The ultimate sleeper; LS1, RWD Prius

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/4300531185.html

 

Sworn off Mazdas (perhaps unfairly) after the rusting fiasco with the wife's Mazda3. It was under warranty but it was repaired 4 times and still, rust. Mazda was being stupid and not addressing the problem directly.

Anyhow...it's too bad cuz I like the looks of their cars.

 

Yeah.. sleeper.

 

HEY! It would be if it was sitting in a parking lot...turned off

 

LOL @ the Prius. I'd drive it.

 

also..

Wouldn't buy if it were real anyways.. because you can outrun a kia, but you can't outrun ugly.

 

Of course you would, you little ricer. I knew you would like those green wheels.

 

Must have been a bad driver. I remember when the ST first came out, I think it was R&T that tested it and ended up getting a 14.9 in the 1/4 mile. Compared to the time slips I've seen, that's not even close to real world. Owners were able to get low 14 seconds in stock form without much trouble. With a tune and a few bolt-ons, high 13 seconds is achievable.

 

Re: Prius

yeah I was gonna say, that would be just a tad loud

 

REPOST!

top fuel CGT

 

 

Better driving that Paul Walker and his buddy.























Too soon?

 

I'm trying to hold back the laughter but that was hilarious

 

like a boss

 

Anyone here a fan of the 1997 Callaway Corvette C12?

Goes on sale soon from the Richard Berry collection.

 

Wow those things look dated now.

I remember seeing it in a book a long time ago when it was new and really liking it...

 

Seriously considering a M3s GT hatch to replace my TL when they start building them with a 6MT.

There's a guy on 190Rev that has one in yellow. Done right, they can look good. Wheels are one of the hard parts to get, from the dealer at least. VIN required for purchase. I believe one of the ML models had very similar wheels to the Evo II that some use for a cheaper alternative.
There are a few vendors that do reproduction kits for the body parts.

2.3-16, last I was looking, are still pulling decent prices. Upward of $10k with low mileage & with a working/non-bled-out stopwatch.

 

Thanks for the info! yikes the wheels are a very important part of the look! sucks they are hard to get :-/ not like I was in the market heh

 

have a look at this insane car collection! linking because there are a lot of photos

It's never too soon.

 

 

 

You're always too soon

 

Holy shit

Interesting vehicle behind the F1 car...

 

What? It's just a real, stuffed, camel. I thought everyone had one of those.

 

I can just imagine the wine party conversations:

"So what's in your garage these days?"
"Got a Scuderia, a 500, an F1 car, and I just picked up a mint-condition camel from Arabia. Single-hump, four-hoof-drive. Shit's awesome."

 

That's.Just.Awesome.

Any idea where this place is?

 

that camel

 

Yeah, back when I was really looking for either a 2.3-16 or a '93 2.6 Sportline LE, I was really active on 190Rev. I don't remember how much it was per wheel, but since you had to have a VIN to get them new, used was about the only route for authentic EvoII wheels.

I believe the Evo I used the same wheels as the R129 SL.


But, if I had one, I'd want either Evo IIs or these:

 

I don't know about you. But i aint got no Camel.

 

So that's where all are money is going.

 

Not surprising as it's a similar case trying to get parts for the CSL M3s as well.
Small soft spot for the C12. Only ever seen 1 & that was probably a decade ago. Callaway says only 25 were ever made, and only the roof & greenhouse from the C5 remained.

Surprisingly, RAC at its old location had 2-3 of these pass through their doors.

 

Those overhangs, man. It looks like a dead ringer for a kit car. I'm not even a person who critiques overhangs, but sheesh.

 

@ the camel...

 

it's in UAE and it's Hamdan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's collection.

 

Agreed.

srika's answer aside, wasn't the camel a hint? As soon as I saw the house style and camel, this popped into my head

I wish I had some oil money.

 

Yeah, it was a hint, but I didn't want to make any assumptions...people get touchy about stereotypes.
