WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640
This is Doug's brand-new racing sim.

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.680
We spared no expense to allow Doug to take full advantage of a Lamborghini Countach

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.400
without risking his real one getting impounded. And although this setup is relatively cheap for a Lambo,

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:23.280
with an $18,000 price tag, this virtual car eclipses the cost of many used cars.

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:29.360
There's only one small problem. It isn't currently together and I need to leave for the airport in five hours.

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:35.880
Well, then we better get cracking folks and build this as fast as we possibly can thanks to some help from our sponsor

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.560
Origin PC, who were kind enough to not just sponsor this video,

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.440
but also send over an absolute top-of-the-line PC that's even painted to resemble Doug's personal Lambo.

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:52.120
You can check that out at the link below. Now this isn't going to be the most over-the-top racing sim we've ever put together.

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:55.480
The one we have upstairs probably has a few more features,

00:00:55.480 --> 00:01:01.560
but in talking to Doug's team, it became clear that they weren't necessarily looking for the ultimate racing sim.

00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.000
They were looking for a really good racing sim that

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:15.480
actually works every time you sit down at it. That means that things like a full-motion rig, a multi-monitor setup, and VR are out of the question.

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.920
It also means we needed a little bit of help. We weren't aware we needed help,

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.680
but when we reached out to advanced sim racing, a sim racing builder in Quebec,

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.880
their co-owner, Marc-Andre, looked at our parts and he said,

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:33.160
Eh, not bad, but it would be way better if you just let us select all the best parts.

00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:39.040
So that's exactly what happened, starting with this ASR Pro cockpit with a custom paint job.

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.320
It's made of extruded aluminum, so it's super strong, easy to adjust,

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.920
and, most importantly, easily expandable with accessories like this heavy-duty TV stand,

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:54.520
a PC stand, a keyboard tray, anything you want, as cool as triple-monitor setups might be.

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.920
There are a bit of a pain in the butt to configure, especially in your various games,

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.960
so we went with the Predator Z57.

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:07.240
Have you ever seen one of these in person? No.

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.040
The resolution of it is 8K horizontally

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:18.760
by half of that vertically. So you're basically running at half of 8K,

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:22.920
and this is about the wildest curved monitor we had ever seen.

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.640
There we go, not bad, right? Wow, it really does seem like one giant windshield.

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:33.800
Yeah, the only drawback is this only runs at 120 Hertz.

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.680
I'm very sorry. All I know is that it has a Lamborghini on it.

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.760
Fair enough. Everything's got a Lamborghini on it. Let's take a look at this rig that Origins sent over.

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:48.520
Even though we are targeting a mere 120 frames per second,

00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:54.280
because of the resolution and the importance of maximum visual fidelity in sim racing,

00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.400
Origins spared no expense creating Doug's PC.

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:03.800
We're talking a Ryzen 99950X processor with 16 cores and a 5.7 GHz max turbo,

00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:10.520
a Corsair H150i LCD liquid CPU cooler, an ASUS ROG Corsair X670E hero motherboard,

00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:16.200
64 gigs of Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 memory, an NVIDIA RTX 4090,

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:21.640
4 terabytes of NVMe storage, and a Corsair RM 1200X shift power supply.

00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:25.640
They've got a couple limited time offers running right now, we'll have those linked in the video description,

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:32.120
but the most important thing is not limited time, and that is that their warranty includes free lifetime phone service,

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.160
which don't take this the wrong way, but you seem like you might need.

00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:37.240
Yeah, definitely. Car guy.

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.840
Tech guy. I needed to be coached on how to pronounce Lamborghini, it's Kuntak.

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.280
Kuntash. Kuntash, sorry. We all got our specialties.

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:52.360
So with that in mind, the trading wheels come off now, and you are going to put together the rest of the car PC.

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.880
The good news is most of this should be pretty self-explanatory, like this.

00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.840
Steering wheel. Exactly. This is your wheel base.

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:06.040
Moza Racing R21. It has 21 Newton meters of peak torque.

