We're Still (expletive deleted) Alive!!!!1!




Warning. Warning. This guy likes to use naughty words. But in his defense, it's needed. And it's pretty funny. On a related note, I read an article from Car and Driver and they claimed that the brakes can almost always overcome the engine. They tested this theory with a Camry, an Infiniti G37 convertible (not sure why it was a convertible, maybe it was a nice day), and a Roush Stage 3 Mustang. Each time the brakes overcame the engine, even from 100 mph. It did take 3 time longer (about 900 feet) to stop in the Mustang at that speed, but that also has 540 hp (last I checked the Prius wasn't close to that). And interestingly enough, the Infiniti had something (that apparently a lot of cars have) that when you hit the brakes, the throttle gets closed. Which makes sense, unless it closes every time you lightly touch the brakes. Then it seems a little ridiculous. Anyway, I figured this video is more fun than reading the article. If you really want to read the article,http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1133527&icid=autos_1354&GT1=22017#atoolb
