Killer car...the stereo looks like A$$ the way it is installed..

Seen the new Ford?

Outragous the EVO was only 5 seconds slower on the track. See that chart?

If they were 50K...they will never build enough...or create as many corpses!!!

Thank you. I haven't grinned that much in a while.

Now I know what a 600hp Elise looks like.

Cool they had a part of the film set up in a Ram Chamber. (where all body parts are open...notice the ram horn) If I recall correctly, this device measures ram air velocity for the rear of a fighter jet to see how much pressure is emmitted at different distances. I only saw one before..and it was in Europe when I was a child in 1965..

PS, That car is a boner.

Yes. Faster than Murcielago which is a brutally fast car. And to think I got into an argument with people on here when I said that the Evo wasn't suitable for the general US public...

Yes, I don't think people know what they are getting into with the EVO.

Murcielago (moreceelaago)....yep...way overpriced. (Vetts can be adapted to be as fast and as tight..for 140K less)

Another dangerously fast machine when it was introduced (like a dumb azz I bought one) was the V65 Magna Honda motorcycle (470lb) with its 115 hp water cooled 1100CC 4, quad carbs and a design speed of 173.

I ran sub 10's with that damn thing.

I think 0 to 60 was around a 3...3.2 or something like that. You could run a dunlop tire to cords in 200 miles of hard driving.

A kid with his 15th B day lisence was legal.

Speaking of a death machine..more than 20 times I simply ran out of road and really had to make a place to go...or die.

Fortunately. after 50K miles, we both had no mishaps but unfortunantly..(sob) I sold her to a fellow that lost his life 7 weeks later on her....could not handle it...a shame.

He was warned big time and rode on the back 200 miles with me to learn "do's and don'ts.

I regret the day I sold her...because of it..I still feel kinda guilty (post dramatic stress syndrome)

Did not matter.

Machines like this bite hard.


Damn they are fun while nibbeling.


Zonda wiped out...

Sad...real sad..

i also needed a video like that. man that was unbelievable. I am very curious about the evo even more now. I have a friend that works at car max and said that he tested the evo and just beat the hell out of it and asking for more. Kind of crazy. I wanted to punch him in the face because he test drives alot of nice cars.

I really hope soon I can get a camcorder and show you some of the things that go down at the track here. Once I do, you can see some of my action in a few different cars....fun city!

For the time being..
