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

If you want to get anal retentive about it, its technically 7.75 years old.

My vote goes to the Lamborghini Reventon. Its the only car I can think of that wouldn't ever need a bodykit or wheels, and the overall shape as well as the small details are amazing.

If you want to get anal retentive about it, its technically 7.75 years old.

On that thought I agree with you.

And on that note of not having to put a body kit on a car would be the R35 GTR IMO.

To be fair, though, a Reventon is just a riced up Murcielago. I would agree with GTS-4 dreamer that a Gallardo is a better looking car than the regular Murcielago.

Since prototype designs are acceptable, I'd vote for the GT-R Proto over the production model. Holden's Efigy is also an amazing piece of work.

I reckon the Veyron looks horrible. It looks bloated, like its in a sumo suit. That Bugatti horseshoe front grille looks like it belongs on the front of an oldschool car that had long, narrow bodies with the wheels sticking out (like the ones Bugatti is famous for).

Veyron like a pirhana... effective, frightening... but UGLY!

I also like the FD RX7, but since we're talking THIS century I go budget conscious

(and prob very unpopular as it's not a sports car or rwd) and say

the new....... VW Scirocco.

Mmmm... exterior and interior... class! Just needs the RS4 V8!

Ferrari 458 Italia looking real sexy

Shit yeah. What a hottie.

As an aside I think the Ferrari California is leading my "worst car design this century" list though.

the new....... VW Scirocco

I didn't think much of these rebodied Golfs when I first saw them, but after seeing a few in the metal while I was in Europe I've changed my mind. They look great.

From a non-aesthetic perspective, I quite like the design of the Toyota iQ as well. It's cute, and it can carry 3 people in something with a tiny footprint. The perfect city car.

Edited by scathing

My vote would go towards the GT40. They have the history behind them, they have power, they look awesome and they are not like assholes where everyone has one. sure they arent the best car for handling etc, but there is no perfect car.

coming close second would be the Revention.

Ferraris. The F430 is gorgeous and the 360 was sweet too, plus the bonus of having the goods to back up the looks.

I loved Lambos when I was younger, was unimpressed when I actually rode in a Countach.

Oh and used to agree with Gallardos looking nicer than the Murcie, till I saw one in real life parked next to a Corolla. God damn they're small! Looked much better in photos!

And Astons are very sexy for a relatively simple design, so they'll age well.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
