anyone guess what make those engines are?
Yamaha?
Those are def. motorcycle engines, but I can't figure out what make.
I remember seeing a similar twin-superbike-engined AWD seven make 0-60 in less than three seconds on 5th Gear one time.

has anyone seen the caterham powered by a v8 based on 2 busa motors with a common crank? cant dig up pics but it is insane, in excess of 300hp at some ridiculous rpm.
those are definitely bike motors but I dunno what kind either.

Somewhere on NICO there is a vid of that car doing the Ring. It's sick.
BTW, did you all know that oil cooler thing on the back is just for the rear diff??

I will look for the NICO vid... I didnt realize it was just for the rear diff... I couldn't figure out what that was for at all. I really love the engine bay vents under the side mirrors. I cant believe they are only making 20 of these. So not fair.

I pic my z-tune up tomorrow...when are you getting yours?

I'm getting mine as soon as I go to sleep.
It's understandable they are only making 20 since all of them started out as used cars. They are probably really picky about the skylines they choose. But then again, seems like they should offer the z-tune treatment to any skyline owner who can pay for it.

I'm going to get shot, but I don't care.
The new Acura RL is awesome. I want one really friggen bad.

I like the 2-door Legends before they called it the RL. My ex nearly begged me to buy one we drove for us as my Subie was dying and she wanted to get rid of her Monte SS as it was getting old. Nice car, but finding a manual was too hard and another Subaru was cheaper.

Legend coupes are awesome. I want a 6 speed type 2, 230hp. Theyre sooooo rare though. They really remind me of R34's.

Probably my next car very soon also but silver not this gay blue color

I LOVE the taillights on the coupes.
Not a huge fan of the front end, though. Wish it looked a bit more like the R34 skyline front end.......

G35s/350z's are beasts. It's funny to watch them autox. Don't turn off the trac and go mountain runnin!

test drove one today. I didn't really beat on it, I was wanting to see how comfotable it was and ergonomic. I will be checking out the 3 series bmw's this week. either the new 2006 designed sedan or the regular 2005 coupe. I'll keep you posted

The G is much nicer than the 3's, the 3 are much easier to drive 'spiritedly' imo.

Infinity Q45. But only if hopped up.
Supercharged Mercedes, but only the big boys.
But my main power busters are the cheap (?) ass sleepers.
The Volvo 240 with the twin turbo Buick V6.
The Pinto Wagon V6 that does 150 mph for 200 miles. The Dodge 1960s PowerWagon that rolls into the dragstrip with a dog, extra tires and chains in the bed, then proceeds to pull low 12's.

I've been seeing quite a few E36 M3s around town lately, and I just LOVE the way they look. They look classy, but still ready for a race. They just look mean.
I also really like the E30s. They have a rather dated look, but that's OK. So do our subies........

I’ll toss out a few…
Air Cooled VeeWees, this is a ’59 Vert I built for my wife to drive in the summer.
Here’s a few more I don’t own yet, but a mans gotta have a dream…
Like others have said, the BMW 307 might be that best looking roadster ever.
Mercedes 300SL
And 540K
The sexiest racecar ever, Jaguar XK13
1958 Oldsmobile, huge and dripping in chrome, the wagon’s my fav.
And far ahead of its time, the 1963 Studebaker Avanti
I could go on and on

BMW 507, actually, and yes I agree it is absolutely beautiful. I have a 1:18th scale model of one.
Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 4:47 pm
by All_talk
Yes, 507. And I've got one more I just have to add...
The worlds most affordable super car, template of the modern rally car and super mean looking street machine... Audi Ur Quattro.
And in period rally trim
Gary
