I mentioned about the weight a bit further up, not sure what the weight will be changed to. Now its moved to 620kg ish. I'm sure the engine will make more weight loss, but lightening the rear end will make it harder to get the power down no?
It's not that they'll be boring, and they will be...
Very true, most things tend to filter down from f1 in the car world. Just seen the post about the M3 going smaller and turbo'd for 2012. EU regs spoil everything. Don't get me started on the whole "Global Warming" s**t.
It's to stop the rear end swapping on you mate. If the front goes it's only going to be a bit of understeer, but the rear is more unpredicatable in this weather.
Nope
it's true they don't look as quick. Not as much grunt as a big engined NA. It's a shame, but as least they aren't going Diesel.lol. Saying that, there is a long time between now and then, and knowing F1, i'll be amazed if it will still be the case.
I suppose, but when you consider the amount/duration of stress on them it's a bit different. 1000bhp skylines don't run flat out for ~250 laps in a weekend. Not to mention the stresses of the traction through the transmission when it puts the power down.
Either at the point where the dash meets the windscreen passenger side right in the corner, or on the stickers in the door shuts. Oh and in maintenance book
As Daz said, hard to tell without pics, but I'd be surprised if there was that much damage caused at the speed. They can usually withstand some impact.
Wish I had a pic from tail slapping the curb at 30mph. That wheel was bent :S
