Here's How Fast (OR SLOW) Our Cheap Ferraris ACTUALLY Are - Car Trek S4E2

The Art of Composition: A Guide to Creating Viral Instagram Posts

As I sat in front of my Ferrari, I realized that it was missing something. Despite its already awesome angle, I thought it needed a little bit of Dutch angle to make it truly stand out. That's when I hired an assistant who knew a thing or two about making Instagram posts more interesting. Meet Melanie, a fitness model who knows exactly how to add some poses to take the post to the next level. With her guidance, we were able to create a viral-worthy shot that would surely capture the attention of our followers.

We started by having Melanie hold the phone and giving her instructions on what she wanted to do. "Tell me what so so something like this boom perfect?" I asked, as she obliged with a cool pose. Next, we had her try out some hot boy poses, laughing as she struck a confident stance. With each take, our post began to take shape, and I knew we were onto something special.

The next step was to get the shot from different angles, but this time, Melanie wanted to give it a try on her own. We set up the camera, and with a nod, she took off. Her attempt was... interesting, to say the least, but it showed us that sometimes, less is more. With a few clicks, we posted our best picks of the day and waited eagerly to see how our followers would react.

The Results Were In

As I checked my notifications, I couldn't believe what I saw - 2132 likes! My beautiful sliding picture had captured everyone's childhood, and people were raving about it. But just as I was basking in the glory of our success, Tyler chimed in with his own post. Unfortunately for him, his car barely made an appearance, and he only managed to get 1251 likes.

Meanwhile, Freddie, who had brought out the big guns (or so he thought), had received a whopping 4000 likes on his post. But as it turned out, his car was basically invisible, and people didn't appreciate his attempt at humor. Gary Vaynerchuk CDs were mentioned in passing, but it seemed like they hadn't quite made an impact.

The Learning Experience

As we scrolled through our comments, we realized that Auto Tempest wasn't exactly pleased with our posts. In fact, they expressed their disappointment rather bluntly, saying that our cars weren't in the spirit of the challenge. But that's when we got a message from Chris Busher, a racing enthusiast and owner of Roush Fenway Racing.

Chris joined us on Car Trek, where he shared his own racing experiences and talked about his upcoming event at Coda on May 23rd. As we continued our adventure, we couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow car enthusiasts like Chris.

A New Challenge

With our experience in mind, we decided to take on a new challenge - driving on the infamous Route 66. We packed up our cars (well, not literally, since mine didn't quite have gauges) and set off on an adventure that would test their limits. Would our cars make it through the journey without any issues? Only time would tell.

As we embarked on this new challenge, we realized that sometimes, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the ride. After all, as Chris said, "you can't promise to put on a better show than these guys," but we were determined to give it our all. With Auto Tempest as our guide, we set off on an epic journey that would take us to new heights - or at least, new roads.

