apparently i'm a tripod

or at least my M3 is around any on throttle corner so say a whole bunch of cornerworkers and cameras

Cool! I finally saw one of those in person the other day.

As Swank says: HHNNNGGG

Funny, that was my nickname in highschool.

Really, wow... Walking with a cane must've been tough at such a young age, kids can be cruel sometimes.

You are in good company.
I still recall Sebring in the day, watching 911's hang the front inner wheel stationary for a few hundred yards out of the hairpin.

Your nickname was M3?

Normal cornering mode for Escorts and Capris since the front suspensions barely moved and the rears needed to be kept limber to handle the power that Fords could generate... But sometimes...

I would always lift the rear wheel in my old Mirage. Just like the A1 chassis veedubs, that was normal operation modes.

Looks like that right front wheel is a much smaller diameter than the other three. That thing must handle like crap

I'm not sure if there's enough tire under that Ford.

Somewhere I have a pic of my dad doing that in a Gremlin.

BMWs do that.

My e36 M3 picks up the inside front often.

That's a bad thing. My neon doesn't do that, you should trade me to beon the safe side.

I seem to be a tripod too

If your Neon doesn't do the 'Neon Shuffle', you ain't pushing hard enough. Heck, when I had good tires on it, my ACR would lift the inside rear hoof on a good tight right turn lane.

I am hoping that once I get decent rubber under the Manic Miata, I'll be able to hang the inside front.

Hell my Mustang rear wheel did that at the Challenge in 2011.

Of course that was very bad

:yawn: amateurs

^^^^^ I have a hunch that wasn't his fastest time. (....had to stop 1/2-way through the run and change his shorts)

It's bad to lift the rear but it looks cool. Here's my geo lifting.

(lifting the front is much cooler, but I've never had a car with that much power.)

Go home, Saturn, you're drunk. You're not a bicycle.

I always though it was cool to see street tire cars do it:

But cars on R comps make it look sooooo easy:

does this count?

It's not so cool in a RWD solid axle car.

This photo doesn't show how high it lifted but I am told as much as 6", in 2012 it was quite a bit improved

In reply to aussiesmg:

the XJ-R picked up the inner rear a LOT in 2010, combined with the non-functioning lsd made it not so quick out of corners. took a bunch of spring rate and the swaybar out of the rear and it worked a little better in 2012 too

I don't race my neon. No point:-P
