I assume an average speed of 160kh/h which I recall reading somewhere once, I think how they were our fastest race cars for a long time, averag...

I wanted to find the point the tires would loose grip and the ABS would kick in. For the LS motors, I believe it's a design flaw in the block and it's someth...
