    Applies similarly to motorcycles too. Its best to hold a constant speed in the turn and accelerate on the way out. So your turn speed should be set before you start the turn and avoid braking in it.

    And steering corrections mid-corner... ask me how I know :anonymous:

    Also, there is no way that I am gonna get agro with my Tacoma that weighs 5k and 190hp with C.O.G. so high.

    When I was having fun with super sedans before 4x4, I got invited by Michelin tires to "test" out their Pilot Super Sports.
    All I remember from my pro-driver while I was piloting an ISF at Fontana was him yelling, FLOOR IT!, BRAKE HARD!! TURN! TURN MORE!!!! FLOOR IT!!!
    It was super fun but intimidating at first; then I googled my instructor....

    ... fine detailing the passenger side from the weekends offroad adventures in northern Wisconsin
    I was extremely careful not to track sand inside (drove the whole Pipe trail sock footed) so the sand so far is a non issue, (if nobody drives sock footed on the trail, especially with MT, i do highly recommend it is such a blast to feel those pedals without a shoe getting into the way.)

    The engine compartment is a freeking mess of mud puddle splashes so that is gonna take awhile to get back to good, may have to remove the stupid battery again and clean underneath it, i just did that last month!
    also trying to hose the inside of the crap frame and see which drain holes are plugged up... is it best to have one end or the other elevated when hosing the inside out?

    Looks like it. I've never seen that offer. Only 0% for 6 months on $100 or more.

    I feel like I need to buy them up haha.

    I’ve tried to read all the FAQ’s and stuff, none of it says anything about 6 months.

    Honestly though, 6 months in plenty

    As does Motor Trend with their instrumented tests. If you actually read the article I linked, it was a comparison test. The Frontier double cab did 60-0 mph braking in 139 ft. The F-150 did it in 136 ft. Even a Silverado HD 3/4 ton did it in 142 ft. And the Tacoma didn't win the award.

    In Edmunds' testing, the 2nd gen Tacoma does 60-0 mph in 126 ft, on camera:



    Where's the National Safety Bureau source?

    Yep. Did you miss the part where he was hit from behind, and that propelled him into the car in front?

    Still waiting on your published 35-0 mph test results on the 1st gen Tacoma.
