Thankfully we didn't today.

Ed graciously took me out into suburbia to show the ricers what "TypeR + Boost" really means.

Enclosed are a few photos and in car movies. While they are good, there is nothing that can really describe this kind of sick horsepower other than "insane." Having driven crotch rockets around, even they don't compare to the way this thing plants you in your seat once the boost hits. The power: you can hear the turbo spool around 3k, but the sudden surge of power doesn't hit until about 4-5k...and it goes until redline. Shreading the A032R's is fun, right Ed?

Ed, once again, thank you for the trip! This was the best Friday I've had all summer.

See the videos!

*As Ed pointed out...it looks like the car is going "slow" ... the first video ends with us doing about 50-80mph (for perspective).

Ed needs to clean his rear bumper.

Tweak -- sure seems like I could have gone faster , from the vids too.
Good thing you didn't get any shots of the speedo during those little runs. LOL!

I've NEVER seen a show car that clean (everything there down to the Mugen socks have a useful purpose).
Oh well, as I keep saying, it's still a "work in progress"! </TD></TR></TABLE>

Very true, the videos are compressed unfortunately (Canon G5)..... Ed was quite masterfully handling the car FAST. The suspension and tires really did a great job, and are well suited for the job.

 

Looking FAST Ed!!

Ic how it is though I am not invited to the get together..........

 

Yeah, the camera is an SLR and not a video camera.

Up for next Friday?
