Understood... just thinking with all that power, in a straight line, it would be hard to get the quickest time without a little help. Probably should have a seperate class for "no driver assist" to identify the fast cars from fast drivers.

"self preservation" & a 600hp 7 don't go together;)

With that much power, what do you think about some kind of traction control system? Like this perhaps: http://www.racelogic.co.uk/

Some familiar ones... If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he doesn't like it, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

looks like fun.... I keep getting error message for the first one though

Maybe someday I'll be good enough that flipping the shocks over will improve my performance;)

Welcome. Car looks pretty cool.... how do you squeeze past all those bars to get in;)

The other day I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions. I told the lady at the desk that I invented a folding bottle. She asked me what I called it. "A Fottle," I said. "What else do you have?" "A folding carton." "What do you call it?" "A Farton." She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude." I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket

I salute you... brave soul.

Very nice!!!

Looks like something Austin Powers would drive;)

I wonder if a slipper clutch (more and more sportbikes are coming with them) would work... that would make downshifting a no brainer.

When your too old to drive a 7 anymore you can always do this LiveLeak.com - Old people pull pranks

You better hurry. Not sure if it'll fit in a 7 but... http://home.comcast.net/%7Esteveham21/turbo.mpg

Did you notice that Muira with what looks like off-road nerfbars on the front (7th pic)? Funny

Too be honest, the passenger seat in the S2K has pretty much the same limitation - driver can be a fat tub of lard though;)

I like having 2 seats so someone else can enjoy the ride too

Jeez! I thought it was a brake light check.... thickness of rotors? Man, I guess living in hicksville does have some benefits.

I think all us old sportbike guys agree on using the clutch to take off and downshift. For a while now, there's been electronic kits that let you keep the throttle pinned and cut the spark for a split second while upshifting... recently saw one that even allows downshifting without the clutch (revs up the motor to match lower gear automatically). That might be what Hank is talking about.

There's quite a few "flat" colors out there nowadays.... My 67 truck was flat blue during the time I learned that I can't do bodywork either.

He has two cars there that I've lusted after for years... the GT40 (kit or new edition) and an Ultima (prefer closed cab though). http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/Video.aspx?f=videos Man after my own heart

Well I think I'm the only other road-going S2K in California.... would of loved to be there.

Welcome.... from a former "wingnut". I think we're all drooling over that front cowl;)

As a passenger, I got the pleasure of a short trip thru the gears in Kevin's car. I didn't put on the seatbelt as his wife is quite a bit smaller than me and it was going to be a short ride (though I noticed Kevin put his on... probably out of habit). With the new slicks I swore the front tires were going to come off the ground as the rear tires struggled for grip... he quickly went thru the gears; shifted from 4th to 5th in about the same time he did first to second! I think it was faster than my sportbike in the 50 to 100 range! All I could think of was how far I'd fly if he lost control. Scared the heck out of me..... but after a while I wanted to feel that speed again;)
