Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I am not familiar with the at all.

I've been watching 'em for a while now. They're just reaching market now.

They're fucking beasts. They're pretty sexy, too. They're drop dead sexy.

They're loaded with tech. They have to use special hardware (and software) in the suspension because it is capable of so much downforce that maxing it out could blow the tires...

They need to find a way to build better tires!

I guess it's capable of a downforce totaling 3.5g.

To explain (dunno what you know about g forces, but 1g is the approximate force you feel from the Earth's gravity).

So, something with a mass of 150kg would have a mass of 450kg when subjected to 3.5g worth of downforce.

Also, 3.5g is insane. That's the kinda stuff fighter pilots deal with. You start having issues moving the blood around your body at about 9g.

The wreck that I went through had forces probably close to 110g, give or take. But, those were brief and slowed the car down to a final force of somewhere around 45g. (Assuming I've done my estimates correctly, and I'm pretty confident that I did...)

Anyhow, your head weighs 20 pounds. At 3.5g, it'd feel like it weighed 70 pounds. Add 10 pounds for your helmet, and you're at 105 pounds. (And you'd be an idiot to not wear a helmet at the speeds this would require...)