00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:11.960
You would know torque, right? I got torque. Yeah. So that basically means that it could pretty much break your wrist

00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.800
if you were stupid enough to put your hands in it, and the force feedback went wild.

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.680
Well, okay, that's what I'm looking for for one of these. That 21 Newton meters of torque, that's a maximum.

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.720
And in most cases, you wouldn't experience more than about 10 in an actual race car,

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.520
unless you crash, of course. So you're probably going to want to adjust that down for daily use.

00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:34.120
Being direct drive, though, it means that it's going to be like super responsive

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.560
and realistic feeling, or at least that's the theory I have.

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:45.080
You're going to be the last judge of that for me. Cool. I'm excited to find out. I'm legitimately curious to find out how close we're going to get the actual racing experience.

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:48.680
So am I, especially because we have the real steering wheel. Oh, no way.

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.760
They didn't tell me they got this. This is the OG wheel from the actual car.

00:04:52.760 --> 00:04:58.200
And then we've just got a Moza adapter plate on it. Yeah, we CNC machined the little adapter.

00:04:58.200 --> 00:05:02.360
Oh my god, that is so cool. It's going to feel very real.

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.840
Okay, but we're not ready to do the steering wheel yet.

00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:11.800
You know, it's funny. I was going to volunteer to be the one to screw it in. And then I realized, like, you probably have more experience working on

00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:15.800
low rigs than I do. So I guess you get to screw it in.

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.920
Right. And hopefully I'll get to do some of the cabling, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.920
No, don't worry. I'll save some for you. Here we go.

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.360
No, no, no. We don't need a jack. We're good. We're good. I got it. I got it. Don't even worry.

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:33.480
Don't even worry. I promise I have very rarely dropped heavy things on other YouTubers' faces.

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.680
You promise you're not going to kill me? I mean, it probably wouldn't kill him, right? No.

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.400
This really is the perfect intersection of tech and cars, right?

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:44.920
Like the experience of working on it. Right, right. That is true. Not that different.

00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.800
It's not. Now, tell me something. They seemed really proud of this seat for some reason.

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.440
Yeah. Is what's the story behind the seat? This is a very close approximation of a real Lamborghini seat from this era.

00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:59.640
The same look, the same stitching, the same sort of feel.

00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:04.200
I think we found it on eBay. It was probably out of a car that crashed and killed somebody.

00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:06.120
I'm kidding. Probably just caught on fire.

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.960
But the seat's good. Yeah, the seat was really hard to get into this.

00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:15.640
If you look, we had to make a completely custom plate on the bottom

00:06:15.640 --> 00:06:19.400
because these are like fiberglass straight into the car. It was awful.

00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:22.440
Oh, that's super cool. Great work, Justin.

00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:26.040
Thank you. I realized we didn't even talk about the pedals. Have a feel.

00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.120
The brake should be pretty cool. There's a load cell in it. Yeah. So it's supposed to feel like.

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.680
It feels breaky. Yeah, exactly. And then the clutch is three stage.

00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.200
So it's supposed to kind of mimic the feel of real clutch engagement.

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:41.720
Yeah, it does. Okay. Impressive. Good.

00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.600
If he says it's good, then I'm good.

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.680
Also, the travel is completely adjustable.

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.480
So whether you've put something aftermarket in your car or whether something is worn or whatever else,

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.600
you can kind of adjust everything. Make it actually feel correct.

00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.800
Yeah. Got it. And really, that's what this rig is all about with the authentic seat,

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:07.400
with the paint job, with the adjustability. We want to get this as close to keeping you safe.

00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:11.640
So you don't feel like you need to get in the real one all the time, you know? That's possible.

00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:14.680
Right, right. Good. I appreciate that. We're just looking out for your audience. Thank you so much.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.720
Yeah. We've already spoiled the genuine Kuntash wheel. So obviously we're going to be giving Doug that,

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.400
but do you want to talk through the other two wheels that we're going to be equipping him with?

