Are car designs going backwards or forwards?

Every car has a balance of straight lines and curved and a clay model can change your opinion with just a few scrapes here and there...

Symmetry? In your face? Sexxy?

So out of 10 and why? Whats the best design car so far this century?

Take into account a photo from 4 angles...

i) front

ii) side

iii) obliquely from front

iv) obliquely from rear

Yeh sure; some we hate but some we love.

Prototype designs accepted eh?

So we are only taking in to consideration looks?

From a design blueprint - yes.

We usually take pics of our cars from 4 angles to shed the best subjective feel. I'm ignoring any overhead shot...

Cheers

BTW - this century is only 8yrs old...........................

not many cars that are "the best looking design" award worthy in recent times............

James already mentioned most of them.

The F430 is definately one of them

So does this mean that our poor l'il ol' R35 GT-R Prototype misses out ???

SO SAD !

MMM

I have to say the last few models of Lamborghini Countach.... that car alone sparked my interest in cars in general, and I wanted one so bad I even considered getting a Fiero kit and doing the entire thing myself (Which is a big call cause I'm mechanically dyslexic)

From the outside, its still one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen. I STILL want one, in spite of all the drawbacks of owning one (and that particular list is long).... the interior is a huge disappointment, buf if you have a lamborghini then you generally have enough money to drop $40k on a custom interior ;P

Time hasnt been kind to the ol' countach but for simple raw sex appeal, its at the top.

Failing the Countach, the AC Shelby Cobra was always nice :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
