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

Slammed Beetle is not love.

 

:P

Everyone has their own taste (I'm not very fond of Mustangs :o ). I think Bugs are one of the only cars that look good slammed. It's that rat rod-esque look. I think it really works.

Something slammed has absolutely no point of existing because you can't enjoy it.

My family used to have a little Beetle. It was yellowish-green and wasn't super reliable  :lol:

Don't remember much about it though.

They're all *most likely* on bags, calm down :P

 

Again, I usually don't like slammed cars (like, at all), but the Bettle pulls it off

Agreed. I've never liked camber or slammed anything, but if its on bags then hell yeah. I'd love to get an old impala or something and make it jump just as a project car or something. That would be hella fun.

Do it!

 

Then you can enter in those Mexican hydraulic fighting rings!

0-100mph in less than 5 seconds? You sure? That's like supercar territory

Or did you mean from some other speed? (like 99mph? :P:P )

0-100 at under 5 mins puts me at the same tier as all those cars... :)

Nissan GTR in swedish police livery

Never owned by the swedish police. Some guy just got it done up in this way

I'd say this is a step above driving a gray crown vic to mess with people.

I saw a 370z Nismo today.

Close to a GTR.... :P

Amazing that the VQ has been around for so long (more than 20 years). Seems like such a relatively modern engine

 

If my engine has *basically* the same engine as in the Fairlady and Skyline JGTC race cars, does that mean I have a Skyline? :P:D

It has changed quite a bit over time though.

One dream, one soul, one prize, One goal, one golden glance of what should be, It's a kind of magic.
