Coefficient of Friction, car tires and road

**Exactly my point.

The old friction physics rules of thumb fall apart laughingly in the face of modern racing, isn’t this obvious or am I being too frivilous? Maybe you won’t see some vettes pulling 2 G’s off the line without stick’em, but theoretically they could pull say1.2 G’s, right?

By the way, the drag cars you speak of pull much more than a G because of adhesive stickem’ on the tires and road. They pull like 2.5-3 G’s without any help from downforce off the line, if I’m not mistaken. But this is another sub-topic, I am talking about purely rubber meets the road friction. **

something clever, here was my distinction between soft and sticky that you didn’t see and still haven’t seen. I am just asking you to read more thoroughly so we don’t have to waste time and posts on this trivial stuff and me telling people i already said this and that.
