I am still laughing at them for calling it Turbo S

 

Yeah...I agree. The naming convention they used was pretty dumb.

 

I think all of the 911 lineup is turbo now as well with the exception of the GT3... the word obviously doesn't mean much to Porsche anymore...

 

Yah but at least they all have turbo...

This thing doesnt even have an engine

 

It says when they tested the P100D, it did 10.4 in 1/4.... so that means the 911 if faster than them all

10.1 in 1/4 for the Turbo S

 

If only I had that kind of money...

 

PM BoostedJack. He makes more than Jeff Bezos does in a minute.

 

Made something cool today!

 

That livery reminds me of that trophy truck arcade game from back in the day

 

It's that guys car livery!

Shame on me, I didn't know. haha

 

That looks awesome! Are those individual pieces or did you custom dye all the colors in?

 

Such an awesome, iconic livery. Wouldn't mind Toyota bringing it (or Castrol) back in a retro-version in the future.

 

those fenders.

thicc

 

These are three different color Alcantara pieces stitched up, foam cut under to give a smooth finish at the seam lines. Pretty labor intensive process haha

 

Labor well worth it, IMO! that looks fantastic.

 

I'm alive!

Have much going on...But I'm alive!

 

 

Completely missed your posts about the new additions to the stable. Very nice!

How does the M3 do on the track in comparison to the Exige?

 

From a recent trip to Northern Ontario. Moisty at sunrise:

 

omg im so jelly of your ST aman!

 

Thanks Justn. It's definitely not perfect, but is a lot of fun.

That photo was supposed to go in the "Most Recent Shots of Your Ride" thread

 

I bet it is! Enjoy it in good health, Mr Aman!

 

Is it me or i think the cars are getting toooo fast nowadays...
M8 Comp can be driven everyday and service as a normal car yet. it does 0-60 in 2s and 1/4 in mid 10s and average 26mpg, Stock everything..
The car probably has close to 800bhp with 129mph trap speed...

But that C8 tho.... performance bargain of the decade, if you dont need back seat..

 

Perfect car to cruise down Rodeo Drive at a bicycle's pace.

On the other hand, exceed 1/3 throttle for more than 3 seconds = go tew jail bad boy

 

Insanity and it's super sexy

 

Nah... $150k should be able to get you that. Now if you were talking $50k, that would be a different story.

 

Right.

Are there any new cars with MSRP in the 50s that can get to 60 in under 3sec? (assuming no tax/title/etc/and just looking at pure MSRP)

If you can get the bare bones base C8 at $59,995.....

 

Driver escapes with MINOR injuries. Hit by two semi-trailers in England





Hope he uses the rest of his life constructively.

 

Being lucky is probably an understatement for that guy...

 

That's what he gets for not using his blinkers.

 

Crash was in the UK not NC

 

Have you been to the UK? Can be worse than the USA honestly.

 

So, what's the damage?

 

Lived there for 8 years. One accident. Car was hit from behind while stopped for a red light. Not really a big deal had it happen twice here. Difference was here I was in my 4X4 truck & the hitters imports were both towed away while the hittee went about his business. At the end of the day had a rear bumper replaced by the second ones insurance company.

Not much it should buff right out.

 

K...yeah, I can't see the issue. The owner must be very picky.

 

Transition Window Tint

Does this exist in an automotive application? The Flex needs the front windows redone for bubbling & a couple scratches in the tint. Was thinking about it yesterday while on our way to dinner.

We've had transition glasses for quite a while
Shoei [maybe others?] has transition visors
I believe there are transitions contact lenses now

The Mercedes has pretty dark windows, to the point of being almost a bit too dark at night. Seems transition would make a nice compromise, even if not quite as dark during the day.

man, I love transition glasses!! I dont care if it makes me look like a dork. transition glasses forever!

 

The shop that I get my tintS done at did/does offer some sort of transitioning film like that.

I want mine dark all the time though, so they can't see my gamecube nintendo.

 

Have you guys been hearing/seeing about a replacement pair of tires going on the rear of a car?

I got a new pair of tires for my brother's Accord, and the shop insisted on putting the new pair on the rear of the car. Their logic being this discourages oversteer in a panic situation.

Found myself in another discussion about it today, and I can't wrap my head around new tires going on the rear of a car as sensible. Maybe on a RWD or AWD vehicle you'd have a case. To me, this seems like compromising front grip (very important) for rear grip (less important, especially with ABS and traction control).

Curious on the thoughts of you regulars.