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:27.080
We've got this F1 style wheel here. It has clutches in the back.

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:31.080
Really, really nice dual shifting clutch stuff. Is that real carbon fiber?

00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:36.680
Yeah, forged carbon fiber here. Also more of like a rally GT car style one.

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.600
This is legit. Look at all these buttons. What could all these things possibly do?

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:46.360
I assumed you would tell me. Well, I've never seen a button that says box on a steering wheel before.

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.120
Whip, whip, whip. Wiper. Okay, thanks.

00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:54.360
I don't know. It just says WIP. I assumed it didn't mean work in progress.

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.640
So these are all programmable. You can map them to whatever you want.

00:07:57.640 --> 00:08:02.520
Some of them will be actual car things, while some of them will be like advanced to next race or whatever else.

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:05.960
No. Okay, that's fun, but you haven't even touched this one yet.

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.520
Real Napa leather. Oh, the box button is back and whip.

00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:16.280
Wow, this is legit too. And forged carbon. It seems so much better than what you get in a normal car.

00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:21.400
I know, right? And certainly better than what you get in the Kuntash. Speaking of, we spoiled this earlier,

00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:25.400
but I think now is a perfectly good time to show you how to swap out your wheels.

00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:28.680
So go ahead and take this. Okay. Put it on there. Easy.

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.720
And then when this is powered, it'll be locked, but I'll just hold it for you.

00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.080
Now go ahead and twist. Yeah, there we go. There we go. Now it's engaged.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.640
Yep. By the way, you probably noticed there's a gaping hole in our planning.

00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:45.000
Just kidding. The plan is perfect. Joel Telling, 3D printing nerd,

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.520
he's sending over a custom centerpiece for it that is going to look...

00:08:48.520 --> 00:08:53.000
It's getting printed on a Milwaukee 3D printer. That does inkjet stuff.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.680
Oh, that's that one. The multi-color one. Yeah, it looks insane.

00:08:56.680 --> 00:08:59.720
And then it really will look like the original Kuntash. Oh, it will.

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.760
Hey, we got power on on the display now. Yeah.

00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:06.680
It's a little far away for a typical windshield, but don't worry, we're going to get that in closer.

00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:11.480
For now, we want to install your bike hicker. Oh, I can't wait.

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.080
Okay, turn around. No, no, I'm kidding. That's an actual thing.

00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:22.520
I'm kidding. That's an actual thing. These are lots of fun. Now, you specifically asked us to not give you a full motion sim,

00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:25.720
but we still wanted it to feel like you're in a car,

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.040
unlike a full motion rig, which is going to take ages to set up and get working.

00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:38.280
The butt kicker just uses your in-game audio and basically is kind of a subwoofer that is attached to your butt.

00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:41.880
Right. And it is literally called the butt kicker. Yeah. That seems right.

00:09:41.880 --> 00:09:45.320
So where do I, where does it go? In your butt. No, no, no, I didn't.

00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.200
Okay, well, here, we'll go over there one second. This is a situation where Doug's preferences

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.520
may have accidentally made his rig a little bit better for his purposes.

00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:58.040
A full motion sim can even slow you down in some situations

00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:01.800
because they aren't always super accurate compared to driving a real car.

00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:05.160
So all this does is kind of fill in the low end

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:09.720
and improve immersion a little bit long after your actual subwoofer has given up.

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.560
We got four butt kickers. Yes, my butt's really going to get kicked.

00:10:13.560 --> 00:10:17.800
$1,400 worth of butt kicking. Did we really need four, Alex?

00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:20.840
We asked them for one and then they were like, what about we send you four?

00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.040
And we were like, sure. That's perfect.

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:27.640
Four's better than one. Yeah, until you wire them all. Oh.

00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:31.240
Question for you, Alex. Yeah. Is he expected to put this all back together

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.000
once we ship it to him? I assume we're shipping it, right? We're going to ship it.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.640
And I'm pretty sure, but don't say 100% sure.

