  1. I've driven the GT-R several times, it is definitely a rocket ship, but not particularly exciting. It sounds like shit and the twin clutch gearbox is a bore IMO
  2. Hasn't been an issue thus far.
  3. Someone caught some video of me going through the hills today. I never really heard the car from the outside before .

    Protein!

  6. Obviously the article is about being a drivers car, and fun to drive, not which is fastest around a track. The M3 is represented by the E30 and E46 on their list (surprised they picked the 46 over the 36 though). Corvettes, despite being fast, are not known for being particularly communicative to the driver and the foreign press has always complained about the cars poor chassis tuning for their roads. Seems I picked well though http://www.mjswebgallery.com/carz2/images/_MJS4451_V4.TIF.jpg .

    I heard from the guy I had met at the show, and pointed him to the Seven sites. I gave him your email Ron, I hope you don't mind. I believe this is his S2

    I gave the guy my card, so hopefully he will contact me. I told him about you. I saw the car briefly back in December at a charity event and have some pics on my phone I can upload later, it is in similar condition to how you found yours.

    It was at the Culver City Car show yesterday. They close down the whole downtown area for the show, there was about 500 cars there, though mostly custom and American cars, so the Seven was pretty unique That's actually an Acme vendor tent not a storefront, their booth was behind me (bought a shirt from them) I did meet someone who has an S2 Seven and lives around the corner from me.

  12. Same guy in the 175 but view from a chase car which is a fully prepped Evo 8 with nearly 400hp caterham csr175 chase on Vimeo .
  13. Smooth is boring :devil: .
  14. You mean like this? Better take two pills .
  15. While cycling along the beach a while back ago I came across this guy
  16. Ah, agreed. Watched again and everyone else is going really slow. Interestingly I am going to a Ferrari F1 Corsa Cliente event at the end of the month, we'll see if they actually "drive" the cars .
  17. Huh? Did you only watch the first couple of minutes where he is warming it up? By the end he is pushing at least 7-8/10ths and it isn't his car and it is not exactly something you want to ball up...http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif .

  19. I'm 5'9" 180lbs, size 9 shoe and have no issues fitting into my S3 and my car has the tight composite race shell seats, nor do I have a problem with the pedal box being too tight http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif It is tight around the shoulders and for shifting when I have a passenger in the car, but it's not very often I have passengers in the car. .
  20. I don't know if he is still doing it, and I have no experience or association with him, but you can try Rich Kamp at Kampena Motors in Sonoma http://www.eskimo.com/~rkamp/index.html .
  21. My friend banged up a Ferrari 599 a couple of years ago while testing the car in Italy. They were setting up a slide shot and while setting up for the corner, a local "car paparazzi" jumped out of the bushes and he briefly lost his concentration (this part got cut from the story) http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/06q3/2006_ferrari_599gtb_fiorano-first_drive_review Ferrari was very cool about it and quickly supplied them with another car. They later gave us another 599 to test here in the States and he and I took it on a nice two day road trip into the mountains. (I managed to scuff the front spoiler on a curb while parking it) Shit happens, but no one wants to be that guy. We still give Aaron a hard time for this though, when this video was posted the other day, guess who the first person I sent it to was? :jester: . .
  22. The lateral-g site I posted earlier has most of the California roads listed with nice maps and descriptions as well
  23. There are literally hundreds of roads like that all over CA http://www.lateralg.org/roads/roads.htm .
