Cool Car of the Week (Merged)

[nickdaddyg]

This week we have the:

PORSCHE 911 GT2!

(2002 model shown, 2003 is same)

Wow! 0-60 in 3.85 seconds, quarter mile in 11.9 seconds. Top speed 196 mph. (With quick gear ratios changes howver, that could go 200 for sure, but the acceleration would be slower)

Powered by a 3.6 liter flat 6 cylinder engine with twin turbochargers. The engine makes 456 horsepower, which is a lot. More than a shitty Corvette or Viper (except the 2003 Viper, although this car is still faster)
A cool thing about it and all 911 Porsches is that the engine is houses in the rear of the car. Luggage goes under the normal hood. Plus direct power given to the rear axle without a drive shaft.


NOTE: (in a V6 the cylinders are lined in two groups of three like this \ /. in a flat they are fallened sideways like so _ _)

Here it is:

Here it is again!

[nickdaddyg]

Here is yet another. Please post comments.

[Laser Link]

I like that first car better. :)

[WhiteFleck]

That trunk thing sounds cool.

[Weltall]

Have you seen the 2004 Mustang? It looks like shit

[nickdaddyg]

Laserlink: Yeah the Elise does look more aggressive and stylish in general. However, the Porsche would easily dust it. And the Elise would lose pretty bad. (Not saying the Elise is slow, just he Porsche is ultra! It's one of the fastest non-race cars.)

Wetlall: Yeah that new Mustang is ugly. Speaking of which I've always hated Mustangs. Everyone fricken has one.

White Fleck: Yeah the trunk thing is cool. But did you know, that Porsches have always been rear engine, front trunk cars since they came out. Besides the 944 and 928 that is. Anyway rear engines make a car a sports car. Also because you'll look coll saying "oh yeah! look at this" while opening the REAR while taunting a Corvette.


Just another thing, that car costs about $185,000

[nickdaddyg]

BUMP


Come on, people need to comment on this avant garde car. You know it actually was thorughly designed by scientists at Weissach labs.

One of my all time favotires, it is.

[Laser Link]

Well, it really doesn't matter to me how fast a car can go, since I will never drive it that fast anyway. If it can go the speed limit, I'm happy.

[nickdaddyg]

Sometimes you can go fast. My older brother in his BMW got up to 115, while I was in it. He has a radar thingy on it though for cop detecting.

Anyway, It's also just to know that you're car can go fast. noteably, faster than the guy next to you. So you can say "shut up, you're little 'mustang GT' is shite!" or "hey, Vipers are only good in America. Come to Germany, foo!"

[Laser Link]

Yes, and I've driven over 100 mph in our Honda Odyssey, and that's not exactly a sports car. Until recently, Montana did not have a freeway speed limit during the day.

Anyway, It's also just to know that you're car can go fast. noteably, faster than the guy next to you. So you can say "shut up, you're little 'mustang GT' is shite!" or "hey, Vipers are only good in America. Come to Germany, foo!"

I can't imagine I'll ever be in that situation.

[WhiteFleck]

I managed to push my '90 Honda Accord in Crap-O^TM Condition to about 110. Does that mean anything? Not really, since the fastest I drive from place to place is 75-80 on a 65. But that's only when I'm REALLY in a hurry.

[nickdaddyg]

Whoa! Yeah, most cars can push 110 or so.

I did say my brother's BMW did 115.
HOWEVER...BMWs, as we know, are made in Germany, adn before they come here, they have governors (speed limiting chips) in them. He had it at 115, in last gear, with about 2/3 of his rpms left. So without his limiter, the car would top out at around say 145-150. The speedo reads up to 155 though. But it MIGHT be able to do that too.

[nickdaddyg]

This week, have we the:

ASTON MARTIN DB7 GT


Made by British car maker Aston Martin, the DB7 GT is a even higher performance version of the already high performance DB7 Vantage.
This car sports a 6.0 liter V12 cylinder engine, which generates 435 horsepower.
The car costs around $170,000.
It's also quite fast, doing 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds, and having a top speed of 185 mph.
Not quite as fast as the previous car (the Porsche), this thing is still quick.

Here it is:

[nickdaddyg]

Here's another good shot:
Look at the dual exhaust! Now that's mean!

[EdenMaster]

Now nick...you ARE aware you're the only one here who gives a damn right?

Okay, just making sure.

[lazyfatbum]

Well god damn, someone went and made a car that resembles a suppository.

Thank you for using auto reply from version 1.2

[Italian_Pyro]

..how did you manage to leave out racist?

[Fittisize]

Now nick...you ARE aware you're the only one here who gives a damn right?

Heh heh. Sorta like your Battlebots thread that went on for too damn long (with you being the only poster).

[nickdaddyg]

Yeah you, Nick Burns!

Number one, I do know what I'm talking about, dumbshit. You wanna have an automotive knowledge contest?

Number two, I don't type in all caps for no reason. I only did the car names and the top because the are like titles.

Number three, why did you make me down as a Flamer? Have I done that within last several months or year?

Number four, those posts do make sense and do say something. They inform. Some might not care, but hey! they do make sense and say something.

Number five, you're a gay lover that's given head one time too many. (Yeah! The best line! Haha! Stupid, but hilarious.)

But AT LEAST I kept it to one thread that was easy to overlook, rather than making a new thread every week or so for my fight reviews. Also, his threads have a much too long title. Finally, I realized nobody cared, something I'm not sure nick knows...

So there's a distinct difference.

...and I wasn't the ONLY poster :D

[Nick Burns]

Goto bed kid, I'm sure your Bill Gates want to read you a bed-time story. Oh, I have better things to do than learn every little thing about a car.

[nickdaddyg]

"Oh, I have better things to do than learn every little thing about a car."

OK then, don't say I don't know anything about the topic.


By Edenmaster:
"Finally, I realized nobody cared, something I'm not sure nick knows... "

Now for you: Looks like some people cared, since I got a few posts on my last two threads. Even if they don't post, lthey still got views, meaning people were interested enough to at least look at the pictures, if not post.


...stupid people

[nickdaddyg]

See? Look at them. 74 views, 56 views, and 47 views.

People do care because I know, those views didn't accumulate for no reason.

[Sacred Jellybean]

I accidentally clicked in here a couple times...

[EdenMaster]

You know, when you come in the thread it counts as a view.

Not that I have the slightest interest in these threads, but it's not a bad thing for nick to make a new thread every week. It's not like we're bursting with posts or anything like that.

[Sacred Jellybean]

Well, duh.

[Dark Jaguar]

I just popped in here, and I notice that you guys are getting just a tad personal. I do believe nick actually wanted us to complain about no one caring, first off. Second off, regardless, this is the random forum, and even though around here he is apparently most hated poster, he has the right to talk about cars. Of course, posting new threads to clutter everything up is an act of annoyance, which is a deadly sin, but he made a total of two car threads last I checked. That's hardly an overflowing amount (well, in this forum it is :D).

[nickdaddyg]

See? I can't post these if I want. This is Ramble City remember? And even if you did accidently click in here a few times that still doesn't cover 50 views.
