Here's a few pretty little automobiles I saw during my travels in the Côte d'Azur during my honeymoon.

There was so much money around, you could smell it! I was soooo in my element :mellow:

1. Porsche Carrera GT with Rolls Royce Phantom parked behind.

2. Maserati MC12.

3. Mercedes McLaren SLR. Oooooo I sooooo want one.

4. Carpark outside Monte Carlo Casino

5. Ford GT

6. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Mansory Stallone. 1 of not many. Supercharged 6.0L V12 with LOTS of carbon fiber and go fast bits.

7. Aston Martin DBS. Sounds so secksy.

Red HSV R8 Tourer with black plates [R8TOUR] trailing me off Dynon Rd. Wanted to race me at the lights next to BP Whitehall. I think this is the car that some motor mag used to do the R8 tourer review. Absolutely love that car - if only it came with as much cargo space as a Stagea....

HSV W427 at Monash Uni on Wednesday - those thing look so much meaner on the road than they did at the motor show!

I'm pretty sure I saw a silver Walkinshaw supercharged HSV Clubbie R8 last week in the city (or a good imitation). Had the bonnet scoops and what sounded like a supercharger whine.

For those who don't know what this is, google it. It blows the W427 out of the water, is done by reputable HSV-affiliated WP, and costs <100k. The only reason you would buy a W427 over this is as a collector's item, but seriously, I don't think it's worth 50k more (or will ever be in the future).

My next family car will be an R8 tourer with the WP treatment :down: Goodbye RS6!

Warning: This car might be better than sex

Saw this walking home from uni (Monash Caulfield) dont know the name of the road I walk everyday but it's straight under the bridge from the roundabout in the uni....things i would do just to sit in it

I don't know if it's real but if it's not the guy really pulled out all the stops to make a replica Shelby GT500 Super Snake IT'S HOT!

Hi there. This Mustang actually belongs to me and my father. Yes, it is a real Shelby SuperSnake and is currently the only one in Australia to be driven regularly. Good job on spotting it! Someone has finally posted pics of it been seen in public on the net :P

Is there any polite way to remind someone just what agricultural crap Aussie built cars are? And how inappropriate they are to mention in a Supercar thread?

Despite what the Mythbusters might think, you can't polish a turd.

My link to my photos from the Supercar Club QR Trackday. Enjoy. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/GTR...?albumview=grid

and how inappropriate they are to mention in a Supercar thread?

Geoff, i'm pretty sure the mandate for the thread is "things you don't see every day" and when they only sold less than 200 (i think) to see one actually being driven is quite a surprise. I'd have expected the majority to go into mothballs once bought.

An for a piece of "agricultural crap" the inside of a new Calais V is quite a nice tractor to be in.

seen this on Hallam-Pound Road intersection just before ;) wanted one of those so bad for a first car, seeing it today makes me want on even more now

Sorry, my knowledge of classic cars = fail. What exactly is it? A mustang of some sort, yeah?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
