Cars-We-Think-Are-Cool Threads are the New Cool Thing and not for whimps

[Mr Buckshot]

I would have to agree with Xet, even a car as "powerful" as a Toyota Camry would suffice as a cop car even in speedy situations. In fact the Camry probably is easier to control and is less likely than a Lambo to become scrap metal should it ever crash. I mean most of the U.S. and Canada use Ford Crown Vics that have very weak V8s (how the hell can it only get 250 hp with 4.6 liters) as cop cars.

And as long as you remember to turn on your siren, people are going to get out of your way to give you a clear path to put the pedal to the metal, so even if your 0-60 time is like 7 or 8 seconds, you'll have ample opportunity to reach such a speed.

Not exactly high performing, but it's cool:

I hope this comes to the U.S./Canada market.

[Xetsuei]

Just to let you know Xet, its possible to beat the speed camera.

Possible? You have to be going pretty fast, 170mph+ range.

On a side note, as quoted from Top Gear, "You first have to own an Alfa Romeo to be a petrolhead."

[Snowy]

Top gear is so much better than fifth gear.

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

[Xetsuei]

Fifth Gear is more factual, and is more about cars then challanges and other things Top Gear has. Top Gear is the way petrolheads feel about the cars, and is also much more entertaining.

This ain't no ordinary Vanquish, it's got missiles, auto-targeting hood-mounted shotguns, ejector seat, active camo, thermal imaging monitor, tires with retractable spikes, and of course shitloads of bulletproofing material.

http://magazin.autoscout24.de/gallery_new/items/ga_Neuheiten/ga_Vergleichstests/ga_Audi_S8_vs_BMW_760Li/001.jpg

No, Xetsuei, these are not run-of-the-mill cars. The one on the left has a W12 engine, the one on the right has a V12 engine. Both displace 6.0 liters and produce around 450 hp. Natural stuff too, no turbocharging crap. Basically, these are the few "practical" twelve-cylinder cars out there. TWELVE cylinders, man.

http://images.autocatch.com/boo130_251107_17-80x60.jpg - see this is a manly V12 engined vehicle.

The "V12" badge on the side of the BMW can be seen in this shot if you squint.

In Canada their prices exceed $150k, comes close to $190k with options (there aren't many options though, almost everything is standard on twelve-cylinder models).

[Xetsuei]

They may not be run of the mill, but they sure look like it.

[Mr Buckshot]

Well you see many of the luxury vehicles you describe as run-of-the-mill will have a high-performance variant that definitely doesn't fall into that category. Most BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi models are like that - the standard ones are fairly common but the special big-engine ones are considered exotic.

Btw, check out www.exoticspotter.com (http://www.exoticspotter.com) to see exotics spotted in your city.

I see Lotus... Lotusi? Lotuses? Lota?
Whatever, fuck the plural, I see them all the time around where my parents live.

[Mr Buckshot]

I see Lotus... Lotusi? Lotuses? Lota?
Whatever, fuck the plural, I see them all the time around where my parents live.

Lotuses aren't that expensive given their ultralight bodies, and low-displacement engines (which don't matter due to the light weight). I think the Elise goes for 61 grand in Canada, which is steep but certainly FAR more affordable than a Lamborghini's extreme six-figure price. The Lotus's Canadian price is only a few thousand higher than that of my Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Although Lotuses are powered by 1.8L or 2.2L engines, they get 0-60 times of under 5 seconds due to the aerodynamic shells and very light weight. Of course, they aren't as crash worthy as other sports cars...

Haha, I love the GTR too, but it's actually not really exotic, seen at least two a week in Vancouver. In Japan and Singapore I see lots of these beasts, actually I've seen more right-hand-drive than left-hand-drive models in my travels so far.

http://www.ssip.net/upload/bmw-z8-front-1_116.jpg

If you've seen The World Is Not Enough, you'll recognize this car. It's the rarest production BMW so far, have only seen ONE in Vancouver in 5 years, whereas pretty much all the other BMW models (except the high-performance variants) are common.

BMW Z8, has the same 4.9L V8 engine as the previous-gen E39 M5.