00:10:39.640 --> 00:10:43.240
But I'm pretty sure that advanced sim racing is going to send over some text to your office

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.520
and set it all up for you. I already did it once. Do it again, no problem. Yeah, all right.

00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:49.880
This is all me. Yeah. Never mind, Mark Andre.

00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:53.160
You don't need to do that service. No, no, please.

00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:57.560
Doug can do it. Please. Now, Alex, you said you felt very strongly

00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:02.840
about this particular choice. Do you want to explain why? So many sim racing shifters just feel like there's

00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:08.280
a stick with a couple buttons. This right here from BDH has an actual shifter linkage

00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:13.080
inside of it that runs through here and it's modeled off of a Ford Escort RS Cosworth.

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:17.080
That way, interesting. And has super easy switching between sequential and H

00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:22.040
pattern and also using this knob right here. You can really easily change how much force

00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:26.680
there is to move it. It feels incredible. You can switch between an actual manual pattern

00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:29.800
and a sequential. And it features hall effect sensors

00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:34.200
for an extra long life. What are you hooking up now, Alex? Oh, just power for the wheel base.

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.360
Oh, that actually makes sense. I was like, that's a pretty big power adapter.

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:43.080
Surely that can't be for... Yes, it can. Like I said, if you're not careful,

00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.920
you can actually break your wrist in this. Right, right, right. I'm going to try to avoid that.

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:50.280
Remember, the goal is safety. If you just want to line up one of them for me.

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:53.320
Yeah, it's lined up. Which one? This one here. Okay.

00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.720
Yeah, so play around with that. Whoa. Now we're just feeling real.

00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.560
This position actually seems pretty good. Does this move, right?

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:04.680
This can move up, down. Although, you know, in the real Countach,

00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:08.280
my knees are right up against the steering wheel, so this feels right. Oh, okay.

00:12:08.280 --> 00:12:11.400
We actually need to make it not ergonomically friendly

00:12:11.400 --> 00:12:13.000
in order to mimic the actual car.

00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:17.960
My turn to go upside down. Okay. Yeah, where do you want it? Do the other one.

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.400
Do the one not closer to you. That one's perfect right now. In there?

00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:24.760
Oh yeah, you've got to believe it. I'm going to get you back in the chair since we moved it around so much.

00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:28.840
I'm so sorry. All right, let's see now. Now, getting in and out of this thing

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.680
is a chore for you, eh? Is it as bad as the real one? No, the real one is much worse.

00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:35.240
Cool. We've got to tighten up the shifting, though.

00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:39.400
Oh, there we go. That's feeling, oh, it's so hard. That's right.

00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:43.320
That is correct. Almost unusable.

00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.400
That's what we need. While I tighten this up, why don't you check out your handbrake?

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:51.800
Ooh, handbrake. Yeah, no handbrake button for this guy.

00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:56.440
Wow. So I can do drifts. Oh yeah, this thing, 100 bucks.

00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.880
Very simple. Just bolt it on. Should be fine. And we have a couple of different positions

00:12:59.880 --> 00:13:03.400
that can go in depending on where exactly you want it. Okay, perfect.

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.400
How's that feel? Wonderful. Like I can do some drifts.

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.320
That looks awful. I think this isn't even tight enough

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.640
compared to the real one. But I'm going to leave it there because it seems like that's all we need to do.

00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:20.920
Oh, that's life. Let me tell you something. You drive this car about 20 minutes,

00:13:20.920 --> 00:13:24.520
you're like, well, I'm good for the week. I'm all set. Thanks.

00:13:24.520 --> 00:13:27.960
And that's how I want it to feel when I'm playing my Sim too.

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.040
Speaking of inconvenient, are we really going to install 5.1 surround, Alex?

00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:36.200
Yeah, why not? Because it's really inconvenient. We can just like zip tie it on for the day.

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.480
Ooh, that's the right way to do it. That's the Lamborghini way to do it. Yeah.

