I will always have a soft spot for the AM db9

sure it's not as flamboyant or ostentatious as ferrari and lambo flabours of the week,

but it has that certain timeless class that stands the test of time

I think the AM DBS is the ultimate.......just classy as hell......

as much I love V12s and Vantage, they shouldn't do the V12 vantage.........AM seems to have that classy cruiser supercar image going, not hard core sports car, the V12 vantage seems so out of place.

The DBS and DB9 are just that... classy.

They wanted more power in a lighter/more compact chassis; therefore V12 into Vantage. However I think they missed the point because the V12 Vantage is only 15kgs lighter than the V12 DBS.

I knew the zonda r reminded me of something. must be where they got the pinstripe idea. This is the coolest car EVER.

I heard its going to be in the new fast n furious movie driven by VIN, P.Walker is going to be racing him in the general lee, Hasselhoof is making a comeback with K.I.T.T (The perfect car when hes too drunk to drive) .The original Elenoar? Will be thrown in for the sideways action. Of course it doesnt matter how fast any of them are because at the end of the show Lindsay Lohan is gunna beat em all in Herbie

Hi.

The car which will out perform and outbrake and more importantly costs a lot less than the "pretty" cars shown so far is the Ultima. What a weapon for the price.

Hi.

Thanks for the post. Too bad we're not talking about fast cars, but good looking cars. If we have a look at the original post:

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

it's got nothing to do with how fast it goes.

My bad. I thought they stopped doing them in the late 90s.

The FD RX-7 would also be pretty much the top of my list, especially since we're not considering the interior.

Ok so the batmobile was last century , but then i remembered this little gem from 2005. It is only a concept car but it does exsist

And from the backholden-efigy-side-rear.jpg

Doesn't anyone like curves anymore, the Bugatti Veyron is up there but a bit too bland and the grill looks like a doggy door...

I'd start a thread for the worst car design of this century, but there's no point as we all know its going to be the entire Ssanyong range.

I'd like to see you start it Alan, just so I can contribute with an 'insane' Megane.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
