Okay I'll start U off.

I'm a car lover, and theres nothing better than the nem Aston Martin DB9.

Sleek, sensual and powerful with a 450bhp V12 engine.

I remember when the Capri was the car to have... Love watching it still in the re-runs of the Professionals.

As for me I prefer a more practicle family car, 4 wheel drive or people carrier.

Toyota Prius, hybrids are it man. The future is near, safe alternative energy is the way!

They need to pimp that ride.

Cars that have diesel engines can use veggie oil, and it can be done right away. Hybrids are just made to sound good, and car companies make a good bit of coin because of it.
Go get an old BMW and mix up some methanol.

supercars. lamborghini is the best.....
On a episode of Top Gear (Brit car show) they raced a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, and the Mit kept up with the Lamborghini the whole way!

As much as I love the big supercars, chances are slim I'll ever own one. (like most people)
I'm a fan of small sports cars, the Triumph GT6 in particular.

Mercedes SLR - Made of Carbon Fiber, max speed 210mph, only few made for a small price tag of: $350,000.00. Wild looking car though.


I have a wallpaper on my desktop with one of those and a Mercedes "Gullwing" 300SL siting right next to it.

I recently read that Dodge will be coming out with a new Challenger a couple of years from now. Maybe that will stop people from complaining about the Charger. disgust.gif

aaahhhh, screw all that crap... yea, lambo's and other supercars are great/badass, but come on guys. MAYBE 1% of everyone in this forum will own one. here's a more realistic car i'd LOVE to own:

2006 Mallett V8 Solstice
LS2 Engine - 400 HP @ 6,000 RPM and 400 LB-FT @ 4,400 RPM

...just plain evil! 400hp/400tq in a car the size of a MIATA! the performance would be incredible.
dark fusion


that is a good car, i like the design
dark fusion

question for everyone

what was the fastest production car before the bugatti veyron?


it is an easy question put people ive asked dont know it...do you? rofl.gif
TheSpecter
Mclaren had the highest top speed, i think...

user posted image



but something you probably didn't know, the EXTREMELY rare Nissan Skyline Z-tune became the quickest production car ever made...

user posted image

...although there will only be 20 produced. it officially became the quickest production car when it ran a 10.06 in the 1/4 mile. "That's more than 6/10 of a second faster than any production car ever tested. And this is no drag car." -sport compact car mag

...RIDICULOUS FAST.

Fast Sports Cars are nice, but where I live I prefer something Bigger. Don't have much use for a small car around my area.

XXX WRONG rofl.gif

any other guesses to the fastest production car before the bugatti veyron?
dark fusion
how fast does that skyline go cus i cant find
TheSpecter
i don't know what the skyline's top speed is... probably ~180-190mph.

there are a couple of cars that could have been considered the fastest production cars ever, but were just never 'officially' tested. here's a couple off the top of my head...

Dauer 962 LM (est. top speed of 250mph)
user posted image
3.0L Twin Turbo Flat-6
730 bhp @ 7400 rpm
517 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm

or Koenigsegg CCR (242+mph)
user posted image
4.7L Supercharged DOHC V8
806 bhp @ 6900 rpm
678 lb-ft @ 5700 rpm

there are a lot of cars that could possibly take this title...

right, eventually, the answer is the Koenigsegg CCR

however, apart from the speed, this car is terrible

What is the top speed with the Veyron? I didn't know that the had broken the record yet.

I knew that as soon as the Soltice came out that someone would try that. If the suspension handles well, then it's great. If not, then it is just another drag car.

I generally like the smaller sports car, so I really Like the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky.

To be honest I don't know a lot about bikes, but I just love to admire them from a far, as I have a fear of getting on one unsure.gif

here's a couple of vids of some of my friends cars... the vid isn't all that great:

turbo '92 civic hatch vs. mod'd evo

http://media.putfile.com/HatchVSevo1

the civic has ran a best of 13.1 @ 115 mph and the evo ran a 12.8 @ 108mph. now the evo has a better tune and cams...

my buddies APR Stage III Audi A4 1.8t.. at the strip, 13.1 @ 108:

http://www.goapr.com/images/a4dragstrip111105/A4vsSTi.MPG

...he was pissed he couldn't bust out a 12 second run. he was actually spinning (awd) through 1st gear. it was a bit too cold maybe.

Here is one car I just know that you all would love to own..
