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

This is a fairly odd car. The 280zx. It isn't desperately pretty. But you'd remember it if you saw it on the street

 

 

It's a bit oddly shaped but still the same iconic look.

I loved the 300zx. It's much prettier than the Supra of the time

Just checked the reg number out. It is registered to a company xD

Legally that is a company car :lol:

Is it a company car maybe for the same reasons it would most likely be one in Finland? The reason being you can do some fucking around with taxes and pay less if you register it as a company car.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

I like both the 300zx and the celica/supra^^ If i had to choose i'd almost be forced to flip a coin

Probably.

My dad actually had one, and my god, was it so unreliable. It always kept breaking down on him.

Mercedes

Toyota

Volvo

Volkswagen

Damn i know there is one more but i can't remember right now

Spotted the local ferrari today. Also saw a 2010ish 5.0 sheriff mustang with aftermarket wheels. Would have taken a picture but I was driving right next to him.

Probably because the presenters are not clarkson hammond and may. But if you can see past that it is a pretty good show with new takes on the old challenges and most of their shows are just one big challenge which is awesome

Also i'm fairly sure we'll not see may do this

Why not a GT-R instead of an WRX? Makes 500HP stock and has 4WD, and it can make over 1000HP stock. Great car, though not cheap.

those are only the goals in terms of horsepower. If it is American it will do a wheelstand when i'm done. If it is European it will do a rolling burnout at 60-70mph and if it is Japanese it will drift well when I'm done.

Never been much of a fan of the gtr. It seems more like a hopped up 350z than a proper skyline successor.

Honestly I'm glad they're not Clarkson, Hammond, and May. They're not quite.. "British bland."

GTR is a boring vehicle. :|
