Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Well ive been into cars for a long time and know alot about them, performance wise....and i was just wondering what all cars computer dudes like and if they find cars interesting...so whats your favorite car?



-My preference.... :owell just take a look at a real car!  :o

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

My favorite car has always been a truck.  Spent my whole driving life in trucks (except one bout with a 76 Chevy Nova.)  I just like my 4-Wheel Drive V-8, mud sliggin, stump pulling trucks.  And as long as I can I'll be driving one.  Sure you pass me in your sports car.  But when you pull in to a Gas Station I'll drive over you and your car.  ;D

ok, i can see where ur coming from, but would u take something like a Ford SVT Lightning?

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Honestly I do not know how a Ford SVT Lightning looks
like, there is lots of nice fast cars Ferrari, BMW, Porshe
Toyota celica WTC , many of the WTC class are nice.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

The 4-wheel drive lightnings are nice (and yes they used to make them in 4-wheel drive, I'm not sure if they still do).  But I don't like 2-wheel drive trucks.  Just defeats the purpose in my book.  But then again I live in the Mountains and have seen 3 and 4 feet of snow at one time.  Nothing moves much in that but at least in 2 to 3 feet of snow I'll be goin' somewhere while every one else is huddled 'round the fire.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I'm partial to what ever runs and get's me going to where I want  ;D

Now if I had a choice it would have to be a 58 Stingray or a T-Bucket

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Now this is the MOTHER of all cars!!!   0-60 in 3.0 FLAT!!!

- 7 speed
- 650 bhp
- V-12
- 0-60 : 3.0 sec
- 0-100 : 6.3 sec (that beats most cars in 0-60!!!)

                      !!!MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

The F60 is a nice and fast car, but I can't get my hands on one of those. So a Mustang cobra will suffice for now.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Make sure that it is a Mustang Cobra R, $55,449!!!  Not bad for a car that does 0-60 in 4.3!!!  Might i ad a nice 385 hp V8, 4.6L ( although ford should have stayed w/ there nice 5.0's)

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

How about the ugly looking Doge Vipers ?
Saw them on TV yesterday racing in the GT class
700 horse powers and ugly  ;D

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Vipers are stupid...they just tried to put gobs and gobs of power by using a modified HD truck engine and puttin it into a car. Didn't work. Beats the Vette, sure, but I know of a "family sedan" that can beat the RT10's (0 - 60 in 4.8). The GTS and GTS R are faster than that @ 4.3, but they are trying to get around engineering. That is why a V8 (that's is less than half of the size of that 8L engine in the Viper) is placed in a well-engineered car, the Lotus Esprit (pronounced eh - spree, not e spirit), and kicks the crap out of any of the Vipers at the price of the RT10!!! And it is a whole lot more exotic too!!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Ah, but would the poor man go after over priced exotic car or nicely tuned power machine, for much less!  Man if u could tell me a "family seday" that could go 0-60 in less then 4.0 seconds , please tell me, cuz i will get my but up right now and go buy it!!! Well they aint that bad to tell ya the truth!  Not bad at all!  Yeah i think that the new look for the snake car is pretty vicious too.  But it beats the pants off the older look, expecially the crappy '93.  I certainly would take it, but a bit to pricey...heck what am i talking about pricey, im the one posting Ferraris everywhere!!! Also known as the "Hyper Viper" it comes w/ about 500 HP, its called the "Hyper"-Dodge Viper SRT-10.
This pretty car does 0-60 in 4.0 sec, comes w/ an 8.3L  V-10, and nicely priced at around $73,000! clocked at over 195 mph, thats pretty good for a 70 grand car!!! Also, it did the 1/4 mile in 12 flat, not bad at all!  But it is a heavy 3400 lbs, so that would definantley put drag on it!!! There is also an 833 Viper out, but thats a review for another day!!! Well not to sound like a spokes person, but i kinda like the car, it gives Doge a whole new attitude!   Tell me this aint a pretty car!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Did you know that that Modena up in the first post had its aerodynamics actually designed by their F1 engineers? It has one of the lowest drag coefficients to date, only surpassed by a handful of cars, including the "banana car" which I believe was created in the 80's by either GM or Chrysler which was tied for first. And you guessed it, it was shaped like a banana.

Wtf are u talking about? the Dodge Viper is a beautiful machine sure the rt 10 is wrong (don't like convertables except for Honda S2000) u've got too be kidding me that u think it's ugly? U must be partially blind or something cause it's beautiful!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Right here baby...

2002 Eclipse GT ST

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

If you guys wanna talk about convertables, refer to the first post of this thread...its cousin the F1 Spider is probably one of the best and fasted convertables on the planet!  Although its priced at $229,000, i think that its worth it!! NoW ThAt Is A CoNvErTaBlE!!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I am in love

But .... I drive a truck - F150 SuperCrew. I make the boys heads turn as I go by. At first I thought it was me, but low and behold it was the truck.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah im guessing that it is kinda both in that case! Im sure that that truck is pretty nice, i like them as well...but if ur into the XK versions of the pretty jags, might i suggest a pretty looking car...i think that u would like this as well...this XKR is almost identical to the XK8, but comes with much higher performance!  Tell me if u dont like this one....

