Fun to watch, but absolutely stupid.

I feel torn posting it, but it does demonstrate the perfect weight distribution of the RX-8 in a manner that words could never do justice to:

RX-8 Rippage

 

Oh, and just so we're clear, that is neither myself nor anyone I know.

I found that clip (ironically) in the Nissan 350Z Forum. :D

 

I've seen that video before. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that used to be a member here by the name of judgeIto.

 

Are those dealer plates I see?!??!@ omg.. poor rx8... drive it like you stole it indeed...

 

Poor RX-8 indeed! Here in TX that's a $250 fine(yes, I got one, due to some testosterone-induced stupidity, and my friends). But I've heard they raised it to $300. And I wonder what the dealership could do?

 

So he did a fat burnout? That itself isn't a big deal, but the doing it on a public street in my eyes is a No-No.

Almost any RWD with ***** can do great looking donuts, dont see how this is indicative of RX-8 awesomeness =/

(btw, I absolutely love RX-8's so don't call me a non-believer)

 

yep that was Judge Ito's 'bone stock' car.

hence the link that says judge ito in the file name.

 

i thought i saw somethign like that where the guy hit a pole at the end of the video, is this the same and they just cut out the crash

 

Yeah, how does that prove anything about rx-8 weight distribution?

 

Lol, I remember that thread Mugatu...

 

yeah that was a good time... :D

 

Nice burnout

 

I saw that video 2 years ago. It's a good example of what stupid people do with their free time.

 

I bet that was a Clorox burnout, if you look around the tires you can see that they put something on them. For those of you that have never heard of that before, if you put clorox aka bleach on your tires it will produce a **** load more smoke, I am not advising this by all means but if you want to F up your car like this dipshit is doing feel free. I do not see how this has to pertain with a weight distrobution post.

 

Anyone think it's probably really dumb to put something corrosive like clorox on your car?

 

Thats what I was thinking..............

 

A velocity red just like mine. Interesting to watch as long as it's not my car. Rather dangerous too.

 

no, none of us have ever done anyting remotely silly (dare i say it fun) have we.

 

Sure. I do fun things in cars all the time. Of course I'm wrapped in Nomex and on a race track away from innocent bystanders, but, I understand I'm smarter than a lot of people.

 

I do not believe one would be able to achieve as tight a radius as this RX-8 did without perfect or nearly perfect weight distribution.

I've seen three cars do such a tight ring: A BMW M3, a Porsche 928, and the RX-8. All three have 50-50 weight distributions.

 

anyone ever hear back from ito himself? whats he been up to?

 

Hes working for a shop in lodi nj

 

You want a tight radius... my car will spin like a top, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with weight distribution.

 

Ohh yea I wash MY car with clorox all the time. I also use Ajax with a metal sponge to take care of those pesky tar spots. gets them every time!!

As for the burnouts after cloroxing the tires I add some food coloring and walla!! baby red, green, blue, yellow smoke just like on formaula D.

 

I wonder if he's managed to find some more power out of that "bone-stock" car.

What a laugh.