00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:44.280
I didn't even know anyone bothered to make high end 5.1 surround setups for PC anymore.

00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:47.640
But here it is, the SteelSeries Arena 9.

00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:53.160
There's your center channel. Yes, the true V12 soundtrack comes through.

00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:56.840
There we go. That's not going anywhere.

00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.280
I'm guessing that's not too far off to the fastening solutions in the Kintosh either.

00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:03.320
That's right. That's right. You've done a beautiful job. Oh.

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.320
No way. Oh, yeah, buddy.

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.760
I promise we're really close to actually drifting around a track.

00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:17.080
But first, we need to see if the butt kickers work. So do you want to go ahead and fire up some audio?

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:17.880
Yeah, let's do it.

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.280
Perfect. Four butt kickers might be a lot.

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.640
No, it's great. That's half volume.

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:35.080
This thing is going to vibrate itself apart. Just like a real car.

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.400
Oh my god, the sound of the brakes. Is that supposed to be like that? Oh, there's light. There's light.

00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:55.160
Well, yeah, there's light in the world. No, I've never seen light before.

00:14:55.160 --> 00:14:59.560
How's it feel, though? How's it feel? Amazing. It's so, it's so realistic.

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:03.400
There's a lot of feedback here, which is so cool. Oh, yeah, there's a turn here.

00:15:03.400 --> 00:15:07.240
I forgot about that one. That's OK. That's OK. You didn't wreck it. You didn't wreck it.

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:12.280
And if you did, hey, it's a digital wreck. Yeah, although the butt kickers would probably

00:15:12.280 --> 00:15:16.920
really kick my butt. The wheel feedback is amazing. It really does feel like the real car.

00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:18.600
There's a lot of, it's like heavy and.

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.520
And it wants to get squirrelly all the time, which is true of the real car, too.

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.320
I have never driven my car like this, so I have no idea if this is how it behave in this situation.

00:15:38.760 --> 00:15:42.600
Oh, can even hear the carburetor noises.

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:47.880
It's quite amazing. Oh, oh, you're just fighting this car.

00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:50.520
It's so accurate. It's all you ever doing.

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.920
My arms hurt. It's a pain in the butt, but it was the right call,

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:59.480
Alex, to have the speakers. Yeah, the speakers are great. Headphones is not going to feel right.

00:16:00.520 --> 00:16:03.560
We should have a look at your best lap, and then I should see what I can do.

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:05.640
This is going to be my best lap, for sure.

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:09.160
No jinx it. I haven't left the track yet.

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.640
Oh, man, those brakes. What an accurate representation of this car.

00:16:19.640 --> 00:16:23.480
The feel of the steering wheel especially. Whenever I get out of my actual one,

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.560
my arms hurt, and they do right now.

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.840
That was the lap. That was. If you guys are enjoying this, by the way, over on Flow Plane, we're going to have Doug's take

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.000
on Ploof's modified Civic. Mighty Car Mods had their way with it,

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.120
and it's interesting now. Okay.

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.240
This is a 2004 Honda Civic.

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.840
That's purple. Tell me about this car.

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.320
Oh, man. Oh, wow, she really does. Yeah.

00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.720
She vibes. This is real life. I'm going to need this seat quite a bit further.

00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.280
Oh, uh-oh. Well, we made it for you.

00:17:01.880 --> 00:17:05.080
Can you not reach it all? Oh, it hits the shifter. Oh, it hits the shifter.

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.360
Well, it'll be like driving my dad's car.

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.080
All right, so the time to beat is two minutes. Yeah, just about. Oh, wow.

00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:17.240
That is really heavy. Good Lord. I don't even think that's as heavy as the real car.

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.080
I couldn't shift the real car like I would shift in this one. Oh, my God.

00:17:21.080 --> 00:17:26.760
You made it look. What? Oh, no, oh, God. Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.

00:17:26.760 --> 00:17:32.360
Oh, I'm going to die. We just bent some valves at the edge of no question about it.

