In a typical 75 lap race with around a dozen breaking points per lap, throw in a few more for pit stops, and you have about 1,000 breaking points in a race.
Multiply this by 20 feet each time and you have 20,000 feet or a little under 4 miles.
Like I said, the BMW would lap the S2000.

I'm sure that BMW has done a great job engineering the Z4 and in many ways it will blow away most cars, but when it came to designing it they must have been doing it by braille. The lines just don't seem to flow IMHO. I followed one down the freeway the other day and the back end is just "butt ugly"
I thought it would look better for real, but it sure hasn't happened for me yet.

You are an Idiot! And a Troll. Go away.
My Instructor took me for a ride in his M3 during lunch, now that was a fast car.
With Him driving....

Don't you have to spend a lot of time trying to find the slot cars when they fly off the toy track?

Don't we have a rule for banning the terminally stupid? I can't recall seeing anyone, save the most vile trolls, behaving as moronically as SJSharks. Tell you what Shark boy, put your money where your mouth is and see if you can outlap a stock S2000 in a stock Z4 at a Speedventures event.
