Cobra99 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Great Driving. Can't say the same for the Z/28 driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slbgtsc Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Z/28 over drove the car, Boss smooth and under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 So, you are saying that a $50K Boss 302 with 444 hp and a live rear axle beat a $75K Camaro z/28 with 505 hp, huge carbon brakes and active suspension? How embarassing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygator Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Liked on Youtube... That Z28 driver was horrible. Did he damage it going cross-country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I didn't beat the Z, we weren't racing, and my car cost $43K. The Z/28 doesn't have active suspension but does have Multimatic DSSV dampers, the same tech used on F1 cars, and much better for the track. The Z/28 owner did have to replace two wheels and one or two tires. Fortunately there was no major damage to his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yeah... Me thinks the guy driving the Z28 got into the power a wee bit too soon coming out of that corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in a race, if a driver wrecks and you pass him...that's beating him in my book! Yah, I just quoted and "msrp" price I saw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Rick - nice work! Perhaps the Bow Tie Boy didn't have enough track time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperNC Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 maybe his knee hit the key? OK... THAT was funny! Or maybe he has a lot of track time. I like how you are being objective. There are two types of cars on track: Those who have been off and those who are going to go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint200 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Very nice driving! If you watch the video closely, you will see that the Camaro was way off the line at the apex before he (ahem) "turned left" (he was way to early on the turn in). When he should be able to hit the throttle hard, he was already heading off track. His mistake was to try to turn too hard to over-correct for his mistake. Physics sucks! If he had held the wheel steady and gone a bit off track to the right, he may have been able to avoid the damage he sustained. The beauty is that Rick didn't over-drive the car at any point, just kept his line, and the result is for all to see. Nice driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to really tell by the video, but you are probably right. Newton's 2nd law at work and abruptly met by the 3rd law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
