I drive an MR2, and lift-off oversteer is truly terrifying... and I've only got a tiny Inline 4 behind me. I can't imagine having the weight of a humongous V10 perched in the back. Every time you take a corner, the transfer of weight caused by lifting-off the throttle will turn that monster engine into a freight train of inertia, pulling the car out of the apex and thrusting the car into a ruthless spin of centripetal force. You really have to respect the CGT to drive it.

+MoabMan There is a limit to how stiff you can make the car to be. Especially for a side crash where there isn't much crumple zone at all. Even if they make it extremely tough then people would die at low-speed crashes because of the brutal acceleration. That's why cars have crumple zones. If you want to crash at high speed, then you put a roll cage.

@hakankarakurt1100
@hakankarakurt1100 8 жыл бұрын
They have cages dude, you are right. And they are driven in an controlled environment where tires etc. used to slow the crashes down. These cars(NASCAR etc) don't have stereos screens anything etc. . So I also think you are right safety is important and I was really sad about Paul but you know if you really don't want to risk your life don't drive like a racer in a road made for transportation. Go to a track or something. Yes I love F&F like movies and the way they drive in the streets but it's no good in real life. If you happen to kill someone in an accident it's unbearable and if you die it's the end of story.

What makes this so German is the fact how we are handling this. If the train is 5 minutes late in Germany, we are all busy talking about how the train is late. In a lot of countries nobody would even care about 5 minutes. If there is a meeting in Germany and you are not there before the appointed time so the meeting starts at the appointed time, you are late. In some other countries you would not really consider coming before the appointed time.

Having recently lived in Switzerland for 2 months and commuting daily in and out of Zurich I must say that Swiss trains/trams genuinely are on time. The clocks in the stations start counting the negative seconds and then minutes if the train is late and in the trams where you can see the drivers dash the large digital clock turns red when the tram is running behind. Great place.

The fifth, Indy Car racers and collectors car, Graham Rahal. He said, the Carrera GT is a car that is hard to control. "I often drive my cars and it has become a habit.

the original tyre supplied with this car made the handling very unpredictable at the limit, but apparently if you fit these with more modern tyres the GT is safer and more predictable. I believe the car Paul Walker was driving was still fitted with the original tyres and those tyres were overdue for replacement. Not Porsche's fault. It was the owner's fault for not maintaining the car properly.

Hey, if anybody in 2021 is wondering about the first track - it is Easy Muffin by Amon Tobin. Great track taken of from the internet a few years ago due to the copyright issues. It's been used at least twice on TG, another example is a road test of E60 M5. If you happen to find an MP3, keep it on your disk, it's hasn't been so easy to find one.

Nicolas Broszky and this is why there is so many different cars, everyone think different about the look of cars. i personally love the look of a good ol' station wagon like the volvo 945, 745, 245 and 145 i like the boxy shape and the practicallity they offer in an affordable and fun package (RWD) the porsche carrera gt is one of the last greats, it has a manual gearbox and rear wheel drive. it's v10 has a sound that comes right from the roaring tepths of hell. and i think that the styling is simple and eligant and it looks like it should be really aerodynamic. i can't understand why all the supercar manufacturers makes their cars to be automatic only. it is freaking boring to drive an automatic. you should have 3 pedals and a stick shift. and i'm not the only one that thinks that way. ask most petrolheads what their prefered gearbox is, automatic or manual. they will answer manual.

In all reality the opposite is true. If the limits of the car are so high and the breaking point of the chassis is on a knife’s edge, then the only way you know you’re making a mistake is when you’re inside a wall or around a tree.

Something about it being extremely difficult to drive makes me like this car even more. In an age where cars basically drive themselves this car certainly stands out. Sad it acquired the stigma that it has now but in my opinion we need more cars as RAW as the carrera gt. It makes the driving experience that much rewarding.

whats with all these Paul walker comments? 1- a car will only go as fast as you want it to go 2- i'm guessing the car crashed traveling far faster than the speed limit, so how can someone blame 'the car' for crashing? if they went around the corner at the speed limit they would be fine 3- if they hit the same tree/pole at the same speed in say a Ferrari, i'm sure the outcome would be the same every one makes mistakes however, so RIP Paul Walker, Rodger (driver) and my heart go to both families

IndyCar driver Graham Rahal was the fifth of sixth owners of the Porsche Carrera GT owned by driver Roger Rodas. "The Carrera GT is just harder to drive, and I drive my cars a lot. Nothing that I have will not be used. Every car that I have will be driven a lot. I have two cars that are old that don't get used that often, but that is rare." Rahal compared the Carrera GT to a 2010 Ferrari 599 GTO. Some of his observations and his descriptions of how difficult the Carrera was to drive are chilling in light of the crash. www.autoweek.com/article/20131201/carnews/131209996#ixzz2mILJCVdy

When Stig spins this thing 4 consecutive times in the hammerhead, it's easy to understand the Walker crash. "This thing is a pig... make a mistake, it bites your head off." Reckon that crash wouldn't have happened in the Merc-McLaren. Porsches have traditionally required great skill to drive fast, but the current ones are completely forgiving. Wonder how manageable the 918 is, in contrast to the old Carrrera GT.

So don't say you will never get to drive one, because you never know.

Why is everybody blaming on the Porsche? As Clarkson said you need to be really aware when you drive this beast. Maybe Roger went comfortable thinking he could handle it and don't get me wrong. This would have happened to any other professional driver like Roger. A human mistake that sadly took away Paul and Roger. I still like this rare machine.

Its so incredible to hear how they talk about the car before and after "modern" technology. For example he talked about the clutch weight and the brake material. With the 918 they talk about the hybrid technology and how it brilliantly employs its ungodly amount of power. Cars from this era just seem so much more visceral.

Porsche built this car with the intention of being a challenge to the driver, much like the Ferrari F40 and the McLaren F1. Low weight, manual transmissions, a shit ton of power and a lack of electronic driver aids (F40 and the F1 don't even have airbags) made these cars respected and feared. Only a very skilled individual could drive these cars, and there's a chance they'd still mess up, and it makes me extremely sad knowing that's what happened with Paul Walker and Roger Rodas :(

That's just such an insane argument to begin with. That car is fast, no doubt, but you aren't "obligated" by it to go 200 kmh in the city. It is perhaps more dangerous than a Prius, but not dangerous enough to be illegal.
