Nissan GT-R First Impressions

The GT-R has landed!  My Atlanta friends having some fun with the car before shipping it out to LA.

I know Hyabusas have traction problems, but somehow I do not think this is the solution.  Full Story on FasterandFaster.

The common misconception from non-divers is that a dive knife is used for “fighting off sharks”.  The reality is more mundane since I think I’ve only ever used a div knife for freeing my regulator of stray fishing line.  But this crazy knife would be the ultimate self deffense item for fending off jaws.

This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world’s largest land predators.

Wow, I have to admit my inner Georgia Red Neck sort of digs this ;-).

Who says Lambos don’t make good track cars?  Here is a twin turbo beastie running a 104@139mph…. stunning.

Fifth Gear Season 14, Episode 3

Those crazy brits are at it again showing us how much better their car shows are than ours.  The highlight of course, the Ariel Atom.

Fifth Gear Season 14, Episode 3 – Video.

Started when Garage419 did the GT-R vs ZR1, and now the fight continues between the ACR and ZR1.  Andi Bartichi put this video together to show the two side by side.  Looks to me like the Viper is a little more composed, but then it should be with all that downforce and rubber.

Victory by Design: Porsche’s First 911

I actually had drinks in Vegas with the host of this show earlier this year.  Very cool guy, but the show itself it superb.  On Victory by Design, they review the development and design decisions for a model or platform.  This is a nice teaser of their episode on the very first Porsche 911.

Top Gear Gumpert Apollo

This car is insanity defined. A complete beast designed to destroy the track.  I daresay this could be the modern expression on a McLaren F1!
