The Thrill of Driving a Supercharged Sports Car

As I sat down to drive this incredible sports car, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The tires were cold for the record, James was a very good driver, and I had heard that the throttle response of this vehicle's supercharger was truly impressive. And indeed it was - oh yeah! Like I'd go so far to say it's got a better pickup than the original engine had - absolutely instantaneous, ridiculous, right, brilliant! Yeah, it's super cool.

But before we began driving, James had one last thing to check on the dash. "Dave, look at me!" he said, as I struggled to see over the hood of the car. "Horrific!" I replied, my eyes wide with surprise. It was a sports car - but where was the center console? And what's with all these buttons and levers? This is not the driving position I'm used to.

As we began to drive, James explained that this particular car had some unique characteristics. "It's like running out of traction fast at 45 mph," he said. "The surface grip is massively different - from loads of grip and feel to just ice and then it comes back with traction again in a space that all of a sudden becomes quite intimidating." I was skeptical, but as we hit the track, I quickly realized that James wasn't exaggerating. The car was extremely sensitive to temperature changes in the air, and even small differences in surface grip could affect its performance dramatically.

But despite its quirks, this car is incredibly fun to drive. And when it comes to drifting - oh boy! As soon as we got moving, James was sliding the car all over the track, performing impossible turns and donuts with ease. I watched in awe as he expertly maneuvered the car through a series of tight corners and hairpins, his foot hovering lightly on the accelerator pedal.

As we took a break and stepped out of the car, I couldn't help but feel impressed by James' driving skills. "Dave, do you want to try some donuts?" he asked, grinning mischievously. I hesitated for a moment - but then nodded eagerly, eager to experience the thrill of drifting on two wheels.

Of course, as we soon discovered, it's not just about looking good - this car can also put up quite a show. As James expertly maneuvered the car through a series of tight turns and jumps, I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before.

But despite its incredible performance capabilities, this car has one major flaw: it's completely impossible to get any work done around here. As James so aptly put it, "Sometimes these guys believe it or not get tired of it seriously." And indeed they do - there are always plenty of excuses and explanations for why we can't film anything at the moment.

As we took a break and stepped out of the car to grab some lunch, I turned to James and said, "I don't know how you get any work done here. This is the best place to have a simulation in the office!" He just laughed and replied, "It's what a space to have like in LA as well - it's a unicorn dude." And indeed it was.

As we finished up our day on the track, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience. It had been an incredible thrill ride from start to finish - and I knew that I would never forget this car or the joy of driving it. So if you ever get the chance to drive a supercharged sports car like this one, don't hesitate - take it!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello guys I just got what is the worst phone call awful news me and I are now changing our whole day to go and manage this issue I don't know if there's a resolution I don't think there is all surrounding the 720 GTR we're heading to PFS right now and I'm going to explain everything to you guys I'm super bummed out this car just might be cursed hang on M got that because race car girl woo and we're here do you love this thing oh I love it it's so it's so sick oh I did Legs yesterday and like I kind of have to crawl and roll out of the supercars right now or it's just the fact that I'm middle-aged and getting old I'm 22 and the legs are killing me I fell into this right but how good does this look this car is insane and PFS did delivery on this for me and they killed it you got to remember there's four layers was a vinyl on the very front of this car it's fully exposed carbon said the ppf it then put the enosch DD 720 lar color on then the Chrome right and then they ppf over the front of the Chrome so it wouldn't scratch so the very nose has four layers on it wow but that's not why we're here we're here to basically go over the 720 GTR that I was desperately desperately trying to get done for car week because it is the most DD car we have it is fully custom oneoff body kit a fully built motor al13 Wheels it's everything that is DDE and it was the car I had to bring to car week and there is super devastating news let's get inside so bright out here what up lock look at you holy Jason's coming with me to car week Jason likes it when I Jason likes it when I get close Jason likes it when I get close all right that's getting weird I'm really sorry about all this I don't know what to say man I'm pretty bummed yeah cuz I made that call nobody else's fault but my own but I really screwed actually Jason and his whole schedule here at PFS so I apologize first and foremost to protect the film Solutions and all the staff here who will always go to bat for me and have for years but after this might not go to bat for me in the future last one last WAP you're getting here there's some cool stuff in here right now this is cool because I had one of these and I thought it was going to fulfill all my childhood dreams actually teenage boy dreams and when I got it it was the cool car to own for one week and then I was like this is the slowest worst handling worst car I've ever owned my Nissan Skyline R34 GTR I even had a vspec 2 those are cool they're like kind of bluish tinted Pagani esque right but don't even go there Pagani ask we just looked at a Pagani yesterday right yeah remember that one does that remind you of a Pagani no you love Porsche right what's this actually called again tribute Edition tribute Edition Manny actually koshin he got one of these had it for like a week and then sold it and this guy's doing something special this car is a factory white and it's going stealth so it's a sa finish now wow satin white that's cool yeah it's got a pearl tone to it so we'll do some new graphics and uh the cars getting some modifications which is always good too oh this car sounds amazing look at these wheels I love the color I Love Actually the green it's a great col python green python green Pyon green viper green python green tomato tomato pot up a tole let's go see the 720 let me show you one more Porsche that I know she'll really like this one this one's actually really cool this is the car that's getting more modifications to go off-roading really more to go off-roading he's going to do smaller Wheels bigger tires roof rack uh fog lights and he's actually going to go rip it Offroad for the record this is made by Porsche it's called the darar Edition uh the rothman's LI put you a freaking