drat. Still, I suppose flying through the air in an M5 at a high rate of speed is a relatively good way to go.

I lack the skills to work it out, but given an 80ft starting height and a 200ft covered distance, how fast would that be given the weight of the car.

Regardless of the weight of the car, it's 32.2 ft/s2.

So yeah, I do have some skillz, and I'm gettin kinda tired of people calling me out.

I'm pretty fuckin modest. I rarely speak about my own talents. When I do, I don't exaggerate.

You are arrogant and come across as spoiled on the forums, and overly-aggressive, not to mention inconsistent on the track. You may think you have God's own can handling "skillz", but I've seen a hundred other amateur racers who're just as good. I've seen a couple of your videos, and in every single one, EVERY ONE, your aggressive nature on the track has led to an incident. Hell, you loving spun another car in the second half of those PIR videos you posted. You could have had him on the preceding lap, SAFELY, if you hadn't gotten so excited by being close to him that you hosed the corner entry and had to recover.

If you were racing in any real series where it cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix the damage from your little "incidents", or where the course officials could fine you as much for your antics, you'd be singing a different tune, and I'm sure that the sponsors or your team would be putting pressure for the same. You may have brought home some finishes, but that doesn't make you the next big thing.

Sure, you can put it all down to the fact that "everyone in AI's just JEALOUS 'cause I'm LIVIN' THE DREAM!". Sure, I'll admit it, I'm jealous. I'd love to have mommy-and-daddy give me the money to race for a season instead of going to college. I'd love mommy-and-daddy's friends to "sponsor" me for racing, too. But just because nobody else in AI has been fortunate enough to had a year's racing paid for by Pop doesn't mean everyone here is talentless or too scared to go waste their professional lives trying to be a racer.

When you post the typical, immature poo poo like "LAWLS DRIFTIN' ROUND A ROUDABOUT IN MAH RACECAR!!" that is quite obviously frowned upon here in AI, don't piss and moan about how nobody respects you because you're young. The reason nobody respects you is because you are, as I said earlier, an arrogant, mediocre, coddled, spoiled 20 year old who has yet to face life's realities and will, if he's lucky, have a career racing professionally, to be thereafter referred to as "traffic ahead" on all the sportscasts when you get lapped by the truly talented drivers.

Your asinine attempts to refute accusations that you are just that, a talentless footnote, are even more pathetic due to how obviously you're overlooking the fact that you are being teased for being a gigantic human being with an overinflated ego, not for being without talent. You're not being teased for saying "I can drift my Miata around a lightpole with only 6 inches clearance!", you're being teased because you think that there aren't a hundred million other people in the world that can do that. I know it comes as a gigantic shock, but you are not pretty and unique snowflake. You are just another loving slob.

Also, that makes me want to buy a S2k.

The guy in the S2K is Keiichi Tsuchiya, and yes he is a superior driver compared to the guy in the S15. Amusing to note, the interior shot of the S15 shows a HKS sticker on the dash and a Kei Office sticker on the dash, Kei Office being Keiichi Tsuchiya's tuning company. I believe this is from a Japanese car show called "Hot Version". Here's a video of "The Drift King" from over 20 years ago. Here is some of the stuff he does nowadays.

The show is actually called Best Motoring, with an alternate title of Hot Version. It's more of a subtitle. Like Pinks all out as opposed to Pinks.

Edit: They have a video link of them testing and I think doing a time attack of the GTR here

Actually Best Motoring and Hot Version are two different shows, Hot Version being a spin-off of Best Motoring. I believe that BM focuses mainly on stock cars and HV is for highly performance-tuned cars. I've got about 5 BM DVDs and two HV, I day I will rip them and upload to AITV. Below are some BM/HV clips.

I was just thinking about that engine. It's a new designed, 50cc 50 HP rotary engine. Think about that, the engine is 1000HP/liter. If you had 20 of them chained together (like the chainsaw engine bike earlier) you would have the same HP as a Veyron.

I can never decide if that landing was skill or luck, although it looks like he consciously waited until he was back over the net again before cutting power, but who knows.

I'm going to have to go with "no". Looks like the rolling of the boat lifted him off the deck a bit with a forward angle on his collective, he started to come forward, got scared (who wouldn't?), pulled back on the stick and hit his tail rotor on the deck, halting it. Then the helo rotates around (since tail rotor is stopped) and as soon as he's facing open sea the drops all angle on the blades and the helo drops to the deck.

It's a no poo poo fact that a small turbocharged engine can be just as capable, but it hasn't been done here before by anyone for this application. They're proving to their customer base that the new engine is not only decent, it does better in multiple applications and doesn't matter that it isn't a V8.

As I wrote in the Youtube comments section, it's a desperate attempt to undo years of advertising that said "only a V8 engine is good enough" now that a V8 can't/wont meet CAFE standards.

The marshall's slotted him in 6th instead of where he qualified, 7th (or he slotted himself wrong). The car that was supposed to be 6th was in the 7th slot, so he waved the 6th qualifier in front of him. The Marshall then jumped in front of the pov car and blocked him because who the gently caress knows why.

Because if you wave someone in front of you it's because you're unable to proceed for some reason; a mechanical fault or whatever. So you are moved to the back of the pack, even if your issue is resolved before then. Basically, waving someone in front of you forfeits your slot.
