no; just an nsx and sti..., but that 355 will be coming in the spring. I just participated in the drive event... hope that makes sence. I was obviously shotgun in each...

favorite?
even though I didn't drive it, the CGT is just perfect.. i feel like Alonso saying that... but it simply is the perfect car LOL.

this drive was already from 40 days ago..... I am a bit late to update

with some luck, perhaps tomarrow I'll drive something interesting... we'll see...

T-Bird · 12-16-2006, 10:20 PM

which NSX did you drive? 5 or 6 speed (I know it wasn't the underpowered automatic)

Definitely didn't seem like the Supercharged one.

ViperASR · 12-17-2006, 01:39 AM

cool man, I like the NSX video. I like how one of you says that the driver in the CGT is braking more than he has to, but if that were my 400k car, and I was on unfamiliar, bumpy, make a mistake and ur saying HI! to a tree, I would be braking more than I had to, so pics of my crashed CGT in the woods wouldnt show up on JW

Nice pics as well

T-Bird-did they make a supercharged NSX?

TopGearNL · 12-17-2006, 04:20 PM

Holy shit Nth, great pics!! :shock:

Seems like you had a great day! Can we expect a write-up about the Nsx and Sti?

ARMAN · 12-17-2006, 04:29 PM

I was wondering whats the wining noise in the NSX video if its 355 that does it... and then saw CGT is infront of 355

Nice pics Nth

TT · 12-17-2006, 04:35 PM

Nice bunch of cars, and nice to feel them all the same day I bet!

The CGT pics are nice, too bad the last one (your fav I suppose), is, qualitywise, a bit under the bar, but resized at 1024 it's still ok for the contest I guess

I wish they did, but if you look through the pics the red one says Supercharged by Comptech on the rear. I've experienced a few of those in both seats and they are fast at that point.

chest3r · 12-17-2006, 10:46 PM

Nice pics !!

That yellow Z06 looks great with those wheels

nthfinity · 12-17-2006, 10:47 PM

T-bird -
its a 6 speed

the Comptech NSX is also about 100 kilo's less weight

he wasn't going fast at all that day... I think he saves it for the track mostly.

yeah, i could clean that one up a bit TBH.... maybe I will. but I agree it is too grainy really.

my favorite photo? with no IS still, and really everything pretty impromptu, and wasn't shot in raw unfortunatley. I don't know if i have a favorite per. say

The NSX has a great chassis, the STi has a good engine, and the CGT is perfect.

hows that for a JW review

Looks like a fun day, must have been nice to ride along in the group.

Not trying to criticize your pics Nth, but as TT said, some seem really grainy... I noticed on some pics the ISO is like 800, maybe that's part of it? I'm not sure if you have a limit with your website, but 250kb seems a bit small; maybe a bump up to 350kb per pic would help. Again not trying to put down your pics, just some suggestions.

not shooting in raw killed it, higher ISO doesn't help, bumpy roads, moving different directions to the cars being photographed, unusual and cramped positions in mid-engine cars doesn't make it easy for a 6'2" guy

As i said, I don't have a favorite here; It is the content that is imporant. the stationary photos are much different then the ones shot while driving.
