If you have an interest in cars whether they are Japenese cars, Sports car, luxery cars, classic American Muscle cars whatever. Motorcycles bring it in.

If you drag race, road race, street race bring it in. If you like to drink beer and wax your car bring it in.

2008 Dodge Viper vs

2008 Corvette Z06

Im a Vette guy but I think the Viper has the edge in looks.

I've always thought the C5 looked better than the C6 Vettes. Don't know why, really.

This is my ride a 2002 Z.

I keep it for nice weekend days. I got a $1,900 ticket in it a few years back and that cooled me down on the speeding. I am thankful for it in a way.

A Twin Turbo V12? Wow. That car must have 800 horsepower. boltqe5.gif

I love that era Supra. I was so pissed when the original Fast and the Furious movie came out, because the demand and price went through the roof.

Question because I don't know shit about cars: Dude in my neighborhood has a Nissan Skyline. It looks like it's about 10 years old. The driver's side is on the right side of the car. Aren't those things illegal in CA (emissions and whatnot)?

Here's my Aussie muscle car (with American grunt.)

It's a 1976 Holden Monaro GTS.

It runs a 350 Chev.

Admittedly this model, the GTS, is a bit garish, but it has the performance to back it up.

I'd be interested in hearing some non-Australian opinions. smile.gif

Nice car.

Is it pretty fast?

Do you guys have any smog to deal with down there?

Very fast.

It's quite heavy compared to modern cars, but but the power it has makes up for it. The engine is modified so it's faster than the original version but also drinks a lot more petrol.

There's no smog here. Very clean air. My only worry is petrol prices, which mean I don't drive this car too often.

Not having to deal with Smog is nice. I bought an `80 Vette about 6 years ago and planned on dropping a 427 in it. At that time California had a rolling exemption that was back to `75 and older. Then they killed the Rolling exemption and stopped it at that year.

I could only fix it up to a certain extent. I dropped major $ in it as far as looks are concerned but it was still slow.

Emissions in California are very strict but we dont have an inspection like some other states. In PA for example they check the whole car out...brakes, turn signals etc.

In Cali they dont care if you have wheels as long as you burn clean.

I think the Japanese Skyline had crumple zone/crash requirements that it couldn't get around as well. I've only seen them on the track, and have never seen one on the road.

Ilian's was a convertible Karmann Ghia. My aunt has owned tons of those things...always was her favorite car.

This is my dream car and I'm gonna have one before I'm 45.

Personally, I'm a motorcycle or kid abduction van sorta guy, but muscle cars are where it's at for me, car wise.
BigBENisGod
Yeah I love Muscle Cars too. The old Buick GS was a pretty cool Muscle as well that wasnt as well known. Nobody thinks about Buick when they think of performance but those things were pretty damn quick. I think they were close to as fast as the old Hemi`s.

On the Mopar side I always loved the stance of the original Challenger.

Hang onto it. Once they discontinue the Corvette {very soon} it will be something that may increase in value in a few years.

Ooh, very nice. I can't decide whether I like the styling or not, but the 350Z was so perfect it's hard to improve.

They actually program some of the torque OUT to keep the car manageable.

Teslas are gay. Okay, not gay, but derivitave..straight up they lifted the body work, nothing like cutting edge batteries and have a sky high price. I'd take a Fisker IF I was in that kind of market (which I'm not).

What car mags do y'all get? Car mag subscriptions just fully get given away on the regular on freestufftimes. I get Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Automobile, Autoweek, Road & Track...none of which I pay for.

Help me buy a new car? Okay, I have to be able to put in a minimum of two adults, two kids, two dogs (weighing about 140lbs) and it has to be able to tow at least my 2200lb pop up trailer and it must have AWD or 4WD. Gas mileage is important. I'd love to buy something less than 5 years old and spend no more then 20K. I have my own list of vehicles on my radar, but give me ideas/suggestions.

The 370 is superior in every way IMHO. Nice scoot.

I was very put off by the 370z in pics until I saw it in person at a car show, then in motion in the commercial.

Now, look at the 350 & 370 parked side by side and it's really no contest. My shit is just meaner, more athletic.

Yeah I gotta keep the rpms low for the first 1000 miles. Haven't really stretched out its legs yet. I'm taking some long road trips the next couple of weekends so I can get to 1000 asap. Then off to some twisty hills I go. Maybe Hwy 1 on a nice sunny day.

We got a call one morning to respond to a cat caught in a car.

turned out it was sleeping in the engine of a van and when the guy started it up to go to work, the cat got all tangled up in the fan belt.

One leg was savagely mangled yet it was still fighting like a bastard when we tried to free it. Had to put gloves and a tunic on because it was still trying to fight and bite.

We finally got it out and it hobbled in to the garden. So we took it back to the station and euthanised it. Tough cat.
