Has anyone seen the video (I forget where I got it from) of the red 4 rotor fd that first does a burnout on the track and ends up about 1/8 or so the way down. Then proceeds to get an insane launch and appears to be around 180 or so in 3rd. My question is if anyone has seen it why did this car not have a parachute? Maybe it looks faster than it really is or there could also be a very long braking area. Just wondering.

 

Yea, that video is the ****

 

umm.. can someone post the vid?

 

you can right click and save as, or just open it up in internet explorer, it will be a quick time in internet explorer and wmv if you download it. http://www.cede.psu.edu/~pts116/www/4rotorfd.mpeg

WOW. Is that like sped up or is that the actual speed. If that is i dont think there is anything that can keep up with it

 

^ You better belive that that is it's actual speed. Fast, huh?

 

that thing sounds like a daymn indycar

Awesome. I know I'm a newbie, but would this be a good example of:

The RX-7 can NEVER lose!

 

OMG........... That FD is insane!!! ANybody know if its n/a or not?

 

anyone seen that vid of the rx7 drag car? the 1000 hp one i think. the video had it and a supra looking drag car lined up on the strip...i think, it was faster than that, not by much though

 

Yes it is n/a

Are you talking about Abel's old FD drag car?

i dont remember whos it was or anything, i know that it was really really powerful, white, and looked like a drag car(long and ugly )
it was a short vid, but i was just saying if youve seen it you know how fast it was, and it was fast

 

man i need to change my shorts now. i want my car to sound like that.

 

does anyone know that guys et on that run?

 

The ET on that was 10.69 @ 129mph.

I have an article on that ride if anyone wants it.

 

Doesn't sound unlike this Ferrari 360...

I was hoping the 4 rotor video was the long one of Scoot's 4 rotor driving at night.

 

Errr I may have that one let me check. I have a couple of their vids.

- Steiner

 

I do not have that specific Scoot video. If anyone has it they can e-mail it to me and I'll host it.

- Steiner

 

Okay, that Modena sounds SWEET! For a rotary head, even that gets the blood moving.

 

regardless of of whatever you may be biased towards, if the sound of a ferrari engine doesn't get the blood moving, there is a problem haha

 

Thats a good old Kiwi built car! Its NA - awesome aye!

 

Nothing is as pretty-sounding as a Ferrari motor. You've gotta love it.

The 4-rotor has to be the rudest, meanest, nastiest, sounding thing on the planet. You've gotta love it.

 

I've got a few Scoot videos on my site. You can mirror them if you like.
Videos can be found here.

Check my page for the video. Should be on the bottom right.

 

that sounds awesome!!!
