You ever try to drift your Cobra? I mean in real life 
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...

Oinie: You never cease to amaze me!
You devil you!
Do have all those gorgeous oriental women hanging all over you too like in the movies???????
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.

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.

Wow, those HD graphics are unbelievable. Puts my GameBoy Advance to shame... 
Durt, those shots from GT4 are so fake looking! I mean who in their right mind would put the top on?

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!
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.
