Not sure if its been posted already or if people have received it in there e-mails but anyways, I got it this morning and thought it was amusing.

Ferraris entire pit crew fired.

The Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The

announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the Australian

Government's Youth Opportunity scheme and employ people from Dandenong. The

decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how

unemployed youths from the Dandenong area were able to remove a set of

wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's

existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of euros worth of

high-tech equipment. John Howard went on record as saying this was a bold

move by the Ferrari management, which demonstrated the international

recognition of Australia's employment practices under his Liberal

government. As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari now have an

advantage over every team. However, Ferrari may have got more than they

bargained for......At the crew's first practice session, the Dandenong pit

crew successfully changed the tyres in under 6 seconds, and then within 12

seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren

team for a slab of VB, a kilogram of speed and some photos of Montoya's

girlfriend in the shower.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
