Lamborghini Diablo SV by Office-K (May 14, 2013) These guys are giving mansory a run for their money on this one.
SSC Tuatara Coming This Winter (May 05, 2013) Love everything about this car except the way they brought the exhaust out the back. I'm sure it's all about aerodynamics but it looks awkward to me.
Authorities Investigating Dodge Viper (May 01, 2013) They are looking at a car that's 8yrs old and one built to be beat on.
Top 5 Tuned F12 Berlinettas (Apr 20, 2013) Makes me wonder if mansory is better at "tuning" cars or ruining them.
Veyron SS Stripped of its 'Fastest' Title (Apr 07, 2013) How can anyone knock the venom for its interior and complement the veyron. It's twice the price! For the price of the SS you could buy the venom and an Maybach if luxury is a concern. He'll throw in GT3 for a dd.
Veyron SS Stripped of its 'Fastest' Title (Apr 07, 2013) The tires can't handle the speed on the veyron because it weighs as much a small building. Also because it takes it a long distance to get the SS up to 250+
Veyron SS Stripped of its 'Fastest' Title (Apr 07, 2013) #paul I couldn't have said it any better. Hennessy did an interview and admitted that the front clip doors and dashboard are donors. Every single piece beyond that was in house. Again the venom is half the price and clearly has more speed in it.
Veyron SS Stripped of its 'Fastest' Title (Apr 07, 2013) The veyron took more distance to achieve 267 and you can also buy two venoms for the price of an SS. It is what it is the venom is king for the moment.
Top 5 Super Sedans in New York (Apr 04, 2013) I read there is a good chance it could be a hybrid. And have a version of the fa20 downsized to a 1.6 single turbo. Not sure how the hybrid works but something in conjunction with the turbo itself. Sounds very un-tuner friendly.
Gumpert Planning New Models (Mar 11, 2013) Me too. Could never understand why a lot of people think this is ugly?
Top 5 Geneva Supercars (Mar 07, 2013) There's probably a few cars tat could take a run at the veyron but VW is never gonna let that happen.
Porsche Releases 911 GT3 in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) It's like they ripped the soul out of the this car. Looks awesome tho.
Pagani Reveals Huayra's New Stereo (Mar 05, 2013) A decent sound system is definitely a good thing but how could you not want to hear that engine instead.
SRT Viper ACR Coming in 2014 (Feb 24, 2013) Fiat would have to be crazy not to make a new ACR
Worst Veyron Replica Ever? (Feb 13, 2013) On the bright side it looks better than a stock swift.
Ferrari Enzo Goes Rallying (Feb 12, 2013) Perfect example of drive it like you stole it.
McLaren P1 Opens its Doors (Feb 12, 2013) I really hope you can remove those pads.
Mr Bean's Mangled F1 Cost £1m to Repair (Feb 09, 2013) David I know him as mr bean. I never said anything about other things he's done. So how am I ignorant. Look what he did to this car because that's what I'm talking about. Way to make it personal.
Mr Bean's Mangled F1 Cost £1m to Repair (Feb 09, 2013) Jealousy? Damn right I am. This jack ass has had the privilege to drive let alone crash an F1 twice. Anyone with enough money can go be a weekend racer. Doesn't make you a pro. I'd hate on anyone that just wrecked this car. Especially Mr.Bean!
Mr Bean's Mangled F1 Cost £1m to Repair (Feb 09, 2013) He's wealthy so he gets to be a gear head but he got that way acting like an idiot. He transforms into mr.Bean when he gets behind the wheel of amazing cars.
Mr Bean's Mangled F1 Cost £1m to Repair (Feb 09, 2013) How can you say he's a good driver when this is the second time the moron has wrecked it?
911 Turbo Cabrio by GMP Performance (Feb 09, 2013) What are you supposed to comment on a picture of the wheels? They do suite the car perfectly imop.
911 Turbo Cabrio by GMP Performance (Feb 09, 2013) Usually hate the cabrio but they did a great job and this thing is flawless.
Rare Lambo Wrecked When Racing RC Helicopters (Feb 03, 2013) Gonna have to sell a bunch of those helicopters to pay for this one.
Bugatti Gangloff Concept Inspired by Type 57 Atalante (Jan 27, 2013) Reminds me of a Weismann but I love this.
Updated 370Z Nismo Unveiled (Jan 26, 2013) Good chance it's gonna cost a bit more than its worth.
Top 5 1000-HP Supercars (Jan 25, 2013) Not sure how you can consider this just a tune job? There's barely any lotus left.
Matt Farah Joins Venom GT on World Record Run (Jan 22, 2013) All those European cars are all great. Most of them are not legal in the states. This monster is. It's insanely expensive but if I had the means this would be my 7 figure choice. Luxury belongs in a Bentley. Not a monster.
Matt Farah Joins Venom GT on World Record Run (Jan 22, 2013) How is it a kit car?
Top 5 F1-Derived Supercars (Jan 22, 2013) Holy shit! i got it in GT5. I had no idea this was a real car.