And so, the adventure continues. We'll be sharing our progress on Instagram, and we'd love for you to join in on the fun. Head over to autotempest.com and search all the sites at once for your next car. Who knows? You might just find your perfect ride.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfully aware of the flaws of our ferraris we set out on auto tempest next challenge to see how these bargain italian supercars would fare on a race track my 599 felt great but you never fully appreciate your instrument cluster until it's gone the 456 was clearly the most sorted of the three but it was at no risk of accumulating any style points along the way and the 308 was well running so that's something okay there he goes oh yes freddy the car gives your hair a bit of an eddie winslow effect there yeah it's a little gumby yeah you're gonna fit in there with a helmet i guess we'll find out yes well otto tempus first told us to buy ferraris for the price of a camry and ed cheated massively forty-five freddy predictably bought a terrible car but now we're here at motorsports ranch and we're supposed to test our prancing horses on the track oh yeah it is beautiful out here this looks like a fast track but i think we should probably get a lay of the land first so let's get in that thing and yeah it's a two by two let's all roll together that's right the family ferrari and this is gonna be full ed scoliosis the rest of this trip so you gotta find the the apex here there's a lot of body roll in this car there's a body's rolling in this car okay and the other way oh i need to go wide here yep i can do this and fourth i'm not playing not supposed to do that before here's a straight there's houses if you don't get stopped we're in their backyard yeah you gonna go full send with this thing freddy what i'm on a racetrack and my car is the only one with a mid-engine and flat plane crank freddy there is a water feature here and i would say for you it is in play break break break oh there's no trees around so i think we're safe on that one hold on i did just get a vibration oh okay yeah just keep going as fast as you can as i try to remove this it's a text from auto tempest it's a an issue with automotive journalism today legitimate journalists are not allowed to say negative things about most manufacturers cars they're concerned that they'll never be allowed to drive press cars again since you don't have press cars and you're not really automotive journalists we need you to prove that today by saying three negative things about each of your ferraris the freddy only three yeah only three i have some choice words about this part right now it's fine is that the pit entry oh yeah sure auto temp has challenged us to list three things we don't like about our ferraris but while we might not have the fastest auto tempest cars out there we weren't about to let our precious track time go by without first establishing some bragging rights so we did the right thing and timed our laps how you feeling freddie i have a need for mediocre speed sounds about right so you have no air conditioning no heat no ability to roll down your windows and not always the ability to open your doors yes but this has a flat plane crank which makes it an actual ferrari unlike your two cars that doesn't matter if you're upside down and on fire that's the most ferrari thing of all all right ready yes it's a second oh it does not sound well all the smoke the smoke is present so much love let's play prank let's do our thing i bet every one of the owners of that 308 in its history can claim to have been slapped by a hooters waitress oh boy now ed and tyler said a bunch of mean things about my car and to be honest they're kind of true i have no gauges no idea how much gas i have the stuff like pop-up lights and blinkers everything in this car is broken oh geez there we go the owning of 308 makes you score very poorly on psychiatric evaluation you know my dad owned a 308 did he yes i'm sorry to hear that that explains so much though about you oh it's sliding around a bit now the seating position is absolute trash the name of the game here is spinal compression now if i was five foot four and an italian living on the amalfi coast this probably would make a lot more sense but unfortunately i'm a fat dude making youtube videos so let's just say it ain't for me looks slow it does look very smooth it's going to be a while just give me yeah get comfortable get comfortable just wake me up when he's about a minute away i suppose i'm half throttling it just to make sure that this can make it through the lap now journalism tends to be all about objectivity and i think i picked the right car but i'm not the right person for this car all right come on tyler he's actually getting close okay i had another 10 seconds to take an answer that's that's true it seemed closer than it was okay get the flag ready and last right away almost there almost there oh just under two minutes 159.07 i don't know if that was a good time or not but it certainly felt fast that's probably a record high yes yeah this is little tykes cars or something probably so and in a phrase that i don't think has ever been uttered at a racetrack i think there's a good chance that the ferrari 456 gt will be the fastest to go around so far today you think i hope so well you're up all right this may be a blue whale but it has the engine and gearbox of ferrari racing legends so we can do this tyler start your car it's running are you ready for a schumacher level performance here all right ready set three two one good light hill now if you bought one of those new it was because you didn't have enough frequent buyer miles to buy a 355 or the car that you actually wanted and it was if you signed the bill of sale it was really like a nominating yourself for a financial darwin award that's absolutely true this thing actually moves whoa loose there three things i don't like about my 456 it's easy for me to say that because i'll never get invited