Hey bro, maybe you should get an edumacation before you start popping off at the mouth.  What do I know? I'm just a dumbass from SC.


Last time I checked, 911's are rear engine.  That's apples and oranges.  And yes,  most porsches are squirrely as fuck under braking, including their race cars.  You completely missed the point though.  The more power a car has the longer the wheelbase needs to be to keep it planted.  That's why successful road course cars aren't the size of a smart car.

If YOU had any experience with different types of sports cars, especially those with more power, you would understand the reasoning.  It was stupid for you to go off on me without knowing anything about me.


Edit: a gt3rs doesn't make much more power than a mustang.  Let me spell it out for you.  Engine over rear wheels keeps rear end planted by increasing traction.  A front engine car with the same power would need to be longer to keep it from being tail happy.

You're so bad at making arguments it hurts.
Limo's arn't successful in road courses either are they?
To sayallcars are better at putting power down if their longer, is straight up false. Thanks for pointing it out yourself in the example of rear engine, or mid-rear cars.

Going off on you? i just said you arn't a a race engineer, was i wrong?

apparently you are.

lets look at all of the cars that are actually good on a track:

Aventador
ZR1
Viper ACR
Mclaren mp412c
LFA
can keep going.

but what do all of these cars have in common?

decent HP and long/wide wheelbase.

even porsches 918 that actually has an amazing track time has a long wheelbase.


the 911 gt2 has a a huge power to weight ratio, but it still has a worse time than the LFA( with almost 100 less hp per ton) and barely beats the GTR and ZR1 and still has a better power to weight ratio than both of them...

and all these cars would be better if they were 9 inches longer?

You are fucking retarded.  I'll explain why when i get home tonight.  Meanwhile try to figure it out yourself.  Its pretty obvious.
