has anyone bought the new zoom speacial edition magazine? thats our car on the cover. we just got back from melbourne from the supercar round and the car hit the wall on the back straight at over 220km\h. did a bit of damage to the frontend but the driver{fred} walked away with a sore neck and thats all. we have cut the front bars of the car and should have it fixed in a couple of weeks. the throttle jammed at full noise at the end of the straight, the motec data said the wheels locked at 245km\h when he jammed on the anchors about 40 feet from the wall. the G meter said the hit was 7.5G's. amazing how a well designed chassis can take a huge hit and have minumal damage. our car on the cover is one of three wee look after in the national sport sedans the other two are the calibra that i crew chief which got 9th and 9th and the 500k jag that got 5th and 6th . a link for zoom with the cover shot. just thought you guys would like to see what i play with for a living.
