now this is a car:
http://www.astonmartin.com/html/images/vanquish_2.jpg the new Aston Martin Vanquish. Vanquish, according to the Oxford English Dictionary means, ‘to reduce to submission by superior force’, in other words to conquer, overpower or overwhelm. No better phrase sums up the new V12 Vanquish, the most sophisticated and technologically advanced new model ever to be designed and developed by Aston Martin. Built at Newport Pagnell, V12 Vanquish will become Aston Martins premier flagship model complementing the already well established DB7 Vantage models. Now that has put a smile on my face today!!! :) http://www.astonmartin.com/html/vanquish.html |
Wow, that is a sweet-ass car. I always thought the Viper was overrated anyway >;D~
|
Eh... I'd still take a Vette first. =)
|
Sexy is an understatement.
|
Isn't there something like a three year waiting list for that car at the moment??
|
give me a '65 chevelle or a '69 el camino anyday..
|

Poop. The only real good domestics are either Jeep branded, or Hummers.
My Sentra kicks. |
Pfft... You want a real ride? Here's what ya need...

YAY FOR ME! I can do a quarter mile in a couple of seconds and subsequently smash into a tree at the end of the street because my car's steering abilities are shit!
Sounds like a barrel of monkeys :rolleyes: I'm sorry, but that wussy street racing crap is useless without the handling to back it up... rally racing is where it's at. Skill of driver and quality of equipment play an equal role in rally. http://www.raindrop.com/subaru/impreza/wrc-big.jpg THAT, is real driving, my friend. |

ooh...scary...one G... I can pull that on my skateboard :p
Literally.. 1 G is no biggie :p:p |
Yeah, well not many street-legal cars can do that... The Viper can barely even do that.
|
Guess why? Because like the Vette, the Viper's main goal in life is to transfer as many horses as possible on the road.
My Sentra, on the other hand, was designed for handling, thus, I can pull 3G easy (I've taken it too a skid pad) I've also been a passenger in an Benz E320 on a skidpad... what a fun ride! 5G, believe it or not. Of course, it can't maintain that for very long before keeling over heavily on two wheels. |
|
Beauty in sheet metal.
|
RM, what are you smokin'?
There's no way a Sentra could pull that many g's... Unless you're talking about peak g-forces, in that case, maybe. The roadhandling rating for vehicles is determined by the average lateral acceleration of a vehicle during several trips around a 300-foot skidpad, not just the peak value. If we were talking about peak values, the Vette would easily be able to pull 7 or so g's... |
Hey man, I did it myself. I'm telling you, this little baby is a devil.
|
Let me guess... you tubbed out the wheel wells and put 15" wide tires and wheels on your l'il Sentra, huh? :D
|
Not yet :D
Honestly, I could not tell you why so many people buy Civics when the BASE Sentra is so fucking fantastic. Slightly weak on the uphills (only 126HP), but I've beat many Honda Preludes, and Acura Integras flat out. And there is no competition if there is heavy traffic, or any curves. |
|
classy:D
|
I have that car... 1/18 scale, of course :D
|
Here's an even better pic...
And yes, OnStar is cool. :) |
I think that car has more curves than my high school's cheerleading team. :D
