At the end of May I got a call from the Subaru dealership telling me my 2013 BRZ Limited had arrived and was ready for me to take delivery. After a grueling 1,000 mile break-in period I was looking forward to see what the car was capable of. I shipped the car to the autobahn to do some high speed runs in the car and attempt the top speed. The car is limited by its aerodynamics unfortunately so I had to get a good stretch which favored the car which allowed me to get up to 147 MPH. This isn't very high speed compared to other exotic cars but for a 200HP Subaru I was very impressed seeing what it's capable of on the top speed spectrum! For those of you who don't know this is a rear wheel drive Subaru and the car is fantastic to drive along with drifting ;)

After picking up my friends new Bugatti at nearly midnight on a Friday night we got right back on the road to drive back to LA. The highways were nearly empty which was so tempting for us! After 10 minutes of highway driving we were pulled over by an orange county sheriff. No tickets were issued thankfully, he just wanted to checkout the car since he has never seen one before and didn't know what it was. I was amazed hearing the Veyron on the highway from outside the car. The car had a fierce roar under hard acceleration! For having a stock Exhaust it sounded incredible. At one point of our drive we ran into the highway being shut down because of a bad accident so we pulled off until traffic started moving again. It was quite the night with the entire trip down, picking up the car, and an exciting drive back! It was at least a 6 hour journey round trip but coming back into Hollywood around 2am it was a really nice feeling being back with the car. I really enjoyed the entire experience! Hopefully all of you enjoy the video as well.

Getting the opportunity to take delivery of a brand new Bugatti Veyron doesn't come around too often. Thanks to my good friends I had the chance to get the once in a lifetime experience and filmed it to share with all of you.
Getting from LA to San Diego on a friday night is an absolute nightmare with gridlock traffic most of the way. Luckily I was driving my friends Maybach which kept us comfortable for the drive there. The owner of Symbolic Motors was extremely generous and waited for our late night arrival to pickup the car. When we got there he had the new Bentley lighting up the beautiful Bugatti. It was truly a surreal experience. Once we sorted through everything that came with the Veyron we started our trip back to Los Angeles. Make sure you subscribe for part 2 where I record our incredible drive back including us getting pulled over!

Matte white Bugatti Veyron full throttle acceleration

Last week Miller Motorcars had an event unveiling the new Rolls Royce Phantom Series 2 and my friend came up in his gorgeous matte white Bugatti Veyron. The car is still wrapped in stickers because we just did the Gold Rush Rally from Los Angeles to Miami! This is the same car my friend and I took delivery of late last year driving the Maybach to San Diego late at night but it was red and black with brown interior before. This is a quick video from the car at the event but the acceleration at the end was incredible!!

Ferrari F40 LM In Car Footage
First off let me start by thanking the owner of this incredible Ferrari F40 LM for letting me mount my GoPro in his car while he took it on the track to qualify for a race!! Seeing video from inside an F40 is rare let alone the epic version of the LM. The video is very long and mostly raw footage to share the experience with all of you to check out and hopefully enjoy.
This weekend was the Ferrari Racing Days at Limerock in Connecticut which had Historics and 458 Challenge series. The F40 LM qualified in first place on Friday and took home the victory on Saturday with a blisteringly fast lap time of 54 seconds. Please leave your comments and subscribe for more supercar videos. Enjoy! :)

Today was our last day in Indianapolis so I had one of my friends from NY fly out to ride back in the Gallardo Spyder with me since the drive is a little bit over 800 miles and it would be boring to do alone. I think he is more excited then I am!

AMS Alpha Omega GT-R Top Speed Record: 233mph Drift!!!
After smashing the GT-R 1/4 mile record at the TX2K12 with an 8.62@173.81mph pass, the Alpha Omega GT-R went straight to the Texas Mile in an attempt to reset the GT-R top speed record of 218mph.
FRIDAY
The morning was spent preparing the Alpha Omega for tech inspection. A 1/2 mile shakedown pass was performed early afternoon. With much more power than what we had worked with last October, the Alpha Omega was literally flying down the track. Nonetheless, Ivan Phipps, the projects technician and driver for the Alpha Omega kept at it - pulling a 221mph top speed late Friday afternoon which was enough to claim the record!
SATURDAY
With the absence of wind Saturday morning, the decision was made to press on. The Alpha Omega only used approximately 1050whp of its available 1600whp on Friday's record pass. With approximately 1250whp dialed in, the crew wanted to see if the car could at least break the 230mph barrier before heading home for the weekend.
On Saturday's one and only pass down the Mile, Ivan was able to get the Omega to the 1/2 mile marker with a speed of 197mph. The car ran loose with stock aero and absence of a rear wing, but the throttle remained pegged to the floor. Ivan passed the 1 mile marker at 233.1mph.
It was a new record for the R35 GT-R, but not without a hitch. The Omega hit a dip in the runway past the mile marker which caused it to bounce. Combined with the effect of the parachute, the force was enough to lift the rear wheels of the Omega off the ground. When the car rebounded, it lost control, sliding more than 90 degrees sideways.
We plan to continue testing the limits of the GT-R platform with improved aero and a final drive gear. To follow the Alpha Omega GT-R project, join us at Alpha GT-R or AMS Performance on Facebook.

I guess when you are hungry it doesn't matter what kind of car you are in, you are going to stop and get food! Last summer I was in Greenwich, Connecticut when I came across a sight you usually don't see. This beautiful Audi R8 was parked at McDonalds with the owner inside getting some food! I shot this short clip as he drove off to his next adventure. Greenwich however is the home of supercars and on a weekend in the summer you will see a ton of supercars!
