Chris Rado takes the NFS AWD tC for a spin @ Miller Motorsports Park!

[junbanzai]

japanese tuners keep comin here in the U.S. to break records , i say we should send Rado to Japan to SHATTER theirs

[Legofan1401]

He's crazy, his car is up to 1000 horsepower !

[bristol628]

Is he driving auto or manual.

[killer2droids]

@bristol628

Automatic because he's not moving his fingers or hands to shift.

[DrPeeper101]

@killer2droids Actually he does have buttons for shifting on his steering wheel. It's hard to see, but he's using them. He has two buttons on either side of the wheel to adjust the boost.

[SKEGZ]

that little civic is quick

[MrPastoman]

he is shifting with he's thumb, I saw it in shift 2...hahaha

[tantheory69]

WHY ISNT HE SHIFTING?????

[raeshaunroman]

@tantheory69 Automatic ftw?



[mpc2100]

only on straight way he can only make it not on turn too slow and he don't know how to use transmission is that all know!!! freaks!!!!

[mpc2100]

fast car slow driver, class C to top class, I'm not impress, he is a bull shit!!!!!

[Kent133]

@mpc2100 I agree. His lines, his shifts, his initiations on 2/3's of the corners were shit. He missed most of the apex's. The only reason why I agree with that shitty driving is because of the P.O.S driver in the civic. He was all over the place. If the Scion driver had the course to himself his time would be faster. I think we was afraid of the Civic hitting him.

[trd88noz]

@Kent133 POS driver in the civic? he was leading with only less than 280HP believe it or not. he probably didnt pass the civic on any corners because he was afraid to hit the civic!

[Kent133]

@trd88noz I doubt he was leading. He was probably getting lapped. And yes, P.O.S driver in the CIVIC. Notice the tire smoke around 2 of the first few corners, let alone the understeer through 3/4 of the track. If you know you're slowing someone down you don't push harder, you get out of their way. And yes the civic would have probably hit him. Taking into consideration that the Civic couldn't maintain a decent line.

[trd88noz]

@Kent133 you're funny. all you said were "i think", "i doubt".. i actually know the guy drove the civic. i'm a good friend of him and a lot of people say that he's a fast driver, in fact he's one of the fastest drivers we have in the states. do you even race or track your car? i dont see any track videos in your channel. yeah, you're full of shit. you know nothing about driving in a track. come to AZ and i'll introduce you to my buddy, the civic owner and driver.

[trd88noz]

@Kent133 if you watched the scion celebrity race couple months ago where Rado was in, he finished second to last. just because the last car wrecked. LOL and he TOLD the media why he finished behind, "because his car doesnt have 1000HP".

[Kent133]

@trd88noz That has nothing to do with what we were talking about? Lol.

[Kent133]

@trd88noz And you would figure with that bigass wing in front he'd have plenty of downforce to take turns at 150mph! LOL

[sciontcdude]

respect to the k20 eg6 that rado was behind....pretty good power and good driving

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

Scion Scion you are clear for take off on Runway 10 proceed as planned.

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

dont think its an automatic, i think its this car that on the steering wheel theres a button on each side that gear up or down similar to a paddle shifter. besides wouldnt it be better if it wasnt automatic so you have better control of the engine?

[mrsquishyboots]

@CaptainBig8IIIIIID hes also got scramble boost which takes his turbo to unheard of 50+psi

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

[8E6JI]

For the people wondering about the transmission go here. At the beggining of the video, there it is clear as day the center console, and even the steering wheel.. so you wont blabber about paddle shift. It automaticcc!!!

/watch?v=8MU6R3d8Sps

[504deeznuts]

@8E6JI he has thumb shifters bro...

[APACHESTRATHE140]

Automatic? i thought it would be modified with F1 gear shift

[ProTuner06]

@APACHESTRATHE140 ???? WTF are you talking about? I saw this car in person and it's just like every other race car. Manual Sequential Transmission with Straight Cut Gears.

[xC00KIEBEASTx]

if you play shift 2 please add me, none of my frieds have it xKILL4C00KIESx

[mcshanksta]

2:03

[killajames07]

i dont blame u at all. most people play the game like they play split second or burnout paradise. u crash people u win.

[thatbristolbloke]

if only people drove like this in shift 2 instread of bein noobs

[JumpyGhostFace]

@thatbristolbloke Its gonna keep happening cause they continue to complain about not having there underground 3 and so forth. If only they knew how a car actually drove.

