reddsun1 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Holy bank capers, Batman! George Barris has decided to sell Batmobile #1 from his family's collection: http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=7a0b5271-b9b3-46d2-ade4-17fda8bc2b45>1=33002&ocid=ansmony11 It just hammered at $4.2 Mil. Somebody really wanted that car... I'm sorry, but the new Corvette kinda sucks. It may just be the the red color in most of the press photos, I dunno. But I can't help but wonder: is it more tragic, or pathetic, that this car's overall proportions and silhouette bear an uncanny resemblance to a children's CG movie character? If you squint a little, da*ned thing looks like fuggin' Lightning McQueen... Quote

rotorhead Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Tell me where I can get a new Turbo Encabulator for my vehicle. Everybody knows they keep that right next to the headlamp fluid Quote
Ladic Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 What do you guys think of the Volvo S60, right now they are leasing the 2013 model for $329 with $0 down, which is cheap. Is this a good alternative to the A4 or BMW1 series? Quote

areaseven Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) For the past five or so years, Honda has been teasing us with talks about the next-generation NSX. The biggest reveal at that point was Tony Stark's NSX Convertible concept in The Avengers.Last week, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Honda unwrapped the latest concept design of the new Acura NSX. The new car will be powered by a mid-mounted, direct injection V6 engine mated to Acura's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive) system. Power through the engine and two electric motors on the front wheel results in AWD handling and improved efficiency.Acura is expected to start production on the new NSX in 2015 at a new plant in Marysville, Ohio.2013 Acura NSX ConceptMeanwhile, what would Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno do for the first new NSX?

areaseven Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) You may remember the Singer Porsche 911 from several pages back. As it turns out, it's not a restored 911 Classic. It's actually a 1989-1994 964 (supplied by the customer) heavily modified to resemble the classic model and to accommodate the newer performance mods. The customer has a choice of two engines: a rebuilt 3.6 liter 270 bhp motor or a race-spec Cosworth 3.8 liter 360 bhp engine. Each Singer 911 is meticulously hand-built to the customer's specifications. The price? Singer wants roughly US$225,000 for a "standard" model, but options are astronomical - jacking up the car to US$500K.

Kaldar5 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Can we get Shoji Kawamori do to something about the design of this..... car.....?: P45, a nod to the actual smallest car in the world, the Peel P50. TheP45 looks like a gas-powered Hoveround topped by lights, mirrors and amodern version of the armor worn by the Knights Who Say Ni. Quote
areaseven Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 The new Corvette Stingray hasn't hit showrooms yet, but a pre-production model has already crashed. First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray Crashed Quote
ron5864 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Is that the 2014 Corvette Stingray with the Z71 offroad package? Hehe! Quote
Agent ONE Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Got, its SO lame they are calling it the Stingray. Quote
Beltane70 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I think it's lame that they even call it a Corvette! The car doesn't invoke a Vette feeling in me. Quote
areaseven Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Here's a low-budget car chase that gives The Fast and the Furious a run for its money. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Just my ride. I said i would contribute to this thread, and I never really did I do read it regularly, thank you guys, I love the pics and the videos Quote
reddsun1 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Got, its SO lame they are calling it the Stingray. Every time I see one--especially if it's red--I'm gonna start going "Ka-chow!" out loud, see how long it takes to catch on... Quote

ErikElvis Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I love Subaru's. I have no idea how there aren't more out there. They're basically AWD Hondas. And I dont mean that as an insult. Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I have a Subaru. Not a WRX though. Don't need turbo for daily commute in NY. Edited February 26, 2013 by Vifam7 Quote
pfunk Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 You toy collectors are so uneducated when it comes to the Auto's. Challenge me ,PLEASE!!! Lol, considering I design "Auto's" lol I accept The Vette unfortunatly lost Lutz as did the Viper and went the way of plastic cladding inserts instead of molded in features. Its great on paper, but it falls short in the looks department,,, except for those who never liked vettes and had poor taste when it comes to design,, A lot of people I work with that hated the classic vettes are on this new one like stink on that car Redsun posted. Those were the same folks who really loved all the cladding of the pontiac trans ams. Quote
rotorhead Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Yay Subies! I've got a silver '03 WRX myself. Ten years later, and it still gives me a stupid grin every time I drive it. Evidently, I *do* need a turbo for the 40 mile daily commute through the mountains of PA. Speaking of Lutz, didn't he go to Fisker? I swear I read somewhere that he was trying to get them to use the c6 or even ZR1's engine in a Karma, along with some cleaning up of its' lines. Edited February 26, 2013 by rotorhead Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Nice outback Vifam7, it looks good. Pictures of the bugeye Rotorhead? I can never get enough pictures. Anyone has pictures of their rides? I have taken so many over the years, it is ridiculous. Cars & macross are my favorite subjects. Quote

I think he semi retired, but those guys are always doing something,,, id love a turbo car,,, I just have a commuter HHR manual as I had to trade in my fusion because I blew 3rd gear out (common prob) Quote
