      When I saw his video the other day putting in the hood pins I knew it wouldn’t hold. Those style latches look nice, but aren’t very secure. And with only 2 of them once the hood flexes they’ll release.
      Should have 4 across the front and probably 2 more on each side. And either the old school style with the clips or the flush mount ones with the lever that locks them. Those button pop up style latches just don’t hold when under high load and things flexing.

Meanwhile Mazzei and Logan have some of coolest and most functional 4-Rotors out there thatr have been running for years. If Mazzei went AWD, OMG that would be insane..

      @@michaelgomez4994making a pure lap-speed comparison at le mans is ultimately meaningless. endurance racing isn't about lap-per-lap speed, it's about reliability. An F1 car would certainly be faster than a GT3 car around Le Mans...but it would break before ever finishing and lose to the GT3s by a country mile, not to mention have to pit for fuel every 2-3 laps.
      The only problem the 787B ran into in 1991 was a dead headlight and an overheating (but not failed) rear wheel bearing, meanwhile, the C11s (*not* C9s, the 787B never raced the C9, just the 787A) had multiple issues, including a spin, gearbox problem, other undisclosed mechanical problems, and also had to moderate its pace by conserving fuel -- a slowing factor that the 787B did not have, since it was efficient enough that fuel consumption didn't really matter.

They put the hood latches (wrong latches) in it a few days ago and had intended to half-mile race it to prep for this but a garbage oil pump prevented any testing. Now Rob can go back and not only finish the car, but he has real data to know what changes he needs to make.

      I could be wrong but it just seems the Rx7 lacks the torque of the mustang and resulted in the slower launch. It appears the weight shift was close enough to say it was not really timing. Rotory motors are a high rpm motor but not so much a torque monster. Imo
