In any other sports car, we'd be wary of sprinting to 170
mph on the straightaway before jamming the brakes ahead of a tight left - right chicane on just the third lap.
That same rubber, in combination with the $ 8950 carbon - ceramic brake option, bolstered our test driver's confidence in pushing for
speed on our straightaway.
The low beams perform well on both right curves and fairly
well on the straightaway and sharp left curve; however, they provide inadequate light on the gradual left curve.
The aggressive aero advancements help the C7.R go
faster on the straightaways while still being consistent under braking and during cornering.
The Sorento's curve - adaptive HID projector low beams fail to provide adequate
visibility on the straightaway, left curves and the gradual right curve.
The low beams provide enough
light on the straightaway and all curves, though they create a bit of glare for oncoming drivers.
The two top - tier drivers then take off
on the straightaway as more facts are flashed on the screen — boasting the M Hybrid's 5.5 - second zero - to - 60 time versus the M37's time of 6.2 seconds.
But this car can do more than produce an aria of exhaust notes; the Sport GT S is adept in the corners and no slouch
on the straightaways too.
I can
steer on a straightaway one - handed, but with more than 30 pounds, I'd definitely have to use two hands, especially to turn corners.
Sometimes when you are jogging and
running on a straightaway, you may find that your stroller veers one direction, and when you constantly have to manually correct that inclination, it tires you out faster and makes the experience less enjoyable.
And though the new skis are
slower on straightaways — their centers push deeper into the snow, increasing friction — they are faster overall because of their turning ability.
The violent full - throttle
upshifts on straightaways are not for anyone who's protecting a lower spine injury, but the 457 lb - feet of torque helps us to readily find 120 mph before stamping on the brake and letting the six - piston front calipers settle the nose in advance of the next turn.
The power you can expect is harnessed through a nine - speed automatic transmission, which helps your drive to be smooth, responsive and
fun on both straightaways and challenging hairpin turns.
If that's the case, then the Ford Focus ST will provide loads of
thrills on any straightaway, while the Mazda will provide loads of amusement on a curvy road.
For those moments when you're not stomping the gas
pedal on a straightaway, you can pop open the hood for an extra bonus.
There also are independent double wishbone suspension, front torsion bar springs, front stabilizer bar, gas - pressurized shocks and rear semi-elliptical steel leaf springs, which in non-technical jargon means you don't
bounce on the straightaways and don't lean or sway in the turns.
The Focus ST is equipped for the driving aficionado and features an electric power - assisted steering rack that makes steering less
sensitive on straightaways and adjusts for increased sensitivity in the corners.
The six - piston front and four - piston rear monoblock calipers carry over from lesser Corvettes (Ceramics are a standalone option on Grand Sport and Z06 now), but the ZR1 gets a unique pad and rotor combination derived from racing, identical in size but with a new compound to handle the higher speeds and higher temperatures that come from an extra 100 horsepower over the
Z06 on every straightaway.
Clever selective damping allows the shock absorbers to firm up instantly in hard corners while keeping the ride
silky on straightaways.
Steering is light, but the Rio is delightfully nimble in urban environments, tracks
adeptly on straightaways and is easy to guide into turns.
The halogen low beams, for example, put more light in the eyes of oncoming
drivers on a straightaway than on the left side of the road.
Instead, it simply measures the amount of usable light provided by low beams and high beams as vehicles
travel on straightaways and curves.
And with that much power on tap, we suspect it'll pull
ahead on straightaways until a mid-engine ZR1 comes to life.
Because of the relatively small engine, we had to shift up to
fourth on straightaways among the twisties, but third works well for sport driving.
On subsequent turns, we braked harder, bringing the car's speed down substantially, and the transmission downshifted to a good power gear, and held it until we got the tachometer close to
redline on a straightaway.
The previous - gen 458 GT3 was very
strong on the straightaways and in the brake zones, but honestly lacked aerodynamic cornering grip.
Sometimes during a qualifying lap, when you're the only car on the track, things will roll along at 60
FPS on a straightaway.
What I like about this is... and I'm hoping your listeners feel this... we've given you a lot of very concrete advice that you can start taking
action on straightaway.
MOTOR SPORTS — WALT HANSGEN, West - field, N.J. throttle jockey, roared Briggs Cunningham's new Lister Jaguar up to 120
mph on straightaway, drove front - running race to win 80 - mile President's Cup feature with 75 - mph average at Upper Marlboro, Md..
