It's really easy to crash a car with lots of electronic aids. Just enter the corner too fast. Job done. Electronics cannot break the laws of physics.

Gravity: it's the law.

Centripetal reaction vs coefficient of friction. Admittedly the former is expressed in Gs. The latter is expressed as μ.

Gravity helps with the latter, but since it's a constant can largely be ignored on Earth.

My physics teacher would approve Mr Graves.

Anybody calling it centrifugal would get a severe ear bashing.

"It's Centripetal motion..."

Reminds me of a country song.

There's no way of knowing yet.

Early Turbo 911s, the V6 Clio, Ford Pinto, Renault 5 turbo 1 and 2, all sadistic, all evil.
Perhaps the 1M too?

Also, by the way:
