"These products help us to fine tune the little driver mod along quicker for those last few seconds and to maintain consistent lap times. Otherwise how can we know we have optimized our laps?"
So I thought maybe Nutrisystem would help my "Driver Mod" lose 30 pounds, but decided not to try it. It's really hard to resist Marie Osmond though... I started a low carb diet in December, and that hasn't worked as of today. It must be my frequent lapses. I'd go towards the refrigerator after a low carb dinner and my wife would call out, "Where ya' going, Honey?", trying to save me from myself. I'd yell back, "Nothing to see here, Honey, move along! It may look like a lapse, but I'm thinking it is just another lap from my easy chair to the kitchen! Getting my steps in!"
I try and get my 500 steps in every day.
So I think my "lose Challenger front end weight" Driver Mod may have to resort to Liposuction. DGatzby, your apples to apples concept has got me thinking...always a dangerous thing!
To really know how all the other performance mods work maybe we should adopt a personal handicapping system, sorta like for horse racing jockeys. We get a strong box of varying lead weights, in various sizes, so we can finely adjust the weight of the box plus or minus 20 pounds, and we glue the box to the floor behind the passenger seat. We start our box off with weights totaling 20 pounds - in the middle of the adjustment range. We gear up for the track - helmets, fancy racing shoes, fire proof gloves, asbestos-lined boxer shorts - the whole track day rig - and weigh ourselves. Then we go out and get some times at the drag strip or the road course track. This personal weight, and the weight of the car, is our baseline!
In the future, whether we've been mainlining pumpkin pies and put on some weight, or gotten the whole body Lipo (with cold body sculpting, of course, to target that last bit of beer belly love handle) and lost weight, we'll adjust the lead weights in the box so our car/human total always weighs the same.
