BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Would've upset the balance the v8 drive train at a guess. The GTR is a playstation wet dream, magnificent engineering. But the nsx imo is a proper super/sports car. Handling developed by Mr Senna. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have worked with Renault a bit. Renault Auckland have a lot in stock, they only really show what they are made off on a back road with the ESP turned off, a lot of fun. The new Focus RS has me boned up at the moment. Saving my dollars for one.. Or a second hand new M3, but I love hot hatches, they are practical, fun, unassuming and non pretentious.

Apex 693 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 My current daily is a new Clio, cool little car, amazing that it's only a 1.2, it goes well. I fitted wide tyres and some KW Suspension, so it's on rails. Also has awesome I love my Poodle stickers for extra zero f**ks given about looking cool value.

Shameless plugging of Japanese supercars on a BMW forum, so here's mine :-D 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Not pooh poohing them, just being realistic. Was taking about 95% of NSX's that are not fast and or Automatic, the last of them went ok but they are in general no drag machine. Would love one though, with a supercharger. My favourite is Wolfs Acura from Pulp Fiction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Original LS400, aka Celsior in the JDM market. I read a fantastic book about the whole story written by an author that had unseen documents and interviewed some key figures involved during the developmental stage in the 1980s. I just love it's relentless attention to detail, the quality inside and out is exceptional, and the subtle exterior detailing holds many interesting features. "The Japanese behemoth pumped more than $1 billion dollars into project F1. The F in this case stood not for "Formula" but for "Flagship." At its height, F1 employed 3700 of Toyota's top engineers, split into 24 engineering teams. They built 450 mules and 900 test engines and logged more than 1.5 million development miles -- incredible numbers, by any standard. Toyota bet that gasoline would once again be cheap and plentiful, so it started work on the F1's heart, a 4.0-liter, 32-valve V-8. Producing 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, the engine was very potent by the standards of the day" My favorite would be the 1997-8 facelift 2nd Gen complete redesign with the VVTi engine making the car good for a 0-60 sprint of 6 seconds flat. One quick barge. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duvey 245 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Ah. Wow. Carerra RSR - this livery is my favorite And I think the prettiest car ever made - the Alfa 33 Stradale 270bhp @ ~9000 rpm out of a 2.0L V8, in a car that weighs 700kg. I can't think of anything better. EDIT: Also: What a ridiculous sound: Edited February 21, 2015 by duvey 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Original LS400,... I'm sure you know about TST's 1million mile one... They remind me of those 'generic' Fords and American cars you'd see in 80s TV. The design is so simple and obvious, but on point. I'm a fan. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
