720s races Gt2rs. Apparently the 2RS had some sort of tune and had 800 hp. Still lost to a stock 720. This is interesting because another video I saw showed the 2RS beating the 720. Anyways, all this stuff is fairly meaningless but entertaining nonetheless. Both great cars but surprising to me how badly the 2RS got beat in this video.

His main website. The video where they show his Senna burning. Scroll down and the one with fire. you're going to need to log in first though if you have an account.

Haha. Too funny.
It was a bold statement for CJ to make here but....I'll back CJ any day.

As far as the Salomander, I couldn't stand watching his Youtube channel after a few months.....he seems shady to me.
I cannot relate to someone like him...for multiple reasons.

IMO, the only reason he has a following online, is since he drops a ton of money on cool cars every month.... and can pay people to document and edit social media.

Hey CJ Have you ever been tempted to run your P1 in race mode on the street?


"Race mode is only for use on racing circuits"

Yeah but come on bro the wing is so rad

"Race mode takes vehicle height below legal limit for road use which could be a problem"

But bro, dont be a wimp

"Do you watch F1 races? Have you seen sparks fly off the bottom of the cars? What if you run into some bumpy roads and your diffuser cracks, sparks everywhere and debris gets caught on a hydraulic line?"

Every time he talks about F1 it makes me cringe. He has almost zero actual automotive knowledge and he can’t even drive his cars. Just look at results Brooks from dragtimes gets vs salomondrin. CJ knows the business and he drives his cars on the track. Hard not to agree with CJ.

I think Wimp is the right term here to be honest. Next thing you know, you'll tell people not to drive slicks on the street even though they have the bestest grip out of all tires and like will make you way faster everywhere. You're hella soft bro!

The fact that he mentions CJ, to me, shows how desperate he is for an "Out".. I think he knows that he won't see another hyper-car from Mclaren, so through social media he's pivoting for any angle he can, to try and "persuade" them.

Don't think there is any persuading but that is besides the point.

Everyone wants to know what caused it. Did something come loose? Not good for broad mclarenizing. Did it get driven in race mode on public roads and run over a newspaper or leaves which caught fire due to sparking of lower body? Did they just come from a gas station and spill gas 918 bbq style? Nobody knows anything yet and we are all guessing and have been guessing this whole time.
