Thanks for the kind words!
The tech is certainly there and VR Goggles will probably make the experience more immersive. Historically, more of the fancier premium car clubs only had access to the technology as many of them have racing rooms for club members. Below is a pic of CCCMs racing room which costs in the ballpark of $60000 USD. Graphics looks cheesy from the photo vantage point and could be in for an update, but simulators like these can be a lot of fun.
What things like Vision Pro will do is miniaturize and lower the cost to where the common man can afford them and make the experience more immersive. With things like Binaural Audio, coupled with VR headsets people who don't have the budget or privilege to drive one of these amazing cars will be given the closest possible experience. Will it replicate on track or road time with the real thing, no, but technology could come close in the not so distant future. So yes, even though VR headsets might not have mass market appeal, their will a certain segment that will adopt it and it will have it's use cases.
As to me, I have never had the opportunity to drive any of the cars I post about. The fastest thing I have been in on and off track is a V6 Mustang. That said I have had the privilege to see some of the cars I post about over the course of my life either as a guest of a car club and touring private collections or at car shows.
1964-1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada
The Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada is a rare and highly collectible sports car that was produced in limited numbers from 1964-1968. It was designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, an engineer who had previously worked on high-performance cars for brands such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The 5300 GT Strada was powered by a 5.3-liter Chevrolet 327 V8 engine, which was coupled with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine produced around 365 horsepower, which gave the car impressive performance capabilities for its time. With a top speed of over 170 miles per hour, the 5300 GT Strada was one of the fastest cars of its era.
In terms of production numbers, it is estimated that only around 133 examples of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada were produced between 1964 and 1968. This rarity has contributed to the car's collectability, with well-preserved examples commanding high prices at auction.
One notable feature of the 5300 GT Strada is its sleek and aerodynamic design. The car's body was hand-built using lightweight materials such as aluminum and fiberglass, which helped to reduce weight and improve handling. The interior of the car was also meticulously crafted, with high-quality materials used throughout.
This supercar from the 60's, is a significant piece of automotive history, known for its impressive performance capabilities, stunning design, and relatively low production numbers. As a result, the 5300 GT Strada remains a highly sought-after collector's item today. #cars #carstr #carchain #carporn #grownostr #ClassicCar
Say hello to the new BMW 3.0 CSL is set to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, and it's already making waves in the automotive press. While the specs are impressive they completely missed the mark from the concept version. Here is a comparison below with the production version on top and the concept on bottom.
Completely missed the mark with styling of the new 3.0 CSL. While the design is certainly "interesting", it doesn't quite live up to the sleek, aggressive and fluid concept that was unveiled earlier. It looks too much like a widebody M4 with a no-name brand cheap bodykit!
I also will never get over the large pig nostrils on all modern BMWs starting with the 2020 revamp. Looks terrible, imo! #cars #carstr #carchain #carnews #grownostr
Agreed very awesome! Unless something happens in the future which it probably will, the GT500 Code Red will go down in history as the highest horsepower Mustang that is factory built using 93 octane. It holds that title for now and maybe forever? Who knows what the future will hold.
2003-2009 Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT
The Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT was introduced in 2003. It was developed by Lamborghini in collaboration with Reiter Engineering, a German racing team that specializes in building and racing Lamborghinis. The car was based on the already impressive Murcielago road car but was extensively modified to meet the demands of racing.
In terms of race victories, the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT was not as successful as some of its competitors, but it did achieve several notable results. Its first major victory came at the Zhuhai round of the 2004 FIA GT Championship, where it finished first in class and ninth overall. The car also won the GTS class at the 2005 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, and it took pole position at the same event in 2006.
Several drivers piloted the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT during its racing career, including Peter Kox, Fabio Babini, and Jamie Davies. Kox and Babini were the most successful drivers, scoring several podium finishes in the FIA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
In terms of technical specs, the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT featured a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine that produced around 590-640 horsepower during it's racing tenure. The car had a six-speed sequential gearbox. The bodywork was made from carbon fiber, which helped reduce weight and improve aerodynamics.
Performance-wise, the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT was certainly no slouch. It could accelerate from 0-60 mph in around 3.2 seconds and had a top speed of over 200 mph. Its advanced suspension setup allowed it to handle corners with ease, making it a formidable competitor on the race track.
The Murcielago R-GT was an impressive race car that helped establish Lamborghini as a serious player in the world of GT racing. #racing #racingcars #cars #carstr #grownostr
