By size alone, the SS seems to command a bit more respect than a Miata on the road, but that being said, and as this thread is proof, there is no shortage of imbeciles out there. The unfortunate part of it is that parts for a Miata are plentiful, but since Holden shut down, SS parts are already starting to become scarce. Be careful out there.

Want to know what driving in Detroit is like?
Exactly this:
I'm already doing 70 and get passed by someone in the turn lane! SO AWESOME I LOVE IT
I also love how just yesterday i talked about how i didn't want to generate content like this with the new car.

This one is kinda long but the sheer amount of fail is endlessly entertaining. If you want the money shot, skip to 8:18, but the pre-amble is worth at least sampling.
Where to start? Goofy helmet and aviator goggles; Non-stop camera whoring; Poor technique; No instructor for his first-ever track day; Racing other cars; the list goes on and on. Too bad a nice Lotus had to suffer for his idiocy.

My thought was that the point of "2 feet in" was to lock the wheels so that the car spins, but the trajectory is not altered. It seems to me that by not being able to lock the wheels, that they would re-grip at an unknown place in the rotation of the car, and nothing prevents the car from then shooting across the track.
Educate me.

My only education is that I've always been told 2 feet in. Abs is not new. Abs will keep the tires near lock until you stop. Not sure how to argue that other than, leaving the rear tires under power while the fronts are trying to stop, isn't going to help anyone.
Tho only time I have seen otherwise, is in the dirt. Off road trucks routinely avoid rollovers by stomping on the gas while making side contact with dirt ditches.

2 feet in is a safety thing. regardless of abs or not -- it gets your foot off the gas and disconnects the drive wheels. it's what separates the men from the mustang owners leaving a cars and coffee.
