...Soviet automaker ZAZ, used in the two Zaporozetses.

I live in O.C (like 45 minutes from here) and see them daily. While most of the guys buy them just to show off there seems to actually be a large amount of owners that actually care about the performance aspect. Sure they might not be taking the car to the race track every weekend since they usually own another car…

That’s known as the cocaine filter. Really gives you the full Lambo party experience.

I like sitting at about 660'.

You know what an 11,000 hp electric motor looks like, right?

That would be awesome! Concrete dust falling from the ceiling.

Similar, though wrong end of the scale.

I have friends who have worked on contention teams. Not, big huge names with massive sponsors but that next level down of guys running alcohol drag car with minimal sponsors who are knocking on the door. I know last year the team they work with managed to win class at an event and wound up in an post race ESPN…

The Force kids had a good role model in dad, growing up.

I went and saw top fuel drag racing a couple of times. Its....pretty nuts. Your brain doesn’t quite compute what’s happening. There’s a car there, and then its just gone. It looks like the laws of physics are being broken.

Plus its the loudest thing i’ve ever seen. Your eyeballs vibrate and compress in weird ways,…

How is a slower car a better show? That’s like saying F1 needs 1.6L V6 Turbo Hybrids that can’t pass each other to make a better show.

They wouldn’t. The engines are close to meltdown by the end of the run. They’re designed to run about 900 revolutions under load between rebuilds.

I like Leah. I think she must be John Force’s illegitimate daughter the way she talks herself up

There’s a little more to do in a T/F or F/C than watch a shift light though.

“...an eleven thousand horsepower...” sounds right to me.

It’s very entertaining to *feel* however, when you’re there live. Nothing quite like it.

I’m happy that the trunk on that Porsche has such good lines. It’s appalling when the trunk is cut into the bumper in a weird way.

Saw one of these on Monday. Funny how you can see just about any Bentley within a few weeks of its release around here in the Bay Area. Anyways, I did a double take because it looked so bland. I was like, “I like what Hyundai have done with the new Santa Fe” and looked away before realizing “Wait, Hyundai hasn’t done…

Argyle stitching.

I saw a silver 959 parked outside the Hotel Okura, Tokyo in 1989.

I saw a white RS200 driving in the rain in Portland OR in...90/91.

Also a red R5 turbo in Salem OR in the summer of 88.

Since the era of the smartphone I managed to get what I think is a 1956 Lotus 11 in Portland a few years ago.
