Lotus Exige S

http://www.lotuscars.com/ExigeS.aspx :readng: :drool: :drool: :drool: This car is 2000 lbs, 220hp Supercharged 1.8 liter Mid Engine and Rear wheel drive. It's what my s2000 wishes it could be... It does 0-100 in 11 seconds.. Not sure on the 1/4 mile time but this car sure does look sick... Discuss... :cheers:

one of if not THE best handling cars in the world. I'd probably give a body part for it, but only if it was red with black rims. Wheres that video in your sig from?

Id love to have one of em, but no red for me

one of if not THE best handling cars in the world. I'd probably give a body part for it, but only if it was red with black rims. Wheres that video in your sig from? I'd have to go with Black on Black... I don't know, I found the gif online and had to use it.. lol I wish I knew where it was from..

I'll give it to you, they're nice.... just not for me. too small.

You save 20lbs by removing the A/C.. :lol: I'm real suprised for $60,000 an LSD isn't included.. Even my car has one..

220hp is all? My mustang has 210hp stock. I thought they had way more hp than that :idk: Id like to have one tho but theyre too expensive IMO. You can get plenty of other cars that are probably as fast or faster than it for under $60k.

Your mustang is about 3500pds and the lotus is like 2000.....huge difference. I know im not talking about speed just raw hp. I thought a supercharged 4 banger would put out a little more than 220hp :idk:

I'd like to take one to the track... gotta love those Toyota engines!

You save 20lbs by removing the A/C.. :lol: I'm real suprised for $60,000 an LSD isn't included.. Even my car has one.. lotus's position is that a limited slip interferes with the steering feel. i had considered an elise when i started looking for an MR but in the end the nsx was quite a bit more comfortable and about 1/2 to 1/3 the price :cheers: not to mention the C30A is quite a bit more durable than a 2zzge. of course a K20 swap in an elise/exige would own all....

I know im not talking about speed just raw hp. I thought a supercharged 4 banger would put out a little more than 220hp :idk: not at 11:5:1 comp :wink:

I don't know, I found the gif online and had to use it.. lol I wish I knew where it was from.. the vid in your sig is from a recent episode of top gear ( they were testing the new audi R8 vs the porsche carrera 2s) HzY_YA0CW00 (about 4:14 into the vid) :dthumb:

I think they use a toyota 1.8 liter engine.. :idk:

I think they use a toyota 1.8 liter engine.. :idk: It's a Toyota block with a Yamaha head. Phoenix Performance built one for racing in the SCCA Touring 2 class. They're less than two miles from my house and I help out the owner at nights some time. ( need to get my racing fix somehow :whistle: )

They're less than two miles from my house and I help out the owner at nights some time. ( need to get my racing fix somehow :whistle: ) Dam Im JELOUS!

In a car and driver a couple of years ago they tested a lotus exige, corvette, and a couple of other cars, and in that price range it was top. Can't beat a Z06 but it can beat the 400hp corvette with have the hp.

Nice find man.. I should of figured it was from top gear... Now I'm gonna download some.. :cheers: new episode comes out today :dthumb: finalgear.com

the fact is the power to weight ratio is better then almost every car out there. and the frame on the lotus is closer to a sportbike frame then a car frame, weighs either 150 or 160lbs... incredible. And they make a Exige Cup car with 240 HP thats got all the extra's for handling like stiffer sway bars and a LSD, b ut the cup car is not US Street legal. Though a regular exige with a few grand and a little extra boost would make as much HP. And the owner of the company designs from a race car standpoint, that light weight is much more important then HP to get around a road course the fastest possible. On the Yamaha head, its actually a co-op project head. Yamaha has done headwork for toyota for well over 20 years now. When the celica was still produced.. the 20HP gain from the GT to the GT-S was all from a simple yamaha port job on the head, so if u ver wanted to build one up the GT-S would be the only way to go. For a Mustang to ge the same power to weight it would need close to 400HP, and would still be sloppy handling due to weight.

the fact is the power to weight ratio is better then almost every car out there. you want power to weight ratio? get one of these: Caparo T1 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Caparo_T1_British_International_Motorshow_2006_195999165.jpg/250px-Caparo_T1_British_International_Motorshow_2006_195999165.jpg Weighs 1036 lbs and has a 3.5L V8 that makes 575 bhp. :yikes: :lol: Thats half the weight of the exige and almost 3 times the hp. of course it does cost about $400,000 more... :lol:

And only holds one, and isnt street legal!

