Default Just how fast is "the tank"? Check the video out.

Perhaps a little less controversial video for everyone's enjoyment:

WTF?!? Somebody watch this video and tell me why The ITR suddenly appears, from NoWhere in the middle of Turn 8... Am I missing something? Is it magic? Which one of us was that, and do we have somebody using a cloaking device?

Wow! That is a great clip! Busy section of track and the "cloak on" ITR is cool. Sounds to me like he was on the outside on the 944 so you coulnd't not see it in the video. You can hear it the whole time though. No 944 sounds that nice.

It's gotta be to the right of the red 944.... no other explanation. It's in JUST the right spot the whole way up that you can't see it until the turn.

Yep, if you look closely, you can see the left mirror of the ITR just after the 944 goes by.

Wow, thats nuts. I had to watch it a few times but you can see the shadow and even the left mirror of the ITR just infront of the 944 right before we (all of us riding along via camera) tuck behind the 944.

I must have watched that 10 times before I realized that it was Kim in the 944 and not Alex in the Integra. I kept thinking, what happened to him between last year and this year?!?

That IS one cool piece of video! The stealth Type R is amazing...only the mirror shadow gives him away!