The German police use more practical but still overpowered and luxurious cars though.

Seriously, wtf.

E: And the Nissan GTR sucks. Main reason: It can't reach it's actual performance figures without turning traction control off and turning launch control on. I know, you're thinking "wtf so", well if you turn traction control off or turn launch control on it completely voids the car's warranty. I don't think they should be allowed to post those figures if turning those features off(traction)/on(launch control) voids the car's warranty. I have a number of other reasons why it sucks, but I'll leave it at that. And also Connor, the engine is not over 4 liters.

it looks to me like those are intended to be two entirely different cars, not two models of the same car.
Also, I would much, much rather have the second one. The first would probably be more fun to drive, but the second looks a lot nicer to me. Much more elegant.

[Mr Buckshot]

The SLR looks a bit Batmobile-ey from the front (not referring to the Tumbler).

They are not intended to be the same car. But, McLaren only makes one model of car at a time, and the SLR was a HUGE step down from the F1. The SLR was made after McLaren was bought by Mercedes.

I don't know what you mean by nicer, the F1 has all the fun stuff (GPS nav, phones, radio, 6 disk CD changer, surround sound system, leather seats, etc etc) and also has 3 seats instead of two. The F1 is also very small (smaller than a Toyota Prius), so you wouldn't be worried about bumping it on things, and parking is very easy. I don't know anyone in their right mind who would prefer an SLR over an F1.

Well, I'd also much rather drive a Subaru than a Lambo. The Lambo's undoubtedly cooler looking, but the Sub fits my image. That's what I'm talking about. That F1 just looks gaudy and ugly to me.

lol I think so too.

In the lower mainland of BC, teachers have great pay, they start from low-$80k per year, principals can make $120k or more in some schools. In my school, about 1/4 of the teachers drive nice cars like BMW, Mercedes - typically the unmarried ones though. Around $85k/year is quite enough for one single person to live a flashy life but when kids are factored in your spending priorities get tighter, the quality of the car becomes far less important as your salary has to provide for more people. Being a teacher is a good job anyway, just that it requires some personal qualities that I lack so I probably can't be a teacher.

Been arguing with Xet. It came out that he thinks the Bugatti Veyron is ugly. I'm sorry, I don't care if I get a warning for this: Somebody that retarded is not worth my time.

[Mr Buckshot]

I don't like the Bugatti Veyron either, but we're all entitled to our own opinions of cars.

A word on BMW, Mercedes, and Audi:
yeah most of them are run-of-the-mill cars, I see all of them every day in Vancouver except the Audi R8, Mercedes SLR, and BMW Z8, but these common ones tend to have special high performance variants that ain't run of the mill. Basically an exotic-car engine hidden inside a run-of-the-mill body.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/2007_BMW_Alpina_B7_E66_Sedan.jpg/800px-2007_BMW_Alpina_B7_E66_Sedan.jpg

BMW doesn't make an "M" version of its flagship 7-series saloon, but Alpina makes a modified 7-series (Alpina B7, only seen it twice in 5 years) with a supercharged 500-hp 4.4L V8 engine. Definitely not a common sight. This is the only Alpina-on-BMW model you'll see in North America, as the Alpina B5 would compete with BMW's own M5, the B3 with the M3, etc.

[Xetsuei]

I can sort of understand where you're coming from Buckshot. You like all the luxury and looks of the cars, and the surprise you get when you push down the petal because you have no idea of the monster lurking under the hood?

[Mr Buckshot]

I can sort of understand where you're coming from Buckshot. You like all the luxury and looks of the cars, and the surprise you get when you push down the petal because you have no idea of the monster lurking under the hood?

Exactly! See, I tend to favour these high-performance "discreet cars," my favorite being the BMW M5. So yeah on the outside it's the same as the regular 5-series, except for badging and some fiery decals, and the interior is quite similar too. But start the engine, step on the gas, and it's one hell of an experience.

