That is a rare scenario of a twisty highway that is over limited. Those Ferrari's are going twice as fast as the traffic! You couldn't drive twice as fast as traffic on roads like that unless the speed limit was really low. Or maybe I'm complete wrong and those Ferrari's are going 140-150mph.

Heh I was just going to post this. It is a very good video with pretty awful music. It would be awesome with just the car music.

Highlights for me was at 3:00 the ST185 hover car, at about 4:50 the mechanic holding the enormous Quattro turbo + piping and the Citroen DS running a questionable route at the very end.

My favorite was the in car stuff around 6mins, the celica swamp monster, and that crazy DS. That DS looked smooth as glass going through that field.

Wouldn't his timing also have to be hosed to blow out all those flames? It sounded like it was half-stalling.

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip and come on up to the mothership.
He's injecting the fuel into the exhaust directly. If it were mixture you'd see the black smoke/soot coming out. It's possible the exhaust gas is hot enough to ignite the fuel, or he could be running a wasted spark ignition, or he's just got a second set of spark plugs stuck in the exhaust. None of this is new, hot rods have been shooting flames for 3/4 of a century.

edit: It's half stalling because he has the idle set super low to get those big flames. Notice when he turns on the flames at a normal idle they're smaller, because the fuel is blown away and dispersed.

That right there is probably a propane setup, sitting inside the lil bed out back. A spark setup in the zoomies probably wouldn't shoot flames that high, but it may.

Can't that be achieved with extra spark plugs on the exhaust?

Yes, but you'd need to be running that particular car so rich that it would just die getting flames that big. It's either running a secondary fuel line to dump extra fuel in the pipes, or a propane setup. Besides, those are zoomies, he'd need 8 plugs.

Most people run plugs in dual exhaust. Zoomies would be a bit excessive.

I guess that's what you do if the real car can't cut the mustard. It is really awesome, though. Hopefully won't lead to ricer kids poke their wheels.

I was thinking "this really looks like a Nissan ad." It reminded me of the ads they had a few years ago with the Barbie / Ken dolls. Was slightly disappointed to find out I was right. Still pretty cool though.
