Physics

Everything can be hacked.  Loopholes exist to be exploited.  Anyone who thinks otherwise just isn’t motivated enough to expand the definition of impossible.  The engineers who work at NISMO® understand this.  Their understanding passed beyond the theoretical with the introduction of the R35 GT-R that flaunted its disregard for the laws of physics.
The Porsche 911 GT2 in the background should be afraid.  The Nismos are coming!
You know the track.

Morpheus showed us the way with his colored pills.  Ever since then I’ve looked at the world from a different perspective.  It was true when he said that it wasn’t possible to go back.  What has been seen and experienced cannot be unseen, unless you have access to AcMo Memory Wipes®.

The laws of physics have been weighing on me lately because I’m trying to break them to become faster on and off the track.  I saw this tweet the other day which made me question the legitimacy of my quest:  @neiltyson: "You can neither cajole nor charm the laws of physics into agreeing with you if your ideas aren't based in objective realities".

I disagree, homeboy.  I disagree.  I most humbly submit that this Neil Tyson guy may not know as much about laws of physics as he thinks he does.  AcMo has been charming the laws of physics for years and surviving to tell the tale.  I can assure you that our ideas have never been based in objective realities.  What now, Neil Tyson?

Nissan has been guilty of major repeated felonies against physics since the debut of the aforementioned R35 GT-R.  Their crimes have gone mental with the introduction of the 2015 GT-R NISMO.  This car does unspeakable things to physics before it has even reached operating temperature.


This is the epitome of breaking several laws of physics all displayed in this nice infographic.

Mass, downforce, frontal area, drag coefficient, power, and the nut behind the wheel all have to be accurate to achieve real scary speed.  These elements had never been jumbled mashed up in the manner Nissan did with this car.  What in theory should have cracked under the immense pressure of concentrated mass hasn’t.  All laws pointed to failure according to the experts, but the numbers probably aren’t lying.  Instead of rest on their improbable accomplishment, they’ve taken their physics mockery to an entirely higher plane with the new LMP1-H GT-R LM.  But that’s a post for another day.  Despite all of its impossible speed, I still don’t desire one.

Check.  It’s your move Neil Tyson.  The evidence before you is just a small sampling of the data AcMo has compiled.  I know how easily juries become bored and then tune out when things get technical, so I will only bring out additional data if it appears that my jury tampering has been unsuccessful.  I will assume that Neil Tyson can’t create a reasonable argument if he doesn’t respond, and will concede defeat without releasing a press statement or tweet.
