Awesome.. but I don't have the $ Maybe when I grow up and finish college.

Anyone seen the Gumball 3000 on MTV's Jackass? That was the funniest thing I had seen.

I don't think it will be nearly as wild as the last one. Nothing like trying to run packs of mega$$$ cars through the former USSR.

We all should get behind one person and car that we think could really win. Then, sponser them and let them race in Our name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be cool!

Yea! Everyone can sponser my turbo'd C220. The Lamborghini and Ferraris will blow me off the road and throw their garbage at me but who cares?

Screw Gumabll now that I think of it, I bet I can get a group of friends to do it the old way, unofficial and high speeds! No fees, no connections to enter, just a bunch of car guys taking whatever they have from NYC to LA! Winner gets his car washed and everyone gets together and tells stories of the trip!

Hi
Out of interest DTM FAN, is that a light pressure turbo on your C220? What kind of power does it make, and how does it compare with a 230 Kompressor?

later

This seems interesting. Since they're ending up in LA, I might be at the place where they end up to see all the crazy cars.
