Hope it's not a repost :redface::wink:

Interesting. This guy didn't seem to be to bothered by the understeer like everyone else.:w00t:

elusiveguy · 11-03-2007, 09:32 AM

Nice video, thanks! :thumbup:

very informative...with visuals to go with it!

bavarianbutcher · 11-03-2007, 10:28 AM

is it just me or does he look like Harry off Dumb & Dumber??

bavarianbutcher · 11-03-2007, 10:31 AM

I like his review though he made me feel better about the understeer.

atr_hugo · 11-03-2007, 10:59 AM

Crap there he goes with that 'value' thing, can you say "Additional Dealer Markup'?
:mad::wink:

Totally. But Harry prefers a Diablo, of course. :biggrin:

Enjoyed that, thanks OP!

Very nice

larryn · 11-03-2007, 03:15 PM

Some of the reviews that talked about understeer also mentioned the tires were all beaten up by the time they got their turn on the track. A couple even had pictures of the chewed up tires. No wonder they plowed in the corners, after they were horsed around by 20 journalists before that reviewer got their chance.

It's my guess that Charlie was one of the first few to drive that particular car on the track.

I can't find this video on roadfly yet. LOL nice... we have some inside source

dna550 · 11-03-2007, 03:40 PM

Understeer?

Drive Faster!

Some Good advice.

Templedogg · 11-03-2007, 04:38 PM

blacknbean · 11-03-2007, 04:46 PM

Oregon · 11-03-2007, 05:04 PM

Yeah he did. And he said "Six Caliper Pistons". A very dumb and dumber moment, but hey, he was so lost in the awesomeness of the car that he had a little trouble articulating his thoughts, haha! :roundel::roundel:

Order early while MSRP is being quoted.

JO3 · 11-04-2007, 01:51 AM

This is definitely one of the better drivers I've seen in these videos. He can actually talk and drive at the same time.. reminded me of an american Tiff Needel. lol

"Six caliper pistons"

How articulate can you be while screaming through a race track?

Thanks for posting the excellent video. This one definitely is making me excited and impatient for the car!

toosteeley · 11-04-2007, 01:48 PM

Can't wait to try it out on a track myself

I'm so happy they won again. Papelbon is my favorite player. You should see my room, papelbon jersey hanging in the closet, bobblehead on the nightstand, papelbon keychain, haha. I'm kinda upset that he's becoming such a gimmick with his antics, but hey, people love a nutcase :biggrin:. I'm so glad I'm moving back to Boston next summer after I finish college here. I've missed ice skating on Frog Pond so much, haha.

Sorry for my OT post, too...haha.
