Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I really don't like the Italians way of doing special editions. Mainly because there are so damn many of them. 

 

Zonda? :P

Pagani are some of the worst ones that are doing it.

I mean, people like Koenigsegg are doing it some some extent as well. But not anywhere near as bad as Pagani.

Speaking of Ageras, the best looking one is the normal one IMHO

There are what? Four different Agera's? Then the One:1. And then the really special One of 1. They just don't 20+ different models of the same car.

Christian have said that they really are trying to stick to the limited numbers that they mention when showing off the cars. So that they don't have to produce dozen different special editions.

I actually really like the looks of the Agera RS. And the Regera is very pretty as well, but there is just something about the rear of that car that I don't like.

Dad is now the happiest man on earth! I gave him a set of keys for the Dart (it is still mine but he can use it whenever he wants to) and i asked him if he had forgotten how to drive a dart (as a joke) and then burnouts happened. (His Dart was a bored 318 with an automatic transmission, mine is a stroker 440 with a manual, i think he aproves of the 440 + manual)

 

 

Ps: conciddering a paxton kit for my 440 (internals + supercharger thingy, should be good for 600-700hp)

 

 

EDIT: product number for the kit im conciddering: 1201860-P (costs 4061 usd)

I just found out that i can buy headers for my car that end just behind the Front wheels (no more exhaust after that) but the Dart will end up being my daily soon so not sure if ditching a soundsystem and getting headers or just ditching a soundsystem and listening to the melody of a 440 with a stock exhaust?

technically they only made 4 zonda special editions. The one offs are not considered special editions. How ever i will admit that they said they would stop making zondas long before they actually stopped.
