Typical SF guy. Drive an M but complain about people driving fast. I guess the driving ideals in SF are as backwards as the politics.

Nice vids and pics...However, Lambo guy should learn how to close the doors.

SlammedR8 · 10-30-2009, 11:56 AM

What exhaust is on it?

LOL the question is really- " IS there an exhaust on it?"

Im not sure but its basically headers, a Cat, then about 1 foot of piping LOL

He is about the remove the cats and go FULL straight pipe out. That thing is going to wake the dead.

+ fvcking 1

thats one thing i cant stand about lambo owners, they feel the need to keep the doors open AT ALL TIMES. its 200-fvcking-9, everyone knows your doors open differently...

[/rant]

EDIT: just took a look at the vids, you guys are crazy!! lol but it looks like you had a lot of fun, just be careful out there, you were getting pretty damn close to those bikers...

that lambo and m5 vid was great

Dartanium · 10-30-2009, 02:45 PM

no, the bikers were getting close to me- they deserve it- you cannot block the entire road like that (....slower traffic keep right law?) You couldnt see it well but I passed a few of those bikes in a 2nd gear drift- Its the part in the first video where the camera guy yells," OH SHIT! LOOK AT JOHN!!!"

Good times had by all except for ///MML

Oh, only the murcialago has flip up doors-

reminds me of this picture-

I have....on the Autobahn, where the great majority of other drivers know to react to varying speeds and other drivers travelling at a much higher rate of speed.

There are too many idiots back in the states that make driving like that a bit dangerous. No matter how "safe" one is with their own speed, its the others around you that you cannot rely on too react appropriately to your driving. I would be wary of anyone approaching from a side street that has no idea how to judge your speed as an example.

That being said, the videos are very entertaining, but I doubt I would be doing a sustained day of driving like that in that area. For every youtube video like this, you can probably find another one with a less-than-positive outcome.

It's a free country and all, but 150 MPH in a 40 MPH zone, on a non-closed street, pretty speaks for itself. Just my two cents.

Hisam M3 · 11-04-2009, 02:23 AM

wow these roads are the definition of ///M

John@BMW · 11-04-2009, 12:38 PM

yes they are!

I was extremely happy with the way the car drove- I just installed my Nitto NT-05s last night so hopefully the rear end will stay more planted in the turns now.

In those videos, the car was ALL about oversteer

which I love-
