Carrera GT video - WOW!

me want! listen to the engine - unreal! i read that when you let your foot off the gas the RPM's drop almost immediately because the rotating components in the engine are so light. you can kinda hear that as the guy is revving it.

Cool

Best part is when it's in the garage and he is blipping the throttle! You can hear that it has little flywheel weight and insane compression. Awesome exaust sound!

Maybe not Now that it finished downloading I think the best part is at the end when he pulls away form a stop and the engine overwhelms the tires as it screams away with that incredible howling sound.

The current issue of Top Gear has Jeremy Clarkson's report on the Carrera GT. One of his quotes is something like this:

'Ever seen a forest fly past backwards? Ever had your peripheral vision pull all the way back until it meets at the rear? Then drive a Carrera GT.'

Of course, we've only seen a video or read about it. NikFu actually saw one.

Just kidding with you, Nik.

i saw a pic of the suspension once, with the body off of the car and it was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! it was a work of art. the engine bay is amazing, too. the passenger compartment is a big carbon fiber shell. that car is just unreal.

a magazine tested it and got faster times than an Enzo, but then another magazine got slower times. so they're basically pretty close in performance. it is $200,000 cheaper than an Enzo, though.

Who is that bastard with the blue and white jacket? I want to kill him...twice.

That engine sounds more like an F1 engine than any other production engine I've ever heard.

I just noticed something, did any of you catch the rear part of the monocoque chassis sitting to the cameras right of the car? SVX SchmesVX, I want a Carrera GT!!!
