It’s basically an Italian Corvette ZR-1 fit with an amazing 636 HP V8 engine. What really stands out on this car are the aerodynamical features. Everything is made of carbon fibre to make the car 200 pounds lighter than the Corvette ZR-1. All of the body panels, trimming, seats, and wheels are made out of carbon fibre. 

The Bertone Mantide has some resemblance to the Corvette with the low hood and the high rear bumper. It uses the Chevrolet Y-Body as the hood features an embossed Y-shape. The improvements made on this car increase the down force by 30% when comparing it to the Corvette ZR-1. The total drag reduced is up to 25%.

This car might not be a Bugatti buster but it can definitely pack in a punch with its impressive acceleration. It accelerates 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds! The top speed is 218 mph, which is close to what the Corvette can do. But is it really worth it to buy this car when they finally are produced?

The answer is no, because Bertone plans to make only 10 Mantides within a year with a price tag of $2 million each. So in the end, the Corvette ZR-1 is the winner, since it has a more powerful engine, but goes a little bit slower and has a starting price of $110,300. Also, who would ever buy a Mantide? XD

I bought a Bertone Mantide in Forza Motorsport 3 and I made it go over 250 mph with a cool design. Check it out:

Now here are the stats of the car if interested:

So what two racing games can you expect to come to E3? Well it’s Forza Motorsport 4 and Need for Speed The Run. At this moment they are a must get for when they come out. Though they are completely different games, they will be really interesting. Forza 4 will feature loads of more tracks and cars with more realistic handling than in their previous title. The Run on the other hand, will be an action racing game with a race across the country visiting cities like San Francisco, Denver, and New York. It will be a very exciting title. Both of these games will come out in November. 

Now what about Apple’s WWDC? Will it have the next iPad and iPhone? It might, but it has already been stated that the next iPhone will come out in September. This iPhone will feature  a larger screen, curved screen, faster ship (A5 chip), and the iOS5. This will really make the iPhone an ideal phone. There also has been rumors that the home button is going to disappear, but I don’t think that that will happen.

What are you looking forward at E3?

Well, the most anticipated game from Valve came last week and many people have bought it, including me. All I have to say is that you have to play it, because the power of awesomeness from it cannot be obtained from just watching videos. The graphics have gotten a huge upgrade and the single player career is about 8 hours long. A huge improvement since the last Portal title. If you get this game, then you will have a fun and challenging time getting through the whole thing. One last thing on this topic… I am in space!

This weekend, Need for Speed announced their next title, The Run. It seems that it will be a very action packed arcade racing game. Blackbox did not achieve a high standard with their previous title, Undercover, but they got 3 years to develop this game. So, in that amount of time a very polished game can be made. 

Also from the looks of the trailer, it looks very amazing. The game is using a new graphics engine called Frostbite 2.0, which is also used in Battlefield 3. The characters looked realistic and the cars looked very detailed. Apparently, many people think that this is similar to Cannonball Run. I have no idea what it means, but sounds pretty cool. This game is full of action, explosions, bullets, cops, racing, and pure awesome. Get it on November 15.

Minecraft Server Update: Plane mod has been officially implemented.

Blog Status: Live

Upcoming: Video Games Page, New Header?

Now it’s time for the bonus!

-RobVaivodiss

I have tried all kinds of blogging websites and nothing comes close to WordPress. So thanks WordPress for providing such a great service.

Now I have some big news. I am making a game called Drag Racer on Scratch. So far I have made one race and 3 cars and I squeezed them into an interesting Demo. You can check this game out HERE. Now for the features of this game. There are a total of 9 cars so far: Honda Civic, Nissan Silvia, Volkswagen Scirocco, Mitsubishi Evo X, Maserati Grantursimo, Mazda RX-7, Lamborghini Murciélago, Pagani Zonda Cinque, and Bugatti Veyron SS. There is a total of 28 races in the career mode, and you can also play a mode called Free Play where you can bet your money.

If you are saying, why only 9 cars?, then you have to check this out. When I complete the game I will start working on an expansion pack! It will include 3 cars: Acura Integra, Chevy Camaro SS, and Gumpert Apollo S. It will also include 6 races.

Now for an RV Productions!!! update! There is going to be a new header and I will be discontinuing the Funny Signs page, but I will make a Fails and Wins page. I also changed the background to a dark grey, so that my blog is easy on the eyes.

