I have a simple question about lux tax on cars. It's being phased out and every year the base amount increases, while the percentage decreases. In 1999, it's 6% of the amount over $36000. In 2000, it

I could not find the Panoz Roadster in the car category lists. Does that mean it goes into super stock? I would guess it does, since the rules say that any car not listed goes into super stock, excep

Thanks everyone for all the information! I'll send a message to Howard Duncan today. Is is really true that the differential pushes it out of SS -- even if I'm using the stock gear ratio? This will n

The stock diff is not an open diff. It is an LSD, but it uses fluid or clutch, not a Torsen. But still I see your point.

The Torsen differential _should_ outperform a clutch type LSD. Because the Torsen operates purely on the input torque from the crankshaft (no fluid or clutches), it is supposed to be more mechanicall

Well Larry you do have a point, all else is not equal. It's all in the power to weight ratio and the shape of the torque curve. Typically light rice buckets have about 75% the weight of big Vettes, b

Sure, the rear end ratio would be included if one is measuring the total gear ratio from the crankshaft to the wheel. That would be the transmission ratio multiplied by the differential ratio. For ex

Kuhmos do get hard after a while and the grip is less. But even after they get hard they still stick better than any street tire -- mine went from about 1.3G during their midlife, to about 1.1G now.
