my lag is your courtesy head start
ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!

mixed impressions.
reply to this thread: cleaned it out.
I had one of the drift guys ride with me Sunday and he said that riding in my car was "scarier" than drifting. Here's why:
Looking at the videos, I timed drift boy at 12 seconds for a complete lap of the skidpad. Drew Scoda's Mustang did it in under 11 seconds. Doesn't sound like a huge difference, does it?
But, plugging those numbers into a spreadsheet I have for calculating G's on a skidpad and assuming that Drew was pulling about .9 G's shows that the skidpad radius is about 90 feet (it wasn't completely round, but that's close enough for comparison). The drifting 240 at 12 seconds? .77 G's.
Other comparisons:
My Yaris, 11 seconds (.91 G on crappy street tires)
Jack's S2000, 11 seconds (.91 G w/ race tires front, streets rear)
Carl's Miata, 10 seconds (1.1 G on race tires)
Tod's S2000, <10 seconds (1.1+ G on race tires)
Drifting is teh slow.

Haha, have you ever met Loren? That guy is the biggest nerd ever. Nice enough guy, but I can totally see him having spreadsheets for everything. He's definitely the analytical type.
