466336 2006-06-27 05:04:00 lol. Sorry about so much post. But it'll disconnect in 15mins co I can't stay that long so need to post more and talk about cars. My favourite old car are the muscles from 60-70s ones. Like 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS, Dodge Challenger and etc. just between those years. I like the new Shelby GT500 back on the road and same as Ford GT.:thumbs: Too cool.:cool: If you talk about what car I like. I would say anything Legend. Like Ford GT is a Legend who beaten Ferrari.

466338 2006-06-27 05:48:00 I like Lamborghini Murchielago too www.rsportscars.com But the cost the way too high. Although NZ didn't have tax for importing cars but road cost, insurance and fuel cost is the most concern. Lambo feed fuel like a hole in the water tank. It has AWD feature plus high tech suspension and others. Here's more info
The Lamborghini (www.rsportscars.com) Murcielago is 2-seater, 2-door coupe (with the now familiar gull-wing doors) based on the traditional Lamborghini layout: mid-mounted V12 engine (www.rsportscars.com), typical Lamborghini transmission with the gearbox mounted in front of the engine and the rear differential integrated into the engine unit, permanent four-wheel drive with central viscous coupler.

This layout, successfully employed by Lamborghini for more than 30 years, affords an optimal weight distribution (58% rear and 42% front) with conspicuous advantages for traction, braking and handling. The suspension design (independent double wishbones) represents the best possible solution for a high-performance GT and, again, is in keeping with Lamborghini tradition.

The external bodywork panels are made from carbon fiber, with the exception of the steel roof and door panels.

The rear of the Lamborghini Murcielago (www.rsportscars.com) features two "active" intakes for the engine cooling air. With the exclusive VACS (“Variable Air-flow Cooling System”), the aperture of these air intakes can be varied to suit the driving conditions. Furthermore, to ensure correct aerodynamic equilibrium at all speeds, the angle of the rear spoiler (www.rsportscars.com) can also be altered. According to the speed of the car, the rear spoiler can assume three different positions: closed from 0 to 80 mph, partially open (50°) between 80 and 140 mph and fully open (70°) above 140 mph. Depending on the aperture of the air intakes and the position of the rear spoiler, the car's Cx coefficient varies from a minimum of 0.33 to a maximum of 0.36. Bi-xenon headlights produce both main and dipped beams.

For the windscreen wiper, it was decided to adopt the proven single-arm pantograph design. This system increases the area swept by the wiper blade, thereby reducing blind spots in the visual field of the driver, and operates correctly at high speed without obstructing the driver's view when at rest.

The wing mirrors can be folded electrically and are mounted on long support arms so that the driver can see beyond the rear wings, which are especially prominent when the air intakes (www.rsportscars.com) are open. However, mirror stability is not compromised, even at high speeds.

466339 2006-06-27 08:13:00 Maybe this forum ppl are not interested in cars.:( Other forum topic about cars is so hot.:) MTLance (6768)
466340 2006-06-27 09:05:00 I vote for a Trabant tutaenui (1724)
466341 2006-06-27 09:10:00 I vote for a Trabant That was kinda nice classic car. MTLance (6768)
466342 2006-06-27 09:14:00 older than mass production?
Wel.....probably.
Although I'd have a 1928 Bentley, a 1932 Ford Coupe, an MGTD among others....

466343 2006-06-28 09:38:00 American Muscle can do some serious acceleration, I wonder how long they can last before catching fire. Super Exotics can go for quite a long time at very high RPM. And hitting more than 300-400km/h.:cool: That's why they are called super exotics. MTLance (6768)
466344 2006-06-28 10:16:00 What is a 'After Markets' class car? Andrew B (867)
466345 2006-06-28 10:51:00 Japanese Cars. And never classify them as super exotics like Honda NSX still consider after market. Evo 8, 9 etc. Subaru, Nissan etc. MTLance (6768)