headlock hold hold hold on hold on hold on nothing not nothing all right this is not it though one more so MIA as I was saying all this the tow hook the Livery the wing the skid plates it's all built from Porsche like this is how you get the car not aftermarket yeah the tires are I've noticed the tires right away yeah the chunky tires it's really really cool you know what's also cool what Lamborghini made a Huracan called the Str that's like this for off-roading oh wow I don't think I've seen that yeah it's pretty bad all right Jason what do you want to show us me out she likes pora there's a special car this is very there also a badass what you say yeah I love it I like the bigger Wing I like the bigger wing on for it's because it's an RS bam this would be a sick car like if you were going for father daughter you worked really hard you're going to buy your own car we're going to go for drives and cruises and you're just going to get like a really dope Factory spec car that would be it manifesting this thing's cool really cool huh this is a good platform but yeah this one's already done so this would be good if you want like a cookie cutter arrive and drive no modifications but that's boring you want to do Wings exhaust Arrow yep what a disaster and I'm super sorry this thing would have looked so sick and I was really pumped to bring it to car week because it is the most DED car I'm going to reveal to you guys the liery that's going on it right now because it's partially done but they had to stop working on it because they were doing Mia solid fourar week as a promotional vehicle for PFS and a nose ACH and guess what motor ain't coming back in time in fact I have some bigger updates on the motor I'm just trying to get all the information for you guys so that's all I can kind of disclose at the moment I don't know if the motor has more damage than just a blown head gask yet we'll get to that with Alex later but here you guys go the first time I've ever shown a car kind of like halfway done and not a full reveal bam still completely torn apart these guys started working on it the goal is to actually have the car done like last week but when we knew it wasn't going to go to car week Jason's like bro I got to take the guys off it we got three warehouses full of cars and projects that have timelines and if your car is not going then it's going to get pushed to the side so it's literally been sitting here like this it is going to get yes the 720 GTR in OA Tech pink why because I literally made this color for this car would it look sick with the fena Livery of course it would have the reality is this is the staple car on the channel for this color it has to get this Livery now there's a bunch of details and this is why I'm cool with showing you this there's a bunch of details that have to go on this car to tie it all in yeah you might be like oh it's going to look kind of like the last car oh for sure it's the same Livery but it's a completely different kit so there are pieces of this kit that still need to be wrapped there will be carbon pieces that will be wrapped with pink and the gray and things to make it look appropriate too you know the F1 or even the P1 GTR as you see it now there's a lot that still needs to go on uh the boys just for now put the front end on the front so it looks like kind of like a bit of a car you can visualize it but yeah it's essentially if you ever wanted to do this to your car it's the inos obviously custom color I made and then you want to use a metallic darker gunmetal gray for this section of the car I'm pumped when I see the car cuz I know eventually it'll get done yeah it will it's just a bummer didn't work out for monter but yeah like bummer like bummer is an understatement sucks tear my heart out and just like it hurts it hurts sorry I could help you obviously they have to put on for the lack of a better term the scalloping the fangs yeah yeah the you call them the fangs yeah that's the part that's me a little tricky because this door is completely different than a normal 720 and the P1 and the F1 so we have to decide how we want to take those Fang down so just the final details but the final details make it all so it ties it all together it does they got the wing done most of the body done obviously the rear bumper which actually got forgotten at gintani even though the rear bumper is mainly carbon and it's exposed which we won't wrap there are these two little white end plates that sit right about here and those will need to go this color so dude it's just so so heartbreaking there's nothing in here there was a time last week when we first were discussing that the actual built motor wasn't going to make it I came this close to going and buying just a stock 720 motor and putting it in here so I could drive it to car week it did cross the old nogin you know the little brain that's in there about this big for like a millisecond was like by a 720 motor it's only 60 Grand take it out of Dave's salary only 60 Grand you just have to go full Flintstone on this thing right now put electric motor right just electric motor a little fat motor in there I'm out of here I'm out of here the last teaser for you guys ready many nights yeah nothing right yeah I can't be still inside still inside still inside I can't be still inside still inside right something really fundamental is missing very fundamental leave and come back and leave again before this is finished get out of here leave and come back and leave again dude the width of it well you get an idea right you get an idea looks incredible man you like it it is serious bit of Kit I'm winging what why you laughing well I'm laughing cuz the story I'm about to tell you is this bigger than the factory Wing slightly in fact they didn't even have this on the car they didn't have this a 720 rear end well you got to remember the the actual active Arrow the active Arrow Wings also bigger it is of course it is yeah so you have a bigger way bigger flick yeah and then Above This will be sitting this and just just just to show them put your hands on this wing on how wide it is yeah I mean it's it is full I'm not I can't even reach the span of it but like the WID too like the actual depth of it yeah do you think that'll change anything for the way that McLaren intended the factory downforce to be yeah I do like honestly if I'm getting a seasoned assist it's more likely not from McLaren it's from Boeing yeah yeah it is it is an actual Wing isn't it that there's a tuning company in Germany called SSR they developed an AO kit for the Porsche GT4 RS okay as part of the Aro kit they maybe increased the rear wing on that car by I'm not exaggerating 10 15% part of that Improvement was a slightly deeper wing and I'm not joking it's like that much deeper and like a tiny little like gurnie flap so little flick it's like imagine like a micro duct tail flick it's like a little Ridge there right during the the development of that they came back from testing and they opened the boot and one of the engineers noticed that there was like severe dents in the rear chassis of the car and he was like who's