How was he able to drive his car out of bc with no insurance decals on his plates without getting caught?

I don't see how this argument has any bearing on the news or video.

I'd classify a RWD 2-seat roadster as a sports car

I respected that he stopped for all the red lights, especially since some them came quick and he braked hard.

Doesn't seem like he's driving excessively fast and he doesn't blow thru red lights.

That record can easily be broken. I had my C4S with BC plates in NYC also, and the Porsche swallowing potholes are what slow you down!

Sporty car. The chassis on the Z4 is like jello.

It is... It's all relative though.
There's always going to be some guy in here with the mentality that anything less than an expensive exotic/supercar is not considered a "sports car"

:derp:

I was thinking the same thing...

Semantics. It's not a purpose built sports car with a racing heritage like the 911, Corvette or the Viper. A Z4 is a sporty car, like a Corolla GTS or a Cadillac CTS-V.

Exactly. Soo..insto-facto, it's a sports car.

I've seen worse/ more irresponsible driving at 50kph, don't see the issue here.

i watched the whole video and kinda enjoyed it hah. Catchy song with a quick tour of NYC.. I know its illegal and blah blah blah but who wouldnt love to do this?

If that's a sports car, what do you define as a sporty car? Chevy Malibu with chrome wheels?

Z4M peeps

GT3 :fulloffuck:

Z4 not a sports car :fulloffuck:

Z4 is a sports car in my opinion and a nod to the old british and italian sports cars from the 50's to the 80's.

A VW Golf GTI is a sporty car.

NEW YORK — New York City police have arrested the driver who they say posted an Internet video of himself speeding around Manhattan in just over 24 minutes.

Police have charged 30-year-old Canadian Christopher Adam Tang with reckless driving, reckless endangerment and other charges. Police also seized his 2006 BMW Z4.

The video was posted on Aug. 28. A camera mounted on the dashboard shows the car travelling along the 42.5-kilometre loop, while stopping for six red lights.

Electronic dance music provides the soundtrack as a stopwatch superimposed on the screen keeps time: 24 minutes and 7 seconds.

The New York Post newspaper identified Tang as a University of British Columbia graduate who majored in economics. In a Sept. 6 news story, the newspaper said Tang worked as a legal assistant and moved to New York City two years ago. Tang’s wife works at the Whitney Museum.

They said Tang’s blue 2006 BMW Z4 roadster with Canadian plates was seized on Sept. 5, two days after NY Police Commissioner Ray Kelly had promised to nab the anonymous driver.

UBC graduate arrested after posting dashboard camera video of ?record loop? around Manhattan

does vancouver have any illegal competitions like this? the fastest sea2sky record? or the fastest to get from west van to surrey? Or white rock to richmond? Apparently that route is notorious for fobs in their parents cars ripping it up.

or up and down the entire aberdeen parking lot :accepted:

lol i bet if larry chu was around u can beat that record with in his s2k easily :troll:

stupid fkn track overlayed in the video

That was an era where sports cars were mainly all open top convertibles. Times have changed. A Z3, though it meets your definition of a "sports car", drives like a 3 Series that's been in a bad accident.

we should have a fastest sea2sky record!

quickly, wait till 10pm, jump in your car, then start recording! afterwards post it up on youtube/here for us to view your time!! :p