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:36.200
Oh, my God. How did you do four laps?

00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:40.120
This is ridiculous. Oh, boy.

00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:43.480
Oh, God, no. Oh, no, I forgot about the turn. That's. No, no, it's OK.

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:46.920
It's OK. It's OK. All right, the corkscrew is coming up. You've got to be really careful here.

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.280
Uh-huh. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Oh, that's not going to do it.

00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:53.560
That's not going to do it. Oh, God. Oh, God.

00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:56.360
So what we're learning is never let me drive your car.

00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.760
Brakes, brakes. I am hitting the brakes. OK, brother.

00:18:00.760 --> 00:18:06.280
Brakes more. Brakes for God's sake. This LED indicator on the front here for your RPM

00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:09.640
is actually really nice. It really helps, yeah. Oh, you're going way too fast. You're dead.

00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.000
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I got this. I got this. I got this.

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.640
We're going to get back on the track. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.560
I forget which way this turn goes. Left, left. Brakes, brakes for God's sake.

00:18:19.560 --> 00:18:23.000
I mean, I was on the brakes before. Was that not enough? Is it not enough?

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.520
Is there enough braking for you?

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:29.480
All right. All right, you were 16 and a half seconds off the face

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.320
on that lap. You want to do it again? Nope.

00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.280
That's stressful, dude. My forearm. I know.

00:18:36.280 --> 00:18:40.200
It's hard. Is it unique to this car? Because that is exactly how the Kuntas drives.

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.360
It is that hard to use the steering wheel. You might have to drop the force feedback for other cars.

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:48.040
That really was like quite a real look

00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:51.240
at what this car drives like, I assume, would drive like on a racetrack.

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:55.160
It was felt just as buzzy. The shifter was just as hard. The steering is just as hard.

00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:00.200
The braking was just as bad. Should we try a different car? Well, why don't we just try a more modern Lamborghini, then?

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.680
Sure. The Huracan Performante.

00:19:03.320 --> 00:19:06.520
You ready? OK. Room.

00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:10.600
I can see why people like the older cars, though. This is almost like kind of…

00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:13.800
Sanitized. Yeah. It's easy. It's too easy.

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:16.520
How's the wheel feel? The wheel is still pretty harsh,

00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:20.760
more like the Kuntas, I think. OK, so that's something that you might have to find

00:19:20.760 --> 00:19:23.880
to as you go then. Yeah. Oh, we were only at half.

00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.920
Wow. For that Kuntas run. Let's say 30%.

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:32.520
Probably. How's that? Way easier and more accurate to the car, honestly.

00:19:33.560 --> 00:19:37.080
This thing feels like a spaceship. Yeah, in comparison.

00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:40.440
Yeah. Even still, I'm braking too early.

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.240
I'm still trying to adjust from the old car. Now I feel less stupid about how I was braking last time.

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.720
I know. I just didn't know the car. Like, that's how you're braking now,

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.760
effectively. Just give it a little, yeah, OK, slow down, buddy.

00:19:52.760 --> 00:19:56.440
Right. And then you're good to go. This car is enormously more forgiving too.

00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.360
That car was just a lot more sketchy.

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:10.600
OK, let's see what we're going to get. Man, I'm going to do a 144. So I'm 15 seconds faster than the fastest I did in the other car.

00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:15.960
And that's after only a couple of laps. That's on two laps, yeah. Now tell me this, for the price we paid for this rig,

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.640
which is about $18,000. $18,000. Would we be better off just hopping onto cars and bids

00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.880
and just buying a Lamborghini? You probably can't find a Lamborghini for $18,000.

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.320
Not even a really old one? No, but you can certainly find some unusual stuff

00:20:29.320 --> 00:20:33.320
for that money. Why don't you show us how much the car we're driving is worth?

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:37.400
This is probably the closest to, actually, truthfully, this is the closest approximation

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.160
to what we were driving, although it is yellow.

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.120
What the hell? I know. That's why I was cringing when you slammed it

00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:47.960
into the wall 10 times. It's a valuable vehicle.