Lexus has been following this trend too, but it doesn't appeal to you as they've been using hybrid systems to try to achieve the same effect. Yeah the combined hybrid output is definitely no slouch from these Lexus hybrids, but it's mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission and not a manual, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Audi's S5 coupe is also good. The A5 is run-of-the-mill in some places, but the S5 packs in a charged-up V8 to prove its brawn.

edit: This car made me like GM:

[Bodzilla]

how can you people not like the Veyron D:?

it's fucking menacing. it's not sposed to be a car of curves and pointy angles.
It's a mother fucking hi speed death machine.

seriously you could photo shop mutha fucking swords embedded in the Rims (like the roman chariot's) and it wouldnt look out of place.
It's a fucking mean machine.

[Xetsuei]

It's just plainly not designed well.

*The car is extremely heavy (4160lbs !).
*The engine is extremely large (8L W16), and has 4 turbos on it. Yet, it only outputs 987HP (No, not 1001HP, it outputs 1001PS which people mistake for HP) and 920 ft·lbf torque. So the engine is inefficient and doesn't convert fuel to power well. On the other hand, look at the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. It's engine is only a twin turbo 6.35 V8, and outputs 1287HP and 1112 ft·lbf torque.
*Because of it's inefficiency the engine gets hot, very hot. So hot the car has more radiators than most homes have. Again, bad designing.
*It's ugly. Good lord, what was Bugatti thinking?

So basically, it's just a brick with a huge engine. If you want a high speed death machine, you need to look at the McLaren F1. No power steering, no electronic assists, no ABS brakes, and it weighs only 2500lbs. Quoted from Jay Leno "Oh man, if you lose the thing you're screwed....you're incredibly screwed. So just don't lose it."

I disagree with 2/3 of the above statements.

The car is designed extremely well, otherwise it wouldn't be the fastest roadcar available. There's a reason for all the streamline on the body. As for the weight on the car, 2 tons is reasonable considering the horsepower it puts out.


I do, however, find the car ugly, but there is no arguing...it's a hell of a machine.

I agree Bugatti is pretty ugly, not ugliest car ever but its definitely not as eye pleasing as most other cars.

So, it manages to outperform most supercars while having a much more refined interior, having generally better reliability, and looking much more elegant and beautiful than they do.
In other words, most supercars are racecars and look the part, and yet the Veyron outperforms them without looking like it's straining to squeeze every last bit of performance out of modern technology, sacrificing looks and comfort along the way.
In other other words, the Veyron could perform even better if they pushed it even further like so many other supercars, but Bugatti instead decided they wanted to make a nice car.

I feel I have to elaborate on what I'm saying. Performance is nice. Performance is cool. Absurdly high performance supercars that push the limits and lose weight and drag at every opportunity are cool and beautiful in their own way. But the Veyron is in a different class of beauty altogether- it's classical, elegant, effortless beauty, built for the sake of itself more than for speed, and the fact that it performs as well as it does is nothing short of astonishing.

You're just so wrong it's not even funny. The fact they Veyron goes as fast as it does isn't surprising, look at the size of the fucking engine. Other supercars may not be as fast in a straight line, but on a track they're much faster. Hell, look at the Nurburgring times for the Veyron. Complete shit. Other supercars only need half the power, and do the part much better thanks to better designing. I'm not sure if they tried to design it awfully, but managing to get 4000+ lbs of weight is pretty fucking astonishing. The interior is bland and plain. I have no idea why you think it has good reliability, go research more. And no, the Bugatti does not look good. I'd rather look at a picture of vomit or excrement rather than the Veyron.

Bugatti couldn't make it a better car, they're not even making money off of it at this point. If they wanted to make it "nice" they would of made it lighter, better looking, and with a better interior. I'm not quite sure why you think this car is good. Bugatti let some 3 year olds design the whole thing, and just slapped a huge engine on it. It's completely awful. The only thing it's got on it's part is straightline performance, once again thanks to it's huge engine.

TBH, I want my "ultra-high performance supercar"s interior and exterior to be less awful. Never would I consider buying a Veyron mainly considering how it looks. Not to mention all the awful engineering behind it.

Bugatti let some 3 year olds design the whole thing, and just slapped a huge engine on it. It's completely awful. The only thing it's got on it's part is straightline performance, once again thanks to it's huge engine.

