That was the good fairy. The one you have to worry about coming into your bedroom is the bad fairy.

Santa's not real? 😲

I liked the comment; "driving enthusiasts go for the M2, car enthusiasts go for the Mustang". I've only owned one Beemer and it was years ago, but I found you had to be really pushing it before you got all that exciting feedback through the wheels and pedals. At normal speeds it was a bit anodyne.

The Supervan is also electric. Perfect for those same day deliveries in another State.

It was said on the vid I posted, but the vid seems to have disappeared. There are others referring to "unofficial" timing. It also does not show on eiphany's posted list. If it was genuine something official will appear. The other thing with 'Ring times, manufacturers lie, lie again, and when...

The GTD time was unofficial apparently, so it won't be shown there. Interesting that many of the Porsches have Manthey kits. Not really series production cars.

Speed costs, how fast can you afford?

I'd drive it, if it doesn't vibrate all is well. If it does still vibrate, either walk away or offer them $10k less. When I bought my first car it had no clutch. A quick inspection and 5 minutes welding had the clutch working. I had a drivable POS for $40.

Memories 🤩

I would have liked to see a US spec up against the M2. But I don't really think 53hp would make up a 2 second deficit. Still a good showing for the DH, less power, more weight and wasn't that much slower.

I find them bloody hard to light

That's strange. Maybe VAG changed their minds. Might cannabilise the VW/Audi brands?

I've just seen NZ pricing for the Cupra Formentor VZ5. This is basically an RS3 in a SUV/Coupe body style. $NZ119,990 as against $132,000 for an RS3. I believe the US is getting Cupras now, this is an interesting alternative to an RS3. I still would rather have an RS though.

It wasn't clear on the vid. It sounded like 1/4 mile between timers, and either 600 or 800 metres runup. https://www.landspeed.org.nz/ PS. I was going to give it a shot. But after seeing the rules on clothing, helmets and such, it's looking like an expensive one off.

Yes, I know. I was pointing out how fast the absolute record is even if the car did have all rule books thrown out and built for that one job.

The only times the track authoritys accept is their own track timing. Then they supply stickers for your car saying Sub 7, or whatever, and you go onto the official stats.

Sorry, but the 'Ring is the benchmark as far as most of the world is concerned. One track, show up with your best car, put the best driver you can afford in it, and the BS stops.

Have you seen the 5.19.55 by the Porsche 919? Hard to believe what you're seeing. They refer to the top MotoGP guys as aliens, Timo Bernhard is the alien God.

The guy on the ZZR said he couldn't see the white line because his helmet was vibrating so much. He's got enormous balls of titanium.