been slamming the boot so hard guys you got to look after this thing like treat it with respect they were like they know what the hell you're talking about like we're all respectful here they go out and develop a second car came back same issue turns out the extra tiny augmentation in Wing depth and and flick created so much additional downforce that it was pressing into the chassis of the car and it dented the chassis of the car right so so in order to mitigate that they developed these carbon plates which sat under the pressure points of the boot to spread out the dis yeah but in comparison to what you're doing right this is why I'm like dude like this that's why it's welded and why it has 40,000 bolts that aren't super aesthetically pleasing but I believe highly necessary and potentially this could still crack right here and just fly off the car at some point so we're going to have to keep an eye on it yeah I genuinely feel awful because I went all the way over to the UK and James was going to offer me his sen up to drive there while Dave and I were visiting for the gumball Hill Climb I want to take my Senate to car week because I don't have my 720 GTR the mercy has a broken window regulator so the window won't go up or down that's a problem so he probably won't have that fixed in time for me to offer him that car so I had a car in mind for him and it was my manual straight piped Ferrari 599 with the GTO style Livery because I know James loves the engagement of driving a manual car and that car sounds I was going to say insane but I think the word obnoxious is better to suit that car with pops and bangs but it's a straight piped V12 Ferrari and it's the Enzo engine it sounds absurd which I know he would love but we have one major Hiccup and our Ferrari Tech Hector is about to explain it to James I'm actually curious I got to ask you a question the more seat time that you get with Dad in the Sena does it at all influence your decision to maybe ditch the Porsche and get a McLaren honestly I I can't really say because I've never actually driven a Porsche or being in a Porsche I don't think so I think part of my wanting the Porsche is the not knowing what it's going to be like yeah maybe you'll drive on you'll be like forget this maybe I will the doors open normal yeah this is this is by the way we just missed the driveway we are about to pull in and say hello to Hector our Ferrari Tech brand new not so shady Tech Hector they got some cool Porsches here they sure do look at that yeah that's cool that is cool they also have a really cool Ferrari here that's nice yeah and they also have the car I was going to offer to Mr jww here yeah it's outside which is not a good sign missing a few things yeah it's missing everything it was supposed to go to a body shop and get fixed up so here's how screwed up my plans are I was planning like I was all in on having the 720 GTR done to the point where like I was calling in every favor to get this done right which is what how I screwed everybody up the mercy window's broken yeah the windshield wiper motor is broken which you can need a windshield wiper in Monteray cuz the Coastal Marine in the morning fog it can get damp you need it so I'm getting those things fixed I don't know if they'll get fixed before 2 days from now all right okay which leaves me with me having to drive this so I can't offer it to you I feel like an I kind of don't though because I never did take your sen instead I just sha my pants so I had a plan and I was going to offer you yeah a very very engaging insane automobile in my fleet which is a gated manually swapped Ferrari 599 which as you know is a front- mounted Enzo engine yes exactly so race headers straight piped I'm not going to lie right now the condition of it is is not looking good wow look at this but it's also got a handbrake cuz it was designed to be a bit of a drift car for the block hydraulic handbrake we call it a block beater yeah it's a hydraulic handbrake oh three pedals sequential in a 599 yeah oh the the placement for rev matching is really nice as well so you got a you've got a hydraulic handbrake yeah give that a pull oh it's so sick hey shift the gears wow dude it's so cool yeah I did crash it at one point oh wow is this from from drifting in the yard this is from drifting at the Block um this is also this is also from drifting at the Block phenomenal engine I also did this on the Block okay right so it's it's got some patina so I was going to no I was going to for you I was going to have all of this fixed and that's why it's here with our new Ferrari Tech Hector who's going to explain this very rare unusual problem with this car I don't know what's going on with it the issue is the fans behind here for the radiator will not turn on and when they turn on they just immediately blow the fuses and he cannot figure out why for the life of him why it's blowing the fuses so that's the issue and now we've actually just ran out of time to even even if he fixed this today I would not be able to get the Bodywork fixed and the rewrapping and the wheels put on in time for you to take it but I promise you this car is very cool and you'll experience at some point at the one day I really want to experience it like the idea of a manual 599 is so cool at this point of DD don't have a car to offer you y'll take the bus there's one more option get to that later and we are back in perfect timing too because this car I choose to run it on 100 octane Race Fuel and uh we're really low right about now how goes it this is not a Ferrari park this is this is a Lamborghini Park no this just for your mercy it's the windshield wiper control unit I don't know if you can see that little bulge right there on the side of that thing burnt up right there I see a bulge see a bulge oh sorry sorry sorry Damon keep your head in the game smia just shakes her head look at her you're working on the broken regulator and the wiel wiper yep yeah window regulator is done so that's good to go no way yeah thank you Mike careful you got a white shirt on thank you oh sh you're good you're good like legit you got real lucky I got lucky well thank you for fixing that yeah no problem this thing is burnt up so I'm going to see if I can change that little relay on there cuz these things are used $1,200 no because Lamborghini it's insane hey look he just showed up Mr jww real pleasure to meet you meet likewise dude Formula Drift Champion Mike Assa great to meet you dude honestly Tim the Tool Man Taylor to the Tool Man how you think you good yes see it's h in here I don't know you look this is this is like today is like actually not bad is it okay I'm from the UK man it's always cold some days are pretty brutal is the exhaust as nuts as the svj just stand right there no no no I'm not standing here stand right there the svj insane really what am I doing here yeah not loud at all that was not chill I can't hear 4500 RPM goes to 8 may need getting boys now to make a pipe huh I would give you this car one of two problem still so in the meantime instead of giving you my baby yeah why don't I give you Dave's baby let's this is