    GT3 gets taken by a, uh...it can't be!

    I can't believe this:

    Hello: Now I know what to do with my 1991 VW van! Install that twin turbo engine and go. Thanks Eric

    Give the GT 3 another few seconds of air time and he'd have re passed and said bye bye. The Aston really slowed the Porsche down. Cool video though...I love You Tube. A whole new world is opening up to us.

    Thanks for sharing K.

    Say what you will, it takes a lot of balls to fly through Eau Rouge in a bus!

    No doubt, and hats off to the driver of that bus. Awesome to see it appear in the screen....like what the f*#k is that?. I was only commenting that the video was cut short of the GT3 re-passing. It was obviously only a matter of time.

    its a bus. maybe he can take pride in the fact that he can haul more luggage, but I dont think so. I was at a DE years ago at road atlanta, we all thought we were hot shoes, shifter carts, track prepped 911s, we all had lots of experience, so we thought. some guy came out in a mustang 5.0 rental, with 3 passengers, smoked everybody. It was awesome bill from dawsonville. lets give the bus driver some credit. here is a bargain GT3 that perhaps the driver ran out of talent. http://www.verastar.com/WebSite/Deta...recid=17000892

    The flying brick strikes again!

    I was at a DE with the Audi club 10 years ago and was running with the lower powered cars when a guy showed with a 68 bug. The bug had a relatively stock 1700 cc, and was lowered, and was running street rubber. Needless to say, the very experienced driver in the bug ran circles around the rest of the field. What he didn't have in the straights, he carried in more than enough momentum through the corners by following a great line.

    I learned alot that day about power versus skill.

    I go pretty much the same info

    After watching it a couple of times I opened another screen and started doing the Alta Vista translate German to English and when it came up with the bus having all the 993 stuff I said yeah that's why.

    That is one hell of a tricked out Splitty, Samba, Bulli, Bus or whatever you want to call it!
