I didn't realize the Gumball 3000 was an illegal race across America!! I am not flaming, I don't agree with it, but it is pretty sweet.

Chris - who thought the Gumball 3000 was a track race!

 

**** gumball ownz me, id love to race it


have to change oil right b/4 race hehehe

 

Me and a good buddy were talking about entering one. I want to get my HB totally up to spec but I dunno. The entrance fee is a little up there for me. We were thinking about entering in a couple years in an M5 or something. That'll be the day.

just watched that video last night now my roomate and I too wanna enter this I'll see ya guys in the race in a few years in my F60

 

I think a Civic is just a little bit out of place... Well, unless you're a Turbo B20VTEC monster with about $4-5k in suspension and brand new Z-rated tires with some HUGE brakes... and um.. huge wallet for all the tickets you'll get.

Altho... I'd do it if I had as much money as those guys, LS tranny high speed cruising with the Italians...

 

oh yea lots of fun!

Jackass squad did it again this year???

 

I think a honda would be out of place but who knows.

My friend tha was taping the vid with the dakar yellow M3 said he felt out of place.

I haven't seen to many 4 bangers made to drive hard everyday. No flaming i used to own a integra.

 

man i posted this 2 days ago in the o/t board both here and on honda-acura.

this race has been run in Europe in years past. This year they decided to bring it to the U.S. They ran from NY to LA. Dado in that M3 put over 7000 miles on his car in 13 days (front end looked NASTY afterwards). Entrance fee was around $8700 per car (w/ 2 people). Only 100 cars were accepted. Many of the participants it looks like shipped their cars over from Europe to participate (a Skyline GT-R can also be seen in the video).

I hear it will be happening next year, this time from San Francisco to Miami.

 

RUF Porsche owns! Kick *** video.

Demian

 

sick, just plain sick

 

thats a good race, but i personally like the Stockholm Getaway races movie much better. you can find them on http://www.IMESH.com and download the software then search for Stockholm getaway and you'll have the 911 or the 2nd race both are over 100mb.

 

sweet man...

 

they are crazy man..........

 

Cannonball run is one of my favorite movies. I guess it influenced some crazy rich folks as well.

 

I like when Daisy Duke and that other chick are driving the white Countach running from the cops, then they get some truckers to spray it w/ water and it changes to red (remember those old Hot Wheels that would change color under hot or cold water ). That's from the beginning of Cannonball Run 2 I believe. Oh yeah, Jackie Chan in the Mitsubishi w/ all the gadgets is cool, too.

 

I like the original Gum Ball Ralley... with the mad hungarian dude on the motorcycle...

 

Ok, that video clip is like major chubb... It's worth the 50 meg download... Full video comes out in September, and I will be buying it! This thing is x 1,000,000!!!

 

I almost had enough money to enter. I feel about $1700 short of Sponser money so I could enter. Maybe next time

 

That would be a blast,get a 300 or so whp Type R, and an Ls gearset or x-trac tranny w/ some good 200 mph. gears, a sweet susp, some brembos and smoke them....

 

I stayed at their pitstop here in Memphis when they came through a month or so ago.
Completly bad ***!
so many Ferrrais I lost cound, Diablos, Benzes, A TVR, A Skyline, a ton of Porshes, and some older muscle cars. Bad ***.
I saw a turbo Beetle that was driven by some playboy playmates, so a bad *** honda would not be out of place too bad.
$10,000 entry fee though a guy told me. One guy who just bought his Diablo got a free ticket.

 

If you guys have $15,000 to spare for the entry fee...go ahead.

 

That clip was funny as hell trying to see the cops stop the Gumball. The one cop chasing the red bike sounded all panicked and saying hey is pulling away from me at 120

 

sweet...