And only holds one, and isnt street legal! wrong on both counts It is legal in the UK, dunno about the US. plus who cares? you're gonna be on the track anyways and it does have two seats :dthumb:

I'd get an Ariel Atom... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA

I'd get an Ariel Atom... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA The ariel Atom isn't exactly a practical car.. At least you could drive to work in the Exige, albeit a little uncomfortable but at least if you get caught in a downpour it would be ok. Is the Atom legal in the US?

its uncomfortable, coming from the biker :lol:

its uncomfortable, coming from the biker :lol: Yeah, The suspension probably bounces around over the ****ty pavement.. I love watching that Ariel Atom Video... I AM AN ALIEN!

the vid in your sig is from a recent episode of top gear ( they were testing the new audi R8 vs the porsche carrera 2s) HzY_YA0CW00 (about 4:14 into the vid) :dthumb: WTF you don't see who won the drag! :wbs:

sorry :lol: the porsche won, by a few feet. Although, the audi was a 1:24.4 around the track and the porsche was a 1:26.2... so audi wins by a lot there

PERIOD

the Ariel Atom got its @$$ handed to it by the Radical SR3 as well....and costs close to the same. And that T1 is flat out bad ass....but yeah the cost plus u cant drive it on the street. For a production street vehicle the Exige is it. If you can afford the T1 youd never need it to touch a public road, it would be too much more fun on the track which you could buy ownership in for the price of the car.

I would rather a C6 vette faster and they still handle very well...

I would rather a C6 vette faster and they still handle very well... uhh no. mosler MT900 though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk5-wZaV5K0

another race bred car that would not pass safety in american standards and see public streets. There are many faster cars then the lotus on the track...not hardly any for the money, and none on the street in showroom condition

another race bred car that would not pass safety in american standards and see public streets. There are many faster cars then the lotus on the track...not hardly any for the money, and none on the street in showroom condition british show, american car. and yes its street legal here

The lotus is one of the best handling cars on the planet. As far as production cars go, for the money, it pretty much has no equal. 220hp is all? My mustang has 210hp stock. I thought they had way more hp than that :idk: Id like to have one tho but theyre too expensive IMO. If you think the HP of your mustang has anything at all to do with this car's performance, you're way off mark. They are in two separate universes. I know im not talking about speed just raw hp. I thought a supercharged 4 banger would put out a little more than 220hp :idk: It being supercharged doesn't add as much top end power as if it were turboed, but more importantly gives it immediately available grunt at all rpms that belies it's small displacement. You can get plenty of other cars that are probably as fast or faster than it for under $60k Nope. Unless you're talking about in a straight line, but who cares about that. the fact is the power to weight ratio is better then almost every car out there. and the frame on the lotus is closer to a sportbike frame then a car frame, weighs either 150 or 160lbs... incredible.

Finally some intelligent commentary in this thread :cheers: I'd get an Ariel Atom... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA Those cars are sick, just impractical. I do believe they are street legal though, which is amazing. I would rather a C6 vette faster and they still handle very well... Why am I not surprised. There are many faster cars then the lotus on the track...not hardly any for the money, and none on the street in showroom condition :iagree: in it's price range, and being street legal, it pretty much has no competitor. Although the Noble M12 is certainly a car worth mentioning here :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

uhh no. mosler MT900 though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk5-wZaV5K0 The only thing you proved to me is that an american Iron small block could edge out an italian superbike with a lighter frame/chassis configuration but the question was an under powered british car called a lotus.... I said a C6 vette could beat it in a straight line foot race which it can and nearly compete with it in the twisties and still cost 10-20k less... C6 FTW with minor suspension/ tire mods.

