Cars The Need For Speed

[AccAkut]

Me too!

American muscle, even pony cars to me are pretty exiting to see in the UK!

Have seen tons of the new RHD Mustangs though, but even those have so much presence here that they're still cool.

A C7 Z06 followed me all through Kassel on Sunday... and showed the difference of roughly 520 bhp when we reached the city limits - it was just gone But US muscle is still very rare. I see Porsches every day, Ferrari from time to time, but fast US cars are a once every other month sight (excluding the Pontiac Fury an friend owns)

My parents had a Red C4 Vette when I was a teenager. They let me drive it on the highway with one of 'em a couple of times before I got my license. A year later I finally had my license and it would take a lot of begging, but they would allow me to take it out every now and then on the weekends. I know my father had some work done to the engine and it needed a new chip. I think a different cam was installed. I'm NOT a car guy in the least when it comes to what's under the skin. Mom finally got back to me with a couple of old, not so great quality photos that she just scanned in per my request:

I just saw a nice red one (no spoiler) for sale at a little used car lot across town last month. Was going to test drive it (and swing by my roommate's shop, put it on the lift, and measure stuff) but it was gone the next week.

Saw a turquoise/teal one at another dealership a couple weeks later but it was already sold. They seem to be moving...

Now that's cool... Personally I'd prefer it without the spoiler... But what a car!
Learning to drive in such a car... well that's a priceless life experience
I'm imagining how good it would be, driving down the PCH in a C4 with plenty of the loud pedal... I feel the need...

Wow that reminds me a lot the road where I lived when in Matthews NC, on the outskirts of Charlotte many years ago

Just bumping this because being on page 2 is not cool...anything happening with this lately?

Yes trying to find a spot between my commissioned projects to get started on the 512 I wasn't expecting to get this much demand when I've started this project, but doesn't mean I won't finish it. It will take some more time, that's all.

I think I'm more excited about the 512/Diablo pack than any of the other cars I've done.

I think I'm more excited about those two cars than any others too. Technically, the Countach and then the Testarossa were THE cars of my childhood...but the Diablo is the first Lamborghini to materialize in my short phase of lusting after cars. The 512TR is just an extension of the Testarossa in my mind. Besides Kunos developers, there aren't any two modders who I trust will deliver a unique, realistic experience of the two vehicles. You guys make a great team!

I have a dream that one day that there will be equal hype between all car mods.

I'd rather have a constructive, but critizising community then hype kids.

why cant you be both

 

[Stereo]

I don't think there's any point having people criticizing the choice of cars people want to mod, pretty much any car is desireable to someone and they should feel ok about modding it if they want to.

 

[Brownninja97]

with the acception of the pt cruiser I agree

 

[aphidgod]

So you're saying you want a Pontiac Aztek?

 

[After_Midnight]

I vote for the PT Cruiser

 

[unseen]

Fiat Multipla is quite obviously the most desirable of all.

 

[aphidgod]

Of those three, I'm inclined to agree. (But in a perfect world I'd be doing an AMC Gremlin.)

Fortunately for all of us, my plate is pretty full as it is.
