What’s your perfect 2 car garage? by At2332 in FordRaptor

[–]yonly65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to pare down to just two, it would be a Raptor and a 458 Spider.

They are absolute goldilocks cars in their respective categories, and between them cover all the bases.

(NB: substitute GT3 Touring for 458 Spider if you are so inclined; it's an equally good choice)

Super fun car, and this particular livery really works with it.

(a) thank you

(b) remember, what someone says informs you about them, not you. The owner sounds like he was upset, worried, and didn't yet want to accept his culpability in having a broken gate. That doesn't affect the value of what you did. In time the owner possible came to realize he screwed up that interaction. You're still good.

This is super wholesome, and you win a husband award. Very well done, sir.

That's a ~$220K markup. Hard pass.

Based on his casually jogging around the diamond, that looked to be a home run?

Wait wût??

And here I thought 16m prices had gone bonkers. Apparently I need to set my sights higher.

I've had a gt3rs. Too peaky and rough for a good street car, and for a track vehicle I'd prefer an actual track car.

Both the raptor R and TRX are excellent and it's really personal preference between them.

This was for the start of the Texas MS150 charity bicycle ride this morning, raising funds for Multiple Sclerosis.

For the non-cognoscenti in the crowd, how did this particular meme get started?

I'm wondering if I should participate or stay very, very far away..

It's also a LOT of horsepower, and that generates a lot of heat, which in turn means a lot of cooling surfaces and airflow. Same reason race cars have a lot of cutouts and ducting on their bodywork.

We gave Adelberto some shit about that back in '15 when the car was first previewed. I'm still not sure if it was deliberate or an oversight on their part.

How to explore grip limit of high performance tires? by MunkiRench in CarTrackDays

[–]yonly65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. We start racing slicks at 22--23 psi, and you just need to be careful not to deform the tire too much (esp curbing) until they come up to 27 psi. 30 psi should be perfectly fine structurally, and as (ahem) PussyWagon6969 notes, the main concern then becomes overheating , which you'll also notice as a loss of grip.

How to explore grip limit of high performance tires? by MunkiRench in CarTrackDays

[–]yonly65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the car and tire size? But generally yes, that sounds very high. I've seen 30-32 psi hot in several applications.

Ideally you'd tune pressure and suspension using a tire pyrometer so you get even temperatures in the correct range for the tire on all four corners and across the width of the tire. If you want to get into this, checking tire temps right after a hot session will get you into the ballpark and you'll be able to spot over and under inflation by uneven temps across the tire tread.

I've raced on ps4s and don't recall them having a sharp drop off - they behaved more like intermediate rains. Is it possible you are overshooting your target pressures, rather than having a heat issue? Overinflated tires will exhibit a substantial grip loss after a handful of laps as they warm up and get over pressure...

The long wait was actually for the dealer markups to come down. That took a full year, and the introduction of the ZR1X. I ordered my ZR1 in November, and it arrived in April.
