What does an 800hp lightened, non-street legal no-holds-bar ferrari enzo sound / look / feel like? Well, as many people have speculated, it is awesome. but there has not been very rich media concerning the topic in the form of a top gear test run, or elite home video…. until now.

Well, here you have it. A fully mirrored (on a fast connection) video of a ferrari fxx lapping the ferrari test circuit along with an enzo. Great footage, the car sounds awesome without the cats. It rumbles in the bronx like the best of sportbikes.

Too Bad i can’t afford one of these, click on some side banners a few million times - then i’ll be on my way.

Enjoy the video!

Holy shit!

this is amazing, haha. This is just the reason that crack-heads need to be deported to antartica.

Forbes, with their super resources, decided to find out who was driving what. Here is a list with a bit of commentary

Paris Hilton: Bentley Continental GT
I think the careless disregard for money she has makes the Bently a perfect fit “if all the rappers are talking about it, its a must have!” I suspect this car to be equally disposable as her various boy-toys

Anna Kournikova: Cadillac Escalade EXT
Perfect for a Russian-expat Floridian retired tennis star. Does it get any more trash-with-cash than the EXT?

Britney Spears: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Stands to reason. Its the most expensive the most powerful, the fastest merc ever made. PLUS its an automatic. Makes a perfect candidate for breastfeeding while drinking wine and talking on the bluetooth cellphone in LA traffic.

Julia Roberts: Toyota Prius
Yay for the enviornment - boo for a hipocritical woman who gets on my nerves like no other.

Madonna: Maybach 57
Voted the best car by limo drivers worldwide. for some reason i expected her to be in a white m5… being she is such a star and all. BMW films rock.

Charlize Theron: Land Rover Range Rover
Charlize reminds us all of the girl next door in a way, and for years she owned a red Rodeo. Girls like this belong in SUVs. Girls as rich as Charlize belong in Range Rovers. Ideal for stomping around LA with carless disregard.

Lindsay Lohan: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
She’s has clearly proven that she can’t handle this car. Put her in a New Beetle with a red, white and blue stripe, slap a roundel with the number 53 on there and yank the motor. what does a little girl like her do with 700 horsepower? nothing!

Shaquille O’Neal: Rolls-Royce Phantom
Yes. perfect fit.

50 Cent: Dodge Charger
No. Fitty is emphatically not a Charger driver. We see him in a big benz with 26-inch spinners and glass tinted to look bulletproof.

Leonardo DiCaprio: Toyota Prius
i sense that his love for th prius is genuine, gotta respect that.

President George W. Bush: Cadillac DTS limousine
Good call, good fit.

Tyra Banks: Lexus SC
Tyra doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who cares much about cars. This is a luxury convertible that won’t break down for people who don’t care much about cars. but still float you around in style and comfort.

Tom Cruise: Porsche 911
What, he was too cheap to buy the turbo? What a wanker.

Whats cool about a job where you can sit around all day. other than purposly park on the top of the parking structure and then find a webcam which points at your building and then zoom in, and send links and take wonderful snapshots of your car, live, from like a mile away over the internet. wow isn’t technology great.

i am actually slightly upset that i wasted a good 30 minutes of my time today devouted to that. wow i am a nerd.

My Car from Afar

What happens when you combine the following ingredients:
* BMW M Coupe (best car in the universe)
* Twisty European City
* Professional Driver
* Chase Bike With Video Camera

You get this: The Hotness

More importantly you get the one of the coolest videos ive seen in a long time, I might be biased due to my like obsession with bmw m coupes. It gives me goosebumps just watching it. A call to the world, make more bmw m coupes, and send them to me, i will love you forever

Track day! yay!!! oh snap, what happens if your car breaks down? do you waste all that hard earned doe on a day sitting next to the track? OF COURSE NOT!!! just call your local AAA friends and ask them if you can borrow their truck, then kindly take it out on the track, and have a blast!!

these guys at a bmw club meet were in for a treat to see this guy drift the truck around the track better than the other guys with the m3’s! amazing video, i must say!

It just goes to show that no matter what car you have, you can have a blast in it if you get on it. who cares if your car is faster, its all about having fun!

Semi-Truck Drifting (really!)

This is great. Think of this scenario:
1) guy is interested in putting funny entry into an art show
2) guy happens to live in a very conservative town in the midwest
3) said town has 4 wal*marts
4) wal*mart sells pictured animated / singing santa clause
5) santa clause electronics hacked
6) hillarity ensues.

no, seriously, i wish i saw this sort of thing more often. He wired together a bunch of simple electronics so that he could make the doll do / say what he wanted. including dancing, mouth and head movements, the whole works. sadly, he was expelled from the art show. but hey! he made slashdot and got his 5 minutes of fame!

hahaha, how awesome is this? i mean seriously man. i have not seen a pratical joke this good in years. i think its better than the tiny rat man scare tatics. beautiful in its simplicity. glorious in its execution. it doesn’t get any better when you are scared out of your mind, so far out of your mind that you are think you are going to die. and as a big F U to the world you lose your bowell control. wonderful.

As reported at worldcarfans (more pics there). The new 911 turbo was spotted in artic testing in northern europe. Being an ideal spot to test the durability of the awd and traction control related systems.

The new 911 turbo boasts 460 hp / 460lbs of tq. But with the new variable vane turbine hotness developed with garret, it should be making that power very low down on the powerband. Variable turbine size has been used with production diesel engines for many moons. Diesel engines have considerablly lower exhaust gas tempatures (egts) than petrol engines. If all goes well on the 911t expect to see these in future generations of your max rice evo / sti next door.

As see here: http://www.physorg.com/news8986.html

“Harvard University scientists say they’ve produced an example of self-organized complexity in a rudimentary microfluidic bubble generator.”

In Essense, they created something that SHOULD be random, but isn’t. It is a highly predictable chaotic system.

This is wonderful, just like the ideas that random seeds can be generated by cameras looking at background noise, or a lavalamp, soemthing like that. TO SHAME SIR, TO SHAME.
