First hit is free.

(and I'm really trying to spare him from himself... the stuff he's doing on the street is going to catch up with him eventually...)

Yeah PoPo are watching me>.< They at least flash there lights just as a warning when they see me, but that Auto-X is held within 30 minutes of my house and I didnt even know!!!

Thats tight. I used to get pulled over more than once by the same few cops. It got to the point where they'd round my car, see my face, and let me go. No matter what car I'd be in.

Only ONE true way to find out.......

ask merlin

stock ride height + r comps = written off @ auto-x

I have a sedan. TRD springs. 205/45-17 Falken912 or whatever tires.

I can take turns at any speed I want.

I will skid before anything. Actually, I never felt the feeling of the car about to flip no matter how hard I make a turn.

I actually feel bad for my suspension. But I have mostly stopped that....

So as said, it all depends on the suspension, tires, speed, and DRIVER!!!

There has been a few roll overs that was posted in this forum. They probably got lost in the hack.

Yeah, we joke about SCCA being the "Secret" car club of America. Go have some fun, man. You'll learn a lot.

There is actually an equation for the theoretical roll over speed of a vehicle... This assumes that the tires will hold at this speed, and that the ground is flat as well. Different conditions will obviously change this number. This also assumes that the Center of Gravity is along the centerline of the vehicle, which I don't know if it does or not. If it doesn't its a slightly longer equation but still not that difficult. This will give you a close enough figure if you really want to know. You would also have to determine, or take an educated guess as to the height of the center of gravity.

Max Speed= (2.74)* [the square root of (Radius of the turn* Track width)/ Center of Gravity Height]

Where the speed would be in MPH, the radius of the turn, track width, and center of gravity would all be in feet.