to a ferrari press event ever they're never gonna give me a press car i'm never gonna make it into hospitality tent at a fancy race either so uh well let's get started the first thing is the handling and the braking body roll is just unbelievable in this car all right break break quick break the brakes spongy weak justice ferrari into the 456 to be i think that's the car that she wouldn't take in the divorce that's it when he pulls it up next to mine it's like you versus the guy she told you not to worry about up on the bound oh yeah i got this the second thing i don't like about this 456 is i have a 436 horsepower v12 i have a lovely gated manual transmission but it sounds like i'm driving a vacuum cleaner and the third thing that i hate about my four five six well who's there whoa oh hang on it's me i am not a very good track driver also i do not want to break this car i love it so much those old pirellis are screaming louder than the people that are in the trunk of that car that looks like when mom says we have ferrari at go home go go go a four probe record coming through that's right and okay wow that is for another timing belt that was much faster much much faster all righty then hey uh exit okay 146.93 so how much depreciation did he just take oh all of it if anyone ever knew that a 456 was driven like that they would never touch it we can't put this on the internet well i mean we're gonna get there but he wouldn't want it there no he might want to sell this thing right all right i'm off go forth my son all right cheater's up that car has launch control right i believe so and it also completely destroys his clutch if he does launch control right right all right ed uh we want you to do it launch control right into your lap it's a single clutch sequential transmission with my name on the title i think we won't be launching it today but i think it'll still have enough to handle youtube all right end three two one that sound that's the sound of cheating you really should have pulled a coil or something evened it out is that still an option removed as paddle shifters or something you know just unbolted them i could just take off one yeah yes exactly yeah oh what a car of course the first thing that's immediately obvious is that i don't fit it i'm well against the ceiling i just wish especially for a grand touring car that it would have a little bit more room i don't think i'm freakishly tall he's basically conducting a sermon just completely talking anytime one handed no hand and just going due to the nature of this car's roof line and this roll bar that's right behind me it does become an issue i'm glad to have the roll bar but it could be a little bit further back or the roof could just be an inch taller there and i think reasonably sized people would fit all right get it get it the next thing that you notice is that under hard acceleration you get a ton of the cord just rearing up and under a hard braking situation it just dives on its nose from the front it is a beautiful car from the back it looks like ike from south park you mean like the canadian little brothers yeah yeah yeah the beauty little eyes are flapping ahead yeah okay now that i see it i can't understand i cannot see that the third thing is the materials obviously it's nice to have everything on the car red leather the problem is over time it doesn't do that well and it just wears out and all of it is killed expensive oh crap here he comes and that's some speed and get him pizza 456. oh we were hauling boy this thing is fast that felt good that looked horrible it was in its element cheating no not at all cheating what was my time 134 okay and yours was a 146. i'll take it and yours was a 159. well i mean it looked the best though that's not true either no that's absolutely true but honestly i mean that's what everybody would expect no surprises there and it's not exactly as action-packed as i feel like we should make this no that's like three different planets right totally so what if we make those planets align by handicapping a race okay so he would leave and then 13 seconds later you would leave and then 12 seconds after that i would leave and so hopefully theoretically by the finish line we should all be together exactly photo finish all right set it up okay i'll be sure to slick down the track for you guys yeah oh yeah watch your mirrors you got it got to intimidate your competition a little bit you think you found a few more horses in there i've always had all my horses mr ford probe well hold your horses all right so you leave first and then 13 seconds later tyler leaves and then 12 seconds after 15 that makes sense yep they are so done if my car doesn't explode it'll be fine all right freddy get ready get set go and we are underway oh boy look at the smoke holy cow now it's one thing to do a timed lap it's quite another thing what do you have another ferrari chasing you nine ten 11 12 13 go come on a little wheel spin from the 456 it does look like a daytona from here which is quite nice can we chase down magnum pi or go off the track one or the other then i'll have ed hopping down my back very soon two 23 24 25 coming for you tyler he stalled out i'm on him oh no i lost a bunch of time tyler's already got him ready you cannot be that slow let's go let's go oh he's blocked me he's blocking me break break break into the apex oh yeah brakes are not having it downshift ah here we go give it a little more throttle than i would usually do and he can actually handle that's the thing where is this straight oh use all the track i think i'm holding my own though nobody's passed me yet oh no oh you can't both block me no and got him no no yes no no no no no no no now i got to hold off head oh he's right there cross the line i did it tyler goodness gracious i almost had him oh we were right there ah that was a racing freddy nice recovery i was beating you for 90 of that and i didn't cheat and buy an 80 000 car 40 thousand dollar car yeah it was not real real happy