[pjr300]

Very interesting article... quite controversial as well! The Lambo's place was interesting.... as well as the BRZ.

Aventador and MP4-12C.

Flame suit on.

Was I the only one who groaned when they showed the girl in the Porsche?

Well it was a blue porsche, so I figured it was ok.

Nope. I said "well the Porsche's gonna run a 15" ... LOL

Fessing up..I groaned a little inside but not too much because I thought she was in the BRZ. :biggrin:

She was in the 911?

PDK + Launch Control = No Problemo Mang!

 

[TURBO2GO]

This is why I like my stick shift with no launch control. It isn't "girl-friendly".

 

[RYU]

Hell yeah

Aventador and MP4-12C.

1:53-2:10, & 4:25 = PURE SEX

2:58 = how can you hate on this $25k car. you really can't :smile:

when times dont matter, im with you... but after a decade of racing and continually improving my skills, i reached my limit and it isn't good enough for more than a 6th place finish. i like this technology as it makes up for my shortcomings. :biggrin:

 

[SWIFTVISION]

The fact that it's 25k and not 16k.

 

[RYU]

The fact that it's 25k and not 16k.

haha! fair enough.

name a car that can compete with this car for $16k and i'll buy it!

 

[N Spec]

It was pretty obvious the Aventador was going to win. ~700 hp with 4WD? Come on... Interesting that the MP4-12C nabbed second. It *only has 20ish hp over the 458 and weigh basically the same. I suppose the 458 is slightly overrated and mp4-12c is underrated given their dyno results.

This is why I like my stick shift with no launch control. It isn't "girl-friendly".

This. LOL the NSX is definitely the gentlemen's car with the manual steering for cornering also. However, I will have to say I have seen many women sport the S2000

 

[HBui39]

better yet show me a BRZ for $25k

 

[socold57]

I'm sold on a BRZ. Just a matter of time for me. If Honda comes up with a competitor then out goes the Subie.

 

[Ritesh]

I loved the track and drag race. The 12C basically destroyed all the competition on the track and was surprisingly fast at the drag race. BUT... it sucks so bad that it was ranked 5th behind the BRZ overall!!:biggrin:

 

[NetViper]

Wonder why no 458 this year