:iagree: in it's price range, and being street legal, it pretty much has no competitor. Although the Noble M12 is certainly a car worth mentioning here :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: we are talking from the factory here correct? the last gen MR2 spyder comes pretty damn close with suspension and a k20 and you might have enough left to feed yourself the next day :dthumb:

C6 FTW with minor suspension/ tire mods. c6 z06 costs more than an exige s, at least according to the link posted by the op. ive no doubts the c6 could defeat it in many cases. still, theres a few places (downhill touge for one) where it would get whored by the lotus

I'm not sure it's really a question of which car is "faster" But which car is more fun to drive through the twisties.. At least for me it is.. Everyone loves straight line acceleration, but light cars are just a **** load of fun to throw around turns.. You can have your everyday Corvette, which you see everywhere.. I'll take the Lotus..

You can have your everyday Corvette, which you see everywhere.. I'll take the Lotus.. :iagree: A dime a dozen... But. I still wouldn't own a Lotus.... couldn't fit in it. :(

c6 z06 costs more than an exige s, at least according to the link posted by the op. ive no doubts the c6 could defeat it in many cases. still, theres a few places (downhill touge for one) where it would get whored by the lotus where in my quote did i ever say anything about a z06... And there is no doubt in my mind that a z06 would make short work out of a exige s.... even on a road course.... The Z06 has the grunt for the straight aways and they pull over a "G" on the lateral skid pad.... so yes it does have handle.... and they are around 70k so they are a little more than the exige but well worth it i think... What do you get with the exige a go cart with a puny Scion TC motor... give me a break... the only thing that car has going for it is the fact that it can handle because its size and weight other than that its nothing.

:iagree: A dime a dozen... But. I still wouldn't own a Lotus.... couldn't fit in it. :( damn really? why? I've wondered how I'd fit in one of those...I'm6'3" so I figured it'd be tight...

damn really? why? I've wondered how I'd fit in one of those...I'm6'3" so I figured it'd be tight... yeah i'm just a bit larger than you. my bro down in New Mexico is like, 5'8" and he said it's a tight fit for him. I had a helluva time fittin gbehind his Porsche 951 tha tI couldn't drive it.....

If you think the HP of your mustang has anything at all to do with this car's performance, you're way off mark. They are in two separate universes. Im not saying it does im just saying i thought it wouls have a little more hp :idk: my friends SRT-4 has 700 something hp and hes only put about $10k or so in it.

to me the Z06 would be more FUN because u can get a lot more sloppy in it, and sloppy driving can be more fun then maintianing traction, but i'd still say the Exige S holds a faster mid corner speed then the special vette, and the ONLY differecne more HP makes with speed is top speed...same power to weight, gearing and aeros will make two diff cars go the same speed, one having 200 and the other 500HP. Controlled drving in a light car would take a lot more talent to push to the limit i'd assume...but you know what assuming means.

For what its worth, here's the Stig's lap times. http://www.topgear.com/content/tgonbbc2/laptimes/thestig/ The Exige S beats out a lot of more expensive, more powerful cars. Some people like a brutish car (Corvette, Viper), while others prefer the scapel like precision of a car like the Exige. To each his own. I for one like a great handling, quick car. For those needs, 200 - 300 hp is plenty.

Although my car did cost less then 1/3 of the Exige S.. I love the rev-happy nature of my car.. Reminds me of a sportbike, although dare I say the engine's music is a bit better then the bikes.. :cheers:

At our AutoX last year-Winner was an Lotus. It beat 3 C6 Z06's and a whole slew of C6's and C5's that were modded. It all depends on the course. Any straight-aways and the Lotus lost time. I'd love to have one just to run SCCA with. No way I'd drive one every day. I like my spine too much.:wink:

Its a high price Toyota celica

But... Dude...C'mon. it's THE STIG. He/She/It has BADASS times on damn near anything. Not the point. The value of the Stig's times is the fact that the cars all competed on the same track with the same (supposedly) driver. The times should fairly represent all the cars listed regarding track times. Its a high price Toyota celica That's no Celica, my friend. Not much in common between the two except for the engine block.

