"African Turbo" shot during the 1982 Dakar Rally is one of my favorite automobile racing videos, with a Renault R20 Turbo battling competitors (such as a Lada Niva) and local hazards in North Africa. It's a classic of guts and hairy-chested determination over polished high-budget corporate racing.

I used to watch bits of these on the news as a kid, and would tell everyone that when I grew up I'd be in a Niva some day doing Paris to Dakar.

Also here's a video of my dream car. A V8 KGB special limited production run Volga. In the other videos it loses to a TT and a WRX, but who gives a poo poo.

That is cool as poo poo. The chase cam "in-car" shots are loving awesome.

God, I gotta remind myself that there's no way I could afford one of these right now and there's no point anyway and it's nowhere near as much fun to drive in real life as it looks in videos and I don't have any car geek friends to race against but I want one IwantoneIwantoneIwantone.

What, exactly, do you think the 2000 Cobra R was? I'll tell you this, it wasn't a regular Mustang. Hell, they didn't have a radio or AC, they came with a magnesium intake on top or a worked over 5.4L DOHC v8 that you cannot buy from anyone, 13" Brembos, wind-tunnel designed rear spoiler and front splitter, no rear seat, roll bar, 5 point harness, etc...

Yeah but you can tell right away the car in that video is definitely not a stock Cobra R. It is something far more serious.

Thanks motortrend.com... That's not a stock Cobra R though, at all. I mean hell the dashboard isn't even original anymore. Took me all of 2 seconds into the video to realize that.

This video had what appeared to be PVC piping used for rear tires, which would make that component relatively cheap. I don't know about the rest of the costs of Nitro RC cars. Best I ever had was a 4WD Tamiya electric, and I got bored of charging the batteries for 20 minutes and playing for 5.

Sprint cars are so insane.. Those poor drivers have to spend the whole race highly strung and countersteering through the corners. Blah.

The best is when they do the freestyle stuff at the end. Wheelies, donuts, pretty much anything you can think of.
