areaseven Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Over a year ago, Ford released a special edition Mustang GT to pay tribute to the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels. Now they have one to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Air Force's Thunderbirds. This Mustang GT with a glass roof and custom body kit is the first unit to be produced for the 2014 model year and will be auctioned for charity at AirVenture Oshkosh 2013. The proceeds will go to Experimental Aircraft Association's Young Eagles organization, which provides free flights to aspiring young pilots. 2014 U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Edition Ford Mustang GT Quote

KH355hamdi Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Got my first 100+mph speeding ticket (in my Z06) today out in the middle of nowhere on a 2 lane road with no side roads coming on to it for like 2 miles. Nobody around EXCEPT the one Sheriff who clocked me at 100....in a 45..LOL....that 's gonna sting a bit I'm afraid! Should have bought a good radar detector instead of that Yamato VF-4!!! Got mine a week apart in the same place. Didn't know they did the speed trap outside their usual hours from 10 am to 2.30 pm. The place has a 30mph speed limit which is just outside the palace. First I did was 40mph and the second was 60mph. It was in the NSX. The second one when I got caught another car a BMW M5 was also stopped. Quote

areaseven Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Novitec takes a Lamborghini Aventador and takes it to 11. The Novitec Torado Lamborghini Aventador sports a new body kit and interior trim in carbon fiber. Under the hood, the V12 is tuned and re-mapped to generate 700 bhp. Novitec is currently developing a Bi-compressor engine that does up to 1,000 bhp. 2013 Novitec Torado Lamborghini Aventador Quote
Agent ONE Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Thats the last car in the world that needs a bodykit. Quote
Beltane70 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Thats the last car in the world that needs a bodykit. I agree! The Aventador is perfect as is. I think that I'm in the minority that prefers cars looking the way the manufacturer designed it. Quote
reddsun1 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 As over-the-top as that is--even by Lambo standards--it's still not as bad as the Egoista. Subjectively speaking, I find this one very displeasing. Quote

Atharun Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Maybe it is just me but when I see some of these companies customizing super cars I always find myself asking why. At a certain point are you really going to feel an extra 100 hp when your car is already pushing 600 hp+ and the car already goes well over 200 mph? Does 212 mph really feel that much different from 202 in a car? As dumb as this sounds I tend to like the factory designs on cars far more often then customized versions of these super cars. Quote
areaseven Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Here's another look at the car that should have been put into production. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 They ruined a Lambo. Ricing out ANY car is bad. It's just so much worse when it's ACTUALLY a good-looking high-performance car to start with. Now it actually looks like a cheaper car a teenager may own. Just needs a few more stickers to be truly highschool-ish. Quote

derex3592 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I kinda like the Aventador body kit add on. I think it's very close to what the eventual end of line Aventador might look like. Kinda like the Murcialego looked at the end in the LP-640 SV dress up. Quote
reddsun1 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 There are some bespoke cars out there that are certainly more quintessentially "Italian," like the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta, which was inspired by another one-off Ferrari, from the "Toby Dammit" film... now that's a sexy car... Quote
areaseven Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) The Italdesign Giugiaro Parcour Concept is like other recent homages to the legendary Lancia Stratos - except that it can actually go off-road. Its body is made of carbon fiber and aluminum panels, and it is powered by a 550 bhp Lamborghini Gallardo V10 engine mated to the Audi R8 V10's 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. 2013 Italdesign Giugiaro Parcour Concept 2013 Italdesign Giugiaro Parcour Roadster Concept Edited August 2, 2013 by areaseven Quote
reddsun1 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I like the New Lancia Stratos custom much better. IIRC, it's based on a Ferrari 430(?) chassis, so it should be quite a capable performer... Quote
areaseven Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby may be a work of fiction, but a couple of real-life incidents at Talladega Superspeedway mirrored the film. At the 2009 Aaron's 499 race, Carl Edwards crashed violently on the final lap. Edwards got out of his wrecked car and jogged to the finish line, just as Ricky Bobby and Jean Girard did in the film's final race. In 2012, Kurt Busch struggled with little or no sponsorship in his team after having left Penske Racing. So at the 2012 Aaron's 499 race, Busch's car sported the familiar colors of Ricky Bobby's "ME" car, complete with the cougar on the hood. Quote