Its a high price Toyota celica High priced, celica that Lotus removed everything down to the engine block and threw away... then rebuilt it around that... so yeah... a High priced Celica:skep:

High priced, celica that Lotus removed everything down to the engine block and threw away... then rebuilt it around that... so yeah... a High priced Celica:skep: Haha just like the audi tt is a high priced bug!!

Haha just like the audi tt is a high priced bug!! yeah but you should be smacked for compare'n the lotus to the audi tt :lol:

Not the point. The value of the Stig's times is the fact that the cars all competed on the same track with the same (supposedly) driver. The times should fairly represent all the cars listed regarding track times. It's documented there's more than one STIG. All I gotta say is I wish I had some of the STIG's skillz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig

Unless it has a Stallion or a Bull on the emblem... I call :wbs: on that sir... Just my :2cents: Have you heard the song this 2.0 liter plays at 9,000 rpm? OMG.. :drool: With the top down, the sound is amazing.. Edit - I'm not trying to compare my car to a lambo... but it does sound ****ing awesome..

Celica and exige literlaly share some motror parts and thats it... Celica is front FWD and front mounted engine, versuss ad100% diff chassis, and drivetrain placement.. You couldnt make a celia handle as well with another 35K$ in it that the lotus costs to start.

Its a high price Toyota celica right idea wrong car, acceptable answers would have been mr2 spyder or mr-s. you dont win any money, you dont get to come back tomorrow, you dont even get a crappy copy of our home game...:nee

right idea wrong car, acceptable answers would have been mr2 spyder or mr-s. you dont win any money, you dont get to come back tomorrow, you dont even get a crappy copy of our home game...:nee I still think your off the mark by saying the mr2...

I still think your off the mark by saying the mr2... not really, mr2 is a lightweight short wheelbase midship so its very close in nature to the lotus. only prob is they only shipped with the anemic 1zz engine. swap it for a 2zz or more ideally a b or k series honda and slap suspension on it and it'll keep right up for less than half the price. and if you dont buy it pick up some old issues of sport compact car cause they did that exact shootout. :wink:

dude dont compare a bug to a TT am a Vdub head i know my german cars the jetta and the golf came with the 1.8t 1st and then if you got the vr6 it never came in a bug either.... yes any audi is a high price VW and i would never buy a AUDI their to expensive to hook up... esp when you can make a vdub faster and its the same motor in all.. now for the lotus yes it is a high price toyata... yes it is a great handling car but not for the money id rather put a nice down payment on a Porsche then get that jap thing.. thats like justifying spending 80k-100k on a NSX who the **** wants a 100k HONDA lol better smack me if i ever bought that car...worthless.. i like to achieve high speed highway cars plus i hate waiting for jap car powerband to kick in around 6,500 like a damn honda German cars FTW

You shouldn't have changed it... fine i'll put it back lol

agree and disagree cause the bug didnt get the 1.8t till later in its creation it was probably not till like 2002? i believe maybe lil later but the mk4 early model jetta and golfs both came with the 1.8t to start with or get the better motor vr6