[ProTuner06]

@JumpyGhostFace They don't drive like they do in that shitty game. Not unless you got a good Mod installed. I drive on a real track with real cars and sorry that game is fail on REAL driving physics. The ONLY sims to come even close are the PC specific games. NOT shit 2.

[JumpyGhostFace]

@ProTuner06 Trust me dude i know what you mean. I use to do racing but now i just do some bike racing. I agree that the NFS shift games are definately not up to part, but I just dont see the need for most people to complain about shift when nfs is bringing out another title that might or might not have what everyone wants.

[bebitoaiwa11]

woww

[BoarderX]

@BloodMagex That makes sense. I'm glad to hear that. I'm a fan of chris and was taken aback by the video (and some comments). Thanks for pointing that out to me - I don't claim to know a lot about this kind of racing!

[BoarderX]

The civic guy kept ahead and pulled away a few times and I doubt he's anywhere near 1200hp. Chris has been running drags for the past 15 years, so it will take time for him to learn the nuances of this type of racing. I can't wait to see him in a few years when he has more race time on these courses!

[BloodMagex]

@BoarderX You do realize he already holds track records so why would he need to take so much time. And not to start an argument or anything, but it kinda seems obvious that he's just testing the car out, not setting a hot lap yet.

[csbr75]

1200 hp, its in a Toyota chassi and smoke anything. Eat that Veyron SS

[Lucienator]

cool thx

[Lucienator]

what class/series does this race in?

[DanielShepherd1]

@Lucienator he does drag racing but his scion is for time attack

[8E6JI]

@Lucienator unlimited

[Gummby69]

OMG that was painful. lol the guy in the civic atleast had some clue.. and whats with the big fuk off drag helmet hahah?

[untouchabledriver87]

Ok... who drop-kicked a hornet's nest and put it under the hood?? lol haha

[arbitortc]

I wanna know how fast he was going about 2:12 haha

[MetricHotrodsdotcom]

this car is a record setter, but not with rado behind the wheel.

[hoestess1]

this driver sucks

[8E6JI]

@hoestess1 its a test lap man. that is one of the first times that the car has been put on a track. that thing is a monster. chris rado has so many track records under his belt, time attack, and drag..so no, he doesnt suck

[yeotimothy]

Thats no hot lap ._.

[Sj1bby]

What kind of shifter is used. does he has knobs on the wheel or something? caus he doesn`t use peddle shifters... @ 1:47 and > you never see him move the hands for a shift.

[DriftTaifuu]

@Sj1bby He might have buttons on his steering wheel just like on Forza!

[Sj1bby]

@DriftTaifuu I kind of guessed that.. but wanted to know for sure.

[8E6JI]

@Sj1bby its semi-automatic..computer runs that gearbox, and i believe its also manual air shifted

[blueblue101]

@8E6JI actually the gearbox in the car is like any other race gearbox: manual sequential, straight cut gears nothing special about it. Plus many drivers dont want to trust a computer, to get the most controll out of the car you also need to control the shifts

[ProTuner06]

@8E6JI What blueble101 said.

[Doggepp]

The helmet is sick?!?! what about the freaking car?!

[SimplyJoeboe]

Why didn't I see any shifting?

[madmestesoskillz]

@SimplyJoeboe he has flappy paddles. if you look closely to the steering wheel you could see flat plastic like paddles.

[hellbender813]

@madmestesoskillz i read the modified mag on this car he uses the air shift system like on drag bikes its faster the paddles its 2 buttons one up one down

[CasatiDBC]

Co ma wspólnego Hunda Syfik i prezerwatywa ?

Obie rzeczy przeszkadzają w ruchu ^^

[SuperJDMFan]

Like this new JDM page on Facebook search: JDM-Drift-Race

[juansua88]

i dont see him shifting

[sktrsam2]

that helmet hes wearing is so sick

[dustinclark83]

@sktrsam2 Mortal Kombat for sure

[Tekvicious]

Such a sick car...such great craftsmanship went into the build. Turns me on like the old HKS Altezza wundercar... :)

[KLdutchman9]

sounds like a million angry bees:P

[joyride199]

@KLdutchman9 Haha it does;D

[killer2droids]

@KLdutchman9

2 million...

[FCSNFUL]

he should put two wings on the front!

[steelerfreek007]

Shades of the suzuki escudo of years past. Prepare for domination!!!!

[junjun0722]

he's just playing with that civic

[KillaSmit]

Raw

[rhythmnsmoke]

Getting this baby dialed in and prepare for domination.

[ProTuner06]

AWD Scion tC = SEX! I LOVE the look of the car too. Much better than the original Scion.