TBH, I want my "ultra-high performance supercar"s interior and exterior to be less awful. Never would I consider buying a Veyron mainly considering how it looks. Not to mention all the awful engineering behind it.

Which is why it had held the world record for fastest production vehicle for how many years before the shelby? It weighs 4000+ lbs because it has two fucking v8 motors in a w16 setup, and is not a stipped-down hunk of metal and motor like most other supercars.

Besides, it looks bitchin' and doesnt follow the general supercar blueprint like the koenigsegg, saleen s7, mclaren f1, etc.

[Rob Oplawar]

I'm not used to people having such radically different tastes than me. Nearly every aspect of the Veyron is just gorgeous to me. IMHO, it's a work of art. I'm inclined to call you an idiot for having a different opinion than me on a purely qualitative subject, but I've already done that, so...

I'm just gonna go on letting it be my favorite car, and you can go on being hurtful. :'(

Rofl, it held it for 2 years before the Shelby came along. Once they find a longer piece of road, the Shelby's record won't be beaten for a looooooong time. But that's besides the point, the McLaren held it for 12 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W16_engine

I'm not sure why you think the engine is heavy unless you have an actual number, but generally aluminum alloy engines aren't that heavy. What makes other cars light is the use of lighter materials such as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), in which I don't think they used any of on the Veyron. Yet, they still managed to make it the most expensive car currently in production. Yeah, it does follow it's own blueprint, which consequently is horrible.

E: And the Bugatti also has 7 gears, while the McLaren and Ultimate Aero have 6.

It looks like a hotwheels car. It's cool, but I'd never drive it. I appreciate subtlety, and cars like that have none.

[Mr Buckshot]

Rob, if you want a car that's high-performance yet remains subtle, look for a car with one of these badges:
http://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bmw_logo_m_logo.jpg<-BMW

http://www.cartype.com/pics/60/small/audi_s-line_emblem_1.jpg<-Audi

http://www.carbuyersnotebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/amg_logo.gif<-Mercedes Benz

Any BMW with an M badge, Audi with an S or RS badge, or Mercedes with an AMG badge is basically a run-of-the-mill, semi-discreet exterior hiding an exotic car engine. Heck the V10 engine in the Audi S6 is derived from the Lambo Gallardo engine.

No, the badge has to be factory fitted and accurate, any user rebadging doesn't count. I've seen way too many regular BMWs being rebadged to fake M models by people who want to show off.

e.g.

Maybach 62. Paranoid guys can also opt for an armoring package that makes the car as safe as a bank vault...assuming these guys own entire bank vaults of $$$ to pay for it. Power comes from a turbo V12 engine too for those performance enthusiasts.

0-60 in 5.2 seconds, very good for a car of this length.

[LesserOf2Evils]

Ferraris were never ugly, just way the hell too plain looking for costing a shit load of money. The 458 does actually look like super-car though.

Anyways Aston Martin is awesome. One-77 (700hp and 553 ft/lb) on top and V-12 Vantage(510hp and 420ft/lb) on bottom.

Bugatti Veyron: 2.5 seconds
The car maker says the quadruple-turbocharged, W-16 engine (think two V-8s) in its Veyron 16.4 produces 1,001 hp. In turn, that results in a blistering zero-to-60 mph time of around 2.5 seconds, according to reviews. Since production began in late 2005, cars have been built exclusively to order. In the U.S. you can get it for about $1.4 million.


http://www.luxurylaunches.com/entry_images/0707/24/car_2_.jpg SSC Ultimate Aero TT: 2.8 seconds (tie)
Ultimate Aero TT model, which is unrelated to the Audi TT, has a zero-to-60 mph time of about 2.8 seconds (OK, 2.78 seconds). Suggested retail is $549,000. Junus Khan, SSC sales director, said only one dealer, Motorcars of Las Vegas, sells the car. It has a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that generates 1,183 hp.