So.... uhh... didnt that post agree with the fact that an audi tt is a high priced bug!?! i find it suspicious that he knows exactly where the vtec engagement point is on the nsx. the nsx was a flagship, a showcase for hondas technology from F1. the 911 other hand has been obsolete since 1966. it was inexcuseable for porsche to continue selling an RR car after MR made its debut. of course, its just like the germans to waste a ****load of time engineering flaws out of a bad design

did a porsche beat you or what?? :lol: Whats neat is watching a built bug out run a porsche :slol: And I dont mean these water cooler bugs either.:wink: nah, theres just certain cars that REALLY go against my automotive ideology. actually the last time i played with one in the twistys (993 iirc) i kicked his ass. MR>RR

did a porsche beat you or what?? :lol: Whats neat is watching a built bug out run a porsche :slol: And I dont mean these water cooler bugs either.:wink: AIR Cooled all day plus with only 300hp you can wheelie the lil fcuker i want one so bad but it hard to find one in good shape.. as for the other guy and stating my knowledge of honda just because i dont like a certain type of car doesnt mean i dont know my info and if it aint 6500 were vtec cracks it may or may not be a lil higher give or take period... they high price POS and to wait for power that long just bores me... give me a german engineered car all a day and then i know you gona say well they use turbos you have to wait for those to spool not with the new turbos porsche has greated with the vented fins which in turn turns a big turbo into a small turbo at idle creating less turbo lag

dude dont compare a bug to a TT am a Vdub head i know my german cars the jetta and the golf came with the 1.8t 1st and then if you got the vr6 it never came in a bug either.... yes any audi is a high price VW and i would never buy a AUDI their to expensive to hook up... esp when you can make a vdub faster and its the same motor in all.. now for the lotus yes it is a high price toyata... yes it is a great handling car but not for the money id rather put a nice down payment on a Porsche then get that jap thing.. thats like justifying spending 80k-100k on a NSX who the **** wants a 100k HONDA lol better smack me if i ever bought that car...worthless.. i like to achieve high speed highway cars plus i hate waiting for jap car powerband to kick in around 6,500 like a damn honda German cars FTW #1 Lotus is British, not Japanese.. #2 It is not a high priced toyota, they based the engine off of a 1.8 toyota engine.. #3 The NSX was a damn good supercar for the price.. Mid Engine Rear Wheel drive with good power and a great exterior... #4 VDubs suck.. You spend most of your time fixing them, don't you???

AIR Cooled all day plus with only 300hp you can wheelie the lil fcuker i want one so bad but it hard to find one in good shape.. as for the other guy and stating my knowledge of honda just because i dont like a certain type of car doesnt mean i dont know my info and if it aint 6500 were vtec cracks it may or may not be a lil higher give or take period... they high price POS and to wait for power that long just bores me... give me a german engineered car all a day and then i know you gona say well they use turbos you have to wait for those to spool not with the new turbos porsche has greated with the vented fins which in turn turns a big turbo into a small turbo at idle creating less turbo lag hah variable nozzle turbos, big friggin deal. dodge used to put those on shadows and daytonas way back in 89'. nothing like slapping some 20 year old tech on your car and claiming that its new :slol:

I stop reading your posts after the first grammatical error, like a run on, the first sentence. I am just playing devils advocate here.... but your grammar in this post isn't exactly grammatically correct either... and anyways who cares about grammar this a public forum not english class

Yeah i realized it wasn't perfect. I have to concentrate to understand what he is trying to say in that post though.

yea those were great cars thats y their still around??? porsche took their idea and made it better cause their turbo didnt last to long many problems other wise dodge would still be using them let dodge stick to what their good at building diesels and trucks.......... 2nd if you really think the nsx is worth the 80k they want go ahead and buy a honda for 80k... 3rd no i have a 98 turbo vr6 golf mk3 and i dont spend all day fixing it their just some people who dont know how to work on them and put the wrong parts on and they break. 4th the vr has forged internals so their very strong..... lol and 5th do a lil more research cause your precise Lotus is about to become a POS ford damn that sucks cause both jaguar and aston martin are bought out by that crappy company..... 6th who has built two of the faster cars in the world um VW with the Bugatti Veyron and Lambo's??

