buddy your opinions on how people look here( except the girl) are not wanted, anyways i wont begin a flame war here because thats not the objective of the thread.

i'd take the GT-40 and Corvette. nice pics though...

OldBuzzard · Feb 20, 2005, 07:28 AM

another-user, you need to take a look at this page: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/motora.../primary.shtml

Corvettes didn't have hidden headlights until 1963. The 53-62's were exposed.

As far as I'm concerned, 62 was the last year that they made corvettes that were truly sport cars. Anything after that has to be classed as either a muscle car or a sport tourer.

Lowfat · Feb 20, 2005, 07:31 AM

i want an STS-v. that is one ubersexy car.

and the STi is a great performing car. However i would never purchase one. It has the stiffest clutch i have ever seen in a car. Shift anywhere over 5K and it slams you into the seat.. However it is quite fast, and handles like a dream.

Dark Lord · Feb 20, 2005, 07:34 AM

i..... damn it.... i dont know how i ever forgot about those first ones not haveing hidden headlights.

as for what corvettes are classified as, i dont care. i love my 1969 stingray.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 20, 2005, 06:20 PM

Senor_Mota · Feb 20, 2005, 08:39 PM

Really looking forward to the Ford GT this year...DAMN!!!

Plus, Toyota is supposedly re-releasing the Supra in September...

drakesteakn · Feb 20, 2005, 09:15 PM

pr0digal jenius · Feb 20, 2005, 09:18 PM

wrong link of the front of the BMW 7.....looks like you posted the GT40 again

but very nice stuff. I don't much care for the new corvette's headlights, or the whol "Bentley/Rolls" scene, but yes...I will take a GT40 or a Nismo Z

yea it might be coming, theres a lexus using a similar chasis called the lf-a concept. i dont know the body looks riduculously similar to the new supra which boasts to have 500 hp from a 5.0L VVTI compression engine

pr0digal jenius · Feb 20, 2005, 10:20 PM

Also, the new Lexus IS300 is getting a V8 dumped in it

And the new dodge charger is SUPPOSEDLY on the slate for 2006

no the charger should be here by the later part of 2005, i never heard of the is300 getting a v8. personally im not a fan of the is300, its overpriced, tiny and the inside looks more complex than it really is. id rather drive fully loaded altima se-r or accord ex (which i do) that have better interiors. toyota is good quality and good price, but i still find hondas and acuras far more competitively priced and hondas have better designs (not comparing lexus to acura on that, they are quite distinct)

i sat in the STS, it wasnt what i was hoping for thought but it was prolly one of those ones without the GPS on it, and they had the the new DTS on display couldnt see the inside but outside generally looked the same with different headlights and rear lights, kinda like a shift for the corvette.

Dark Lord · Feb 21, 2005, 12:03 AM

i just got back from the chicago autoshow this afternoon, was fun as hell.
unfortunatly i didnt have a digital camera with me, so no pics from that.

i walked by the new International's when i was there, they make a full size Hummer seem tiny. i dont know who would ever even think about getting one of those things unless you were hauling some huge stuff all the time.

i saw the new Charger up close this afternoon when i was there and i must say its not worthy of the title. really it just looks like i modified Chrysler 300, it in no ways even resembles the old chargers.

they had a small muscle car showing there in one of the back areas. had the GT500 from Gone in 60 seconds there. also had the prototype for the GT500 there.

back in Chevy's section they had a 1967 Camaro Pace Car up on a flatbed trailer. god i want that car.

all in all i thought the chicago show was pretty good, just sucked for how crowded it got.

pr0digal jenius · Feb 21, 2005, 02:22 AM

Don't we all want a 67 Camaro?

(girlfriend's dad has one

)

too much gas man, i couldnt ever maintain that. i like american cars but my 2 problems with the cars of today

1. terrible compression for most american cars
2. interior on them looks flat and a poor attempt to make it look interesting. they lack the silver accents and shape and style of the buttons which japanese and european cars are better at.

the camaro is deadly but i do not want a gasaholic

BWX · Feb 21, 2005, 02:34 AM

I'd rather have a 69...

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 21, 2005, 02:37 AM

i like the new vette though, i dont mind the lights are gone. no cars today use them, it was kind of a 80s/early 90s style. but it wasnt something not stylish. so if they stayed it would of been COOLER, but i wont flame GM for gettin rid of it. the back does look very solid and the z06 was nutty

Yer tellin me....$25-30 dollars a week in gas sucks

Dark Lord · Feb 21, 2005, 02:56 AM

god i know. my corvettes a gas hog. does MAYBE 12MPG on premium and takes a lead additive.

as for the fancy interior, i dont care about that. its built to go fast as hell, not be a luxury vehicle.

my vettes intierior is just a bare bones set up in there. heat, AC (some times, it was an option back then) speedometer and tach, normal engine read outs, and an AM/FM radio. thats it. nothing shiny, nothing addition, just the bare minimum with a very conservative look. the car IS 36 years old.... but it still it was just built to go like hell.

Asmoday · Feb 21, 2005, 03:00 AM

Very cool cars pimpsta, i espacially liked the GT40

i was gonna laugh, but i remembered thats USD lol. i pay more on my accord in CDN. ridiculous prices, i remember my dad fillin up our old 2.2L accord ex-r (EX in the states) for under 20 bucks! but i will pay that much when i get performance like a viper or gt40, no argument there.

also notice on american cars, the buttons on the center console always have big open gaps of black flat areas. japanese cars fill this up with ridges and contours, it makes more sense and looks more fancy. i almost got into a 5-series and but 2 punkasses stayed in there since the GPS and everything else was active
