the wheels are slowing you down.

 

how does a bov slow you down?

 

It's the leprechaun...

 

I dunno...even from a stop, the kid in the blue WRX can not drive the car worth ****....his launch was horrible. His whole car just jumped foward chirping, then bogged and the boost dropped, and he still ended up beating the black WRX up around 70mph...

 

street racing is bad

 

yes we all know it is but people do it so what can you gonna do....

 

teh blue wrx stalled 2 of 3 launches so i guesse we really wanna know why is the black car slower then the blue car

 

it's probably the wheels. It could be how much the car was warmed up... that makes a huge difference. The weight of the driver makes a HUGE difference as well. If you have a 120lb driver and a 240lb driver... there is no doubt that you will notice the difference.

 

the slow car was build on monday and the fast car was built on payday...

haha
edgar,

 

wait! were the rims rotas? if so there you go

edgar,

 

Also, if the blue car was freshly waxed it would be more slippery and have less aerodynamic resistance at higher speeds. Or maybe the blue car was just trying harder.

'Street racing' is not real racing.

Actually, that's not true. Small perturbations in the surface (i.e., dirt) could cause the car to be more aerodynamically "slippery" (i.e., less drag) at high speed, for the same reason that golf ***** have dimples:

So maybe the black car was not dirty enough... as all owners of black cars can attest, regular washing is a heckuva commitment.

 

If that's true, why don't we see golf ***** competing at the Bonneville Salt Flats for the Land Speed Record?
