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

While nice, I want a 442 more. It's just so good.

As a fellow 442 lover. *Hugs*

That stripe along the side is just perfect

 

Here are two of my favourite pieces of rolling americana in a dragrace

I want a matte black one with ghosted stripes^^ Mostly to match the exhaust sound. It sounds so evil :)

I heard one at a car show in Massachusetts. Good Lord it was loud and growled. It was beautiful.

442 is. Sorry but above a V8 the engine just whines instead of growls. :P

It's all a matter of opinion.

I prefer this in terms of v8's

I don't always like American muscle cars, but when I do,

I'm also quite a fan of the older American cars, like before the muscle car era. ~1950. The custom Mercurys and Fords are sweet. 

 

Rat rods are badass too

@techswede and @ this is what I mean about fake M5 wheels: http://almada.olx.pt/bmw-850ci-iid-436150081

As long as they aren't cheap replicas i don't mind them.

 

This is a cheap replica

Those look like XXR's

 

A friend of mine had a pair of XXR's on his WRX wagon. He was driving to school and hit a pothole @ ~40mph. Boom, wheel snapped. Wrapped the car around a telephone pole. Plus I've heard other countless horror stories of them snapping at track days. Makes me shudder

 

XXRs are kinda notorious for being really shitty wheel. They're just cheap, awfully made knockoffs of other wheels.

 

Just a heads up for everyone. Yes, they look good and they're really cheap, but there is a reason no one uses them in autocross. I cringe every time is see them on a car at a car meet, which is a lot. All those poor Miatas and Evos.. even saw an RS5 wearing XXR 533s. *shudder*

Wheels are the one component never to cheap out on IMO.

 

Friends don't let friends buy crappy wheels. Tell a brother. Spread the word. Too many people are using XXRs

Google "XXR 527". Look at all the cars with them. Evos, Prezzas, S2ks, Civics, RX7s, 300zxs, BRZs, Miatas, even Bimmers and Audis. Gah. make it stop.
