April 9, 201015 yr Whoever painted that chevy truck has alot of talent. Unfortunately he wasn't blessed with any taste. Just because you can paint everything, doesn't mean you should.
April 9, 201015 yr I agree that that GMC is very well done, and I acknowledge that it took a shitload of skill, but in my opinion, that is incredibly ugly...I like the SLS, and I usually don't like Mercs very much. The Ariel Atom is awesome too.
April 10, 201015 yr I agree that that GMC is very well done, and I acknowledge that it took a shitload of skill, but in my opinion, that is incredibly ugly...You said that nicer than I did, but IMO skill and effort aren't worth shit unless you apply to something worthwhile. The truck to begin with was a major fail, yes I know I have one, and the modifications are absurd and a huge waste of money.
April 10, 201015 yr Any TVR in general. My favorite cars. This one is just for kicks - TVR Cerbera Speed 12Looks like a European interpretation of the early Dodge Vipers.Super light weight, spartan features, and rough running high powered V8's.V12. I was going to say, I thought those had V-12s in them. The Speed-6s and Speed-12s are on the Gran Turismo game I have, perhaps a bit surprising for how rare they are.
April 10, 201015 yr I think I read somewhere online about the move towards European crash standards in many cars recently. That means a lot of newer cars are going to have flatter and higher noses, in an attempt to push a pedestrian in stead of wiping the legs out and slamming into the front glass. At least the tests show the high flat nose's are less dangerous in low speed hits.Now back to the topic:That kinda contradicts the move towards higher fuel efficiency, doesn't it?
April 10, 201015 yr I've been wanting to build one of these for a long timehttp://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j88/vacextar/P4030273.jpg

April 12, 201015 yr Author Admin The front end absolutely kills it for me. So damn ugly. It's a butter face.I agree. It's got the grill of an old gullwing, which I think looks dumbIf that's what they were trying for, then they succeeded...Blasphemy, nothing from a 300SL looks dumb. Aaron, you beat me to it with the pics. Saw them a few mins ago on Yahoo and wanted to post them.

One party does not care about the fuel consumption if your car is less dangerous.
April 12, 201015 yr Author Admin The challenge is for the automotive engineers to meld the two successfully.

I was going to say, I thought those had V-12s in them. The Speed-6s and Speed-12s are on the Gran Turismo game I have, perhaps a bit surprising for how rare they are.The Cerberras have a 4.6 and 4.2 V8, and the later ones moved to the TVR made inline-6.The speed 12 has a NA v12 that makes 800+bhp. Thats with no power additives, which is virtually unmatchable.
April 12, 201015 yr Lotus 7 kits. This one is a Caterham.Ultima GTR. Current record holder for the 0-100-0 time.
April 12, 201015 yr Indeed it is. Too bad they put the steering wheel on the wrong side! I can't shift with my left hand!
April 12, 201015 yr Indeed it is. Too bad they put the steering wheel on the wrong side! I can't shift with my left hand!It's not very hard once you get used to it. I have a few right hand drive vehicles at my house.
April 12, 201015 yr All time favorite looking cars from my youth?ford 32or ford 37Of course I loved the Diablo, but I was also into Supra's and late 60's early 70's muscle. Mach 1's. Boss mustangs.
April 12, 201015 yr 55-57 Chevy's are classic beauties! I love the 59 Biscayne about as much also.However, this is by far the sexiest vehicle I have EVER laid eyes on.
April 13, 201015 yr Ryan, I did not know you liked Italian ladies. Of course I do! The Prancing Horse and the Raging Bull are my dreams, but of course, I can only afford a pony. I have a fondness in my heart for the older Alfas too, but the new(er) C8 is just beautiful.
April 13, 201015 yr I also had Aston pron on my walls. Vantage and vanquish.The v12 Vantage would be on my wall today I bet. I thought I would throw one up here. I'm in love... A bit like the SL though it's so over the top it's almost wrong... but I still love it.
