Correction for your title, it is not WAH-64. it is AH-64D "Longbow" Apache. none-the-less very good movie.

The Best Gunship in the world, flown by the best pilots in the world, The British Army Apache Pilots......

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!! The US Army Apache Pilots are the best known AH-64 Pilots to man. END OF STORY!!!

It is the ugliest machine i have ever seen in my life.

ITS SUPPOSED TO BE UGLY !!! so it strikes fear into the eyes of the enemy.

No, it's a WAH-64 Apache, license-built by Westland, UK, and used by the Royal Army as the Apache AH.1.

that video rules

and ace, shaddup..

i stand corrected. i know the British bought some AH-64's from the US, made by US. guess they took a new route for getting Apaches.

Blah, wasnt that intersting.

yeah, there are a few more videos here

Here is an idea. How about enjoy/hate the movie without all the crap Ace?

heres another idea...STFU and let me do what i want.

asswombat, stfu

The video was pretty cool, except for the few cases of below-the-belt America bashing. The line about "friendly fire" was really inappropriate in my opinion. Anyway, getting back on topic, that car handles like a beast. I was actually more impressed by the moves the pilot was pulling off. I have heard how difficult it is to fly a helicopter (see my pathetic attempts in Flight Simulator ), but this guy was going all over the place, tail-whips and all .

The Elise is supposed to be the best handling car ever, and the Exige is supposed to be even better.

So we're just supposed to forget about the notorious-ness of American military f*ck-ups?

There's a saying, dating back to World War 2.

When the Germans flew overhead, the Allies ducked.
When the British flew overhead, the Germans ducked.
When the Americans flew overhead, everybody ducked.

what FS you got, i can host a session and teach you easily. email me

ccb, thanks for linking me to a page that requires registration... heh

I watch Top Gear every sunday night, and the only other TV I watch is F1 every second Monday morning...

Top Gear is a GREAT car show - and because they're closest to the worlds supply of supercars, they have the best car tests of any show I've ever seen. And yes, American bashing is what they do. Make some decent cars and they'd probably stop.

A buddy of mine has a new Elise, and it rips like hell. But only with one person on board. Adding a passenger changes the power to weight ratio so much that the car feels like a totally different vehicle.

Gimme a Murcielago, a Veyron, or a McLaren F1 any day...

Rather telling that the dinky Exige uses a Nissan engine. The totally lame driver (look how often the guy breaks his grip on the road) spends so much time waving the Union Jack that he hopes we won't notice that nothing in the infomercial except perhaps the Exige shell (probably molded from imported composite materials) is British-made.

Uses a toyota engine (that's who makes the celica), not nissan.

one of the hosts is driving, not a professional racecar driver.

and he's british. duh.

is it just me, or has ace regressed into ace again?

It really depends on how much the driver and passenger weigh, the car itself weighs around 1900 lbs, if you add 300 (150 driver, and 150 passenger) then you increase the weight to 2200, thats a 16% weight increase; while that is substantial, I don't think it would make it feel like a totally different car

I never really saw a change kur, he just had a couple of good months

See Ford GT. 'Nuff said .

Ford GT is an awesome car. But for almost 3 times the HP, you would think it would go more than 10mph faster.......

Ok, now we have moved onto the topic of ridiculous super cars

Aston Martin Vanquish
Bugatti Veyron
Ferrari Enzo
Lamborghini Murcielago
Lotus Esprit
Maybach 62
Porsche Carrera GT


IMO, the Ford GT doesn't even come close to any of those.

Of course, the best car is the Lotus 340R, followed by any Seven.

From the pics, that looks like an older Exige, one based off of the S1 Elise, the new Exige is faster

Best supercar of all time.

1970 Daytona Charger.

1st car to go over 200mph on a closed track
1st car to be outlawed by a racing body as "too fast"
The car still has lower drag than a brand new mustang.

The original is still the best!






(ok, you can stop laff'n now)

Ok after seeing this car do 206 MPH personally (it was awsome by the way) it probably needs to go that fast to get enough air past the block to cool it

Trying to run that puppy below 70 MPH or on the street for more than 1 hour, you need to;

1) Stop and cool down, or risk cracking your block and or warping your hemi-heads into non-hemi heads,

2) Hide from the Police for a few hours while laying cold wet blankets on the rad and hood to cool it.

3) Re-fuel

4) Re-tune

Rinse and repeat as needed.

are we talking about cars or helicopters?

I dont know anymore...I'm so confused

Absolutely! Tiff is my hero. I loved the show where he drove the M3. That was the best.