great Dove know I want to send him a message of me R this car this is not clean at all does Dave know about this about what about this let me take this car cuz I'm going to send him send him a picture of absolutely ripping on it he he has no idea great perfect this is a great angle awesome dad right then we're going to dry this thing this really subtle car the seat's fixed you can't move it okay so yeah Dave's told you'll be narrow enough for it but you can't like seat fitment good it's okay so you can't move the seat no it's fixed yeah but you might be able to move you know what you could probably move if you want steering column yeah there's the steering all the way out fired up cold start let's go this one's not that's the baby engine block smoke Jesus all right they needed a car this driving position is so weird I'm like it's so far back from the wheel I know that's why I said like make sure you can drive it yeah it's s I'm like I have the same problem proper Fast and Furious style like yeah yeah it's it's Dave's driving style well he's fixed it like this that's how he likes it apparently Dave what the hell man dude Nobody Knows Why Dave does what Dave does but Dave does what Dave does that could be on a t-shirt yeah more this way this way more you don't want to take the mirror off yeah more this way let me open the gate for you too it's so strange like you're not making this up it is weird no I'm not I'm this is not for a fact like this is really the wire right there oh yeah yeah it's like a little M Mike is that for Dave's Bluetooth cuz Dave loves Bluetooth maybe it's maybe it's what Dave loves Bluetooth I think it's Dave's Bluetooth pointless journy because it's cool it's 6 6:00 right to get to this restaurant yeah 7 this time right yeah then I'm going to immediately come back and come straight back again yeah are you master debating not to go I'm master master master bait this is how it rolls How We Roll we don't know what they're doing they might not be leaving James has decided not to go to the dinner that he was supposed to go to that he's already put off two days in a row because the LA traffic right now is so bad that it'll take him an hour to get the dinner and by the time he gets there within 30 minutes he'll have to turn around and come back because we have a la car cruise to go to tonight that he doesn't want to miss we got a bit of our Overstock merch shipped to the HQ me and I have been in here for 30 minutes tearing down boxes trying to find out what exactly we do have here none of it's organized this whole stack of boxes used to look like that stack of boxes I didn't even realize but we have a small batch of Gumball Europe designed hoodies left the ones that are designed after the theen Livery that was on the svj these are my favorite hoodie of all time when it comes to this colorway we'll figure out exactly what we have here but we also have some new stuff we specifically have finally the actual real version of this this is a prototype and they made it with red and I was like well I don't really want red I wanted something closer to the lar color and exclusively this hat for the first time and for now we'll be sold at our next event which will be by the time you see this video August 13th so if you are in the LA area we are having a block party of all block parties and we will have a merch tent set up where you can buy the exclusive DD racing in the lar pink current when we started DDE 2013 to 2024 but we'll be selling these for the first time here exclusively at the HQ and in this box this box has something that we sold in the past but this is a completely new version of it a new variant now here we go can you guess what would be in here oh oh nice so you can pick up a hat and a stainless mug DD Racing Edition I'm taking one of those H right right yeah nice take one of those too if you want nice all this stuff's going to be sold at our block party event if that goes well and people love it turn around there if you go flat brim brand you can put it there like that you go that's what it's that's what it's for to James is going to drive Dave's Car around on the block think's crazy right it is crazy it sounds so good so do you have the sport button on no not yet so hit sport sport and then see where the traction control and all that is up on the yeah pull that back and hold it now it's all wheeel drive so now you can go rip around it won't it's cutting out on you I can hear it cutting the throttle yeah yeah I can feel it know by the way I'm not going to be drifting around little less angle uh the the tires are cold for the record James is a very good driver I hope the throttle response of this thing's amazing yeah it's a supercharger you can thank VF engineering for that honestly the pickup's really impressive it's it's immediate oh yeah like I'd go so far to say it's got a better pickup than the original engine had it's absolutely instantaneous ridiculous right brilliant yeah it's super cool so what what power not warm so yeah yeah it's not warm that's okay Dave okay Dave does bad things when car when cars are cold and girls we're we're starting with this driving position that's the first bad thing that you've done here Dave look at me horrific I'm like like straight leg straight armed are you kidding me yeah it's crazy never looked over a dash like this and say a sports car I don't I don't know how you drive this day I'm like this back up all the way to the gate and rip it down here but just remember ashalt polished concrete that is very slippery very slippy and there's also dirt debris and everything makes it more slippery that's not the braking Zone got some smoke look on the tire there so keep in mind when I said James is a very good driver James got trained to actually drive an F1 car so I have to ask you something when you stand here yeah it looks huge right yeah oh when you're in it it's not you run out of Tomac fast when you start driving a car here you run out of Tomac fast at 45 M an hour and sliding the car and you find out how different the surfaces are the surface grip is massively different like you'll trans I from loads of grip and feel to just ice and then it comes back and snatches back with traction again in a space that all of a sudden becomes quite quite intimidating tight you had a couple were kicked back towards the K Rail and you're only 4 ft away you can like feel it yeah the other thing I would say is I don't know how you get any work done here cuz this is all I'd be doing all day the truth is we do this all day all the time we just don't always film it because sometimes these guys believe it or not get tired of it seriously I don't know how man I know everyone's like more Donuts move on and I'm like that's why we got this place and it's totally legal it's what a space to have like in LA as well it's a it's a unicorn dude I I don't know it's just so good yeah it's so this is worse than having a simulator in the office 100% you no work end up if you can do donuts this thing will do donuts cuz it's primarily rear wheel drive Dave does them you just have to get it to kick out right here and you should