Ha! Thats all I have to say.

 

He says he doesn't even have to use the brakes around the track, and thats why he can run with the porsche's. I wonder if it has anything to do with that big boxy shape and wind resistence where he doesn't have to touch the brakes because the wind actually slows it down for him...

 

LOL.... This guy! Too proud on sumtin that will never get ahead of us!

 

this is hillarious .. whoever the 8 owner was on the track .. take your car back to the garage .. polish it up and leave it out in front of your house for show .. but do make sure that you never again take it back to the track .. cause you make box owners think that they are just as fast

though i am glad that kid has some fun with that car .. small things like that can be always driven to the limit with none or minor consequences .. that may sometimes beat the benefits of the 8

 

That's really funny - better look in my rear view mirror more often for boxes...

 

a nice burn (on us) by the course worker in the video 'you're not leaning like that RX-8 out there', lol

 

I've been reading the guy's site. Pretty awesome. How does he come up with the money for the M5, elise, etc.? Especially if he keeps selling them after 6 months, seems like a lot of money down the drain due to depreciation.

 

check out that box. lol

 

Where do you find these things?

That track expert sounded like true handling genius commenting on the body roll. Was that the guy from Blade?



That is pretty funny running the "box" at the track. I bet the other drivers get a good laugh, too. I would transplant a beast of an engine in that thing (mid mounted) to get even more reactions from the other drivers.

Notice how quickly that BMW 5 series accelerated away from the "box" out of the corner just before the handling analysis?

 

Where was the RX8?

 

I never saw an 8 either (unless it was the red car infront of the black BWM towards the end of the clip - or was that that red 911 from earlier?).

 

the rx-8 must have rolled over and crashed into a flaming ball of fire after the first turn, trying to outrun the box.

 

yea the 8 got pwned, but we didnt get to see it. maybe thats a good thing.

 

I have to reply to this thread because I find it funny as hell considering the car I drive for work....



MY CAR!



WORK CAR!



04' Scion Xb TRD Lowering springs and TRD 18" wheels with 1.5 gerbils under the hood. I must say... it actually does corner very well.

 

Forgot to add that I agree with everyone that if the Xb was catching the RX8 then the RX8 driver...errr I mean OWNER should make their car a garage queen!

 

Don't forget that shoebox only weighs 2500lbs

 

Never say that again.

 

LOL. Did I say it cornered better? NOPE! But I know many people that would be SHOCKED at the handling ability of the Toaster Oven. I still wouldn't let that lil sucker beat my 8 though!

 

Oh yeah and it has 50HP too!

You know in the new issue of importturner the comic is of a shoe box drifting... Um yeah ok

 

Think if I trade in the 8 I can get a Box heads up? I hope so. That's how you get into the big time autocross scene.

 

it was my 8. u guys just hurt my feelings.




HAHAHAHA jk.

 

I can't wait for the day i see a scion at the autocross.

-hS

 

Scion xB at the track.. yea, its funny, i agree. But before you all go passing judgment on the the guy, spend a little time on his site. Ive been on his site reading his material for almost an hour now and wow, I would bet that he knows more about cars and track racing then most of you making fun of his Scion. Which btw, happens to be his daily driver and was only at the track for fun. It complements his "other" cars: '06 BMW M5, 2 Lotus ELises, Mini Cooper S, 2 BMW M Coupe's, 2 Ducati Motorcycles, Yamaha R1, Yamaha FZR-600, and MANY others listed here: http://dpcars.aprsworld.com/old/thepast.htm , not to mention the track only race car he BUILT here: http://dpcars.aprsworld.com/dp1/index.htm . Spend some time there, this guy is VERY smart, I know I learned something.

 

here's a scion on auto-x



and some more on track


and lastly, he was out braking the other cars into that chicane and catching up to them. yea his car came in slower and didnt have to brake as much but the cornering capability of a xB compared to all the other cars out there should more than compensate for the braking. it didnt and his xb was able to close in time after time on the chicane. or maybe he sacrificed exit speed, because he had none, for entrance speed. guy does seem really knowledgable and very fast.