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah, the XK8 is a reincarnation of the legendary XKE, the E-type. The E-type is undisputedly the most beautiful car to ever be built. Here is a picture of one, but pictures don't do this car justice; if you get the opportunity to see one in real life, don't miss it, you won't regret.

Once again, I must say, pictures don't do this car justice.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Man i know exacly what ur talking about, this car sure does pack a good punch!!  Yeah the E-type is what really gave a good name to Jaguar!  This car may look like a toilet to and uneducated onlooker, but if u know my cars like me and apparenely vee_ess...u know that this car is a lion trapped inside a mouse's skin!  I wouldnt mind taking this car for a spin!  Heck i know that this car would easily take a '65 Stingray anytime, being the fasted car of its day, 1965 that is lol!  Here's a lil bette pic of it...

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yes the E-type is a nice car also I remember some
nice Aston Martins forgot model names though.

Speaking of cars anybody here playing Re-Volt ?

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I love them!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah ive played Re-Volt once for Dreamcast, that game was kinda addicting but kinda hard to work the car in the like the stunt course and stuff!  Buy i think the Aston Martin that was trying to be reconize abouve would be the V12 Aston Martin Vanquish...oh yeah she's a beauty, most definetly!  

-sorry for the big pic... :-/

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I'm impressed Propig.  Gotta love the Ford Trucks.  Where I live it ain't a matter of getting there fast it's a matter of getting there.  Beauty lies in function.  

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yes nice aston martin there soccer-stud.

Just got re-volt for pc a few weeks ago really fun
(on sale 5$ for the cd)
lots of sites with new cars and tracks
and one can alter the  "physics" of the cars
more torque, more speed, weigght center of mass
springs, friction, etc... made my col. moss go really
well  ;D

Very sweet looking civilized version.  I'll still race ya.  4-wheelin is more than just the vehicle, it takes guts, and the willingness to damage/destroy your vehicle and yourself.  I haven't 4-wheeled in years, last time I stuck my jeep so well,  we thought a helicopter would be necessary to get us out.  (the winch was under mud)  My buddy Don had to winch me out. :-[

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Havn't done any  4 wheeling, well once visiting Whasington state in winter time a 4 wheel bronco was stuck in a snowy
ditch I just got in and drow out of the ditch I guess my
experince with the snow in Sweden paid off.
I had a 58 chevy panelwagon with a straight longblock six
and granny gear while living in ca. got stuck on a sandy
beech following tracks from other truck (probably 4 wd)
but we gut out when my friend with dessert experience
remembered that one just have to let a lot of air out
of the tires, down to 6-10 psi and the wheels didn't dig down
any longer so  I just drow out with no problem.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Sure you need determination and all of that to go 4 weelin', but this baby makes a Hummer look like a Yugo!  No comparisson, at all!  I got all the determination right here, Grave Digger style!!!  Now if anyone would love ot challenge me to a off-road race...be my guest...because off-road for this killer is like water for a fish...

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Determantion is great but you need knowledge.   Bump that rear-steer in Grave digger and you be eatin' grass and lookin at the sky through your own butt-hole.  I've even seen grave digger go rubber side up with a pro at the wheel.  Skill my friend, skill will get you there and back.  And when all else fail improvise.  I've busted snow drifts deeper than my hood was tall but just standing on the throttle won't get you anywhere but deeper (under certain circumstances).  I was muddin' once and hit a pit that had two sets of tracks.  I got cocky and took the middle, one rut from each side.  Big mistake, the center was solid.  I went from 25 to 0 in 6 inches.  Ended up finding two trees, jacking up the truck by the bumber (which was on the ground, solid center holding up truck with 4 tires hanging in mid air in the deep, deep ruts).  Shoving the trees under locking it in 4-low and holding it to the floor in reverse. One of the logs kicked up and ripped off a skid plate but I got out.  Everything's diffrent snow ain't mud and sand is it's own ball of wax.  But if your comfortable in your rig you can fare well in all of it.  Horsepower can get you there, but there can be 20 feet up a tree, over a cliff, under 10 feet of mud and water, or in a body cast.  Be careful have fun and never spit in front of women or children.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Ah...but it has quadrasteer...four wheel steering so even if u were to bump me in the back ( anything smaller that a fellow moster truck would just get eaten alive!!!) I would still have the front to regain my balance! Besides when your in one of those mosters, you dont need to worry about anything getting in your way, i mean you got your 1200 hp to guide you so....there just to big, to powerfull, and to underestimated...

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

And they do'n fit under trees well.  The monster trucks do best in a stadium rolling over cars.  Too tall, Too Top-heavy.   I'll stay with the Hummer. (Although I do like your civilized version)

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yeah it doesnt hafta fit under trees...just run the stupid things over...but yeah u could definetly get more out of a Hummer....driving and accesory wise..but power...uh uh!  its all good though...

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Have been driving som 4 wheel trucks now 900+ horse powers
;)

Well, I tried Leadfoot by Ratbag, pretty cool game  ;D
