That's a late '80s/early '90s Cadillac Brougham. usual old-school American full size saloon - Huge low tech engine, laughable performance, mile long overhangs, marshmallow suspension.

Lol no la, the cover was obviously removed. Not very aerodynamically efficient without the cover, is it?

I'm not really sure if it's really a WRX STi spec C Type RA-R tho. Sure it has pretty much all the details correct, yellow paint, plain WRC type white rims, CF front lip spoiler, the red 'lipstick' effect on the centre grille, roof vane, et all..
But.. the rear spoiler is fully painted yellow when it should have been plain carbonfibre. a 'standard' Type RA-R doesn't have a rear spoiler, and only a fully carbonfibre one is available as an option.

Hmm.. well i'm not saying it's not really a WRX STi spec C Type RA-R, i just have my doubts. If it is, kudos mate, awesome car, and if it's not, kudos to you too, your attention to detail is almost perfect =)

how can you compare a Pagani Zonda to a Merc SL63 AMG la?

one's a fullfledged member of the supercar club, the other merely a spruced up luxury grand tourer.

even an SL65 AMG with its 604bhp can't be considered in the same rank as the Zonda.

True, but not anymore. only a limited number of SL73 AMGs were ever made in the late '90s, and even that only had 525bhp. The engines used in the Zonda (670bhp in the 7.3Litre Zonda F) are of a higher state of tune, closer to the ones used in the CLK-GTR, rather than the AMG SLs.

That's a Fiat X1/9 la guys, not an MR2.

LOL, funny thread =)

Here's a picture, Lotus showstand in Bangsar Village II
(from left) Lotus Europa S, Lotus Exige S, Lotus Elise S

I love Lotus cars, the Elise in particular as i've been lucky enough to drive it. absolutely sublime handling, though very hard to get in and out of, I'm not exactly built like a racing driver, LOL.

Erm no, Fiat X1/9s doesn't have power steering.

though even if it had power steering, i don't think it would make that particular car any more drivable (ie not at all). the front fenders are practically resting on the front wheels for God's sake! LOL

I don't think that's fair to him, to be honest.

Yes he was a permanent backmarker during his time in F1. Yes he's not doing too well in this year's A1GP.

But people seem to forget that he once had a 7th place finish in the 2002 Australian GP. Had it been 2003 or later he would have gotten 2 Championship points. and this was in a desperately underpowered Minardi.

In A1GP he's won 4 races in total, 2 pole positions, and 2 fastest laps. And remember that all the cars in A1 are equal to each other, so it's a fair race between drivers.

These records are not to be laughed at. It's bloody impressive even.

ultimately, can any one of you claim that you're a BETTER driver than him? absolutely not. put yourself in his shoes and you'll know how hard it is to shine in the world of motorsports.

He, along with Karamjit Singh, are world class racing drivers and truth be told, neither of them are getting the respect they deserve.

Check out this car, one of the best Myvi mod jobs I've seen so far. Love the twin exhausts integrated in the rear bumper -


Better than this pseudo-M5 body kit anyway -


LOL

If any of you still cares -
That's a crude replica of a Ferrari FXX, based on a Nissan Silvia (S15).
Busted my brain figuring this one out, stared at the windowline for quite a while =P.

The grey car on the front of the picture is a Porsche Boxster S (986), while the black car is a pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz SLK200 (R171).

lol.. it says Kuala Lumpur on the road sign la mate..

White Nissan GT-R, in Gleneagles Medical Centre VIP carpark. I guess GT-Rs are not that rare after all.


This car is certainly rare here tho, 2nd gen Toyota Prius.

Nah it's not rare. There were lots of them in Malaysia 20 years ago. A properly working one would be a rare find though, lol.

Well if it counts for anything it was in the last series of Top Gear where it beat a couple of British Leyland-era cars on a track =)

19"s. 275/30 ZR 19 Tyres.

The C-Class in the picture is a C200K Elegance that carries a less than RM250,000 pricetag.
And most, if not all Rolex watches cost way more than 20 grand.

Nice parking eh? The owner was too scared to scratch his new car maybe - bigger the gap away from other cars the better. LOL

Horrible horrible horrible vynils. Hope it comes right off clean.
Well yeah, GT-Rs are common on our roads nowadays. Still quite a sight though, so yeah, it's still interesting to see.

Oh right.. I don't follow Japan GT, nor do i care about it.
So the vynils are not permanent ones then, good. I sure hope the owner tears them off when he gets home.

Here's another equally horrible vynil/stickers -


It has a 'Gemballa BiTurbo' sticker on it's rear. Ugh what waste of a decent car. And that's not even a real Geballa GT 550!

Erm that was a joke. Surely you've seen one of the MasterCard ads on TV, it goes like -

XXXX = RMXX
XXXX = RMXXX
XXXX = Priceless
There are some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's MasterCard.

^^

Lol that's a little extreme. The M3 is hardly slow is it?

Since when is it all about speed anyway? To 'speed freak' yeah maybe. To everyone else though, I'm sure it's a little more complicated than that if they were to choose between those two cars.

My guess is that the more sophisticated people around (ie non ah bengs and ricers) would get the M3 =). Not all, but most.

Cayenne GTS slots in between the S and the Turbo, with a modified version of the S' 4.8 litre V8, making 405bhp.

It's slower than the Turbo, but tuned to be more sporty.