be able to do donuts right here like do two circles I don't want to be the guy to stack Dave's car all right that's actually you know that's a very hon that's a very resp I do but I don't want to do it at the same time all right you like it yeah I do I really like it I'm impressed with the throttle response mhm the standard car is nothing like that nothing it's nothing like that a gyo no even a squadro Corsa it's still pretty boring absolutely W it up right big time yeah it's awesome I can see why Dave likes it so much yeah let's see jump in would you oh oh d That's so much fun my eyes are burning oh it's so good it's so good I honestly don't know how you can do anything around here also why if the car is not strong enough this is why the car is break break that's why you're snapping 599 Dave has snapped three 599 axles and blowing up a clutch I will show you a video yeah when I got my 599 the first day I got it I did Donuts inside the building and caught the car on fire from doing donut I did donuts for 2 minutes straight it got so hot from the headers it lit the loom on fire which is what Hector was talking about replacing Christ so we can safely say that 599's on made to take a b well both power steering pumps went out on them they both have trophy Truck power steering pumps now we both have upgraded alternators okay which both failed and now we're just dealing with the fan staying on but they but when but when they're running that awesome like yeah throw turn let me just do a uturn sure ready u 10 time before car week yeah I think uh we might need to change the tires but that's okay we have a stock po wow that exhaust is a little hot can I say it yeah TI are coming out Dave salaryhello guys I just got what is the worst phone call awful news me and I are now changing our whole day to go and manage this issue I don't know if there's a resolution I don't think there is all surrounding the 720 GTR we're heading to PFS right now and I'm going to explain everything to you guys I'm super bummed out this car just might be cursed hang on M got that because race car girl woo and we're here do you love this thing oh I love it it's so it's so sick oh I did Legs yesterday and like I kind of have to crawl and roll out of the supercars right now or it's just the fact that I'm middle-aged and getting old I'm 22 and the legs are killing me I fell into this right but how good does this look this car is insane and PFS did delivery on this for me and they killed it you got to remember there's four layers was a vinyl on the very front of this car it's fully exposed carbon said the ppf it then put the enosch DD 720 lar color on then the Chrome right and then they ppf over the front of the Chrome so it wouldn't scratch so the very nose has four layers on it wow but that's not why we're here we're here to basically go over the 720 GTR that I was desperately desperately trying to get done for car week because it is the most DD car we have it is fully custom oneoff body kit a fully built motor al13 Wheels it's everything that is DDE and it was the car I had to bring to car week and there is super devastating news let's get inside so bright out here what up lock look at you holy Jason's coming with me to car week Jason likes it when I Jason likes it when I get close Jason likes it when I get close all right that's getting weird I'm really sorry about all this I don't know what to say man I'm pretty bummed yeah cuz I made that call nobody else's fault but my own but I really screwed actually Jason and his whole schedule here at PFS so I apologize first and foremost to protect the film Solutions and all the staff here who will always go to bat for me and have for years but after this might not go to bat for me in the future last one last WAP you're getting here there's some cool stuff in here right now this is cool because I had one of these and I thought it was going to fulfill all my childhood dreams actually teenage boy dreams and when I got it it was the cool car to own for one week and then I was like this is the slowest worst handling worst car I've ever owned my Nissan Skyline R34 GTR I even had a vspec 2 those are cool they're like kind of bluish tinted Pagani esque right but don't even go there Pagani ask we just looked at a Pagani yesterday right yeah remember that one does that remind you of a Pagani no you love Porsche right what's this actually called again tribute Edition tribute Edition Manny actually koshin he got one of these had it for like a week and then sold it and this guy's doing something special this car is a factory white and it's going stealth so it's a sa finish now wow satin white that's cool yeah it's got a pearl tone to it so we'll do some new graphics and uh the cars getting some modifications which is always good too oh this car sounds amazing look at these wheels I love the color I Love Actually the green it's a great col python green python green Pyon green viper green python green tomato tomato pot up a tole let's go see the 720 let me show you one more Porsche that I know she'll really like this one this one's actually really cool this is the car that's getting more modifications to go off-roading really more to go off-roading he's going to do smaller Wheels bigger tires roof rack uh fog lights and he's actually going to go rip it Offroad for the record this is made by Porsche it's called the darar Edition uh the rothman's LI put you a freaking headlock hold hold hold on hold on hold on nothing not nothing all right this is not it though one more so MIA as I was saying all this the tow hook the Livery the wing the skid plates it's all built from Porsche like this is how you get the car not aftermarket yeah the tires are I've noticed the tires right away yeah the chunky tires it's really really cool you know what's also cool what Lamborghini made a Huracan called the Str that's like this for off-roading oh wow I don't think I've seen that yeah it's pretty bad all right Jason what do you want to show us me out she likes pora there's a special car this is very there also a badass what you say yeah I love it I like the bigger Wing I like the bigger wing on for it's because it's an RS bam this would be a sick car like if you were going for father daughter you worked really hard you're going to buy your own car we're going to go for drives and cruises and you're just going to get like a really dope Factory spec car that would be it manifesting this thing's cool really cool huh this is a good platform but yeah this one's already done so this would be good if you want like a cookie cutter arrive and drive no modifications but that's boring you want to do Wings exhaust Arrow yep what a disaster and I'm super sorry this thing would have looked so sick and I was really pumped to bring it to car week because it is the most DED car I'm going to reveal to you guys the liery that's going on it right now because it's partially done but they had to stop working on it because they were doing Mia solid fourar week as a promotional vehicle for PFS and a nose ACH and guess what motor ain't coming back in time in fact I have some bigger updates on the