Cars that get you all hot and bothered

[Mike]

Yeah I don't care for the rims I just like how clean the car looks.

I hope you mean... lack of dirt "clean." Otherwise, your definition of "clean" is not correct.

car is dope. wing is not enjoy

[D_Eclipse9916]

Yes sir, I saw it another forum. That wing is HIDEOUS...itd be SOOO clean de-winged.

Yesterday I had an older guy come in to where I work to look at helmets and what not. We got to talking and when asked about the usage of the helmet, he said he was buying one for some shakedown runs of his cars being built in Las Vegas.

"911's" he says.

Ah.

"With Chevy V8's"

Oh.

If I understood him correctly, he owns a LS3-powered 996, and a LS7-powered 997, among a slew of previous (maybe some current?) V8 914's. He was happy to give me a bunch of pics and talk about the process enough to completely derail me from work :lol: In the photos you can see his friend Pete Brock stopped by to check out the process. The purple 930 has a dry-sump LS7 built for someone else who I'm told lives in the Great Falls area.




















Anyways, as a growing LS/swap geek, I found all this profoundly awesome enough to share.

RS4 to be exact.

...and yeah, I'm not that crazy about the 5 in yellow. I prefer white and black but was too lazy to find a good picture.

Twin turbo...V12? Yes please.

After experiencing Lincoln's twin-turbo V6 for a week, I can only imagine the hellacious power of six moar cylindars.

And that yellah' RS4 is sweet.

Jim Glickenhaus' new P4/5 Competizione... After seeing the original I can only imagine what the Competition version is like..

Yeah, the Brabus Rocket is pretty ridiculous.

From the Wiki article on the car -

720 hp@5100 & 970 lb-ft of torque @2100

Top speed of 365.7 km/h (227.2 mph), electronically limited to 350 km/h (220 mph)

In 2006, the Brabus Rocket set a world record speed for the world's fastest street-legal saloon, with 365.7 km/h (227.2 mph), on the track in Nard├▓, Southern Italy.

Compare that torque number to the Big Three's 2011 class of heavy duty trucks with diesel engines -

Dodge makes 650 lb-ft of torque @1500
Chevy makes 765 lb-ft of torque @ 1600 rpm
Ford makes 800 lb-ft of torque @1600










Oh, and here's the police package Rocket. :twisted:

[Apoc]

Saw one of these today. I really like it.

[WRXtranceformed]

I'm with you man, as much flak as the IS-F gets for being slightly less competent than the M3 in most respects and harsher to drive, I have always loved Lexus's and hope to own a car like that once the TL-S goes to the grave. There is a blue one here in Ballantyne that is so sick.
