Nice!

 

Hey guys.

damn..A few more inches and the tree would have been whispering sweet nothings not his ear...

 

So many things come to mind when watching that video...

Drifting...youre doing it wrong.

Touge monster.

Smh.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

 

^Hahaha

 

this is why i dont do that **** on the street no more. silly silly.

 

fixed all the non-sense.

 

You guys do know thats not me right? That video is old anyhow, 2006. How can you compare that though? The sedan driver was obviously a dumbass. If you look at the hatch it is going pretty slow and not pushing it through the corners.

 

Jeff you will have to change my member number to what ever I trap this year!

Btw- since I'm a new member, Do I need to introduce myself?

 

how can you tell the sedan was a dumbass? cause the bump he hit lifted the rear of the car? i think driving like that on a public street makes anyone a dumb ***.

deal and not really since brappy is still the newest member.

 

I never said it was you. Comparable in many ways fella.

Tight two lane road lined with trees thru semi rural/residential area with elevation changes and blind spots. Anything can happen man. Fast forward to 1:03 in the SHG hatch vid and you'll see that when he crests the hill with the telephone pole...he has to counter steer. Basically the same situation with the sedan...just less control in the driver seat. Just sayin'.

If that was my neighborhood and I saw it going on...I'd chase them down real quick and let them know my take on the situation.

 

Well said Gabe.

 

RIP.

 

Raw talent. The movie was amazing. Brad have you watch Love the beast?

 

Parts of Beauty and the Beast, yes. Love the beast, no.

 

But- If you chased them down, you would be doing the exact same thing they were doin right?

Everyone has played around on the streets, and most still do even though they want to be against it. I admit, its hard to not push it a little bit on the streets every once in awhile. Obviously it can be done if you know your limits (when to let it eat, where to slow down, being aware of your surroundings, etc). Most of the time people get carried away just like the 4 door in the video. Had he have known his surroundings he would have thought- Well speed + turning + elevation change= Upset suspension and would have known to slow down. "Spirited" driving and driving like an idiot are definitely two different things. I dont plan on opening it up on the streets, but I'm sure it will happen once in awhile.

Last year opened my eyes a little bit. Its not worth hurting/killing myself or someone else just to get a little rush out on the streets. It wasnt too big of a deal before when I had the Cobalt or when my hatch was only making 400ish. Even though the hatch moved out pretty decent even at that power, both cars were still "predictable".

Last year making over 600whp the car was a whole different animal. You dont realize it at the time but you really cover alot of ground when you accelerate from 60-140 within a matter of 5-6 seconds. To the flip side of that, it takes a whole lot longer to slow down..

 

if you have netflix watch it.....pretty cool movie. Its about some famous dude and his love of cars and to race them. Its pretty rad....kinda like some of us in some ways, just we arnt that ballin.

 

Seemed like everyone on Facebook, yesterday, was blowing up the FF Squad video. Good video, but how about some great racing from last weekend.

What does FF squad or whatever mean anyway?



I always hear FF but never know what ppl are talking about...

Fast and Furious?

 

True...and I'd probably end up in a tree because of my lack of real world Forza experience.

I admit I've cut loose on public streets in the past and from time to time here and there...however...not to the extent that it looks like I'm driving my tail off around the Nürburgring for 2-3 minutes down a residential street.

 

FF= front engine/front wheel drive
