SuperVeloce - The ultimate bull in GT5

Song played on my Personal BGM: Vortex by Akihiko Matsumoto

From the album: LINK+AGE

Two bulls in two eras face an endless war

At Lamborghini, every weapon needs a master. Here in Gran Turismo 5, this applies the same as well, every weapon needs a master and every master needs a weapon. In the Lamborghini dealership at GT5, witness the brand's ultimate weapon, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce.

Warrior in Grigio Telesto

Lamborghini's ultimate weapon was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and this is undoubtedly the most powerful Lamborghini ever built (as told by Rutledge Wood from the first episode of Top Gear USA) with the limited production of 350 units worldwide at the price of $450,000. As I watched the first episode of Top Gear USA, the Murcielago SV, driven by Rutledge Wood, is much faster than the Gallardo Balboni, driven by Tanner Foust, but lost to the lightweight Gallardo SuperLeggera, driven by Adam Ferrera.

SuperVeloce Nurburgring Drift

At its stock form, the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce has a max power of 660HP, max torque of 486.77ft-lb, and weighs 1565kg. In the hands of the master, this powerful weapon has a max power of 839HP, max torque of 555ft-lb, and weighs 1268kg. At high speeds, this bull is fierce but lacks cornering, making this weapon hard to master. With practice, this bull is a wrecking force to be reckoned with.

An instant classic - its the last of its kind

The SuperVeloce is classified as a Premium Tier car, which means you can dress up some new rims, aero parts, or you can even bring this powerful weapon to Kyoto, Bern, Ahrweiler, San Galgano, San Gimignano, Piazza del Campo, Red Bull Hangar-7, or Lucerne for some photo travels. Bringing out for photo sessions sounds cool to show it to your friends that you have Lamborghini's most powerful bull in GT5.

The mightiest will lead

Most Gran Turismo 5 players are choosy when it comes to choose which car is best suited for around-the-world races and with this SuperVeloce, choosy players may sometimes be delighted to have one in their garages and show them to the world that they have Lamborghini's most powerful weapon. Just remember, every weapon needs a master and every master needs a weapon.

Ryan's English 101.1 Lesson 2

Looks like we got a second English lesson from Ryan Bang as Professor Ryan Valkswagen on Ryan's English 101.1 in the April 14 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings. On that lesson, we learned that the word "breakfast" means "patigilin ang mabilis na sasakyan" and "Mississippi" means..um...he said that spelling that word needs four "s" but in case we don't know, five "s".

Before that, the Art Throb (John Prats) made us an art volcano with the use of paper, scissors, crayons, and matches (parental supervision required, kids!)

Another magic mishaps with Magic Singh again! When a photographer (Badji Mortiz) encountered Magic Singh (Jayson Gainza) and he said there is something better than seeing the landscape. Take this rabbit for example, Magic Singh covered the rabbit with some handkerchief and then he said HARA HARA KING KING. After that, he covered the photographer's face with the handkerchief! Now you see, now you speak, now you don't! )^o^(

Now you see me, now you don't

Bummer! McDonald's Philippines pulled out the BFGF ad!

Everyone in the Philippines know that the McDonalds BFGF ad aired in the Philippines is cute to watch. It was about two kids, a little girl ask a little boy is she wants to be his girlfriend but the little boy said he wasn't ready because girlfriends are demanding and the little girl wants some fries from McDonald's. The commercial derived from India is so cute to watch but there was some bad news...

McDonald's Philippines has decided to pull out the "BFGF" ad because of the complaints from the CBCP.

Aw geez... it was a good commercial while it lasted... (-_-;)

GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro

2011 GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro

*The 5th-generation Chevrolet Camaro is sold as the GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro in South Korea

After the 5th generation Camaro making a grand comeback in North America in the Spring of 2009, then later arrived in some countries including the Philippines, everyone's favorite Autobot, Bumblebee, is landed for shooting and this time, it's not for some Transformers movie (Dark of the Moon coming soon!), but Bumblebee's ready for his new challenge as a Korean celebrity and how will the GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro (쉐보레 카마로) stack up on Korean dramas and movies.

The Camaro is GM Korea's third out of the planned eight Chevrolet models according to GM Korea CEO, Mike Arcamone, after the successful transition from GM Daewoo Auto and Technology into GM Korea Company. The first two were the "Active Life Vehicle" Orlando MPV and the "Fun Riding" Aveo (coming soon in North America as the Sonic) 5-door.

2011 GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro

Although the Korean-spec Camaro was completely a CBU (Completely Built Unit) from North America, nothing's different from the Korean Camaro to the American Camaro except from the rear. The Korean Camaro has different tail lamps, making it slightly different to the American Camaro.

2011 GM Korea Chevrolet Camaro interior

Despite the different rear view of the Korean Camaro, the interior of the Korean Camaro remains the same, well for the speedometer set on the KM/H basis, which is a commoner to the Korean cars because the unit KM/H was used.

While the American Camaro has a host of automatic transmission, manual transmission, V6 and V8 engines, the Korean Camaro is different because the only offer from GM Korea's Chevrolet Camaro is the 3.6L V6 24-Valve DOHC engine that produces 312PS/6400rpm of power output and 9.1km/L of fuel economy. The 6-speed AT is the only transmission available for the Korean Camaro, which can be an unpleasant drawback for Korean fans.

The GM Korea Camaro comes with four introductory colors, which are Yellow, Red, Black, and Silver. That's less than the American-spec Camaro.

My Comment:
Despite offered less than the American Camaro, the Korean-spec Chevy Camaro from GM Korea Company is much more of a worthy competitor against the Korean FR Sports Coupe, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Well, don't ask me if which of these two will prevail because an article from Top Gear Philippines will explain. A minor drawback for the GM Korea Camaro is the pricing because the 47,000,000 Korean Won pricing sounds pricey than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 380 GT-P's 33,480,000 Korean Won pricing. Despite pricing, the Korean Camaro has more power than the Genesis Coupe 380 GT-P because the Camaro gets 312PS while the Genesis Coupe only has 303PS. This leave those two a choice between the Mafias and the Triads.

Already reached its stardom as Transformers' Bumblebee, Ryan Agoncillo experienced it thanks for his role for Chevrolet to the Philippines, and now what will Bumblebee do on his new challenge in the land of Korean dramas and K-POP? Time will tell...

Two Alphas are better than one!

Alpha Bert and Alpha Boy Regino

Kuya Jobert as Alpha Bert and Igi Boy as Alpha Boy Regino sprung into action as they saw a beautiful woman got injured and can't get up. Alpha Bert and Alpha Boy Regino tries to help the injured woman but this is complicated. All they need now is a SUKLAY some man is using. The word is "SUKLAY" and replace the letter U with an A. Ta-da! SAKLAY! A woman got a saklay to help thanks to the Alpha duo of Jobert and Igi Boy! That's Alpha Bert and Alpha Boy Regino to you!
