which supercar did you see??? was this in ottawa?

 

It wasn't about paint. He was trying to knock the rain loose from his car.




Leigh probably thought he was a demon with the way he kept vanishing whenever he got in your car.

"You don't have holy water?! Gimme some chicken then!"




Cuz it can pull on an Enzo?

I didn't get a single still of it, so we'll have to wait for the video.




What is rotary love? <- click that, you n00bs

 

5.7l v10? supercharged? sounds like maybe a ford gt?

 

It was a Porsche Carrera GT

 

Just want to give my own thanks to Will and Stacy for their hospitality, and to Jason for giving me a ride on the cruise. Thanks for Carrey for giving me a ride to go get some much needed hamburger patties. Last but not least i guess i'll thank John and Nik on behalf of everyone who's engine they compression test. Shame on you all for not giving them beer.
Actually it's probably a good thing no one did since they argue worse than a married couple on their 50 anni.!!

This cruise was still a blast despite the weather, made for some high-heart rate moments i wouldn't have expirienced if Jason was driving on dry pavement! And i guess it brought everyone closer together under the umbrellas

Hope to see everyone at the next big meet! Or on Wednesday!!

 

Well, you never saw Nik stumbling around calling everyone 'FAGBOTs' at the Cottage Meet. It takes maybe 3 cans of Stiegel before he turns pure newb...

 

eVilRotor knows his Supercars!! It was indeed a Porsche Carrera GT! The machine is beautiful, no doubt. I would take it over the Enzo because of the manual gearbox it's got. None of this flappy paddel BS!!
And that scream!! Almost as good as Ferrari's screaming engines!!!

Can't wait for the vid!! You'll see all our reactions, espcially the brown guys one!!!

Lates,

 

Neo taking a Porsche over a Ferrari??

well you probably know, but it's not so much of a flappy paddel shifter...it takes less than 150 milliseconds for it to shift, and in between it will actually adjust the dampers and engine output to make shifts even faster and seemless...or so they say. i will most likely never experience one so it's hard to say if it is better or not.

but the Carrera GT is a wicked car...someone get the video up!

 

I can do just the coverage of the Carrera easily enough. Right now, getting it off the camera is the prob. Won't happen 'til Thursday or Friday at the earliest. But it will happen soon.

 

The video has been dl'ed. Should have the Carrera clip up by the end of the weekend.

 

as much as i like manual shifting, the padel shifting is pretty sweet never have to take your hands off the wheel and it shifts just as fast if not faster then i could ever shift...

to clarify this is on amg's not porshe or ferrari but i'm guessing it would be pretty damn similar

 

I had a ride around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in a Ferrari 575M, and the paddle shifter was great! No lags, no jerkiness, just smooth crisp up and down shifts. The only weird part was remembering to drop it into neutral before you come to a complete stop, or the engine stalls!

 

Here's the Carrera: http://media.putfile.com/Carrera-GT-...awa---May-2006

 

What was that one song called?

 

thats just hilarious

 

man that is scary how they are looking at me...hahaha.

and that Carrera GT looks/sounds awesome. you guys were lucky to happen upon that.

 

Yes! Fawken sick!!!!!

 

Do you think I can sue Rich for whiplash?

 

LOL... Nice... My favorite part:

"It's got power windows, A/C..."

WOOP-DE-FREAKING-DO!!! Tell me about the variocam, or the multidisk clutch, or how it reacts to drop throttle at mid turn. Don't tell me it goes feature for feature with my 20k Protege5!

 

spoken like a true "egg hater" (neo style)

he know shiat about the car aside from what the dealer told him or what he read on the window sticker!! (of course I know even less....)

 

Man, you guys really hate supercars, huh???

The guy was really cool about us examining the car from head to toe. He was listing those particular features because somebody brought up a comparison between the Enzo and his GT. The guy did test drive an Enzo (a buddy of his) but he found the GT more comfortable.
Of course this had nothing to do with the fact he owned 3 other Porsches...

I think if I guy can afford something as extravagant as a Carrera GT, he won't care about any technical details. All he knows is the car is a limited run, very few people will own one, and he's lucky enough to afford one.

Personally, between the Enzo and the GT, I would take the GT. Yes, that's right, I would take the GT. Simply because of the gearbox!! I was never a fan of flappy padel gearboxes. Yes, I know it'll get you around the track faster, but it's not very involving. I'd understand if I'm going to be racing a car all the time on the track I'll definately take the flappy padel. But on the street a good old-fashion manual gearbox works best!

Keep in mind we're comparing current supercars. Ideally I would take a Ferrari F50!! Can't get more F1-for-the-street than the F50!!!

Amur,
I love that Gif!!! lol

 

Hey L'eaquhui 'izatae, did you have fun at my sisters party? I heard you met some nice girl there (Cristina?)...

 

words travels fast eh?

your sister had gummy bears and those little teddy shaped cookies!! awsome party!! and some drink I call "shangrila" but it's called something different, made with juices and Shiraz. we played some nintendo, I fell asleep, then when I woke we played some Uker (sp?) my partner and I won the 2 games.

I decided I didn't want my bike parked downtown TO at night, so I rode home at 2:00am. that red bull I had before I left helped a lot!!

you missed a fun party

 

'member when I told you Saturday that I'd wanted to work on a .gif on Friday night b4 the firewire card scrambled my computer?
