    I worked for PPG for several years and I was fortunate enough to see many of these high end paints. No video or picture can do them justice, the ones you see on the road often are not what this one is. You'll rarely see the good paint because it's 40k a gallon in some cases. But if you do see it in person its depth and colour can be breathtaking. 2 to 3 colour flip paint is nothing compared to the real stuff.

    It's definitly 1300 NM of torque , not pound feet.

    alright, i love all your works, and normally wont do a call out. but im a custom painter by trade, and customs builder. no way there is 24L of paint on that thing!!!! it would be riverbottom cracked all over the place. 4 liters per gallon, would equal 6 gallons of base coat. you need a max of a gallon for that car, maybe an extra qt for the jams and underhood. 4 to 6 liters to do that car. the things people will say and do to get that spotlight. frustrating at times.

      ​@@A_lesson_in_Hatedoing some math says that it's making abt 1000 ft/lbs. Let's just say for ease of math that it makes peak torque at 8500rpm, which is reasonable because redline is 10,000rpm. And we'll say that at 8500rpm, it makes about 650hp (out of it's peak of 829). Using that logic to convert HP to torque we multiply the (HP x RPM)/5252. So (650 x 8500)/5252=1,051.98.

    One thing I dislike about current car styling is the abuse of black wheels. Early 00's was my high school days and black rims were for all black cars with tints. Chrome was the ish during this timeline but I'm not saying we need to chrome everything lol. New cars need to go back to the brushed aluminum look. I believe thats what its called. Regardless, the black wheel trend needs to end and be for the murdered out look only! This might get some people butthurt or just get me called an idiot 😆.
