Someone a few weeks ago was wanting to know how far a Discovery can go before it would roll. Well, it will go at least this far. Im not sure on the angle, but its a scary one.

Well, the last time I did this for that Hummer, I ran into a problem getting a source for 0 degrees but I just used the dash in the picture for this one. Seems close, 33 is getting there.

This picture really doesn't do the situation any justice. Young Jedi Will Roeder with the Lev-O-Guage maxed out though

Eric, from the point of view of the camera, it is looking a bit down, so the actual angle is somewhat larger than that - about 37 deg (in my photogrammetrically untrained eye). unlifted stock d1 is supposed to have 42 degrees static rollover angle. |