Gemballa Returns with 911 Cabrio (Jan 13, 2013) I did read the article. My point was its not a one off. They did all their design studies on it. So they can just make them now.
Pagani Huayra vs Ferrari F12 on the Track (Jan 12, 2013) I'd have to go with the huayra myself. But that things transmission sound extremely clunky from a stop. Wouldn't expect that for 7figures.
Gemballa Returns with 911 Cabrio (Jan 12, 2013) I can't understand how a body kit can cost 26 grand?
McLaren 12C by MSO in Verde Ithica (Jan 10, 2013) I love this car but have to agree this color isn't working for it.
Corvette Z06 Drifts on a Frozen Lake (Jan 10, 2013) I've been in a 11' Z06 and second and third gear are amazing. I know there is much faster cars but I really can't imagine how much faster you wanna go in a street car. Interior was pretty nice. Seats are inadequate for the car tho.
Top 5 Tuned GT-Rs (Jan 10, 2013) Some real tuning right there?
DRT: Ford GT vs Nissan GT-R (Jan 09, 2013) Pretty sure it's safe to say you're not gonna see to many in Philly.
Top 5 New Supercars of 2012 (Dec 31, 2012) Just to nit pick those rims don't really fit the car to well. Car is beautiful no doubt but they look very Kia esq.
Tug of War: Duramax vs Touareg (Dec 30, 2012) Three words. Center of gravity. If that Chevy was off the show room floor instead of covered in aftermarket crap. It would have ended differently.
Aventador Gets New Vellano Rims (Dec 30, 2012) They took a nearly perfect looking car and took a step back. Rims probably work well on other cars. Just not this.
Famous for Catching Fire: Pontiac Fiero (Dec 25, 2012) There is no limits to what car lovers will put effort into. Still why?
5 High-Performance Police Cars (Dec 21, 2012) You know damn well this thing is sitting in the capt/lieutenants drive way.
5 High-Performance Police Cars (Dec 21, 2012) The police deserve respect any way. But it'll be tough getting it in this monstrosity.
Leno's 1928 Bugatti Type 37A (Dec 21, 2012) Nice to see its actually being driven.
Ferrari Quattroporte Concept Expertly Rendered (Dec 21, 2012) Seeing a Ferrari with suicide doors would be a little odd. Sure it would never make it to production tho.
Ferrari Quattroporte Concept Expertly Rendered (Dec 21, 2012) I would like to see them get away from that wire grill.
Mazzanti Evantra Speeds Toward Production (Dec 18, 2012) This looks like something Gumpert would put out.
Audi Targets McLaren with Diesel Supercar (Dec 16, 2012) That's a great looking car.
Japanese Tuning Icons Part 2: Mitsubishi Eclipse (Dec 11, 2012) I also think that an eclipse model gst or gsx could hurt Evo sales quite a bit.
Japanese Tuning Icons Part 2: Mitsubishi Eclipse (Dec 11, 2012) This is where the eclipse took a nose dive in booth design and more importantly performance.
5 Tiptop Audi R8 Tune Jobs (Nov 20, 2012) This thing is mean
Aventador Roadster Pops its Top (Nov 12, 2012) That's bad ass.
911 Attack by Anibal Automotive (Nov 08, 2012) Car was going well till the back. Way to busy.
Guy Fieri's Collector Edition 427 Corvette (Nov 06, 2012) Wish it was a different color stripe
Porsche 911 by Caractere Exclusive (Nov 06, 2012) Love the car but I am having trouble with that rocker panel going up the wheel arch. Not sure if they meant it to mock the turbos inlet?
Nashville Cars & Coffee Season Finale (Nov 05, 2012) And coffee cups?
Porsche 911 GT2 RS Muscle Play by Wimmer RS (Oct 25, 2012) Yea I know and I love the interior. My problem is the fact they wrapped the car in baby blue. Re-built just about everything and left the red interior untouched.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS Muscle Play by Wimmer RS (Oct 25, 2012) At least that spoiler is completely functional.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS Muscle Play by Wimmer RS (Oct 25, 2012) All the sudden the baby blue stopped working for me!
Porsche 911 GT2 RS Muscle Play by Wimmer RS (Oct 25, 2012) Agreed. I could even do with the baby blue color paint/wrap. The stickers are ridiculous. Still love this car.
2015 Mustang to Pack Turbo Four? (Oct 21, 2012) I think I could like the styling more if I didn't know it was intended to be a mustang.
Subaru BRZ Club Racer by PBMS (Oct 21, 2012) That interior looks legit.
Mercedes SL Black Edition by Prior (Oct 20, 2012) Gotta love the way the rims look with such an offset.
Porsche Announces Platinum Edition Panamera (Oct 20, 2012) I'd have to agree. Something about this car just doesn't look right. From the c-pilar to the back window.
2012 Miami Festival of Speed (Oct 17, 2012) Not too sure about those rims but love that car.
Bugatti EB110SS Burns Through Farmland (Oct 14, 2012) Gotta say for myself it's much better looking than the veyron.
