Flux Capacitor must have kicked in...

 

I agree, and my point was that even at a basically impossible 1.5Gs the forces would not be enough to cause a human to blackout.

Skidpad numbers of a car are not the absolute limit. Check out the friction circles here : http://www.fd3s.net/magazine_article...article02.html
and you'll see that even .89G skidpad number cars yield in the neighborhood of 1.05 to 1.10 in handling around a track, so it wouldn't be totally out of the question (with ultra sticky rubber) to attain 1.20 or higher with the 8.

 

were you struck by lightning?

 

Agree 100%.

 

it really just depends on the person - my girlfriend blacked out on a roller coaster and it was just during a back-to-back loop section - it wasn't terrible, but the pull on your chest/inability to breath, and duration of the loops caused her to black out briefly. so maybe it's possible, if that girl wasn't really ready for it and the seatbelt jerked tight right at the moment she tried to inhale.

just moved to austin tx - is there anywhere to track in this area?

 

oh dude for real about the blacking out thing, i did donuts (with my AT rx8) and after about 3-4 circles, I just felt very very naucious......

 

hmmm all with good points i guess depends on how weak the person is to speed, depends on how tired they are also and if that have not eaten in a while. and heat plays a factor also but thats the first i have heard about it in a street car ???

 

60-70 ish. Nuttin special.

 

Define corner

 

I thought corners were at intersections

 

but can't you also "corner" on a track (and I don't think they have intersections)

 

yea, I meant like corners on track also

 

Yeah and highway interchanges count also. .

 

I consider a corner anything where I can abruptly cut the wheel and hear the tires groan: school cross walks, police parking lots, road construction zones in the dirt, and those hospital roundabouts where the ambulances pull-in - fantastic!!!!!

 

Don't forget about cemeteries!

 

And orphanages!

 

orphanages? wtf man, uncool, although we would inspire many future rx-8 owners!

"someday! I will get out of this place, I will become someone, I will buy an rx-8!"

 

I cut corners at work. does that count?

 

but how fast?

 

well, look, I'm already back on the forum! mad tyte corner cutting skilz yo!

 

Ive mellowed out alot in my car since a close call I had about two months ago, I actually made a thread about it, I was going about 140 and got cut off. So before I give mine, bear in mind Im not this stupid in my car anymore. I took a 50mph offramp at 117mph and my tires were barely squeling and my traction light didnt even blink. Once again before I get banned, it was a long time ago and Im just answering the question. It wasnt that sharp of an off ramp (obviously) but that was by far the craziest Ive done around a corner.

 

I have two clear corners I use to go real fast!

 

RODFL@WORK - pretty good

 

Sorry to hear about the Solstice...you had a lot of work into that car from what I could tell...

 

I took a corner so fast once I ended up in another dimension reading a retarded *** thread on how fast everyone's taken a corner......I'm still trying to figure out how to get back.
