Aventador Moonlights as School Bus(Mar 28, 2013)Agree with you here Lou, but better to make a production out of it than not do it at all.👍
Next-Gen Volvo XC90 Spied(Mar 21, 2013)Haha @gray if you took a ride in my car I guarantee you'd feel differently
SRT Viper TA Seeks Redemption(Mar 20, 2013)Haha lmao at the last line. MT: "corvette, what you got?!" Corvette: " uuhh well we just released a completely new model..so..there's that."
LaFerrari Debuts in Geneva(Mar 05, 2013)Haha @brenton it's not the v12 they don't like, its an instant 160hp boost that makes people uneasy.
Koenigsegg Dissects its Heart(Feb 28, 2013)My vote goes to either the BLT edition or the "flash green" agera that resembles the limited paint option of the 2004 Volvo s60/v70 R. The latter being extremely difficult to find pictures of, but I think exists somewhere on koenigsegg's website.
Did Pagani Cheat on Top Gear?(Feb 28, 2013)I think it would depend on shutter speed. Regardless, the picture would likely show the Pirelli logo, if it were there.
The Brain Inside a Koenigsegg(Feb 15, 2013)Yeah the koenigsegg isn't as fancy as a pagani, but I like it more. My guess is that the agera would smoke a huayra around the track.
Jay Leno Samples Polestar S60 Concept(Jan 22, 2013)This thing is so freakin rad, and it sounds almost exactly like my s60R! It's a shame that Volvo will never put this into production.😔
Take that Europe: Venom GT's World Record Revealed(Jan 21, 2013)I can't argue that koenigsegg motors aren't influenced by ford technologies, but I can maintain that koenigsegg has been building their own motors for over 7 years now.
Take that Europe: Venom GT's World Record Revealed(Jan 21, 2013)@william the agera's motor is actually the second to be developed and built in house. The ccr used a 4.7Lsc ford modular v8, but the ccx (2006) used a 4.7L twin supercharged v8 manufactured by koenigsegg themselves.
Take that Europe: Venom GT's World Record Revealed(Jan 21, 2013)@skyler @johnny c'mon guys, not even the ccx used a ford engine. Koenigsegg has been building their own engines for nearly a decade. If you don't know what your talking about, don't post!
First Vette C7 Confirmed for Auction(Jan 18, 2013)Who knows, maybe tomorrow it will be a three-legged wildebeest, but we'll have to wait and see.
First Vette C7 Confirmed for Auction(Jan 18, 2013)No people, it's a viper, California, 458, 599, Cadillac elr, GTR, Camaro, Honda Civic, Audi/Lamborghini (whatever that means), LFA, Aston Martin Zagato, and 1986 Astro Van.
Is this the C7 Corvette Convertible?(Jan 17, 2013)Haha wow, so now it's a viper, Camaro, 599, and a 458...So considering it uses VVT, does that make it a Civic too?
Venom GT Breaks 0-186mph World Record(Jan 11, 2013)If I remember correctly, the 0-300 times were practically even between the agera R and old venom, with the agera having a slight advantage.
Matt Farah on the Volvo C30 Polestar(Jan 05, 2013)@jacob so would I. I love Volvo, but they seem to have a habit of cutting corners when it comes to their performance oriented products.
Matt Farah on the Volvo C30 Polestar(Jan 05, 2013)at 36k, they're putting themselves in M135i/rs3 territory. How are they supposed to compete with audi and bmw when their premium hatch is characterized by a mess of torque and understeer?
Matt Farah on the Volvo C30 Polestar(Jan 05, 2013)I don't mind the decrease in hp. The car is still quick, and you can always modify it to produce more. My biggest complaint is that they ditched the awd system.
Matt Farah on the Volvo C30 Polestar(Jan 05, 2013)It's fwd. The original one was awd. Why they couldn't slap a nice haldex awd system on this car is beyond me.
Ferraris Rev in Singapore(Dec 31, 2012)Awd has its advantages on the track. My guess is that 90% of us could get a better lap time in a gtr than in any viper or corvette...
Ferraris Rev in Singapore(Dec 31, 2012)The awd also helps to reduce traction loss from driver error. The American supercars can only be fast with an experienced driver who has the ability to minimize traction loss.
Ferraris Rev in Singapore(Dec 31, 2012)Awd may add weight, but it can also help maintain speed while cornering. The gtr is a quick track car because it has a state of the art awd system that helps it accelerate out of corners.
Ferraris Rev in Singapore(Dec 31, 2012)@jack how is a front engine layout bad for the track? Are the viper, lfa, zr1, gtr, f12 berlinetta, sls/slr all at a disadvantage? I don't think so.
Top 5 Nissan Juke-R Videos(Dec 29, 2012)You don't have to feel alone carbuzz, I love the juke-R as much as you do.
Forza Horizon Gets New DLC Packs(Dec 27, 2012)I didn't realize these things only had 300 horsepower. My buddy had one in high school and it was extremely fast.
ZR1 Sets Laguna Seca Record(Dec 21, 2012)@zeus yes, and the ZR1 is making a sharp left in the first picture too. So that's just body roll? The ZR1 is more planted.
ZR1 Sets Laguna Seca Record(Dec 20, 2012)There seems to be a particularly large wheel gap on this car. I thought they sat lower...
Google Exec Proves He's Got Dough(Dec 19, 2012)@greg I was thinking the same thing--It looks like a botched clear coat job. I'm sure it's just the angle or something though..
Volvo 850 T-5R Pickup Spotted in Belgium(Dec 11, 2012)Wow, this is so clean. They literally cut the original tail lights in half--how the hell do they still work?
Cars That Attract Women: Volvo C70(Dec 11, 2012)@aiden brilliant! I also have a 04 passion red R with viva chip, TME down pipe, custom 3" exhaust, bell fmic and aquamist to name a few. I have over 120k on it and it runs great! Truly an amazing car!
Cars That Attract Women: Volvo C70(Dec 11, 2012)@aiden with a few mods, my s60R pushes nearly 300 to the wheels--all 4, of course. None of these people know what volvos are capable of because they are true sleepers...why do you think they do so well in the STCC circuits?
Hennessey Previews 2013 Venom GT(Nov 26, 2012)@raschard correct. The venom uses the exige chassis, and a twin turbocharged LS2 engine made by Chevrolet.
Koenigsegg Develops New Agera S(Nov 26, 2012)Soo what's the deal with the license plate frame? I guess if your gonna slap one on an Agera you might as well go big...
New Lotus Esprit Nearly Production Ready(Nov 24, 2012)Specifically, the viper and z06 are faster around a track than virtually any other production car--one way of acknowledging this is by looking at production car lap records @ the nurburgring.
New Lotus Esprit Nearly Production Ready(Nov 24, 2012)@david we get your point, or at least I do, and in some ways I support it. However, your first comment sounded extremely uneducated... American manufacturers make some of the fastest track cars on the market.
5 Intriguing BRZ "vs." Videos(Aug 30, 2012)I'm confused. If Toyota & Subaru are independent companies, how can these cars be so alike? Did someone steal the technology?
Jethro Drives the Stelvio Pass in Ferrari 458 Spider(Aug 08, 2012)@walker are you sure your not thinking of the transfagarasan highway in Romania? They look similar, but this article is refering to the stelvio pass in Italy....
2013 Koenigsegg Agera Updates Revealed(Mar 05, 2012)The wheels are reminiscent of the "Titan" wheels that came on the 95' Volvo t5r and the "Pegasus" rims that came on the S60R. Probably not a coincidence... They all drive volvos.
