i knew you'd say that

You also need to take an INT3RW3B class to learn how to quote the above 10 messages that are slamming you. This will make it easier for future slamming. Thanks.

I guess they wan't to see every pixel and get their moneys worth.???

hey n00b (calendar fag), you should be informed that shitbox racing is a trademarked name used by Will, Charlie, Dave, Rob, and myself.... just in case you liked the ring of it

If you use it without permission, some junkyard dog lawyer will be all over your ass . . .

1600x1200 is pretty sharp at a full 8.5x11 print TJ.

You should know better than to question TJ, Jordan. He is a professional.

tape. it is sometime usually mandated for glass on the track because we go over 110+ mph and kick up rocks and rubber "marbles" from tires and don't want the glass debris of the headlights on the track surface if they break

Can Eta's run +110mph ??? even it's not on an airfield landing strip ??
I'm just curious If that white Eta can still reach 115mph

Jordan, "sharp" is a purely relative term. Canon 1DSMkII owners (I have one of those, too, just so we can establish that I'm not biased) think their lenses are sharp...but they ain't shit compared to our Carl Zeiss Contax lenses.

It all depends on what you've seen before.

Trent did I do it right?

FYI, this is a good example of "Carl Zeiss Sharp":

Given a 1600x1200 JPEG that most point and shoots are capable of, what do you think is the limit for a high quality print? Were you laughing with me, or at me?

I was laughing with you.

Your question depends on DPI and bit depth.

Good point. I can say that MY CAMERA makes very sharp 8.5x11 prints @ 1600x1200.

[Antrieb]

dunno about 115 but i've done 105. any car can make it up there it just takes time. you could get your moms van to do 115 if you had a long enough strip and the right gearing

What you mean is that in YOUR OPINION, your camera makes very sharp 8.5x11 prints @ 1600x1200.

If you saw an 8.5x11 from one of my cameras, you would re-evaluate your definition of "sharp".

Thus making "sharp" a relative term.

I had your mom up to 115, she was sweating pretty hard.

Oh yea, I went there.
