Not vintage but, I had no idea this existed: While all the car manufacturers are trying to out-Tesla, Tesla, Ford did this. A supercharged, 815 HP, Mustang that did a sub 7-minute lap at the Nürburgring. And you (not me), can buy one! Ford Mustang® GTD: Full Sub-7-Minute Nürburgring Lap

310 miles. That didn't last long.

AI's ability to analyze complex systems is not good. This is one example: The problem statement is, why do McLarens brakes run cooler that everyone else? If the answer is that they have greater down force under braking, this AI analysis would indicate the opposite: In F1, changes in tire...

I don't understand how the brakes run cooler because of anti dive. The total (all 4 wheels) of rotational/frictional forces acting on the brakes that slow a mass of X from 200mph to 100mph are the same regardless of weight transfer. The only way to deploy and incredible amount of drag (think a...

I can see where removing what little dive there is under braking/on turn in would make it somewhat more difficult for the driver. But I'm not sure how that relates to tire front tire wear. Is most front tire wear is due to braking into corners or going through the corner? Also, must of what...

This stuff is a complete mess to work with. I got most of it shaped with a saw and a Surform tool. This stuff is really sort of rubbery so a Surform tool basically rips the surface off into shreds. Then I sanded with 60 grit orbital. The glue lines will not cut or sand the adhesive and I...

I accidentally did the Dragon coming home in my wife's SUV. I was considered a "backmarker" in the race. Lots of people not very happy.

I make a lot of project lists. I usually find them about a year later. The good thing is that I see stuff on the list that I never got around to doing. So, consider it done!

Not sure about the 3 wire oil pressure, or the 87a wire (looks like it's not used), so that is good. Either should work.

Nice I like the bare bones look. A long time ago, I wrecked my Triumph TR6. I removed the front end including the fender wells to go to a frame shop. When it was done, I asked them if i could drive it, they said it was "drivable". Went and picked it up and drove home in the rain. At speed...

Mike, you are using aluminum pipes also, correct? I assume your entire system (pipes, mufflers) is welded together, no clamps?

Started on the XPS buildup of the perimeter glued to the frame: FRAME GLUED ON BLOCKS

$350 sounds like a good deal. There is a reference to a harness for $245 but you would also need some type of ECU. The old GM ECU is probably the best deal.

Nice video. My dad was one of those people that thought the invasion of rear engine cars in Indy was going to ruin racing forever. He took me to a race when I was a kid in ~1965. His favorite driver was Jim Hurtibise who spent years racing an old front engined Offy, until he couldn't qualify...

Thanks, I had one of those. The fit was awful. It would be easier to modify a stock 68 hood.