http://www.luxurylaunches.com/entry_images/0707/24/car2_.jpg
Saleen S7: (http://www.luxurylaunches.com/transport/top_five_fastest_zeroto60_carszooom.php#) 2.8 seconds (tie)
The outrageously styled Saleen S7 is one of the few cars in the world with a claimed zero-to-60 mph sprint of less than three seconds, or 100 mph in 5.9 seconds, thanks to a twin-turbocharged, 750-hp V8 engine. The body is made of light but strong "honeycomb" composite panels. Suggested retail is $592,700. Saleen also builds cars strictly for the race track.




http://www.luxurylaunches.com/entry_images/0707/24/car4_.jpg
RUF CTR3: 3.2 seconds
The CTR3’s zero-to-60 mph figure is conservative, said Wayne Corley, who co-owns the brand’s sole U.S. dealership, RUF Auto Centre in Dallas. RUF (all-capitals), is named for founder Alois Ruf, Sr. The company modifies factory Porsches in Germany, to perform even better. RUF also builds its own cars, like the CTR 3, which still shares some parts with the Porsche GT3 (http://www.luxurylaunches.com/transport/top_five_fastest_zeroto60_carszooom.php#). Suggested retail is about $520,000, depending on the exchange rate.

*Engine must be over 4 liters, unless it is a rally car, or if there is a rally car version.
One last exception, the car has to look AMAZINGLY cool (ie, first post lotus).
*No ricers, not even the stock version.
*Color must not be pink.

Sorry I refuse to respect anything that looks remotely like a ricer.

Old chargers and camaroes were very good. These new things are terrible.

Also that grabbler blue on the mustang is my least favorite color, besides white.

Looks so gross tbh.

Fords first attempt to bring the old muscle styling back into the mustang was a win imo. It was pretty much perfect. The new one is a miss tbh.

Good lord what is wrong with you people.

The new 2010 Mustang is miles better than the 2005-2009. Who cares if it is not as true to the original as the 2005-2009, IT LOOKS BETTER.

I don't think so. I prefer the 2008 models, to be honest. The 2010 one streamlines it a little too much, and the scrolling tail lights are a big NO. The last two years were slightly beefier, which made them more appealing. If I want a streamlined sports car, I will go for a Corvette or one of the European ones (Corvette first, since that's my fave...:-3).

Anyone recognize this car from anywhere?

Maybe stick a turret on the back and some "tusks" on the front...

I find the new 2010 Mustang's back has more definition then the previous one. Change is good.

Pontiac Trans AM:

I like the old design alot better then the newer ones.

People just have no respect for truly great cars anymore. The muscle cars of the 60- early 70s are some of the best looking cars ever made. This new aero style of Lamborghinis are all right, the new Mclaren is pretty nice, but just about everything else nowadays is disgusting in my eyes.

I also strongly dislike the look of the car on your signature.

I myself drive a 2005 mustang in legend lime with boss style pen stripes on the back and the old style mustang lettering below them, and bullet wheels, just because its awesome. Blacking out the back where the faux gas door is makes it look 10x better than stock on light colored cars.

Warthog?
E: Civihog!

[sdavis117]

I actually looked it up after posting it here, and even a Bungie employee (Shishka) says that is the closest thing to a Warthog that is available to the public.

[Warsaw]

Anyone else notice that it says "FAP" on the side?

Auto Panorama eh...Russian Car magasine probably...

Try the one without the aero kit:

Why would you do that to a V6 Mustang? Don't try to make it something it's not.

But personally, I think the 2010 Mustang looks much meaner than the 2005-2009. And I've also got to say Warsaw, I don't follow you when you say the 2010 looks more streamlined than the 2005-2009.

Thanks NFS High stakes :P

They need to do something about the mustangs mirrors. They look like they belong on a ranger, not a hot rod.

The lights on the 2008 bulge more, and I like that. Makes it look a little meaner. It's a small detail, but it makes a rather large impact, in my opinion. That being said, any new Mustang from 2005 onward is decent, can't say I'm a fan of anything between the '69 and the 2005 though.

No, its not like a warthog.

[mech]

He never said it was a warthog, you just assumed that; Which in fact triggers something in your mind to believe it has some aesthetic similarities to that of the warthog.

[Rob Oplawar]

Well, his implication was pretty obvious...
