Black box..

Spec V will improve on all of those, if not they will catch next time around.... of course there are going to kinks to work out. Richard was mentioning that, but I think it comes from using the launch mode. I should have expected this from a guy who wants to put a domestic engine in a nissan. I would still take one anyway.... and mod the hell out of it. (if i had loads of money) It has officially become my dream car.

P.S.

What are you doing on Nicco? Zilvia would have been the correct response. Also, the car is not really an automatic now is it. (paddle shifting I believe)

i would imagine this would be much the same for other really high end stuff like koenigseggs and whatnot
and since it has supercar performance without the supercar price tag
its still a fucking good deal

What he said.

i guess the enzo is a downer as well.

i would actually really wanna drive a decent car with a good flappy paddle gear box
however ones that you cant just flip the shifter to fully automatic like the ferrari ones would be more appealing

That's true but its a corvette fighter and the corvette doesn't come with this kind of maintenance price tag.

yah but if you look at 2 cars in roughly the same price range and one is italian and one is american your going to be paying much more for maintenence for the italian one.
and stuff from japan is cooler than stuff from america

so i was watching a video in english about privacy nowadays and this "black box" thing came up. It said ever car that has airbags, has one, but only newer cars have started using them to collect data.

There was a case where a 43 year old man was drinking and driving in his 2005 Yukon. He hit a car which killed a mother and her two kids. Now his car was equipped with a "black box", and I guess once the airbags goes off, this box collected data of what the car was doing prior to the crash. The box read that he WAS speeding, the throttle WAS engaged fully prior to the crash, and the brakes were never used.

The guy got sentenced to jail for life with no parole.

i no certain audis (i think)have a thing, for when u crash or ur airbags are deployed the speedo needle stays on how fast you were going

not a 100% sure
