It is damn awesome. Maybe it does look a bit out dated now, in comparison with all the new supercars, but i guess that's part of it's beauty - that 80's look.

Hmm...
Have you ever seen 120 Ferraris?
There was a Testarossa there I belive. As well as a 250 GTO! Or 288... I can't never seem to remember?

Well, to be honest, it's funny you should mention the Ferrari F40 as your favorite car.
I just happen to have it on film! =D

Damn, that is a nice lambo. I've always loved Lamborghini's, since i was like 8. The Countach was the one that made me like them so much.

I'm not even gonna say what i drive after seeing all those supercars XD

Why not? So what if somebody has a nicer car? I'll bet that most of those cars... the owners probably don't even know how to open the hood. I don't respect "Super" cars, or their drivers for that matter, any more then any other car on the road. Usually they're owned by super rich jerks, with more money then knowledge, so they just went out and bought something that's supposed to be fast.

This isn't to say that I wouldn't want to own a 911 RUF, or an Aston, but there are honestly quite a few cars I would rather put that money into instead. The only super car I would ever buy though would be a Pagani Zonda C-12S.

I don't even have my driving licence...
I'm french, and live in Paris. We have public transportations, therefore I don't see the direct use, yet.
I'll do that later! ^^

lol its not like anyone in this club is going to have supercars!!

87' 300zx :: sweet car, although i did have to look it up on google!! (i know the car just not the name!!)

I drive an Alfa Mito,great little car,i literally just upgraded from my 51 plate renault clio,great little car that was especially for a first timer.

Public transport is good if you live in big cities, like Paris or London, but it's good to have a nice drive every now and then.

Nice. The Mito is brand new right? Cost alot?

Well indeed, I just don't like seeing people get discouraged about their car is all. I go to a lot of car shows, and all of the stupid prejudice against different kinds of cars really pisses me off. The hierarchy usually goes:
Supercar>Vintage Sports>High End Sports>Muscle Car>Low End Sports>Hot Hatch>Sleeper
In case your wondering, here's an example of each.
Supercar- Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani, etc...

Vintage Sports- Basically the old versions of Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, etc... Like the old Porsche Spider bath tubs.

High End Sports- Current Porsches, Corvette (ZR1, Callaway, Z06), R35 Skyline. Basically any "Sports car" that cost's $70,000+

Muscle Car- Chevelle's, Camaro's, Mustang's, Willy's, Toreno's.

Low End Sports- The retro sports cars from the eighties. 84-88 300ZX, Mk-3 Supra, FC Rx-7's.

Hot Hatch - Honda Ek/Eg Hatch, 240Sx's, Pulsars, Celica's, Celica Supra's.

Sleeper- The family sedans that look like a grocery getter, but make 600 lb/ft at the wheels. Those cars that you see at a car show, and say, "What the hell is this doing here?" Then you realize it's a Ford Taurus Sho, or something.

Another way to put it would be by the number of cylinders:
12+>10>8>6>4
Obviously there are exceptions, but that's just how it seems. Well around here anyways, but this is a city fueled by over indulgence, greed, and gluttony.

Thank you. There is lots of information about it in my blogs on my userpage.

Ooh, I really like the GTA model from what I see. The other one looks a lot like most hatches coming out of Europe, and being that I don't know much about the Euro scene, I really have no place to say. The GTA is right up my alley though.

I like them both. I don't think the mito looks alot like most european hatches to be honest. I've seen a few of them driving around and they are aesthetically nicer than the majority.

That GTA does look hot though.

Well the Porsche Cayenne springs to mind. I guess it's just because it's a compact hot hatch. It's going to resemble most others, but I would probably like it more if I saw it in real life.

Porsche Cayanne? That's like a 4x4! The thing's huge. That's similar to the VW Toureg or the Audi Q7.

The Mito is really quite compact and small, more along the lines of the Renault Clio, Citroen C4, VW Golf etc...

How could you guys say you like ferraris yet fail to mention the '57 250 Testa rossa?!

btw, can I join?

I like Ferrari's but it don't mean I know every Ferrari ever made. I've never even seen that testarossa o_o

Looks awesome though.

To bad it costs thirteen MILLION dollars. (u.s.)

On an unrelated note, who likes those Lancia Stratos?

I didn't mean as far as size itself. I was speaking more of the lines.
Just look at this picture, and then scroll up to the other one.

Probably because it looks like a red Batmobile. : P

Sure, why not?

I always used to love the Lancia Delta. As square as they are they can look pretty nice.

I suppose it does a little bit. Is that a new model Cayanne?

So, how about that internal combustion engine then? Pretty nifty contraption if you ask me.

I really should come here more often, seeing as I was one of the first here. *sigh*

And I want Top Gear back on the telly, NOW.

that is also one of my fav cars of all time, a supercar for the dirt, and that paint job is one of the best of all time.

Oh and heres my car ; )

Man, there is SOOOO much I would love to do to that car.
The looks just grow on you. After I got used to it I couldn't help but think of all the body/paint work I would like to do.

lol. It is a sexy little thing. I would personally change the alloys though. I've never been a big fan of 3 spokes.

Imma throw something out there. Doesn't it make sense to put the drive where the engine (nearly all of the cars weight) is? E.G. Fwd in a front engine car, Rwd in a rear/mid engine car, and of corse all wheel drive is nice in any case.

What I want to focus on though is Fwd (Front engine obviously as well). I have been noticing that a fair amount of people criticize moding a Fwd, and argue that putting more power into a Rwd (Engine in front) would be better. Lets look at the advantages of Fwd cars: higher traction, faster acceleration, stronger gripping on turns, lighter (due less metal being extended to turn the wheels), and over a more efficient car. The disadvantage is a "pull" while accelerating instead of the "push" provided by Rwd. You see it all the time in 1/4 mile races, the Hot Hatch beats the mustang almost every time.

Oh and so far I'm liking how my Integra is coming out. I'm working on the aesthetics and upkeep first. I got 4 new sony explodes, Xenon Yellow after-market headlights, a Zinc-crested stainless steel cut-out grille (From Grillecraft), new wiring, new belts, and high-traction tires, doing all except the tires and belts myself. I plan on putting in some interior lighting (yellow of corse), cleaning under the bonnet entirely and painting the engine block yellow, painting the brakes yellow, do a little bit of gutting (took out the spare tire already and riped out rusty metal from the trunk), either installing a short-ram or a cold air intake, and Apexi-N1 exhaust. I'm keeping the rims stock (they are heavy enough and provide excellent acceleration and grip) and I am not making any more engine modifications, as I do not want to spend the dough nor lose the mpgs.

Sorry I wrote so much, but if ya got the time tell me what you think. Its a 1999 Acura Integra Ls 1.8L DOHC Non-Vtec automatic. I'll update with pictures after the grille arrives and I put it on.
