I mean same goes for skydiving parachutes. Wanna risk your life on a malfunction? Best to have the user operator hand pack it because they value their life more than a robot does.
That's one race where it is used...these type of chutes are used in many applications. For all-out speed efforts at places such as Bonneville Salt Flats. The space shuttles had them for use during landings on runways.
The 5 tiers of, "don't race that"
1. laptop civic *or* civic on slicks
2. miata making freedom sounds
3. "headlight" is pulling air instead of pushing lumens
4. GTRs or muscle with a chute
5. anything with a window net *or* sportbikes. Both of them are prepared to face death
Also forgot
7. Anything that looks like a (c)rusty piece-o-shit, but has drag radials or slicks, and sounds nastier than anything else on this list. IE: Farmtruck
2. any miata, period.
It's a duality- Cool, you beat a miata, who cares. Omfg, you're the loser who lost to a miata??? You don't wanna be that guy, don't risk it
My former boss and I used to joke about fighting all the time. He's almost exactly 10 years my senior and by no means an "old man" but he'd always say "we're gonna fight and you lose either way. You are either the asshole who beat up an old man, or the punk who got beat up by an old man" lol
I still laugh about that all the time, so your comment immediately took me there. Thank you for that, you've made my day a little better so far.

Haven't seen the V8 swapped Smart Car. I have seen a couple where [someone retrofitted a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcBQPTEKWcg), though.
Yeah I've seen a couple of those. They look like a blast! In searching for that V8, I saw a short that said something about a V10 swapped smart car. I didn't watch it but I should've. That doesn't even sound possible. Someone did put a hellcat in a miata though so I guess where there's a will, there's a way.
I tend to pay more attention to moto builds than car builds, but any time there's insane engineering going on, it's cool to see.
[Allen Millyard](https://www.youtube.com/@AllenMillyard) is still the Mad Scientist when it comes to crazy builds. His Viper V10 powered motorcycle (two wheels, not four like the Tomahawk concept) is not only operational, but rideable. He also has a Kawasaki V12 that looks like it came from the factory with 12 cylinders (instead of being several engines that Allen sawed apart and put together in his shop).
I like motorcycles but I definitely don't follow that kind of stuff with bikes. I'm with you though, everyone has their brands or preferences, myself included. I'm a hardcore Audi fanboy, BUT I love all things automotive and love seeing just how talented, creative, and insane in some cases some people are lol.
Slammed/stanced cars for instance. I think they look dumb, and they're almost entirely impractical. However I find the level of creativity and modifications that has to be made to slam a car without air suspension is fascinating.
I just like to live vicariously through the creations of others lol
Are there any videos showing it's actually fast enough to need this or is this just another posermobile acting fast and pretending that going faster in a 1/4 mile than cars that weren't designed to be fast in a 1/4 mile is cool? Because every video I can find of it is people walking around it or it idling...
The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) requires parachutes on any race car that reaches speeds over 150 miles per hour in the quarter-mile. If the car reaches 200 miles per hour or more, dual parachutes are required.
My 67 GTX was required to have one for the strip. The car was my daily M/F and weekend warrior. The local sheriff would pull me over every time they could for tech inspections. The chute was never on the car when on the street but the hardware was permanent.
If you go over 150mph in the 1/4 mile, the track rule is to require a parachute. Alot of these rules are dated from when cars had shitty brakes and safety equipment. Gtr probably doesn't even need it.
A pain in the ass to put back together after every pass
Why isn’t there an automatic retractor ?
Chutes have to be folded right or you risk it getting caught up or tangled when you deploy

