Seat Safety Switch posted:I'd be up for more episodes of them just dicking with a car in the garage instead of doing specific mods. This and their Cressida engine swap are my favorite videos. I love the whole "dorking around with a ratty, abused car" episodes. Another reason I enjoy RoadKill so much.

I bet if you recorded these at night with a night vision camera, it would resemble a shot of helicopter main rotor tips glowing from friction. Sand is just a different kind of lubricant, it'll be ok guys!

YOU THINK WE NEED YOU TO GIVE US PUBLICITY?!?!? You're talking to the main presenter and prima facie owner of the single largest-audience motoring show on the planet, which once replaced a brand new car with a tub of lard when a manufacturer wouldn't play ball, and simply bought their own when another did the same. Try me.Cat Terrist posted:I'd say that he'd be right, knowing that's pretty much standard procedure for car companies.

Just let us dial that in before you provide lap times, would you? Or we'll break your fuckin' legs."

KozmoNaut posted:I like Ferrari and I think they've made some awesome cars. Yeah, Ferrari and Lamborghini have the production mindset. They're all about refining the way they do things rather than taking big risks. Koenigsegg and Pagani seem like they look at something say "If we used a material which costs 3x as much and is twice as difficult to work with we could shave 1/5th the weight off of this and increase the torsional stiffness by 10NM... Lets do it!". Which I guess you can get away with when your customers don't seem to care how much they spend as long as they get the most insane vehicle out there. I guess when you've basically got a waiting list for every car you make it tends to inspire confidence.

Have you seen the specials that Drive are doing on Koenigsegg? They're hosted by Christian Von Koenigsegg and you really get an idea of just how detail-obsessed they are. They've posted 4 episodes so far out of 9 total. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=504I_hJDFck

I think the Pagani dashboard is the only steampunk-esque thing that really works for me. It is functional, yet so over the top it's fantastically absurd.

The Pagani's Victorian disco interior is there to remind you that you're in a retro spaceship with wheels, just in case you forgot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtcdifIG4rY Nelson's new low profile big block engine is a thing of beauty. If I had a big boat from the 60s in need of an engine and the cash, this is what I'd put in it.

Also watching this reminds me that the engine they use in the Koenigsegg is the ford Mod motor, I did a double take when I saw Lincoln Mark VIII cam covers made out of Cf.
