Hmmm I knew this would come out.
This is like saying Cigarettes don't kill people.
Or like saying a Flammable object isn't dangerous. It takes something to start it on fire before it's dangerous.
Stupidest saying ever. They're insanely dangerous, just like many things in this world.
Putting humans in the mix is an inevitable thing, especially when guns are specifically MADE FOR US TO USE, even moulded to your hand for pete sakes.
That saying has 0 relevance. There are arguments that do hold weight pro-guns, but man, that's not one of them.

I can't. Then again, who's to say what order the mods were done on that car?
Who's to say if tuning took place naywhere?
Who's to say it was done the same day on the same fuel?
Those are 4 mods that aren't done in 10 minutes, I have doubts that that's a relevant comparison dyno for what we're talking about.

On an actual car-related topic... I'm going to go see a custom auto-paint guy in another hour, and talk to him about a few ideas I have for the G37. Beautiful day for a drive, too. Car is clean, tires are shiny black, tank is full.
Feeling good.

a little tux action for the grill?

No Kinetic.
Takes more power to spin the tires from a roll than it does from a stop mangg.
Thus you can apply moar powahh to da wheelz.
SN:
Since we've been discussing launches I've been trying to get the white car off of the line, finding it impossible w/ 5MT and open Diff
I'm spinning or hooking and tq steering all over the place, the car is out of control in 1st gear. When the red car spun it'd just go straight and eventually hook.
White car is intense, spin, bog, steer, ugh.
Actually you know what I remember the red car being the same way, it was getting bad in 2nd gear too before I went 6mt.
Lighter flywheel lowered PE and helped me to launch better and keep control of the car in that blink of an eye 1st gear

That's one item, yes. Also looking at air-brushing the cut-out in the lower rear bumper. No commitments yet on anything, I'm just collecting information, so that I can weigh options.
Which is how I mod... very, very slowly. I never make snap decisions with the car.

But probably not.
Here's a Gerry can full of gas. In order to light it on fire, you have to first remove the safety cap by depressing the locking tabs, and turning it in the proper direction, then you have to pour the gas out over something.
But this is still safe. As an added safety feature, you need a Lighter to do anything further!
Even more safe, there's a safety depress tab on the lighter before you can strike it. Once depressed you can now use the lighter. Then, you have to actually put the lighter, WHILE lit, up to the gasoline.
So that's why lighters and gas are perfectly safe, and don't light on fire. People light fires.
I appreciate your effort in this matter, and you can truly argue with me and win on many fronts about pro-guns. But that concept is way to ignorant for you to believe CJ, yo'ure far to smart for that. Wash that concept out of your head.

I don't think you mean static friction. Static friction is required for control of the vehicle. Don't think about the movement of the tire, think about the speed of the contact patch of the tire relative to the speed of the contact surface of the road. It is inefficient for those speeds to not be equal.

Roll the car a nudge then let all hell break loose.
Well for you... Different ball park, around like 3.5-4k and eaaase that sucker in.

Had to chime in here - this guns argument is old as sin. Reminds me of the old slogan not a single person has ever died of AIDS, since they all die from some disease or infection that sets on after AIDS wipes out their immune system.
They are just legalist aruments that while technically correct, are completely devoid of common sense. People die as a result of acquiring AIDS. People kill people (or themselves) by means of handguns. But the argument is circular and is never going to end... and don't get me wrong, I'm not against firearms, but some people just should not have access to them - just like some people should never be given a driver's license! 'nuff said.
On another topic, guess who I ran into last night: The owner of ILL MAX, aka jdubb (this one: http://forums.maxima.org/album.php?albumid=6585)! He wasn't in his ride, but we had a very nice chat. I was kind of humbled - him complimenting my ride. Hopefully he'll step back into the org here.

They are so frightened many of them cannot feel safe until they have something in their hand that can kill another human being instantly. And hey, if everyone else has that mentality one feels obligated too join the crowd so as not too appear weak.

Kinetic = Moving
I think you might be blowing my mind though, so if that's the case, I need further explaination
Don't blame the Americans for being a gun toting society Tuner. Their culture is one of fear and paranoia. They have been indoctrinated since birth too think that the enemy is at the front door waiting too kill them all in their sleep.

But we're just Canadian, we know nothing, nothing we think applies. There's this magical line below us where we enter a completely different world that in no way applies to us or our views.
Best thing clashez has ever thought of ???
I think so.

Though, I'm not sure with your taste, that you're the one to find them. None-the-less I would like to see this come to fruition.

The contact patch of Tire to Pavement = Static friction, even when the car is moving.
I remember failing this problem in Dynamics last semester, because the contact patch on the tire remains static in relation to the ground.
Nelledge is correct, and the nightmares of Dynamics haunt me again.

In our era, raising your hand in self-defense is very risky, because the intended victims end up being charged with committing assault. People lose thier jobs for confronting robbers. The backwards logic is almost laughable. The interesting statistic though, is that the Countries with the most liberal gun laws have the lowest crime rates. Why? Most hoodlums are opportunists. The opportunity is greatly diminished and the risk greatly increased when any given intended victim is likely to have a firearm with them vs here, where it's very unlikely.
So in a way you are right, but the long absence of hostile invaders has turned the paranoia into the perceived enemy being any fellow citizen.
