No...? He's not a professional, as stated. Are you aware of what a 2.7 acceleration from 0-60 feels like? My guess is you have to be completely unaffected by it to get everything out of the machine, and the everyday driver would be anything but.

It kind of looks like there's a minor up-slope in the road, which would affect the cars a good bit.

Maybe the tires and road surface are cold, too.

Well holy poo poo I never expected to see this again. Early last year I did some design work on installing radiation detectors at Ulan Bator and railroad border crossings. I don't know if they've installed them yet, but if you went through any radiation detectors you can blame me.

The front is maybe a tiny bit overdone, but the overall shape looks really, really good. The beltline isn't hideous because that long door profile, it just looks completely unexpected. I love if when the Japanese make fast cars.

I agree on the overall shape, especially the profile, but that front-end really doesn't belong. Especially the little "fangs" at the corners, that's standard tuner body-kit fare and looks out of place.

The engine makes up for all of this though, sweet mother mercy.

Article that goes into some depth about the Mini - Porsche challenge. Of particular note is this:

quote:

So why would Porsche hesitate? Well, a bunch of reasons. First, Mini laid out the course, which doesn’t cover all of Road Atlanta but is an autocross track with lots of tight turns and few straightaways to pick up speed.

“We stacked the deck a little,” Davis said.

Dude just hanging out with the yellow pants leaning on the machine trying to look like maybe he's earning some sort of pay, with his hands going through the beam with a giant (NO HANDS) sticker is pretty classic. 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.

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.

V12s are cool and all but really they have a couple of major flaws.

1) Two times too many cylinders.

2) Not near enough angle between the banks.

I think we can find the solution.

Early 70's were not a prime time for automotive safety, and many people still believed it was better to be thrown from the car in a collision.

What's the story here? Something on the track? Just looks like a lot of people completely blowing it right there.

Either that or it's just a bunch of people going too fast their first day on the track.

The Nurburgring is dangerous, cars in the 70's were unsafe, and driver training probably nonexistent. Witch's brew of badness right there.

Sounds about right, from a few shots with two cars sliding at the same time it looked like there just had to be some sort of spill on the track.

I like the guy in the 914 at 6:20 though, does exactly the right thing when he realizes that he's going too fast for the turn.