You have this.... And you feel sorry for the guy with the NSX.. Damn VDUMB fan boys.. :cursin: If you look really close you can see a pretty decent sized intercooler.... providing the size of the turbo under the hood of that thing and the tune I would say it could possibly make short work of that Acura.... That V-Dubb could make a pretty quick sleeper

That V-Dubb could make a pretty quick sleeper so what? its an iron block six with extra equipment...all in front of the front axle. can you spell understeer? in any case since he clearly only cares about 1/4 mile times (i dont) my 3.0 litre, high mileage basic boltons normally aspirated "pos" went 13.199 @ 108.28. 2.0 60 ft in full street trim on old street tires. also, the rsx is my roomates. it is not riced out and actually has an lsd :nee dubbs, these are the only semi decent ones i have of it in its current state http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Khajjathefang/2781819990053772090vAyyHW_fs.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Khajjathefang/2152235600053772090GBsguJ_fs.jpg current mods: cantrell intake splitter headers exhaust uni filter carbing brace buddy club coilovers taitec diffuser punched cats and some lightening :wink:

That V-Dubb could make a pretty quick sleeper I didn't have to look closely, it was pretty apparent.. Refer to Daveon's post... :wink:

yes you are right that the VR6 is not a track car very front heavy i agree inless fully built for a track such as the Red Devil that beats almost everythin on a track do a search on you tube ..now for your roommate is that an after market LSD cause if you say no am going laugh cause the RSX never came with an LSD only the CIVIC SI did... and actually i hate drag racing its fun but not my forte thats y i have recently sold her am soon going to build a track car. havent picked a plat form just yet but...... um and as it goes with any car you cn make anything fast have you seen the people who are putting 350's in the geo metro lol BTW the turbo under the hood was GT63R so i would of smoked your lil nsx no problem that was a 12' second street spinning half way down the track

Okay so I kinda missed this conversation but I'll put in my two cents anyways. I love the Lotus Exige S, I also would settle for an Elise for half the price and still run circles around many cars out there. The cars Lotus makes aren't necessarily practical for every day driving but that's why their performance is so good. No a/c, no stereo, and all the body panels are made of carbon fiber (not a cheap fix when you get in a fender bender). I've found a lot of people are mislead about the horsepower of the Exige S because they don't realize just how light it is. All that said, I'd buy one. :cheers:

wheres the rest of your rear bumper... it looks like it is cut off in these pics... is that the said rear splitter that you talk about in your mod list yep thats the taitec diffuser, its modeled directly off of the ones that got banned in the JGTC. adds some nice downforce in the rear and is nowhere near as hideous as one of those wings. plus i think it looks badass

HOW TO MAKE A HONDA FAST http://www.goingfaster.com/spo/crx-power.jpg No, That's how you make it handle like your car... :slol:

yep thats the taitec diffuser, its modeled directly off of the ones that got banned in the JGTC. adds some nice downforce in the rear and is nowhere near as hideous as one of those wings. plus i think it looks badass not to knock your ride because I happen to like the NSX's but it looks like something is missing there and do you actually go the necessary 150+ to make that air defuser work... or did you just get it for aesthetics.

No, That's how you make it handle like your car... :slol: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p75/upshift12/VWOSNAP.gif BUURRRRRRN! :lol:

not to knock your ride because I happen to like the NSX's but it looks like something is missing there and do you actually go the necessary 150+ to make that air defuser work... or did you just get it for aesthetics. call me crazy but the car feels more planted over 60. not sure if its really working that early or if its a extra confidence thing...you know, like that beer before you go hit on that hottie across the bar :dthumb:

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/Rustoleum97/0904071425a.jpg To rip off my old friends Cheech and Chong: That's a real nice car. Better get it back to the circus before they find out its missing. JK man. However, I do find it comical that someone driving a tuner VW is trying to ride an NSX owner. Good luck with that. Q7KRVA6_0U4&feature=related

done :slol: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Khajjathefang/DSCN1041.jpg Pssst... you have the same car and color as Nick Sitko.... :baha:

However, I do find it comical that someone driving a tuner VW is trying to ride an NSX owner. Good luck with that. I see an intercooler in that bumper, buddy. No telling what kind of setup he's got under there. Although regardless, it's not really plausible that the thing could ever outhandle the NSX no matter WHAT he's done to it...

