The images will cycle through automatically. At the end of the thumbnail frame there is a link to 3 mpeg movies. The 0-90 mpeg is short as by the time he hit 3rd I got knocked around enough that I couldn't keep my finger on the camera record button. If only you could really hear what that beast of an engine sounds like. Not to jinx myself something even better is going to happen next time. :]

Default The only thing I didn't capture was...

when we drove by a Jr. High in the neighborhood that was letting out. Kids were flooding back out <i>off</i> the buses to get a glimpse of the car as we drove back home. Due to the crossguards we were there an extra long time. (hmmm intentional?)

Anyone one kid came running out and had his mouth open all the way with his eyes bugged out. It was hillarious!

Default Next up a ride in the his 512, 360 and F50. Also he's going to give me

ample warning when he tracks the F50. I'm going to be there if not on the track filming him zipping past me.

Default did you know...

that the "big red" kit makes the brake bias ratio on an S4 2.02 which is rear biased enough to make the car unstable without ABS and a proportioning valve?

Did you know that the factory bias is 2.79 and that's safely on the threshold of being too forward biased and that the optimum TESTED ratio for an S4 is betwen 2.66 and 2.47?

No you didn't.

Oh BTW, a F50 at 355 is 3.26 and at 322 is 3.01...WAAAAAAY too forward biased.