Mystery Audi R8 Spied at the Ring (Oct 10, 2012) This is one of the best looking examples of the R8 so far.
Nissan GT-R Goes Airborne (Oct 02, 2012) It's an intense video of a car parked waiting for friends.
Performance AWD: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (Oct 01, 2012) I have an 06 wrx it's what I could afford. I love the car like my child. But in all out performance the Evo with its iron block" I think it still has" is easier to strap upgrades on get gain big numbers. Subarus are more temperamental.
Presenting the Women of Paris 2012 (Sep 29, 2012) The one on the left kinda looks like she a few to many.
Unique of the Week: 2002 RUF VW Beetle Turbo S Concept (Sep 29, 2012) Questioning this owners sanity. Spending that kind of money on this car and with the end result being this. He must be crazy.
Schumacher's 1998 Ferrari F300 up for Auction (Sep 24, 2012) Not a chance in America.
New Porsche GT3 Spotted Naked in Spain (Sep 24, 2012) This bumper doesn't look right
Non-Italian Exotics: Jaguar XJ220 (Sep 23, 2012) sure is. I don't know if its just people are getting re-sprayed or not but I see a lot of them with odd colors for such a limited car.
2015 SRT Barracuda Comes Into Focus (Sep 23, 2012) The front of the cobra is just straight mean. But never really liked from the fenders back.
2015 SRT Barracuda Comes Into Focus (Sep 23, 2012) I would have to say for myself this is the best looking rendition of all the retro models being done.
2015 SRT Barracuda Comes Into Focus (Sep 23, 2012) These are great all American monsters. Gotta love the shaker hood. Could do with out the luggage rack.
2,000hp Murcielago is World's Most Powerful Lambo (Sep 23, 2012) Those stacks are welded right to the exhaust side of the turbos
2,000hp Murcielago is World's Most Powerful Lambo (Sep 22, 2012) Just liked them on fb. They've got much better pictures of the engine. These stacks are kinda odd looking. But with the placement of their intercooler there is no room for any type of exhaust.
2,000hp Murcielago is World's Most Powerful Lambo (Sep 22, 2012) Never mind just saw more pictures those come right off of the exhaust side of the turbos.
2,000hp Murcielago is World's Most Powerful Lambo (Sep 22, 2012) Waste gate dump?
Unearthed: 1965 Superperformance 'Pete Brock' Shelby Daytona Coupe (Sep 22, 2012) This is such a treasure. Real or fake gotta be an amazing experience to beat on.
Honda UK Releases New Civic Ti (Sep 19, 2012) Resembles a Prius. That is not a good thing.
Honda UK Releases New Civic Ti (Sep 19, 2012) Couldn't agree more!
1,400hp GT-R Rip the Strip in 9 Secs (Sep 18, 2012) Looks great. Could use a better set of rims for off track use.
1,400hp GT-R Rip the Strip in 9 Secs (Sep 18, 2012) Not a lot of cars out there breaking 8's with full interior and creature comforts.
1,400hp GT-R Rip the Strip in 9 Secs (Sep 18, 2012) The guy said they added 300lbs to an already heavy car. Thing needs all that hp to drop into the 8's. Not sure how dude gets away with no roll cage. Break 10's at my englistown with no cage and your out.
BMW 1M by Best Cars and Bikes (Sep 18, 2012) They're necessary if it's a two or three piece rim. I'd prefer a solid black run myself.
Miata-based Catfish Speedster Coming to SEMA (Sep 18, 2012) @andrew I am wondering the same damn thing. I guess the lug nuts.
Lamborghini Aventador LP900 by DMC (Sep 18, 2012) Hell yeah. Probably sounds amazing wide open.
Lamborghini Aventador LP900 by DMC (Sep 18, 2012) The style of the rim is ok but it's the wrong color to color match wheels. I agree black of any type would look better.
Low Volume Retro: Ford GT (Sep 15, 2012) I have only seen one in person so this may be bias but the white with blue stripes look the best on this beast.
4 Ridiculous Veyron Crashes (Sep 15, 2012) @keanu I think your right about that now. The water the guy drove into was salt water and totalled the car?
4 Ridiculous Veyron Crashes (Sep 15, 2012) The driver of the veyron is some rich guy from Texas. He claimed he swerved because a bird flew at the car. If I remember correctly. Still can't see the bird!
Office-K Supercar Meet in Tokyo (Sep 14, 2012) I'll never understand what their problem is with the Mercedes emblem.
Low Volume Retro: New Stratos (Sep 13, 2012) That is an insane amount of money for this car. There in pagani-konegssig territory for that price. No brainer for me.
Peugeot Releases Onyx Concept Ahead of Paris Debut (Sep 12, 2012) Love the front. Hate the back.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Pur Blanc Edition (Sep 11, 2012) I can finally say after all the years in production that I like the way a veyron looks.
McLaren to Give MP4-12C a Facelift (Sep 10, 2012) Looks great. Hard car to improve on but they did.
Sesto Elemento Sounds Brutal (Sep 09, 2012) Really looking forward to hearing this thing wide open on a track.