motor I'm just trying to get all the information for you guys so that's all I can kind of disclose at the moment I don't know if the motor has more damage than just a blown head gask yet we'll get to that with Alex later but here you guys go the first time I've ever shown a car kind of like halfway done and not a full reveal bam still completely torn apart these guys started working on it the goal is to actually have the car done like last week but when we knew it wasn't going to go to car week Jason's like bro I got to take the guys off it we got three warehouses full of cars and projects that have timelines and if your car is not going then it's going to get pushed to the side so it's literally been sitting here like this it is going to get yes the 720 GTR in OA Tech pink why because I literally made this color for this car would it look sick with the fena Livery of course it would have the reality is this is the staple car on the channel for this color it has to get this Livery now there's a bunch of details and this is why I'm cool with showing you this there's a bunch of details that have to go on this car to tie it all in yeah you might be like oh it's going to look kind of like the last car oh for sure it's the same Livery but it's a completely different kit so there are pieces of this kit that still need to be wrapped there will be carbon pieces that will be wrapped with pink and the gray and things to make it look appropriate too you know the F1 or even the P1 GTR as you see it now there's a lot that still needs to go on uh the boys just for now put the front end on the front so it looks like kind of like a bit of a car you can visualize it but yeah it's essentially if you ever wanted to do this to your car it's the inos obviously custom color I made and then you want to use a metallic darker gunmetal gray for this section of the car I'm pumped when I see the car cuz I know eventually it'll get done yeah it will it's just a bummer didn't work out for monter but yeah like bummer like bummer is an understatement sucks tear my heart out and just like it hurts it hurts sorry I could help you obviously they have to put on for the lack of a better term the scalloping the fangs yeah yeah the you call them the fangs yeah that's the part that's me a little tricky because this door is completely different than a normal 720 and the P1 and the F1 so we have to decide how we want to take those Fang down so just the final details but the final details make it all so it ties it all together it does they got the wing done most of the body done obviously the rear bumper which actually got forgotten at gintani even though the rear bumper is mainly carbon and it's exposed which we won't wrap there are these two little white end plates that sit right about here and those will need to go this color so dude it's just so so heartbreaking there's nothing in here there was a time last week when we first were discussing that the actual built motor wasn't going to make it I came this close to going and buying just a stock 720 motor and putting it in here so I could drive it to car week it did cross the old nogin you know the little brain that's in there about this big for like a millisecond was like by a 720 motor it's only 60 Grand take it out of Dave's salary only 60 Grand you just have to go full Flintstone on this thing right now put electric motor right just electric motor a little fat motor in there I'm out of here I'm out of here the last teaser for you guys ready many nights yeah nothing right yeah I can't be still inside still inside still inside I can't be still inside still inside right something really fundamental is missing very fundamental leave and come back and leave again before this is finished get out of here leave and come back and leave again dude the width of it well you get an idea right you get an idea looks incredible man you like it it is serious bit of Kit I'm winging what why you laughing well I'm laughing cuz the story I'm about to tell you is this bigger than the factory Wing slightly in fact they didn't even have this on the car they didn't have this a 720 rear end well you got to remember the the actual active Arrow the active Arrow Wings also bigger it is of course it is yeah so you have a bigger way bigger flick yeah and then Above This will be sitting this and just just just to show them put your hands on this wing on how wide it is yeah I mean it's it is full I'm not I can't even reach the span of it but like the WID too like the actual depth of it yeah do you think that'll change anything for the way that McLaren intended the factory downforce to be yeah I do like honestly if I'm getting a seasoned assist it's more likely not from McLaren it's from Boeing yeah yeah it is it is an actual Wing isn't it that there's a tuning company in Germany called SSR they developed an AO kit for the Porsche GT4 RS okay as part of the Aro kit they maybe increased the rear wing on that car by I'm not exaggerating 10 15% part of that Improvement was a slightly deeper wing and I'm not joking it's like that much deeper and like a tiny little like gurnie flap so little flick it's like imagine like a micro duct tail flick it's like a little Ridge there right during the the development of that they came back from testing and they opened the boot and one of the engineers noticed that there was like severe dents in the rear chassis of the car and he was like who's been slamming the boot so hard guys you got to look after this thing like treat it with respect they were like they know what the hell you're talking about like we're all respectful here they go out and develop a second car came back same issue turns out the extra tiny augmentation in Wing depth and and flick created so much additional downforce that it was pressing into the chassis of the car and it dented the chassis of the car right so so in order to mitigate that they developed these carbon plates which sat under the pressure points of the boot to spread out the dis yeah but in comparison to what you're doing right this is why I'm like dude like this that's why it's welded and why it has 40,000 bolts that aren't super aesthetically pleasing but I believe highly necessary and potentially this could still crack right here and just fly off the car at some point so we're going to have to keep an eye on it yeah I genuinely feel awful because I went all the way over to the UK and James was going to offer me his sen up to drive there while Dave and I were visiting for the gumball Hill Climb I want to take my Senate to car week because I don't have my 720 GTR the mercy has a broken window regulator so the window won't go up or down that's a problem so he probably won't have that fixed in time for me to offer him that car so I had a car in mind for him and it was my manual straight piped Ferrari 599 with the GTO style Livery because I know James loves the engagement of driving a manual car and that car sounds I was going to say insane but I think the word obnoxious is better to suit that car with pops and bangs but it's a straight piped V12 Ferrari and it's the Enzo engine it sounds absurd which