lol that kinda looks like the Toyota Triampholon car....or the Nike 2010...
well here is my donation of pictures of automotive vehicles

linked-image

here is the italian Ducati 999(S and R tune also avalible) this to me is one of the sexiest bikes made today. The Bike is from Itialy mostly known for its apearence in many games and will be featured in the movie Red Line. Enough about its ego lets talk EGO it has a L twin cylinder engine that only gives out 140 bhp and goes up to 170 mph and does a quarter mile in 10.40 seconds. Not bad for only 140bhp but we have to remember its only on the standard type not the S tune or the R tune. another nice addition to the bike besides its sexy sleek style is that the mufflers are under the seat so now you dont have to worry about you legs being burn off as you ride at high speeds...well to the next vehicle

linked-image

and here is the 2006 Dodge SRT 10 ASC Diamond Back Viper
with its V10 engine that pumps 612 BHP that does 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds with a 6 speed manual

here is an unusual one.

linked-image

The Peugeot Hogger. What some say is the closest thing in real life to Halo's Warthog. Some say the Peugeot got the dune buggy from the game but this car was built long before halo ever came out so its the other way around.
The engine is kinda small a fuel injected two diesel(yay i can run it off french fri greese...if that works) hdi straight four cylinder
power is 180 BHP 83 to each cylinder
its AWD(All Wheel Drive for those who dont know)
engine can be front/rear mounted as it is trascersal and its turbo powered...(at least you get the really cool noise)

lets go back to the american cars shall we....hmmm lets do this one

linked-image

yes the Shelby Cobra Concept. Based off the 66-67 and the 69 Shelby(or AC in the UK) Cobras
yes another retro muscle braught back to life and did a rather good job of it too.
This beast has a front mounted fuel injected all aluminum(whatch it shine) V10 Engine that gives out a nice 605 BHP. You'd think with that much HP it would only do a little over 200 but Ford says it can do 260 miles per hour. Whats funny though is that they said it is blocked off to only do 100 miles per hour...electronically. Anywho the chassis was based off another retro muscle the Ford GT based off the 1966 Ford GT Mk I. So now when you crash your Shelby Cobra. You can always use the parts for your GT chassis YAY...

next is the. Ah what the heck why not

linked-image

The Ford GT based off one of the most historic cars in the car world. The 1966 Ford GT40 MK I that one lemans four times in a row. This car is one of the closest retro muscles to looking like the original why it still has the side scoops, the mid mounted engine whith the flip engine cover, the dual exaust, the hood scoops, and that look that says "i own the road". there is one major difference though. The cars highth its not 40 inches like the GT"40"'s was so now you can fit in it =D
. This baby has a midium V8 engine that getty ups using 550 BHP and it can go from not to 60 in 3.3 seconds and not to 100 mph in 7.6 seconds. Not bad for a V8
it even did one of the most hardest tracks in the world in which its older version road on. Yes Nurburgring Nordscheife in Germany in 7 minuts and 42 seconds...

Well thats all the cars for probably this week. I might put more up or talk about your alls cars later. Well hope you enjoyed peace

That diamond back viper is freakin awesome.

These are two of my baby's, one of them is still under construction, so to speak. original.gif Both have newly rebuilt engines and transmissions. The Monte is completely original. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas of paint colors and schemes for the Firebird. It's not going to be original anyway, so why not have fun with it, it's got a 454 in it and the interior is completely shot, so any ideas would be welcome.

Heres one of the Aussie version of the Muscle car...The Ford Falcon GTHO ''Shaker''.
At the time and for many years it remained the fastest 4 door ever built. This baby is a GENUINE LEGEND of motor sport racing in Australia.
What it dosn't state in the specs is that they only ever built a few thousand of the GT & GT-HO range...hence the price tag for them now.

Very nice car REBEL! The yellow really makes it stand out.

Ferrari 420 Dino
Click to view attachment


The new Dino started life as a Maserati in 2004. However, Ferrari’s then sister firm changed its plans, deciding to develop a luxurious Quattroporte-based coupé to rival the Mer­cedes CL instead. So Ferrari adopted the chassis and technology for the Dino.

Unlike the classic original, the newcomer will get a front-mounted V8. The unit is expected to be an all-aluminum 90-degree 4.2-litre unit with around 480bhp.

Inside, the Dino will be the first Ferrari to get standard-fit satellite navigation. The cabin promises to be practical, and alongside the carbon fibre trim shown, an aluminium finish will also be available. Transmission options haven’t been confirmed, but the paddleshifters are likely to control an automated manual.

Aimed squarely at Porsche’s 911 Turbo and Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage, the Dino will be priced between £82,000 and £90,000. This will make the Ferrari badge more accessible, but will also leave room for the F430 to move upmarket. We can also reveal plans to give that model a 550bhp 5.0-litre V10 by the end of 2008. An all-new replacement for the F430 is also already on the drawing board, and is scheduled for 2010.

I figure its time to show off the Great Holden Monaro.

My personal favorite is the HZ Monaro as pictured here http://www.holden.com.au/images/monaro/mon...story/hz/07.jpg

But there are many others that are quite beautiful.

The HX GTS MOnaro pictured in this link is incredible. They were also quite powerful though I am to lazy to look for the stats now.

AH YES. A Nice car indeed.
the Aston Martin DBS was used in Casino Royal the new 007 movie. the DBS looks like the DB9 but the DBS has small differnt things. like the front head lights they have same shape but the configuration is different.
this car, the DB5, And the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S are the three for me in the Aston Martin company which is owned by Ford.

hmmm i never seen this page on the Aston Martin web page before nice. ill look into it

Just stumbled on the VW Westfalia Verdier, for the modern hippie. No eta on when it would be produced, but I think I'd camp more with this bad boy: Verdier

^^^^ hahhah, that's insane Episteme! My folks had a pea-green 1970-something Westfalia, the slant poptop when I was growing up. But you know, they were hippies and stuff. LOL

I have to take some pictures of my new car I bought last month... it's a laser red, 2002 convertible Mustang GT. It's only got 20,000 miles on it and in showroom condition. I've already got the appointment to make the basic mods, exhaust, springs, and my wrench guys are trying to talk me into shiney new 8lb Vortech blower they just happen to have laying around the shop... (I'm trying hard to resist, real hard... if you could all pray for me to get some willpower, that would be great! LOL)
