Is that film for real? It almost looks sped up. Steve |

Yeah, I've seen this before. I heard that the sky is different colors and that it was a lot of video editing to try and make it real.

You gotta admit this is pretty funny even though we know it ain't happening! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

It sounds like the car is taking it easy. It seems it did not get out of 3d gear. Nor does it seem the TA used NOS.
I do think the video was crafted to make the go-ped look as fast as the TA. |

If it was for real that Goped would have to have at least 60 hp and beable to trap the 1/4 in triple digits. I really don't think any one would want to screaming that fast on a Goped. Maybe I am wrong.

I spoke with Rick, who creates the Fuel Slut videos. He echoed that the nitrous on the go-ped was only there for show value, and the TA was sandbagging (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