Thats like trying to argue 1/4 mile times for sportbikes. True!! Because I helped a buddy build his civic that will toast a NSX on the strip, though I think the NSX will out handle it on a tight track!

Pssst... you have the same car and color as Nick Sitko.... :baha: Blackjack, anyone?

Pssst... you have the same car and color as Nick Sitko.... :baha: amusing, but my car is NA1 and his is NA2 :dthumb: also pretty sure he doesnt have the ivory interior

better watch this video before anyone says anything this lil VW will out handle and nsx and porsche and lambo anyday Watch out guys, one VW owner built a nice car.:flush:

Watch out guys, one VW owner built a nice car.:flush: goto waterfest or H2O and say that and watch how many sick VW their are that will spank most cars on the road/track

goto waterfest or H2O and say that and watch how many sick VW their are that will spank most cars on the road/track Or I could go to a NOPI carshow and take it in the butt.

Tha sure is a fast cardboard box :lol:

Or I could go to a NOPI carshow and take it in the butt. lol NOPI most cars their are all show and no go cause they never see the street will all the chrome and decals put on em

thanks buddy! No prob...just doin my job...

audi still owned by VW does it matter?? plus that has a vr6 which was the same engine as mine... plus that was my body style

audi still owned by VW does it matter?? plus that has a vr6 which was the same engine as mine... plus that was my body style try inline 5 and lets not forget that it cost 500k to build

audi still owned by VW does it matter?? plus that has a vr6 which was the same engine as mine... plus that was my body style Well Ford owns Aston Martin. Does that mean that my mustang was hand built, cuz that would be baller.

fast cars suck :leaving:

Well Ford owns Aston Martin. Does that mean that my mustang was hand built, cuz that would be baller. lol you only wish 2nd come on now you drive a rusty mustang plus its a ford AKA fix or repair daily 3rd no only the original aston martin were hand built the new ones are coming out from a assembly line by machines

try inline 5 and lets not forget that it cost 500k to build i wasnt saying my motor was the same as an audi 1st off i was sayin the red devil car was using the same motor in my car 2nd vw has an inline 5 in the rabbit new one thou.....500K? kinda doubt that but yes expensive

lol you only wish 2nd come on now you drive a rusty mustang plus its a ford AKA fix or repair daily 3rd no only the original aston martin were hand built the new ones are coming out from a assembly line by machines Exactly my point, so don't bring up v dub makin audi.

Ok so instead of making ourselves sound like *******s and douchebags, how about we just agree that a exige or nsx would kill your car on a track (not meaning 1/4 mile). Cool?

Exactly my point, so don't bring up v dub makin audi. am sorry your not really up on your mechanics but audi's and vw are exactly the same cars with a different outer shell as for your mustang and and aston martin not so much yes their running the same motor now but their still is alot of differences before ford bought them out... Audi was always owned by VW.. VW came 1st then the audi was introduced BY THEM really the only difference is the price that the audi is set at... and yes their are a few models that the vw does not make compared to the audi such as S4 but that has to be cause nobody wants to be able to buy a vw that can beat their audi thats just how rich snobby people are... AS that said that why the C Class benz AMG do not come superchargerd cause it would beable to beat the E class AMG and those owners who spent twice as much money would be very anger...... but yes ill agree stock vs stock the nsx and lotus will beat my MK3 golf but i would hope that they can beat my stock model car they cost 3x the amount that my car did from the factory... AS for any modified car.. anything can be fast am sorry Daveon i just "hate honda's" vw fans despise those rice burners

:lol: I knew that was coming. what I ment by don't ask was... we saw a TCN go'n at it just outside the gate with his sheep... yeah... :puke: I seriously did puke... and couldn't stop for 12 hrs... cause I could smell the puke and well the vision... :yikes: :leaving: Yeah, we've seen it happen many times, once we halted because a truck was stuck in a serpintine and he looked over at us but didn't care and continued going to town!! Even like 12yr olds do it!!
