This is one of those videos that proves that there is a point when you let off the go pedal! The guy lived is what amazed me. I wonder if it slowed him down any.

Well so much for the Rapture! I am still here. My daughter told me I had better hope that guy's prediction was wrong because if it was not I am still here, so what does that mean? :o

The Lambo clearly has a dimpled finish to its underside thus making the airflow very smooth. ;)

Today's Thought

Weather forcasters??? Here in Maryland they are tops like this!
"Temperature 95.7 °F, Feels Like 112 °F "

So is that like flowing a port and getting 295CFM and saying it sounds like it flows 325CFM???????

Does it not just Feel Like 95.7°F and 70% humidity??????

Damn engineers have to find everything for'em . . . do the math :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

Quote: The heat index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived equivalent temperature — how hot it feels, termed the felt air temperature. The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, or sweating, which evaporates and carries heat away from the body. However, when the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced, so heat is removed from the body at a lower rate causing it to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Measurements have been taken based on subjective descriptions of how hot subjects feel for a given temperature and humidity, allowing an index to be made which relates one temperature and humidity combination to another at a higher temperature in drier air.