it was not nearly the power that i was expecting i never would have expected holding off a 599 in a million years the winds the winds the weeds to winds oh me well driven tyler i couldn't quite get around you as used as i am to tyler wiens i'm just as shocked because i have the least excuse you driver talent and uh the heaviest car ed how's my hair oh it's absolutely perfect that's how it should look every hold on i got a vibration here a text from auto tempest many owners buy ferraris because of what they hope people will think of them we're going to test that theory each of you must capture an image that depicts the best thing about your car and then they'll all be posted to the car trek official instagram account the one with the most likes wins so i have the most social media following out of all of us i know how to attract an audience yeah i'm sorry no it's going on the card track account that doesn't help you i've got a good idea i've got an idea me too let's do it it absolutely helps me tyler showed some great effort on the track but not so much when it came to finding a venue for his instagram challenge he stumbled upon an oddly placed museum at the racetrack oh my i think everybody's childhood is covered here wow batmobile from my dad's childhood back to the future delorean it's a cannonball ambulance isn't it yeah jurassic park oh herbie this is perfect but how am i gonna frame this shot i think i got it i think i got it all yeah further than that all the way oh yes okay all right five seconds go five four three and yes i think that'll do now i tell the other guys that i have a bigger social media following and that was no mistake because i actually have the science to make a viral instagram post and i'll show you exactly how to do it now first things first you need a good car and i happen to have a good car it's my ferrari 308 the next thing you need you have to have composition and what i mean by that is you have to make sure that the car is in the frame correctly now this car is already in a really awesome angle then what i do on all my instagram posts i give it a little bit of dutch angle bam that looks awesome but you know what i think it's i think it's missing something yeah it's definitely missing something and in order to fix this i hired an assistant today who actually knows a little bit about making these instagram pictures a little bit more interesting so uh hello so this is melanie she's a fitness model and she knows exactly how to make this more interesting by adding some poses now uh what i want you to do is uh hold this phone and uh okay so just tell me what so so something like this boom perfect yeah oh that's that's a good sound like this i feel so cool get the hair blowing in the wind also i should get the uh the hot boy pose like this oh yeah hashtag bless yeah so i think we have the makings for a viral instagram post and uh you guys can do the same thing at home using those simple steps it was at this point when i was sure that our followers were getting everything that they could ever possibly want but weirdly melanie wanted to give it a shot on her own here's how that went okay and let's do another one like that from the bottom boom yes that night we each posted the best picks of the day and dreamed of waking up to learn that we had broken the internet in the same way that the past 33 years had broken my ferrari everybody sleep okay oh freddy come on that's good well what a fun day yesterday i'd say so yeah well i think it's time to learn the results of our instagram challenge tyler yours did not win yeah you got 1251 likes i captured everybody's childhood i thought i would do better with that well your car is barely even in the picture that was not exactly the spirit of the challenge what i did was exactly what we were supposed to do and i received 2132 likes that's not too bad my beautiful sliding picture however freddie having brought out the big guns oh yes bazookas yeah yes i don't think the car got any likes whatsoever if i'm honest with you however got 4 000 wow 145 yes yes i told you okay those gary vaynerchuk cds are really paying off for me and yes i do have cds but you also have a very very scratched ferrari yeah it'll it'll buff out it's fine it's 70s paint it's like this thick however there is a comment on your post and it's from auto tempest ah did they like it not their normal they did not like it they don't show here and i do follow them they say now that we've learned what the public think about your cars it's time to prove that the three of you can do something with your ferraris that very few ferrari owners seem to do one thousand miles away is a road that some say is the greatest road in america that is your destination my car almost exploded on the track i can't do a thousand miles this is what it's for there's no way i can do that you know my car is probably never done a thousand miles because it only has ten thousand kilometers it's like six thousand miles so this is a first but it is built for it with its lazy boys seats and everything else i think it's gonna be in its element as shall mine and we will get to enjoy everything of your misery have you fixed anything else do you have windows no like heat air conditioning lights no no no no no none of that uh i don't have gauges i don't know how much gas i have no electrical are you in the no gauge club no gage club no gauge club that's what i'm talking about all right well let's load them up guys can i pass on this no next time on car trek come on you hungry what are you in the mood for there's really only one place we can go when you're here your family oh that's a lot of cooling on the ground i'm the one that didn't cheat so uh all good deeds right hey i'm chris busher with roush fenway racing maybe you caught my race last weekend in kansas it went pretty well i might have even been on hoover's pace i'll be back in the auto tempest car at coda on may 23rd i can't promise to put on a better show than these guys but i hope you'll
