Quote: How did a stock ZR1 on a track end up in Dook?

It's probably cresting a hill at high speed and getting a little air.
Quote: Magnetic Selective Ride Control (MSRC) is standard and tuned specifically for the ZR1.
It is a real-time damping system that replaces conventional mechanical-valve shocks
with electronically controlled shocks filled with a synthetic fluid containing minute iron
particles. Under the presence of magnetic charge, the iron particles align to provide
damping resistance almost instantly.

MSRC “reads” the road in 1-milisecond intervals (a thousand times per second), making
it the world’s fastest-reacting damping system. Its ability to deliver a compliant ride with
nearly instantaneous damping adjustments enabled engineers to develop a surprisingly
supple ride quality in a supercar that still delivers cornering grip of more than 1g.

From a high-performance perspective, Magnetic Selective Ride Control helps the rear
axle remain planted during launch for smooth, hop-free acceleration. It also helps
suppress axle movement when cornering on broken or uneven pavement.
That explains it. Thanks.

I remember Rod Millen doing things with this kind of technology years ago for the military.

Looks like they've come a long ways.

Re: Dook status
to whoever was bitching about the "bbs" wheel or whatever breaking, just about any strong wheel would have broke.... look at the picture, front end is smashed, oil on the ground, im pretty sure that car was in a bad drift accident.....

I'm sure all that broke when the car bottomed out AFTER the wheel broke, But I'm with you, ANY wheel can break.

The white/orange car reminds me of half the cars I saw in St. Maarten. A bunch of neutral colored cars with random colored trim pieces..I guess they did it to help tell their cars apart because soo many of them were the same.
