Full Version: Team LG takes first place!
...awww....now its a lovefest...
IF the drifter gets another 50hp out of that turbo AND the girl gets a couple gallons of ass, Napoleon Dynamite will get is ass handed to him on the road course.
JMHO ...
His mad skilz just don't impress me much.
Listening to Louis' calm voice cracks me up. I recall that same radio voice when an unnamed driver was being checked out in Lou's Trans AM car. While not transmitting, Louis voice became significantly more "concerned" when chatting with his dad and crew.

Lou seems to be a little hard on the guy....but as a 17 year old kid, you should be trying to soak up as much as you can.....his attitude S.U.C.K.S. And then, in steps the "enabler" dad...."My son has always been supremely confident...." If I was there and the kids father, instead of making excuses for the kid, I would take him behind the shop and give him a lesson in life.... 
No kidding... this is a great time for the kid to learn, but instead he has acted like he knew it all already and the Dad isn't helping the situation.
I think the kid gets it handed to him on the road course next time.
Granted that I am probably the youngest person on this forum, I would have to say that kid has a pretty crappy attitude towards learning especially from someone with that much experience. However Lou seemed a little overly mean but I guess it's all good now.
I thought Ken Gushi was taking the oval course in style with the drifting... and I was pretty shocked to see that the girl had an identical twin that also participates in motorsports stuff

one of the year one guys comments on the chick is hilarious.

I believe they are nieces to Nascar driver Dereck Cope.

No, the one driving is his spoiled, over confident cousin......Neapolitan
Just watched the final episode of this.....looks like the big, fat, LGM aluminum radiator killed the kid's chance at $100,000. Too bad, because that car was a nice ride! I wonder how much acutal choice they had on what to install on the cars come upgrade time.....
Lou was saying they had all this power now,and no tires to put it down with, and it showed on the drag race. I wonder if each team just brought a bunch of their own parts, most of what I saw LGM taking off the rack had big LGM stencils on it, and they just bolted it on as they gained points, and not much actual strategy went on. Or maybe the show made the Corvette stick to "stock" tires to try and slow it down and equalize the cars....

What I found ironic is that Lou (and everyone else for that matter) lost to the only girl on the show.....and she drove a Ford
What happened to the Corvette on the road course? I saw it was slow, but never caught why it had no power.
Howdy,
I think it was because Team LG managed to "improve" the car enough to make it break down...
:-)
(ok, ok, cheap shot. But still... Why would you modify the car at all for that competition? Put the credits into tires & stickers and call it a day)
I'd also like to know what happened to the corvette. Seemed like a cooling issue... What failed?
I wonder if the Forza Motorsports xbox game has the cars breaking down all the time? :-)
I especially like how whatshername won mostly because nobody there was clued in enough to know which lap she was on.
Nice "race".

On corvette forum Lou said they didn't let him put in the radiator, and some of the other upgrades they just showed them on tv and didn't let them put them on the car as a way to hold the corvette back from dominating.

So...he is saying a stock Corvette is incapable of running 20 minutes on a road course without overheating?????????????
Actually, the car overheated on lap TWO!
its not even summer.

I'd bet the LG splitter blocks the air dam and they weren't allowed to do what they need to box the nose to the radiator in.
Imagine putting a splitter like that on one of our cars without turning it into a front breather with a ducted air box. I'll bet we'd overheat on lap two as well.

Finally a theory that makes sense! Problem is...why didn't Lou and crew know that and not put the splitter on unless the cooling issues could be addressed?

With the stock radiator my car overheated in 2 laps.
Kinda ruined the whole weekend since I had to keep it under 3500 the whole time 
The question that I would have is that the Corvette in stock form on day one ran 5 + laps (I think) on the road course and had only the check engine light come on, but no heating issues. Then, after adding some spoiler modifications that should have only helped the car's cooling, it can't make 3 laps without over heating.......something just doesn't add up.
