Seemed pretty effortless and potentially had more to go.

 

I was under the impression that the Agera/Chiron were capable of this speed but it was the tires that were holding them back

 

Aren't Koenigsegg cars top speed runs severely limited by the fact that they had to use some rando stretch of highway out in Nevada/Arizona...whereas Bugatti had full access to the VW speed track?

Wonder how these cars would fare if someone could get these cars to a really good track/road space to completely stretch their legs un restricted...

 

I believe the SSC was run on the same NV stretch as the record Agera run.
The Bugatti didn't qualify for the Guinness record, because it was achieved in 1 direction.

 

This made me pee my pants just reading it. I can't imagine how that must have felt.“By the time we get there, he’s obviously out of the car,” Shelby said. “And he was sitting on the ground with his head down. And it didn’t look good.”

As he walked up, Jared said that Webb told him this: “I’m done Jared. I’ll never do that again. I got hit with two different blasts of cross winds, and it moved me two lanes over and into the rumble strips. I had a really close call.”

 

I need to go to the Peterson soon... The only thing in my way is west Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and COVID.

 

Soo... about that Tuatura run... Compelling.

 

And this one. Start at the 5:30 mark.

 

 

 

The noises at the 8min mark

 

Great deep dive into the chassis/technical aspects of the 992.

The fact that it impressed Mark so much is a huge win in my book. A really realistic/affordable platform for the future at used market prices...perfect balance between streetable and very sporty at same time

 

Yum are you still collecting?

 

 

So, WYHI...?

 

 

Pandem kits are always too over-the-top for me, but I actually like this.

Wouldn't modify my C8 that way if I had one, but I always felt the body felt too high and narrow in stock form.

Grand Sport/Z06 when

 

Behind the scenes on Savagegeese LFA video: (not public link but still watchable, figured its a great watch for those who want a behind the scenes and why I am a patreon supporter of Mark. Dude is legit on car reviews. He uses wayback machine to find old deleted lexus websites and translate the japanese to get more technical info on the car....like he said....they're not some bullshit vlogger who just wants to have fun with an expensive car.....)
The LFA review:

 

Yeah, I watched that one too. Nice vid for sure. It reminded me of how special the LFA is. I hated the way it looked when it came out, and suspect that that was part of the reason they didn't sell (lease) well, even in limited production. While not a Huayra, the LFA has grown on me over the years. However, NOTHING beats that exhaust note at full tilt. The LFA has all the elements to be a $1 million dollar car some day.

 

 

When it came out 8-9 years ago I was also like many others...and like...wtf is this thing for $400k at "only" 500 some odd HP and the styling was sketchy. Of course I was also much less mature back then.

After reading about the LFA watching that video...I have now a much higher appreciation for the car and how special it is. It's not "artistic" like some Italian cars, as you alluded to....but its story and origin and what Toyota did to make this happen...is insane. $1 billion dollars to make 500 cars...basically with extreme japanese engineering and craftsmanship.....honestly one car I would certainly pursue if I were having that level of money/wealth....

 

Plus, that engine note

Thought it was cool he drove both his daughters to their weddings in his 250GT.

Hell yeah, the unimog is amazing! But for nearly $400k, I wouldn't get one lol.

 

Yeah, I looked on BaT & they're pricey no matter what.

 

Honda makes a better offroader

Apparently not better than a shitty Fiat.
