That's what I've been trying to explain about these 9000 rpm Magical Torqueless Engines.

But, a 375hp turbo 944 is the fastest car in the world. Didn't you get that memo? V8s have ****ty area under the curves

I think he needs to have a showdown with the Mustang GT-R. It would be like Clash of the Titans.

Which, by the way, I hear has a remake now? Is that in theaters?

Ummmmm I haven't seen it, but I'm pretty sure the plot is about 3000 years old...unless that's what you meant?

The only thing that bothers me about "special effects" these days is that they just aren't...special. 95% of movies rely so heavily on CGI that they don't even bother with practical effects and in-camera effects, and so they make it seem to easy...it's as if they wrote the script, then sent it to the CGI department and said, "I just can't be arsed, film my movie for me."

Did you see "Moon"? One of my favorite movies made recently, and had the perfect blend of CGI, practical, and in-camera effects. And amazing acting.