I know he would love but we have one major Hiccup and our Ferrari Tech Hector is about to explain it to James I'm actually curious I got to ask you a question the more seat time that you get with Dad in the Sena does it at all influence your decision to maybe ditch the Porsche and get a McLaren honestly I I can't really say because I've never actually driven a Porsche or being in a Porsche I don't think so I think part of my wanting the Porsche is the not knowing what it's going to be like yeah maybe you'll drive on you'll be like forget this maybe I will the doors open normal yeah this is this is by the way we just missed the driveway we are about to pull in and say hello to Hector our Ferrari Tech brand new not so shady Tech Hector they got some cool Porsches here they sure do look at that yeah that's cool that is cool they also have a really cool Ferrari here that's nice yeah and they also have the car I was going to offer to Mr jww here yeah it's outside which is not a good sign missing a few things yeah it's missing everything it was supposed to go to a body shop and get fixed up so here's how screwed up my plans are I was planning like I was all in on having the 720 GTR done to the point where like I was calling in every favor to get this done right which is what how I screwed everybody up the mercy window's broken yeah the windshield wiper motor is broken which you can need a windshield wiper in Monteray cuz the Coastal Marine in the morning fog it can get damp you need it so I'm getting those things fixed I don't know if they'll get fixed before 2 days from now all right okay which leaves me with me having to drive this so I can't offer it to you I feel like an I kind of don't though because I never did take your sen instead I just sha my pants so I had a plan and I was going to offer you yeah a very very engaging insane automobile in my fleet which is a gated manually swapped Ferrari 599 which as you know is a front- mounted Enzo engine yes exactly so race headers straight piped I'm not going to lie right now the condition of it is is not looking good wow look at this but it's also got a handbrake cuz it was designed to be a bit of a drift car for the block hydraulic handbrake we call it a block beater yeah it's a hydraulic handbrake oh three pedals sequential in a 599 yeah oh the the placement for rev matching is really nice as well so you got a you've got a hydraulic handbrake yeah give that a pull oh it's so sick hey shift the gears wow dude it's so cool yeah I did crash it at one point oh wow is this from from drifting in the yard this is from drifting at the Block um this is also this is also from drifting at the Block phenomenal engine I also did this on the Block okay right so it's it's got some patina so I was going to no I was going to for you I was going to have all of this fixed and that's why it's here with our new Ferrari Tech Hector who's going to explain this very rare unusual problem with this car I don't know what's going on with it the issue is the fans behind here for the radiator will not turn on and when they turn on they just immediately blow the fuses and he cannot figure out why for the life of him why it's blowing the fuses so that's the issue and now we've actually just ran out of time to even even if he fixed this today I would not be able to get the Bodywork fixed and the rewrapping and the wheels put on in time for you to take it but I promise you this car is very cool and you'll experience at some point at the one day I really want to experience it like the idea of a manual 599 is so cool at this point of DD don't have a car to offer you y'll take the bus there's one more option get to that later and we are back in perfect timing too because this car I choose to run it on 100 octane Race Fuel and uh we're really low right about now how goes it this is not a Ferrari park this is this is a Lamborghini Park no this just for your mercy it's the windshield wiper control unit I don't know if you can see that little bulge right there on the side of that thing burnt up right there I see a bulge see a bulge oh sorry sorry sorry Damon keep your head in the game smia just shakes her head look at her you're working on the broken regulator and the wiel wiper yep yeah window regulator is done so that's good to go no way yeah thank you Mike careful you got a white shirt on thank you oh sh you're good you're good like legit you got real lucky I got lucky well thank you for fixing that yeah no problem this thing is burnt up so I'm going to see if I can change that little relay on there cuz these things are used $1,200 no because Lamborghini it's insane hey look he just showed up Mr jww real pleasure to meet you meet likewise dude Formula Drift Champion Mike Assa great to meet you dude honestly Tim the Tool Man Taylor to the Tool Man how you think you good yes see it's h in here I don't know you look this is this is like today is like actually not bad is it okay I'm from the UK man it's always cold some days are pretty brutal is the exhaust as nuts as the svj just stand right there no no no I'm not standing here stand right there the svj insane really what am I doing here yeah not loud at all that was not chill I can't hear 4500 RPM goes to 8 may need getting boys now to make a pipe huh I would give you this car one of two problem still so in the meantime instead of giving you my baby yeah why don't I give you Dave's baby let's this is great Dove know I want to send him a message of me R this car this is not clean at all does Dave know about this about what about this let me take this car cuz I'm going to send him send him a picture of absolutely ripping on it he he has no idea great perfect this is a great angle awesome dad right then we're going to dry this thing this really subtle car the seat's fixed you can't move it okay so yeah Dave's told you'll be narrow enough for it but you can't like seat fitment good it's okay so you can't move the seat no it's fixed yeah but you might be able to move you know what you could probably move if you want steering column yeah there's the steering all the way out fired up cold start let's go this one's not that's the baby engine block smoke Jesus all right they needed a car this driving position is so weird I'm like it's so far back from the wheel I know that's why I said like make sure you can drive it yeah it's s I'm like I have the same problem proper Fast and Furious style like yeah yeah it's it's Dave's driving style well he's fixed it like this that's how he likes it apparently Dave what the hell man dude Nobody Knows Why Dave does what Dave does but Dave does what Dave does that could be on a t-shirt yeah more this way this way more you don't want to take the mirror off yeah more this way let me open the gate for you too it's so strange like you're not making this up it is weird no I'm not I'm this is not for a fact like this is really the wire right there oh yeah yeah it's like a little M Mike is that for Dave's Bluetooth cuz Dave loves Bluetooth maybe it's maybe it's what Dave loves Bluetooth I think it's Dave's Bluetooth pointless journy because it's cool it's 6 6:00 