Nothing is going to help your acceleration you fool. Doritos have a hard time pushing our car no matter how balanced it is.

 

Poking the wookie Brian is...

 

Has nothing to do with balance lol. It's diameter. A smaller wheel rotates faster than a bigger wheel. Less mass. Brian can explain better.

 

And I said it would help with acceleration lol not making it faster. Although in theory it should..

 

Im just sayin a couple grams of corn is going to have a hard time accelerating 3000 lbs no matter how big your wheels and tires are.

 

Mine isn't 3000 lbs :laugh: I don't have ur silly leather navigation traction control seat warmers fog lights I'm almost 200 lbs lighter stock

 

Until your scrawny butt gets in it. :P

 

Which I'd have to do in a fully loaded gt too our cars are plenty fast. Torque is more important just off the line and when pulling stuff. The only time our low torque comes into play is the first 5k revs in 1st gear. After that we stay up top in the rpms. No lack of torque or power there. My wheels were breaking loose plenty on Sunday even low rpms in 2nd gear coming out of hairpins. More torque would just break em loose quicker lol. We can carry more speed through a corner than ur typical 400 HP musclecar/pig so we need less torque/HP to get the same if not better result. Granted a well handling 400 HP car would kick our *** but try to find one for the money of an 8 besides evo's and sti's I don't think there are many and they have 300 stock. Just remember if the 8 had the 16x or a Turbo 13b it would have cost 50-60 grand. Priced more like the rx-7 in today's economy prices. We get a ton of quality for really not much money. Just look at your interior and then step into a Ford

 

You need to go back to school and take a physics class and study up on rotating mass.

Plus with changing the overall diameter of the wheel+tire combination you are in a sense changing the gearing, and depending on which way you change the diameter will directly effect your acceleration.

I know there has to be an article on it somewhere on the internet, I'm surprised you haven't found it yet. I'm guessing you haven't because it contains useful information and not dribble.

 

...it was a damned joke...one about how cool ranch doritos make us accelerate slow. Hence the whole statement about how something weighing a couple grams has a hard time pushing a 3000lbs car. Yes...I do understand that lighter and smaller wheels will slightly alter acceleration because of the "ease" of moving a smaller rotating mass. If you need every last ounce of power out of your car...sure...go sneak some 17's on there...but in the big picture of things does it really matter all that much? You might knock a tenth of a second off per run...but when you're seconds off the pace...who cares.

 

Oh Brian...I read you have a dead battery...and since I can only regurgitate what I read on the internet...

 

1). Over night
2). 2005
3). No, it is 1 month old
4). Not huge but definitely more than a handfull
5). Check the wives/girlfriends with rx8's thread in the gallery

 

Oh, and if you were really good at regurgitating what you read on the Internet you would have known the battery in my car was 1 month old. Apparently you can't even do that right.

This is fun.

 

Ah see but this is where it gets fun the tires on those 17's will knock seconds of my time. At least it did for Steve so I'm imagining it will for me too. And all of a sudden that tenth matters. And don't forget it's not just at launch you gain a tenth. Every time you come out a corner you accelerate quicker so if you do that 10 times per run all of a sudden you have a second

 

Me too! Me too!
1). Battery is fine
2). 2007
3). Probably stock one.
4). Each one is two hands and a mouthful
5). I'd get knocked the **** out if I did lmao!

 

Getting popcorn...as Brian readys his treatise on the advantages of weight reduction in relation to unsprung rotational mass.

Follow-up will involve an explanation of the shape and area of a tire's actual contact patch in juxtaposition to the physical dynamics of rubber compounds as it all applies to acceleration, deceleration and lateral grip.

Popcorn....Yummy!!!

 

Stranger!

 

I knew that along with the approximate size and shape of your woman's ***** and the fact that I could find pictures of her in the Hot gf's thread and on her facebooks. But I have to regurgitate everything I read...not just part...because part might lead to an answer I am unprepared for answering according to you. Eye iz weee tahd...durrrrrrrrrrr

 

I would have said TROLL, but whatever. =)

 

Oh ****, it's Ted. Hahah. I got your call, but I'm stupid busy right now at work. I'll give you airing when I get out of here.

 

How many RX-8's are in this area? I've seen four this year. 2 black ones, red, and blue all in the lakecounty/geauga area. 5 including mine.

 

At a meet last year we had a table for 30...so I want to say somewhere between 15 and 20 8's for Cleveland/Akron/Canton/Youngstown

 

And some of us sneak back into the forum and the northern ohio area from time to time.

 

Hey Josh...you ever get the truck fixed?

 

I know its going to be good entertainment when I get into the office and go to read the Akron/Cleveland 8 Owners email updates and I get:
