that is... i have no words for that. it took him 12 years to make a completely accurate and fully functional model of that car, down to actual fuel injection. all built from scratch. absolutely insane.

That does kick ass. Although I have to question, wouldn't it have
been just about the same difficulty to build the thing FULL SIZE?! Then you'd be able to drive it, too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |

I love that video. I've had a copy on my hard drive for years. I wish I could find a higher resolution version. The announcer sounds like the Top Gear guy.

I always thought Ferrari should swap him. Something off the line for his, straight up.

You think his motor would fit in a teener? Prolly puts out more HP than my stock 1.7. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Anyway, that is awesome dedication. Now what is he gonna do? |

You know, the part that gets me is the sound. It sounds just like a real F-car.

Wow. Artist or nuts. No matter what you think you certainly have to admire the job he did. I've seen a lot of scale models but rarely one with all the functioning mechanicals. That B52 that the guys in England built (and crashed) comes close but this is in a class by itself. The part of the video with the tach summed it up pretty well. Thanks for sharing.
