Question

I've just seen 1 (911 turbo) and 2 (Cossie Vs Supra)

What do you think of these?

Personally was a bit disappointed with them. But I have to admit, that's down to me seeing Ghost Rider (motorbike) film before them.

I think they'd have been better had there have been more external footage, but the makers admitted that they had to shelve all of that due to legal reasons. I assume to stop the drivers being arrested!

The second one with the Cossie and Supra IMO was better than the first though, and the noise the Supra makes is superb.

I think there's a new one out, with a few different cars in.

To be honest they bored me Sh**less!!!

Yep,they drive the cars fast and are a bit wreckless but it doesnt get me going.Now go and get a copy of Ghostrider 2 and prepare to be amazed.This guy does it on a bike and during daytime,not night like GIS.

Prepare for a 500bhp Hyabusa Turbo overtaking another bike doing 300 kph.....ON THE BACK WHEEL!!!!

A very good watch!

GAFS 3 is a honda nsx just driving around stockholm at dawn and then he gets in a boat and drives off!!! Pretty poo tbh

THe best bit of 2 is the rally clips at the end and the saph going for a cross country run into the trees.

Deff not worth buying any of em.
Ashkay I'll bring along my copy of 3 on sunday if you wanna borrow it.

2 was the best - the Cossie/Supra is superb!

Especially the bit with the Cossie flat out on the motorway and supra sails past it and into the distance



Edit to add the Cossie was a bit of a wuss though, he should have removed his DV as it enabled us to hear everytime he was lifting and bottling it!!!

GIS3 was very poor, yet to see GIS4 - looks like a Corvette and another NSX.

TBH from seeing the trailer these have gotta be staged, either that or the police are total numpties. Corvette goes short way round roundabout to make a left turn, cop car goes all the way around?? WTF??

They can't exactly act it out like hollywood chase lol
The rawness of it is one of the appeals, and as seen earlier the external shots had to be cut, and they lost a few cameras through stones etc.

Krade, thanks for the offer - I have part 3 on the way - you haven't got 4? (We'll have some of our onboard cameras on sunday!)

I agree that they are somewhat disappointing from an all action standpoint, but then like it was said, they are quite raw. Could do with another camera angle here and there...

The sound in 2 of the cossie must include an induction kit, although it only says a dump valve on the website FAQ.

PMSL @ the cop car in trailer for 4 - WTF???!!

Ghost Rider was quite good, i have it on dvd. I haven't seen the 2nd one yet, or many of the getaway in stockholm dvds. Will do one day.

Does anyone know where to purchase the camera/equipment they use ?
