Is this one of those you go ahead and try to buy speed, I'll just make it type situations?

Also, did anyone else notice that the road is wet?!:eek:
Not sure what they did to the car, but my guess is that there isnt much that can take that GTR. Dont know a ton about cars, but im guessing its got 2 big turbos and an intercooler to match. Kinda sad that a TTv6 took a quad turbo W 16, and murdered it for a nice price of 80k plus work.

dont think so hayabusa

that Switzer GTR puts down about 800hp/700lb-ft tq and the power/weight ratios is much higher than the tank of a Veryon since they cut out about 200lbs from the Nissan....bigger turbos, bigger intercooler, injectors, yada yada yada. the Veryon is fast at top speed, but it weighs a ton and cant compete with a lightweight car.
their p800 kit is $19k on top of the $90k price of the R35. they have kits that go up to $60k plus the car.

if you put enough money into any car, it could be as fast but not as classy....though, there are plenty of other cars id get before the Veyron. aesthetically, it does nothing for me
but but but, it was on discovery channel, they compared it to a jet plane :p

i agree...the veyron looks like an astroglide bottle with roof scoops and a spoiler, but the interior looks superb and bugatti vs. nissan......

i just ROLF when dudes compare their 30k whatever with 40k worth of upgrades to a ferrari or other high-end luxo machine....

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II

/thread
I approve of the Lancia shout out, but I'd rather have a Stratos. Yes, the Delta Integrale is a better car by pretty much any quantifiable measure, but the Stratos is just way cooler IMO. The Delta is pretty badass though.

American car I would love to own:


The Italian version that is still a personal favorite (yes, it lost to the Shelby, but still worth 2x as much):

Stevew following one of these down a dirt road in my Citroen wagon cost me and broken oil pan - luckily it was a company car :)

That TDI 4-motion is nice. Would be perfect for both mtb and family trips.
