Re: need some advice about a friend of mine...
ok i beg to differ, some of the nastiest crashes have happened on F1 and Nascar tracks so it does not mean that if we are on a track we are more safer than outside... however races are happening. If you are alone and do not overdo it, wear protective gear and just pray to Allah then it should be alright.
Re: need some advice about a friend of mine...
dude FSI is a car technology, by telling us FSI supercharged you are not giving away the car's identity.. so which car is it? and which one do you have?
Umm.. it's still dangerous WHEREVER it may be.. on-tracks, off-tracks anywhere.. i'm glad the issue has been solved. But do keep u're family in mind the next time u're tempted to put the pedal to the floor!
Re: need some advice about a friend of mine...
agree with this gal^
however in racing lingo that is called
pedal to the metal ;)
jeez dude calm down.. btw all these referrals to places does make me feel nostalgic... however i am not really familiar with Kuwait.. but i do drive my guy's ferrari in autodrome here in Dubai which is right next to my house... ask me bout dubai and i will know.. btw which car do you have?
I am as calm as a monk meditating :p, yep by your post I could make out that you didn't know much, lol I am pretty familiar with Dubai aswell, I am usually there every once or twice a month maybe but only for a day or 2 and that to on company business, lol so you drive a Ferrari?, no offence but just asking, what model variant is it?, an, F348/F355, an F360?, an F430, etc...?.
me personally am a Porsche fanatic, so I own a Pearl Black on beige 2007 Porsche Mk1 (997) 911 Carrera S (pre-Facelift model) , P.C.C.B (which in winters is a real pain in the butt, they don't heat up quickly and then for a while I have no brakes at all :S), P.A.S.M, 3.8 Liter Flat 6 with 385 bhp thanks to a Fabspeed Conversion (complete exhaust and Manifold).
1997 Honda NSX, 3.2 V6, 6 speed Manual, nearly all stock with just small modifications such as a Borla Performance Exhaust and manifold, after market cold air intake, Headers and Cam, a few other Bolt On's, combined boost the power slightly by 35 hp, so in total my car is producing 300 hp, future mods, maybe a LoveFab Turbo or maybe a Comptech supercharger.
near future, might change my 911 for the Porsche Mk2 911 C2S with the PDK Double Clutch transmission and Direct Fuel Injection or maybe the new Nissan GT-R, possible date of possession I'd say is early 2009.
use to own a Ferrari it was a Red Berlinetta F355 1996, but later found out that owning one tears a big hole in your pocket and the cash keeps flowing, so got rid of it.

yes ofcourse and we don't got no track in Kuwait sadly, so maybe once a month we head out to the Bahrain F1 circuit, takes about 9 hours to get there, and lol you can't get on the track unless you're wearing the right gear, the fire proof Sweat suite, the Crash Helmet, you car should have a four point Racing Seat Belt, and if you don't got the equipment then you can just drive back home :D.
yes FSI is Audi's technology and is also used by VW since VW owns Audi, Seat, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Skoda and Porsche also uses the FSI technology in there Cayenne Series now since Porsche has a near 51% share in VW now, so the litrally own VW which in terms own some of the most refined cars in the planet.
its a 2006 Audi RS4, which was tuned by Audi's in house tuner that goes by the name of MTM (just like AMG is to Mercedes and the Alpina Division is to BMW), so a stock RS4 has a N/A type 4.2 Liter V8 which chunks out 420 bhp, but since this one was tuned by MTM and was named Clubsport, it had 646 bhp (thats where the name Clubsport 650 PS was derived from).

yes it is dangerous on tracks aswell, but a legend once said (I honestley don't remember his name at the moment), "When speed gets in the blood, one must drive to live." and here's another yet silly one "Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down." and yet another silly one "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough" lol :p.
Re: need some advice about a friend of mine...
Well let me tell you a story, last night my brother went out in his Audi( its a sports version) so another Audi on the moterway came passed him and flashed him (meaning he wanted a race my brother)
so my Brother (21) started to race him and left him far behind,, this guy had other people in the car with him,,, any way so my brother carrys on driving and the guy comes agian like 10 minutes later and flashes him,, so my brother raced him agian,,passed him and then went in to the middle lane as there was traffic,,,,
this guy puts his foot on the gas and trys to get in behind my Bro, but he didnt make it
he crashed in to another car, and all my brother saw (in his rear view mirror)was the car spinning upside down.
not a nice ending!
thanks for the advice but the issue is solved.
I agree with you that speeding kills, what I wrote in my other post was due to anger, but if done carefully and only on tracks it doesn't hurt much but thats just me.
wonderful, so we can close the thread now since the issue is now resolved. We have a forum by the name of 'auto' dedicated to cars, feel free to continue discussing the specifics of your cars there.
Thanks.
