If I had the money to buy a 911 I wouldn't

Nor would I, but I certainly wouldn't but an overpriced Italian GT car either.

Audi RS6 Sedan FTW.

End of story.

Or an older generation RS6 sedan with Â£50k to spend on go-faster goodies. Or a boat.

Hey, I never said current-gen did I? (jks)

List of cool cars I saw on a recent trip out of town:

six (yes, six) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8s (spread out across the entire trip)
three 2010 Mustangs (one GT coupe, two convertibles)
two Mitsubishi 3000GTs
BMW Z3 M Coupe (yes, the "shoe")
Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)
Toyota Supra (JZA80)
Lotus Elan (I had never seen one before; I can usually recognize cars within a half of a second but I had to actually look at the badging to identify it )
Honda S2000 (AP1), with sweet Volk-looking rims and a good-looking exhaust system. It was stopped, though

Not technically on the road, but at the flicks last night (Angels And Demons) one of the main cars featured was the brand new 2009 Lancia Delta. Aside from the front grille I rather like it.

The Lancia Delta is not so Brand new, it's for sale for a year now in Europe, seen several around.
Probably new down under, but brand new.... nah..

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 17 May 2009, 23:20

Well I've only heard of it from the start of the year. It's not coming to Australia, which correct me if I'm wrong was the same with the old one.

Doesn't look the least bit attractive in my opinion. Looks like they tried to copy the Maybach Exelero's front end (and failed) and slapped it on some weird looking crossover/stationwagon chassis.

I'm sorry, but IMO that car...

You clearly never seen a Lancia before have you, they didn't copy the Maybach, Lancia has that style of front for a while now, there are several Lancia's with a front like that, it did change over the years and the grill got higher and isn't as wide as it was years ago (thus a thinner higher grill) but only the 80's Lancia's had a square grill.

RedCarDriver · Post by **RedCarDriver** » 19 May 2009, 01:45

w00t I saw an F430 today!

It was really loud, and I didn't really look at it until the last minute, so it may have been something other than an F430, but I'm pretty sure it was one - couldn't have been anything but an F430, Enzo, or something newer.

I also saw another new Camaro and another new Challenger; I guess those are in full sale now.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 19 May 2009, 03:15

Down at Harvey Norman there's two cars that park there, one is an FPV F6 Tornado (I want one even more now, they actually look quite spectacular) and a Chrysler 300C SRT8. If I can get a photo of the two together I'll post it up, because the numberplates that they have are actually kinda funny. The Tornado (which is the ute version of the F6 Typhoon for those that don't know) has the numberplate "WORKUTE" and the 300C has "FMLYCAR".

Actually, I have seen a Lancia before, but I believe it was the 80's one with the regular square grill as you said.

And even though they may not have been trying to copy the Exelero, I still think that it looks quite ugly. I'm not sure exactly what it is that makes the vehicle so odd-looking, but the shape (which is similar to a Nissan Murano 1st gen, another extremely ugly vehicle) and front grille definitely contribute.

Not really fond of the looks but it's definitely freshing up the roads, usually clogged with boring vehicles.

Well, in real life I've seen:

one Ford GT convertible
One Lamborghini Murcielago
Two Lamborghini Gallardos
One Audi R8

GTX1?

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 21 May 2009, 05:58

You seriously didn't know about that Haz?

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 21 May 2009, 08:52

I most certainly did not. Google not turning up any relevant results for 'Convertible Ford GT' didn't help my skepticism, either.

Though that does a pretty good job of making a damn sexy car even sexier.

Post by **TheStig** » 21 May 2009, 13:13

But the GTX1 is a prototype... so I doubt you will see it on the street...

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 21 May 2009, 20:29

Actually, I believe there is/was a company in Vegas that converted a normal Ford GT into a GTX1 for a customer.

Striker94 · Post by **Striker94** » 24 May 2009, 05:21

lol, even I know about that...

Anyway, saw a very nice GT2 in silver...

It does exsist because I've seen the same exact one twice. This first time was in a Target parking lot and the second time was on the street.
