f1 cars are powerful because they have one of the best weight to power ratios out of pretty much all cars... zero to 100 and back to zero in under 5 seconds, not to mention cornering speeds not seen by anything else..
don't quote me on this one, but off the top of me head i want to say about 3.5 g's in the turns.. i'll go look it up in a second though to see how close ( or far off) i was / am...
They share many traits with fighter pilots. The aerospace companies don't make the fast jets for us larger-framed sorts. cn
i've honestly never really thought about the need for a fighter pilot to be on the smaller side, but now that i do, makes perfect sense..
I'm less into the skidpad and more into the road courses, of which the Nürburgring is the current king. You can build a great skidpad car that loses it when the dynamics of S-turns and freaky lane changes are tossed into the mix. (And that is also where modding a muscle car won't do.) I can't give a rat's roasted rump about quarter miles personally. cn
I spent my adolescence bemoaning it. Now I know I'd'a failed on reflexes alone. Only the guys with real gunfighter reflexes get to pilot the serious speed (money). cn
there is actually a height limit set in place, I believe it's 6 foot or just barely over that. I may have posted part of this build as they were working on it, but here's it finished
oh, i'd love to fly one of them fighter jets, don't get me wrong, but my disdain for all things military kept me from really looking much into the subject tbh..
yeah, alex wurz was i think a hair over 6 foot, maybe 6 1 on a good day.. he only raced for a few short seasons, but is an animal at test driving..there is actually a height limit set in place, I believe it's 6 foot or just barely over that.

On this site, height matters.

lol i wanted to call your bluff a few posts ago but after this one i know your full of BS. you mustang is probably stock with a cold air intake on it so you think its fast. lets have some real car conversation here. you mustang is faster than any super car lol give me a break. anything you say from here on is meaningless.
that would be my guess. couldnt see a 6 foot f1 car lolhey swag, is that limit for fighter pilots that you're talking about?? lol, my bad, i had thought you had meant for f1 drivers, my bad, and my comment obviously reflects my confusion..
if you had the money you could always get you pilots license and buy a old fighter and fly that bitch hahaoh, i'd love to fly one of them fighter jets, don't get me wrong, but my disdain for all things military kept me from really looking much into the subject tbh..
and yeah, when i was maybe 17 or so, i was sort of into the 1320, but then i discovered f1 and haven't really looked back..
