that was kinda disappointing. sounded like he never even went full throttle, so who knows if he was getting the really fast shifts. nick'll be able to tell.

TT-RS exhaust clip

Didn't know where to put this since there is no video, but I put it here anyways because I don't feel it needs it's own thread.

And the Chassis and suspension are easily strong enough. Besides that's a small trailer.

Onboard footage of Ken Block during a rally in Missouri.

http://vimeo.com/3781533

Notice the little green bar (throttle amount) during most of the video.

cant figure it out yourself? you know what the FXX-program is more or less right?

those few who take part in this program arent all former F1 drivers. they can have all sorts of driving-skills. hence the "rape". maybe the others were just doing their out-lap. maybe they're afraid. maybe the fast driver is an official ferrari test driver.... could be many things why it is like that.

Just check out the lines of the other drivers. End of the first lap, last corner... How wide the guy infront went...
Definitely no professionals.
Especially compare how hard he takes the curbs in the chicanes.

oh i thought the FXX drivers were for talented drivers...i guess now i remember its just for loyal ferrari collectors or whatever. i imagine its hard to drive them though, i just didnt expect so much rape. the dude is running circles around everyone.

Apparently the guys at www.supercarmovies.com are getting their hands on a Zonda R. They've released a little teaser. Nothing too exciting, no motion shots or engine sounds, but any new footage of a Zonda is good footage.

OK, I only just found this thread. It seems like I miss a lot of threads, so what is people's methodology for keeping current? If I just use my email notification links, obviously I only get notified of additions to threads I've already posted to. If I use the "View posts since your last visit" homepage link I get more, but I definitely don't ever see some threads, like this one, maybe due to some anomaly between what "last visit" means.

So what do OP do?


And as for the video, he must've just gotten the car. The wheel lights are the most tell-talle sign: he never gets more than 3 lit, and it doesn't sound like he's flooring it. At 2:30 it sounds like he's flooring it from the combo of sound and rate of acceleration, but the wheel never lights up, so he's not even doing 6000rpm.

Anyway, here's a video I shot of the Red Scud getting delivered the other day:


Red Scud FSV


And a 360 with some aftermarket exhaust so Cale can continue arguing about how realistic exhausts sound on crappy video... :wink:

360 w/aftermarket exhaust idling

I'm basically 24/7 on apex. I know every single post. I know everything about every apexian. I know what time which apexian is offline for some wanking. I know which sites Stephen visits to get his homo-dates. I know what Eric turns on (lemonparty.org). I know that Andrew jacks off at fully detail shots of computer internals.
