You ever try to drift your Cobra? I mean in real life :D
I attended many Drift Sessions here in Hawaii with my Excalibur. One such event was written up in an article for a Japanese magazine, with a picture of my Excalibur 'sideways'. Very very tough to hang out the rear end of a short wheel base car and KEEP it there in a controlled manner. I learned a TON about 'Cobra control' from drifting it. Sometime later when on the same road course I had 'drifted' before, I lost my brakes coming into a hairpen corner. I slammed the trans into 2nd and 'locked up' the rear end throwing the car sideways on purpose to scrub off speed (had to do SOMETHING!). Essentially I wound up drifting the corner and that was way better than hitting the tire wall. Knowing and practicing Drifting techniques saved me from an all but certain crash. Doing a little 'agriculture' work in the corner... :LOL: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...apan-drift.jpg |

Oinie: You never cease to amaze me! :LOL:
You devil you! Do have all those gorgeous oriental women hanging all over you too like in the movies???????:LOL: Oinie, I drifted the Shelby once. If it even qualifies as a drift....Too much accelarator in second around a bend. Rear got loose kicked out for a second. My heart jumped into my chest wall nearing cardiac arrest. I slowed down and swore I would never get to frisky in a corner with that B I T C H again. LOL. I'm just a "waxer" and proud of it!!! LOL. Durt: Ok. You got me. I stand corrected. Yeah, I guess guys drive their cars like those video game pics all the time. I see the connection now. Sorry.:JEKYLHYDE |
Naw - we use the video sims because we CAN'T drive like that!
You should give it a try - it's a hoot & you won't be wadding up the REAL thing. |
While I drifted the Excal I wouldn't even THINK about doing that with my ERA! :D
...thats why I own a Play Station! |
Wow, those HD graphics are unbelievable. Puts my GameBoy Advance to shame...:o
Durt, those shots from GT4 are so fake looking! I mean who in their right mind would put the top on? :LOL: |
Amen. And you can't take it off! It is one of the most glaring inaccuracies of the program. Unfortunately, when the creator is Japanese most of the heavy R&D lifting went into Japanese cars. The Cobra handles like a beer truck.

How dare you use Hades and Hawaii in the same sentence! :LOL:
Us mainlanders would enjoy some of that brand of Hades! |
While the video is the opening for the Gran Turismo HD or what every they call it, the demo of the game is a download on the PS3 website via a PS3 game console. Let me tell you the games graphics are not far off from the video when it is run at 1080i on a plasma TV. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago, it is impressive.