I have been lately making an amazing and epic park that I am creating in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. The park covers most of the map, and here is a first to RCT3xpert! The park is an indoor amusement park! Something else that is amazing is that the whole park is symmetrical. Here are some of the features:

1. Concessions Building
2. Blue and Red Buildings
3. 4 Coasters (Coming Soon)
4. Many rides on two stories
5. A park wide Monorail

As you can see this park is going to be amazing. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture to put up yet, but you can expect one.

Now for part two of this post. There is a really cool program called Scratch (DOWNLOAD LINK) and it is used to program games, videos, tutorials, and more. It is very easy to use and even a caveman could use it. Lately I have been making a game called Cat Jumper, that I wanted to submit for a class project, but the teacher assigned as partners. UGH. Well if you want to check out my game then CLICK HERE.

Let me bring you up to speed.

I gave up this blog when 8th grade started, but then I had a spark of ideas; I changed my nickname from CPMAN to RCT3xpert. That was not over for the idea spark. Earlier this week, I renamed the blog from CPMAN Productions to RV Productions. Now there is no SimCity page and there will be absolutely no Club Penguin players allowed. If you are one then you will be tracked by IP address and I will shut down your computer forever. Joking…that won’t happen. Just don’t expect anything Club Penguinish. And I changed the motto to What did you expect?… I also changed the header as well. Do you like it?

Okay now I will let you explore this blog. Check out all of the different pages, because they are cool. Also, here is a fact: The last post on this blog, not counting this one, was from October 6, 2009! Impressive isn’t it?

Later expect to see a new toolbar, yes a new toolbar, under the name of RV Productions; I will post it either on the sticky or the sidebar.

So now I will let you go with that. Just don’t expect anything special; but be sure to visit the pages.

Just so you know, as a little fact, I take keyboarding this nine weeks, so now I can write more in a short period of time. I guess I should have written my rough draft for class instead though.

Until next time….

Today we did a skit on the decline of the Georgia Charter. It was pretty cool. I was King George II. Justin was in another group, but he was King George II too. Anyway that is the most fun thing that happened today at school.

Have you ever heard of this game called Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2? It is like Guitar Hero, but on the computer. I have to tell you that it is awesome. I have 2 perfects, and 6 golds on the amateur songs, and 2 bronzes on the pro songs. I have the SG guitar unlocked too.

As you know, I play Racing live on the iPhone. Currently as of right now I am on level 89. My income is kinda low, and I need more income, so if you could just buy me some prestige points then it would fine…….. JUST KIDDING!!!

Guess what? All of the Target students are going on a field trip to Rinehardt College to see the interactive Georgia history time line. Yes! Practically no school on Friday except the last 30 minutes of the school day. But oh well.

Oh ya if anyone knows any active cheats on Street Racing on Facebook, then just post em’ here or just email me them at: cpmanproductions@gmail.com. Thanks if you send some in.

Something terrible has happened. There is flooding here in the ATL. There was a lot of downpour and the creeks flooded over the highway, so it me and my dad like an hour to get home from school. Here are some snapshots I took on the way home:

Butler Creek flooding the 41. Note: the depth is like 35 feet!

OMG!!! The Kennworth Park baseball fields are flooded over by like 3-4 feet.

The sidewalk was ripped out from the ground on Jim Owens Road.

Sorry for not posting a while, I was kinda busy with my Facebook and school stuff and everything of that sort. Well anyway nothing happened at school that was really major. But here is the info on the latest park I am building.

The park is called Coaster Town Ohio. It is a huge park consisting of a Ride Town on Broadway at the Town, and of course Coaster Town with currently 6 coasters. All of this is connected with paths and underground/underwater walkways. The park also has some underground rides and food courts. Currently the Ride Town is the most beautiful part of the park. Here are some pictures:

Well anyway NFS: Shift is coming out in less then 4 days!

Psalm 23:4

Now here is an update from Paradise Falls Island. The park is almost complete. All I have to do is put in the path lights, and maybe another coaster. Here is the latest picture:

Well anyway, ¡Hasta Luego!

Now I want to talk RCT3. I am building a volcano island (the volcano actually erupts!).

Next I am going to talk to my workers. Hey! I have renovated the staff website. To visit, CLICK HERE.

That is all for today!

Now what do you think? I think that this is the best waterpark I’ve ever built.

-cpman

Of course there is water on road when there is rain.

Now look at these two idiots at a toll booth.

They are fighting for their life to pay some change for good causes (not).

If your brain works normally this is neat.

This is another example of an amazing illusion. The last sentence is so true.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color,  Pink.

However if you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture;  after a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

It’s amazing how our brain works.

There really is no green dot,  and the pink ones really don’t disappear.

This should be proof enough that we don’t always see what we think we see!

So here is to boredom.
