what in the ever-loving gently caress.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11687nVdzdk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFNnXOAAhWI from the description: quote:This is Nick Manns self designed and built Mannic Beattie. It is powered by a Ford BDA engine, driven by a Turbo which is itself powered by an auxiliary power unit (APU) which keeps the turbo spinning at full boost all the time. The 7 keeps going, and going.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_t8lVDt2RM I've watched this about 10 times today. Idiot ricer thinks he's going to move his Civic by putting it in a U-Haul. Never mind his poorly thought out plan, the ramps that are never going to work, or the fact that U-Haul rents a loving car trailer for $30. Even better, this guy completes the douche trifecta by yelling at his girlfriend as if it's her fault.

Why wouldn't they just try to slowly go up the ramps? Wouldn't that be a better idea? Or does it not run?

I mentioned it in the AIest thread: the uhaul has nothing that looks like tie downs inside of it. The video description is also gold "yah brah this thing is fast, just needs an engine"

Seat Safety Switch posted:I wonder if the thing is limited mechanically or just by his ability to keep the car under control. Based on how it pulls out of the paddock in that first video it must be super lightweight. The in-car looks pretty hairy to me. Either way that guy has separate P.O. boxes for his balls.

CharlieWhiskey posted:...ran the numbers quick, and this thing will take 4 miles to accelerate to 1000mph, right? assume average speed of 500 mph over those four miles (ie, constant acceleration), that's about 29 seconds zero-to-1000 mph. Watch/ listen to the "in-car" camera with Andy Green in the Thrust SSC ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL77yBUOZhQ ) . Things happen frighteningly fast, and Green is obviously tremendously exerted by the challenge of keeping the car on line. Up the ante by 73% (I'm taking the ratio of the velocity squared, or the approx kinetic energy ratios of the two cars), and it seems nearly impossible. I presume stability controls will have advanced to make this feasible.

it's not hard to emulate the shaking involved in ABS braking (which is what happens on the ride) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYqE4soQQbg&feature=related I enjoy this video.

I guess some things are universal. I had a manager who worked with a guy who had nearly taken the same finger off in the same conveyor two different times. The first time he was trying to point out something interesting about the conveyor on a tour, the second time he was showing someone else in the plant how he hurt his finger. People are capable of some monstrously stupid things.

That was drat near as entertaining as the Peugeot "Climb Dance" film, and that's saying a hell of a lot; especially considering the route's been paved since. Getting a 911 sideways on a dust-covered road in a hairpin has to be a bit of a white-knuckle moment.

So far as I'm concerned no car video will ever out-entertain or out-excite the yellow bird on the ring. I'm sure it's been posted a dozen times, but gently caress it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9jj8YGQWGA edit: I still can't get through a hot lap of the ring in the Ruf BTR in GT4. Maybe I need a steering wheel and not just a controller, but gently caress if I'd have the balls to ever try it in real life. Dave Inc. fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jul 27, 2010 |

That's an old one, but a great one. That BTR layed down some serious power at the time, 430bhp IIRC. I love the way most times initial turn in leads straight into a slide/oversteer and you have to meter the power until it's staight again, then MASH IT! It's a good thing the motor's back there, of it would've never caught. I'm gonna go recreate the Yellow bird on Forza III and see what time's she'll run. Only on the worst tires of course, no cheating...
