I generally keep my love of cars and car stuff off the boards, so you know I wouldn't make a thread unless it was pretty awesome.

You can skip the first minute if you don't want to watch the intro stuff but it shows some pretty interesting stuff.

I like it. I still want an American Focus RS though, damn it.

EDIT:

Autodromes are also badass.

Focus RS is a sweet car (the Euro one).

I will no longer, periodically, scream at really slow moving M/V operators in the left lane to stop driving like an individual of French heritage.

I wonder what they could do with the Interceptor.

So, I don't care about cars at all... but I stared at this, and went 'Whoa' quite a few times.

EDIT: I also said 'Huh' a few times.

P.S. EDIT: Can't he just hit the guy on the Segway? That guy bugs me.

rofl, yeah that guy needed to be 70 years older by the way he was moving.

I understand they needed someone that was black though, instead of a paladin with 18 charisma with 97 hit points and a +5 holy avenger.

EDIT: WOW, obscure reference by me.

Ken Block had a pretty nasty run on a 'playground' on Top Gear, but this one is indeed better...

That was fucking incredible!

I work at a racetrack with 12 degree banking and when you drive it it feels like the car is going sideways if you're not used to it. I can't imagine 51 degree banking. That's awesome.

That guy has skilz, for sure. The car does nothing for me though. Sounds like it's going to explode the whole time... I can't imagine the engine lasts much longer than the tires.

I really like the old muscle cars sound over anything today.

There is something to be said for slow and lumpy, but you can't get a car today to sound like those old muscle cars because they revved SO slow.

The Challenger does okay. I wish it wasn't so bloated and dull to drive.