right to get to this restaurant yeah 7 this time right yeah then I'm going to immediately come back and come straight back again yeah are you master debating not to go I'm master master master bait this is how it rolls How We Roll we don't know what they're doing they might not be leaving James has decided not to go to the dinner that he was supposed to go to that he's already put off two days in a row because the LA traffic right now is so bad that it'll take him an hour to get the dinner and by the time he gets there within 30 minutes he'll have to turn around and come back because we have a la car cruise to go to tonight that he doesn't want to miss we got a bit of our Overstock merch shipped to the HQ me and I have been in here for 30 minutes tearing down boxes trying to find out what exactly we do have here none of it's organized this whole stack of boxes used to look like that stack of boxes I didn't even realize but we have a small batch of Gumball Europe designed hoodies left the ones that are designed after the theen Livery that was on the svj these are my favorite hoodie of all time when it comes to this colorway we'll figure out exactly what we have here but we also have some new stuff we specifically have finally the actual real version of this this is a prototype and they made it with red and I was like well I don't really want red I wanted something closer to the lar color and exclusively this hat for the first time and for now we'll be sold at our next event which will be by the time you see this video August 13th so if you are in the LA area we are having a block party of all block parties and we will have a merch tent set up where you can buy the exclusive DD racing in the lar pink current when we started DDE 2013 to 2024 but we'll be selling these for the first time here exclusively at the HQ and in this box this box has something that we sold in the past but this is a completely new version of it a new variant now here we go can you guess what would be in here oh oh nice so you can pick up a hat and a stainless mug DD Racing Edition I'm taking one of those H right right yeah nice take one of those too if you want nice all this stuff's going to be sold at our block party event if that goes well and people love it turn around there if you go flat brim brand you can put it there like that you go that's what it's that's what it's for to James is going to drive Dave's Car around on the block think's crazy right it is crazy it sounds so good so do you have the sport button on no not yet so hit sport sport and then see where the traction control and all that is up on the yeah pull that back and hold it now it's all wheeel drive so now you can go rip around it won't it's cutting out on you I can hear it cutting the throttle yeah yeah I can feel it know by the way I'm not going to be drifting around little less angle uh the the tires are cold for the record James is a very good driver I hope the throttle response of this thing's amazing yeah it's a supercharger you can thank VF engineering for that honestly the pickup's really impressive it's it's immediate oh yeah like I'd go so far to say it's got a better pickup than the original engine had it's absolutely instantaneous ridiculous right brilliant yeah it's super cool so what what power not warm so yeah yeah it's not warm that's okay Dave okay Dave does bad things when car when cars are cold and girls we're we're starting with this driving position that's the first bad thing that you've done here Dave look at me horrific I'm like like straight leg straight armed are you kidding me yeah it's crazy never looked over a dash like this and say a sports car I don't I don't know how you drive this day I'm like this back up all the way to the gate and rip it down here but just remember ashalt polished concrete that is very slippery very slippy and there's also dirt debris and everything makes it more slippery that's not the braking Zone got some smoke look on the tire there so keep in mind when I said James is a very good driver James got trained to actually drive an F1 car so I have to ask you something when you stand here yeah it looks huge right yeah oh when you're in it it's not you run out of Tomac fast when you start driving a car here you run out of Tomac fast at 45 M an hour and sliding the car and you find out how different the surfaces are the surface grip is massively different like you'll trans I from loads of grip and feel to just ice and then it comes back and snatches back with traction again in a space that all of a sudden becomes quite quite intimidating tight you had a couple were kicked back towards the K Rail and you're only 4 ft away you can like feel it yeah the other thing I would say is I don't know how you get any work done here cuz this is all I'd be doing all day the truth is we do this all day all the time we just don't always film it because sometimes these guys believe it or not get tired of it seriously I don't know how man I know everyone's like more Donuts move on and I'm like that's why we got this place and it's totally legal it's what a space to have like in LA as well it's a it's a unicorn dude I I don't know it's just so good yeah it's so this is worse than having a simulator in the office 100% you no work end up if you can do donuts this thing will do donuts cuz it's primarily rear wheel drive Dave does them you just have to get it to kick out right here and you should be able to do donuts right here like do two circles I don't want to be the guy to stack Dave's car all right that's actually you know that's a very hon that's a very resp I do but I don't want to do it at the same time all right you like it yeah I do I really like it I'm impressed with the throttle response mhm the standard car is nothing like that nothing it's nothing like that a gyo no even a squadro Corsa it's still pretty boring absolutely W it up right big time yeah it's awesome I can see why Dave likes it so much yeah let's see jump in would you oh oh d That's so much fun my eyes are burning oh it's so good it's so good I honestly don't know how you can do anything around here also why if the car is not strong enough this is why the car is break break that's why you're snapping 599 Dave has snapped three 599 axles and blowing up a clutch I will show you a video yeah when I got my 599 the first day I got it I did Donuts inside the building and caught the car on fire from doing donut I did donuts for 2 minutes straight it got so hot from the headers it lit the loom on fire which is what Hector was talking about replacing Christ so we can safely say that 599's on made to take a b well both power steering pumps went out on them they both have trophy Truck power steering pumps now we both have upgraded alternators okay which both failed and now we're just dealing with the fan staying on but they but when but when they're running that awesome like yeah throw turn let me just do a uturn sure ready u 10 time before car week yeah I think uh we might need to change the tires but that's okay we have a stock po wow that exhaust is a little hot can I say it yeah TI are coming out Dave salary\n"