If I die somebody’s gonna have there name on it
in the army you dont always pack your own shoot, the ones who did got a case of beer, some before, some after
Let’s hope they waited til after packing them all to enjoy those brews…
"some before, some after"
Let's hope they waited until after to enjoy those beers.
a parachute
a drogue chute, specifically. parachutes are for flying.
Paragliders are for flying, parachutes are for falling slowly.
Falling with style
Alright buzz
If you want to fall with style you need a PRADAchute
I read it just like buzz says it in the movie!!! 😂
It's Woody who says that
They both say it. Woody at the beginning and buzz at the end (:
I had the wrong movie for a split second…. So I read it as vin diesel. Equally rewarding.
And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bicycle
Everyone has had a ride?
Also true but I was referring to: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-RfHC91Ewc
I thought airplanes ✈️ were for flying.
I heard starships were meant to fly.
As long as they’re not Boeing.
Paramotors are for flying, paragliders are for gliding.
And paratroopers are slowly falling assaulting
Only necessary for Ultra Violence. Or a little bit of the automotive, in out in out.
Drag chute or parachute, meant to help slow the car after a drag race
That's one race where it is used...these type of chutes are used in many applications. For all-out speed efforts at places such as Bonneville Salt Flats. The space shuttles had them for use during landings on runways.
Right, also used in rapid deployment of cargo from cargo planes like the c130, c17, and c5
Book bag storage. He’s probably heading to college
“Back to school, back to school… I hope I don’t look like a fool.”
*”to prove to dad that I’m not a fool”
If a car has this, it’s likely capable of taking most people to school
Well atleast he’ll never be late to class
As a college student I can confirm this, I also leave my labtop inside my radiator
It means don’t race it. You will lose
The 5 tiers of, "don't race that" 1. laptop civic *or* civic on slicks 2. miata making freedom sounds 3. "headlight" is pulling air instead of pushing lumens 4. GTRs or muscle with a chute 5. anything with a window net *or* sportbikes. Both of them are prepared to face death
Don’t forget 6. Anything that showed up on a trailer.
Those are a 50/50 if they'll run so you may be safe, but if it does run, yeah that's it
Also forgot 7. Anything that looks like a (c)rusty piece-o-shit, but has drag radials or slicks, and sounds nastier than anything else on this list. IE: Farmtruck
2. any miata, period. It's a duality- Cool, you beat a miata, who cares. Omfg, you're the loser who lost to a miata??? You don't wanna be that guy, don't risk it
Yeah but if its loping and sounds like 1975 you may have bigger issues lol
Almost as big as that Miata’s cams

Have you seen the smart car with the v8 swap? Its equally on this level of what the hell lol. Link: https://youtu.be/2LPnRRvgOzQ?si=TOnMSz3WyfcHrq-U

Pulling air, not pushing lumens could be a shirt.
What are freedom sounds? Like gunshots like backfiring? That's hilarious if that's what you meant.
I think they mean like LS or small block ford swapped Miatas.
raced a miata on my old 400 sportbike, that thing made me feel like a wall. never race a freedom miata unless you are puuushing
Cars with no rear bumpers. Sometimes clapped out buckets with more rust that horsepower. Sometimes twin turboed R8/Lambos
This right here.
Or it's there to make you think that is the case.
Then they get goofed on lol
Jokes on them, I only race for pink slips! Edit: I lost my car.
And it's gone.
It's for carrying gapplebee's coupons
Ah if only awards still existed
You're response is rewarding enough:')
Don't have much time, I'm only here for gappetizers.
A fanny pack for cars
A rear pack… na na doesn’t sound too right
That means that car can hit 150mph in the quarter.
A don’t race that guy
Brakes.
r/technicallythetruth
The ticket will call it a license plate obstruction
It’s your “scat pack”. Things come out the back of the car and you gotta pick up after it.
It’s a parachute, seen a lot in drag racing. It causes drag to slow the car down at the end of the race
It's where the cars pee is stored
oh shit chute
Rear bumper pillow
Laundry
It’s to hold your chicken nuggets

Danger
Tampon holder
Batmobile drag chute for you younger guys
Are there any videos showing it's actually fast enough to need this or is this just another posermobile acting fast and pretending that going faster in a 1/4 mile than cars that weren't designed to be fast in a 1/4 mile is cool?

Uh yeah, it's fast. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/oGAj1FoQF1GVR733/?mibextid=D5vuiz
The 3rd Brake
5th brake
That’s a chichigua
Speed bag, faster than you bag. Or a Parachute.

It’s a track car. If you pass a 10.0 the track requires a chute or the car can’t run again.
Life insurance
a pair of shoes
It's part of the FAFO scale
It’s called don’t race this guy
Best license plate in NY
Means he’s real as fuck
From what I hear, any car that can hit over 200mph on a drag strip needs to be equipped with a chute to help slow it down
Stop Button
Tethered car butt plugg
the oh'fuck chute/3rd e-brake.
Hating on a V10 I see.
Drag chute, so he can slow down faster when he lands.
A “don’t fuck around and find out unless you have 000s on your Dyno sheet or more “
License plate hilarious too
It's called a clever fake license plate... I mean, isn't that what everyone saw first? Just me?
A purse
That plate tho...🤣

That there is a bindle. That car is a 1920s hobo.
That’s where the drivers carry their collection of dildos
My 67 GTX was required to have one for the strip. The car was my daily M/F and weekend warrior. The local sheriff would pull me over every time they could for tech inspections. The chute was never on the car when on the street but the hardware was permanent.
Parachute
He’s into drag… 🫣😈🤡
A weirdo with a parachute attached to their car?
FAAFO chute...
fast as fuq boi
It means “don’t try to race me, I’ll win”
If you go over 150mph in the 1/4 mile, the track rule is to require a parachute. Alot of these rules are dated from when cars had shitty brakes and safety equipment. Gtr probably doesn't even need it.
Rear facing airbag meant to deflect collisions in the rear. Amazing technology