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:54.200
And it is a little bit more than the $18,000 of this particular driving situation.

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:58.120
But it doesn't let you crash into the wall.

00:20:58.120 --> 00:21:03.480
So in a sense, the simulator is better. Let's change gears and let's find a car that costs the same

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.000
as our sim. I found one. Oh, Alex, no, we don't have a screen cap running on that.

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.200
Put that away. OK. I'm pulling that up, though. That's the, there you go.

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.040
Oh, dang it. This is what you want. $18,000.

00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:18.120
OK, here we go. 2002 Bentley Arnage. Look at this thing.

00:21:18.120 --> 00:21:21.800
This has turbocharged V8 massive car. Mm-hmm.

00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:25.800
And this is the kind of car that you, you own the factory, you drive this car.

00:21:25.800 --> 00:21:29.560
You know what I'm saying? Look at this. Look at this quilted, look at these quilted seats.

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:34.440
Imagine the luxury you could have in your life for 18 Gs.

00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.960
Is that a sheepskin foot, like, mask? It's lamb's wool.

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:42.360
Lamb's wool. You ever have that? I wouldn't want to wear my shoes in there. You don't.

00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:45.720
Get in, you take off your shoes, and it feels amazing on your bare feet.

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.480
Who would take their shoes off to get in their car? You want to rub it on your face?

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.080
What? No, you're kidding me. No, it's not. You're actually kidding me.

00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:56.920
I mean, you wouldn't do that. I would consider doing that. Look, you could have a trade table.

00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.240
You got a trade table in your tycoon? No, exactly.

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.240
So what do you think of the setup? It's amazing. It's awesome. It's so cool.

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:08.280
I actually think that the butt kickers are amazing.

00:22:08.280 --> 00:22:11.880
They really add an element of realism to this. It's, like, special.

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.160
I'm not going to lie. I was kind of questioning it when we came into this,

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:19.560
but it works. It gives the car, like, a rumble that really is, like, accurate.

00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:25.480
Yeah, and you don't feel, you don't need, like, an entire motion rig in order to have that feeling.

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.320
You can just kind of vibrate it along with the frequency of the audio.

00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:34.040
And it's, like, yeah, especially for these cars that vibrate so much when you go over the rumble strips

00:22:34.040 --> 00:22:37.320
and the graph gravel. It, like, really does a good job of capturing that.

00:22:37.320 --> 00:22:42.280
It's pretty impressive. It's pretty cool, actually. Yeah. And you know what else is really cool

00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:45.560
is our sponsor for this video, Origin PC.

00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:50.920
We didn't really talk about it much, but notice that while we could hear the speakers

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:55.400
and feel the butt kickers, we couldn't hear a bloody thing

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:58.520
from this darn near-silent liquid-cooled computer.

00:22:58.520 --> 00:23:02.600
And it'll handle any game we want to run at absolute maximum

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:05.720
settings, even though he's running half of 8K resolution,

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.160
which, by the way, is twice as many pixels as 4K.

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:15.080
Right. Unintuitively, right? Because it's half instead of a quarter.

00:23:15.080 --> 00:23:18.600
It's a lot of pixels, but I think it's worth it for the immersion.

00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:25.880
And it really does feel immersive. It's quite amazing. So now that this is set up, this is about as jump in and go

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.080
as it gets. Right. And that's kind of what I want to do. I want to just, when the wind strikes me,

00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:33.080
I want to just jump in and go. And now I can.

00:23:33.080 --> 00:23:37.000
If you guys enjoyed this video and you're into the intersection of technology and cars,

00:23:37.040 --> 00:23:41.160
maybe you'll like the time we put a turbo on a laptop.

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.960
Yes. Yeah, like an electric turbo. Right. So it just did it do anything?

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.040
It blew out so much air that the keyboard bowed out.

00:23:49.040 --> 00:23:52.360
That's great. That's what you want your laptop to do.
