Cars, Man

Especially for when you want to spread out on the park bench.

BTW, that's a weird spot to put it in.

And you thought it was only a two-seater!

 

[Monocrom]

My mistake.

I'm warming up to the Mother-In-Law seat option.:twothumbs

 

[StarHalo]

Yo dawg..

 

[Monocrom]

Yo dawg..

So wrong on so many levels.

There are only 600 of these world wide, something like 175'ish in the states.
With a 4 Liter flat-6 revving near 9000rpm

Now take my Jeep, it has a 4 Liter Straight 6,,, but I don't think it's ever revved over 4K ~ lol lol
..and weights 1.5X

btw, the ceramic brake rotors on the RS 4.0 are $5000 each corner, to replace

 

[Monocrom]

Ceramic brakes won't fade. But if you're actually using the car on a race track the way it should be used, you can still cook them.

Probably. Four years is a relative eternity when it comes to auto performance. But, at the risk of starting another debate, both of those cars will probably turn out to perform believably better than the CTS-V, but they each will cost twice as much as it. And neither will be available as a coupe or wagon or with a manual transmission, for the (dozen or so? Ha!) people who would want any of those options.

It seems crazy to me that anyone, given the option of a Tremec 6 speed manual transmission in a high performance, great handling car would choose an automatic transmission instead! Insane.... Another major benefit of the CTS-V is that its engine is yet another version of the absolutely fantastic GM LS series small block v-8, which will undoubtedly go down in history as being another of the best engines of all time, like the Gen I Chevy small block has been(Rated #5 on Ward's top 10 best engines of 20th century). There is no doubt that the GM LS series small block V-8's are soooo much tougher and more durable than any other competitive Euro engine, and they are soooo much cheaper to repair too.....

Successor to the Mclaren F1, the P1. Rumored 800+ hp with a possible KERS system adding another 150+ hp. Will debut at the Paris Auto Show on the 27th with full details.

Who left the back end under the heat lamp?!?!

 

[redaudi]

I'm surprised it's using a traditional wheel and not a single lug racing type wheel.

the Porsche carrera GT, ferrari enzo, koeniggsigsigigigigissegiigissgigigigigegggigsegs.....igsegs, and many other supercars are using it these days... I wonder why McLaren decided against?

Granted...those wheels are...um.........awe inspiring? That concave face gives me cargasms. I now know what I'm going to try to find for my car.

Porsche needs to bring back the GT,, maybe twin turbo completely remapped 4L


anyway, staying German;
these are nearly race versions w/o numbers,,,,what's your flavor?*



*from R.A. this summer

 

[don.gwapo]

what's your flavor?

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series with the Track & Aerodynamic package.

Like the color too. .

 

[StarHalo]

Well here's a backend you might like better, the leaked brochure image of the Porsche 918 (and if you order it with the "Weissach package", the pictured race livery is actually included. From the factory. Yes, really.)

 

[Monocrom]

Now that's one good-looking backside. :huh:

Patrick Long, the only U.S. Factory Porsche driver, deserves to run this for the 2014 ALMS/GrandAm merger ..
