Anyone seen a London Taxi? When we stayed at the Hotel Santa Fe they had 2 purple ones and would take you into downtown for free. I asked our driver how it drove and he promptly did 3 donuts in the exit lane of the hotel before we got out in the main road. They were diesels and they had to keep them plugged in during winter.
Car pics too cool not to share

hey, anything for a bigger tip!

we had tractors plowing a couple pages back so I'm calling this on topic...
Probably has a 3.0L Duramax.
I love seeing the actual aero in the dust behind those vehicles. The wing on that car is really ripping a clean line above the dust.

Truck don't need no wing slowing it down with 11 tons of ass to haul!
But seriously, land speed streamliners will add ballast for traction instead of wings. Weight is more efficient at top speed.
That's something that a lot of people don't know. You either have too much time, too much money, or your just retarded like me.

Never thought about it, but it makes sense. The more downforce, the higher the drag on the car. Interesting.
Here's a blast from the past. They put this video out in the late '90s in Japan only. I remember taking hours to download "pirated" videos like this. Getaway in Stockholm was another favorite of mine. Those early videos had guys with turbo Supras and Hayabusas running full throttle and exciting those of us who tend to be a little squirrly. Again, it used to take hours to download a 5 -10 minute video.

I usually prefer the term "autistic," but they both work
I loved the spoon civic and integra in gran turismo 2!
It's not about "downforce" per se, it's about aerodynamic drag coefficients and overcoming them. The cross sectional profile of the vehicle is what really dictates that, and a big ol' wing flying has a large cross section, which by the nature of a wing produces drag. Power needed to overcome drag forces grows exponentially with speed.
Also used to sweep the parking lot, I hear...
So, as cool as that is (and it is!), I wonder what would happen if it picked up any kind of road debris? I have to believe that they've made allowances for such an occurrence, but I do wonder what that might be.

Good question!
Oh! I know! It'll look like this after!!!
