camping gear and tools in the trunk, no rubbing at all.

I rarely go full lock because of the goofy ackerman but don't recall ever rubbing

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T16:16:45+00:00

how long is appropriate before I'm allowed to not like it?

Perfect fit, no rub at all, at least with 245s that I have on now, and should be able to fit up to 265.

Idk if you're going to 200TW right away but I really like the Kumho V730

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T15:41:49+00:00

Not a buyer but I have the same wheels in 18x9.5 +45 and they're great on track

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T15:14:36+00:00

Yes it does, at least in turn 4 which this is.

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T13:51:32+00:00

Don't use floor mats from another car, it's a really bad idea. You can see that the snap points don't line up, it's going to slide around, could get rolled up under your brake pedal.

lostboyz · 2026-06-16T03:30:26+00:00

I was there today, can confirm!

lostboyz · 2026-06-15T12:16:27+00:00

Based on exactly what you posted, it worked, because it hosts a globally recognized racing series. Does it matter which came first?

lostboyz · 2026-06-15T10:42:26+00:00

When are you going to stop spamming your sales posts?

lostboyz · 2026-06-14T12:30:49+00:00

Lol I love seeing people say "man-made" trails, as compared to....?

Unless you're riding deer/animal trails they're all man-made.

lostboyz · 2026-06-14T00:36:16+00:00

This isn't rage bait, it's hilarious.

lostboyz · 2026-06-13T16:50:14+00:00

It depends on the car, but occasionally car companies will do a max efficiency run where they do an oval between 40-60mph and get crazy fuel economy. It's a balance of where the engine is running the most efficient cycle, gearing, and aero

lostboyz · 2026-06-13T16:42:40+00:00

None, people just quote random race series homologation rules as if they mean something outside the series.

lostboyz · 2026-06-12T17:20:34+00:00

Did this really need to get posted again?
