Stumbled across this about a year ago. Not sure if you've seen it or not, nice piece of engineering. Simplistic, yet very, very sexy.
-
Well, as an opinion, I think your freaking crazy.
It looks like something out of starwars, way, way ahead of its time.
-
It looks like ****. I wouldn't spit in their hand for it.
I think the rear end is one of the nicest I've ever seen on a car. Very smooth. This car is the pinacle of automotive technology. 250-0 in 10 seconds, 0-250 in under a minute, and while cruising, using only enough HP to keep it cruising (50). One of the most luxorious interiors ever made, in the fastest production car with a speed limiter at 252 MPH. They don't know the actually max speed of the car. It's a sexy beast.

The aerodynamic factors were fixed, the thing has amazing down force. For whoever said it had a 400 BHP advantage on the McLaren. In the show, Jeremy Clarkson was using 50 BHP while cruising at 100+mph, leaving the other 950 for when he stepped on the gas. He also stated that the car can go from 240 MPH to 0 in 10 seconds.

That car is incredible. I'll be talking about it for weeks on end
The front doesn't look that hot, but the back and sides are goregeous. -
Same on this one. The 6's in the stangs suck, and the corvette beofre the v8 sucked. The rb26 is a terrific engine, but if you wanna get picky, it is turbo and it has a high cg, and it certaintly is not light. The ford 302 is probably lighter, has a more better cg, keeps the weight back, and is N/A so plenty of response. Same goes for the 351 cept, it probably isn't lighter. I feel that the ultimate goal in a swap is to make the car better. Going from 8->6 cylinders isn't necessarily bad, but it certaintly isn't better. The handling is not better b/c the 6 is farther forward, has a higher cg, and is probably heavier then the 302. The response is dimished b/c the 6 is turbo and the 8 was N/A. The powerband is personal preference, but I always like relatively low in a heavy car like the stang. The only thing that is better imho would be the power (if comparing to a 5.0) or the potential to make power (if comparing to a 351, and even so, a 351 will put out alot of power, the rb probably bests it though). So while I think alot of people are looking at this with a "double standard" kind of viewpoint, I think my reasons are pretty much justified, opinions?
The 260, 289, 302, and 351 are the same block. They're damn near bullet proof too. My brother threw a rod at 5000 RPM, and it didn't pierce the block. Take a 289, add 20 years of technology and out came the 5.0.
Personaly, I don't think anyone can complain since I see people swaping Chevy and Ford engines into Nissan's and Toyota's, which i'm sure the Japanese aren't too fond of. Hypacritical.

I thought that was the norm in france?
It's not.
Edit: That's extrememly disturbing by the way

Last year, 15 at the time. After an oil change I am in the process of putting a hi-po intake on my dads 67 mustang. First goes the carb and all that, then the distributor, leaving a big hole in the engine..... Then goes the intake and whoops, theres two gallons of water right into the engine after I change the oil and drain and refill the radiator... It sucked.
-
My buddy did something similar, so he popped it open and found the hard drive connected to the rest of the frame by a little piece of electrical tape:D That might have can off. Or you got the bad one of the bunch...
-
Sorry
Didn't know that. -

They both have pretty crazy acceleration, for what they are. I've seen moded ones 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.
-
On Top Gear, I saw the Evo VIII beat the hell out of a Lamborghini Murcialago on a track. All I really needed to see. I like scooby's too, but I'd go for the Lancer.
-
Yeah, thing looks funny as hell either way. But the really bad thing is that there are ricers worse than that every day
-
It's from the Luc Besson film "Taxi" (the guy that made 'The Fifth Element' and 'Leon the Professional'). It's a pretty funny movie.
-
I personally like grabber orange.

My cousin runs THREE Bosch fuel pumps and has three oil coolers(don't know the type). He still has a ways to go, but he plans to have the car close to the Xanavi R34's
-
You KNOW the M3 dude has his own set of issues.

He drinks Diet Mt. Dew
He has issues if he's drinking or eating ANYTHING in that car.....

It's km/hr. I converted it and 391 is 242 mph' date=' which is definitely possible. I think it has to do with the arcade mode vs the sim mode, and that Toyota is DAMN fast and the guy playing the game is DAMN good. I've been into the 5:20's in the sim mode, but I'm still using the joystick so I'm handicapped somewhat.
I don't think the game is totally accurate either. I pulled a 6:53 in a 240Z for cryin out loud. Look at that link I had earlier to REAL lap times, that's faster than a Radical SR8.
Some of it has to do with driving on the verge of death the whole time, but also some of that has to be the game just not being accurate. For one thing when I did the 6:53 I had super soft tires on. If it weren't a practice session the tires would be completely gone within 1/4 lap.[/quote']
Oh man, I feel f**kin retarted....
My 6:13 was in a M3 GTR. -
I was actually pretty impressed with the acurracy of the track in GT4. For the most part cars were +/- 10% of thier real life counterpart. There's a guy on gtplanet who is running mid 4 minute laps. I don't think that's ever been done. He also does it in the arcade mode and I believe the physics are simplified a bit. Here's a vid of him running a 4.44

He uses a toyota minolta becuase he likes it. I think there are cars with more potential in the car for sure. The most impressive part is that he's not using any driver aids and he uses the driving force pro wheel in 900 degree mode.
Most GT4 fans think the reason real life times don't get that fast is because it takes too much guts and 'on the limit' driving. What do you guys think?
Just how in th F**K did he get it going that fast????! I topped mine out with gear ratios all the way up at 25 and only got it to 270. He's goin 395!!
I did a 6:13 second lap with a top speed of 234, and I'm sure with 395, I can shave of 2-2:30 minutes...

That is sexy, any chance you have a picture with the hood closed? (Err, with a rear engined car, do you say hood or trunk?)
-
That is gorgeous man.
