Default Your car is NOT fast...

...and neither is mine.

I was digging through old posts and I ran into this:

Video

Now THAT is fast!

Definitely a repost, but definitely worth another look.

That is pretty bad *** indeed. Unfortunately "race car driver" did not show up on my aptitude test in high school.

yea that is an amazing video...i heard that it was sped up some, but i'm not convinced it sure seems legit. BTW that driver must know that track like the back of his hand b/c if he didn't he would be pulling a road runner and fly off a cliff

it likely isn't sped up at all... tarmac hill climb drivers can pull some amazing speeds, high power light weight and great handling...

but its also extremely probable that the drivers know the course back to front, as they run the courses numerous times each way, not to mention also do drive the course beforehand as well...

pretty cool ****

this is a Datsun 510 at the Bible Creek Hillclimb in Oregon... a class winner...

imagine what a datsun 510 looks like, how its built and what can be done with one...

now imagine a sled built for just that simple purpose of blasting a winding hill road as fast as possible

Gotta have a spotter with some sort of GPS and mapped out and everything. Just like a rally driver cant remember ever single turn. I dont think its sped up though, remember the video with the F1 hill climbs or whatever in Sweeden.

Fast is a relative term. To some people, 13's are fast.
I have a sickness or something. Every car I get in just
isn't fast enough.
