Hey Bob, do you know what the problem with numbers from the skid pan is?


There's no problem so long as they are consistently high in all tests
at all times.



Do you know why comparing drag coefficients is often foolish?


It's hardly foolish. Slippery cars usually are more quiet on the road
and due to less wind noise. Compromises between good drag numbers and
downforce are a staple of modern auto design.



Now here's a question that should connect the first two; do you know
what the drag coefficient is for an F1 car in Monaco configuration?

That's not really applicable to the discussion and I think you know
why.

Do you think that you could drive your EVO and beat Shu in a Renault 5
at Monaco?


I'm not likely to do well against a professional driver. There's a
huge difference between learning a local circuit and doing well and a
person who drives at the limits week after week.
