Browsing through the web, I came across some Viper photos and it brought back some memories. The Viper used to be my hero car of all times, I had two plastic models all painted and polished when I was a little kid because I was so obsessed with it.

What are your childhood hero cars?

A large Mercedes Benz Sedan (now the S class, used to be C class at that time I think...).

I first became interested in cars way back in primary school, and the person who got me interested in cars was my grandfather & the Mercedes was his favorite car.

So it was mine too at that time. (now its around 2nd-3nd place after the skylines, tied with the BMW 7xxs).

well my all time favourite car was a little known pommy car of the time

an old zephyr that Borneo's dad (Borneo with the ceffy in DA) had in my mums back yard that he used to race at Forrestfield and Wattle grove speedways here in Perth in the early 70's late 60's

mine was always and still is a nice slick black 67 corvette stigray, i wish i had one of those now....but when i was like 12 i started to like imports and fell in love with the 93 supra TT but that was just a phase and after owning one that had alot of problems i am very much over the supra and that is why i turned to the darkside and bought a skyline to piss all my mates that love their toyota's :)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
