The Z03 is seriosuly the sexy new hotness

Great to see that Guy Kawasaki is an FLD fan! He is the man for any of yall that didnt know.

Do people even know what the tumbler looks like? You should feature pictures of all 3 cars in the next episode, so people know what cars they're voting for.

The Tumbler is the new COOL batmobile from Batman Begins

Yea, Max...people need to know a little more about the Tumbler so they can recognize what a serious machine the Studio guys actually built.

If people are more interested in Bumblebee or KITT for their looks...fine (yes, the Tumbler is a bit 'out there')
But in terms of production...Bumblebee and KITT are just a Camaro Concept and a GT500KR with very little window-dressing (and in Bumblebee's action sequences...alot of CGI).

What people should know is that once the production team came up with the Lambo-Hummer model, they then went out and built a real drivable prototype. And they didn’t stop there, because they wanted/needed it to perform and survive its own jumping stunts without breaking during filming. So after they built the drivable prototype...they then proceeded to drive it hard, jump it around, and abuse it until it broke. When is broke, they analyzed what broke...then rebuilt a beefier prototype...then proceeded to break it again. They repeated the process until they truly had a durable performance sports-tank which was able to perform all its own stunts...with no CGI required. They even say that the filming helicopter had problems keeping up with it during filming. And, I feel lucky enough to have gotten to see this thing in the metal..close up...and man I gotta tell you its no flimsy movie vehicle with a polycarbonate/plastic shell. This thing is the real deal, with a 350 Chevy small-block with 400 ft-lbs of torque...weighs 2.5 tons, and can survive 60 ft jumps and continue driving without any breakage.
If anyone wants to read a small article about the true building of the Tumble and which corroborates all Ive said...heres a link. Just scroll down 1/2 page to the section header "Batmobile". It’s a great artcle.

Im assuming a similar amount of thought, engineering, and durability has gone into the new Batpod for the new Dark Knight movie:

That’s all. I had to provide all this info in light of the current poll.
The Tumbler is cool and the people who built it deserve some props.

Great show as always, that Z03 is TITS!!! I can't wait until it comes to the US, is it going to be cheaper than a Z06? For some reason i just have a feeling its gonna be more haha..

Awesome FLD episode, what was Derek D speaking in the beginning?? haha...DD is the man
