Agent ONE Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Maybe I am just a cheapskate but if I had an exotic like that, I would not push it too the limits, I mean I may take a leisurely drive at 120 on a track or something but nothing risky. I only drive my M3 as fast as I feel comfortable, which is just a little slower than 120, and thats on a track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of these little baddies. These cars came with hemi straight-6's, and were supposedly so quick they could outrun most V8's in their day. Looks like a "super deformed" '66 Charger... I'll take that thing waaaaaaaaay before I take the Aussie Falcon, If only Mopar would've built that car's mechanicals into an option for the Dart, Duster, or Demon....

Lightning Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 well then, A1 could easily fit in my car, it's got like a good 5 inches more headroom for me, and I'm 6'0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddsun1 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 While this may seem like a novel/good idea on paper, I can't help but think "these guys are fuggin' idiots!" A domed motorsports complex?! Surely they can't mean fully enclosed? Not over the track area itself? I shudder at the thought of the rash of cases of sudden hearing loss or tone deafness occurring among fans and employees alike...not to mention the as yet unheard of risks from vibrational and sound stresses on the structures themselves. Have these twits actually sampled/experienced the kinds of noises that are generated at a motor race? http://www.lmsr.net/dometrack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfunk Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 its all about testing the limits Of what your wallet. naw, if ya cant afford maint on it then you really shouldnt have it. if your on a sanctioned SCCA track and spin out in an area that you know your safe in, most people end up with maybe a few stone chips, but most of the time its a bit dusty. of course you dont want to test the limits of your car on a country road with woods on both sides. it is costly driving hard on a car, i know i put a new set of mxx3's on my car every year and rebuilt the seal on the axle a few times. that was my driver. if I had (could afford) a Ferrari i wouldnt expect anyless from that car then my vette. my cousin has a 512 and he DRIVES it, but he works on it himself, put in 2 clutch assy's allready. IMHO why own it if you dont use it for what its intended for, get a Fiero and put a ferrarri body on it. , and most people cant handle the cars, round here when the 1st vipers came out all the engineers got to bring them home i cant count the accidents that that caused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, a lot of monster truck events are held in closed stadiums, so... He hopes to attract NASCAR, Busch, Indy and Champ Car events to the New England Raceway track... And it'll probably be an oval track too, which is just what we need in the land of internationally-ridiculed motorsports.

MrDisco Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Is it just me, or is this whole scissor-door thing being way overdone on custom cars at show? i'ld be more impressed if the rear doors could open scissor like as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they continue with handling and power, this one will be a seller too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 While its not the best picture in the world, the only beef I have with the new M3 would be those rims. Does BMW really need the added bling of 20" wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 I wish someone would obliterate all spinners from the face of the planet! Glad you mentioned that. On a recent issue of Motor Trend magazine, their "Jumping the Shark"* featured spinners and how quickly they've gone out of style. Sooner or later, spinner companies will go out of business, only to re-emerge 20 years later... (*The title comes from a cliffhanger season finale of Happy Days, when Fonzie rides his bike in an attempt to jump over a shark pool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 And while the new BMW 3-series looks decent, the rest of the lineup looks bland. Chris Bangle designs BMWs like Syd Mead designs Gundams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If I can find em cheap enough, im puttin a set of those poor man spinner hub caps on the wifes car yeah, spinners suck, if you can fit 20" performance wheels on a car that can handle some lateral g's, thats OK, but on a suburban or hummer,,,,,,eew defeats the purpose of having a 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
