When was the track day, I live about 20 minutes from Mosport, I would have loved ot make it out to see some cars. Also I did not know there was an FFX in Ontario.

A Friend of mine spotted these.

That it is a Piece of shit.

20hp model and 50hp model, weight is around 1100lbs http://www.fronic.com/?p=65

I love everything except the headlights. But since i cant afford one.. what I think doesnt matter.

Here's another exotic sports car to add to your stable. A.d. Tramontana has been working on an interesting two-seater that has played itself out as a concept vehicle in years past, but now the Spanish vehicle is ready for prime time. The Tramontana, at a weight of just over 2000 lbs., has been blessed with a 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 engine putting out 720 hp to launch it to a top speed of 182 mph. No word on pricing yet, but they'll likely vary as the company promises to customize them for each new owner. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/...icleId=109425#2

No, it isnt my review, someone I know test drove it.

Are you sure? I grew up in the shwa (south end unfortunately) and I haven't heard of any r33's out there or in Canada at that matter. I know there was an r32 in whitby though. It was bought last year .North Oshawa (I am from Courtice).

There is an R33 in Oshawa, Ontario. But i have yet to see or hear of an R34. Good luck getting it over here.

My GF Drives a 04 ES330 and for what it is I t is a great little car. I love driving it. Lexuz is much better now then they were even 5 or 6 years ago. Great cars, this is no exception

A Maybach that pumps out SL65 AMG numbers Posted Dec 7, 2005, 8:00 AM ET by Erin Mays Old stodgy car? Not when AMG gets ahold of it. Mercedes-Benz tuner house, AMG, has taken Maybach’s “starter model,” under its wing to reshape it into the swan it knew it could be. The twin turbochargers blast the Maybach to 60 in under 5 seconds when utilizing the 612 horses and 738 lb.-ft. torque it has on tap. Interior and exterior style modifications have also been made to differentiate the vehicle from its less refined sibling, including ride height, 20 inch dubs, and fancier front and rear accessories.

orget the powerful Carrera GT; for those who want the ultimate performance from a new Porsche, there's a far more spectacular - and cheaper - solution. Say hello to the sensational Ruf RT 12, a 650bhp development of the legendary coupé that offers 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds and a 225mph top speed. Built by Alois Ruf jnr, whose family firm has been modifying and assembling fast Porsches in Germany since 1948, the car combines the strengthened body of a current 997-generation 911 Carrera with the 3.8-litre bi-turbo from the 996. The result is a machine which can out-accelerate a Carrera GT, but costs half as much. Admittedly, the £171,000 price is still far from cheap, but few cars match the RT 12 for punch-per-pound. As well as engine tweaks, the Ruf has a modified bodyshell, with a new nose and imposing carbon fibre rear wing. It rides millimetres from the tarmac, while Pirelli P Zero tyres and huge air intakes front and rear make it obvious at first sight that this is no 'ordinary' Porsche. Inside, drilled aluminium pedals and carbon fibre details set the cabin apart, while you have to negotiate a custom roll cage to get in. On the road, the stiffened suspension causes the car to weave over uneven surfaces. Yet with so much steering feedback, it feels stable. And it needs to be, as the twin turbos respond instantly to throttle inputs, giving ferocious pace. Yet as the Ruf is so capable, you never feel anything but totally confident in its abilities - so it's surprisingly relaxing to drive. Also, the 650bhp engine happily runs at low speeds, and the suspension can be adjusted automatically, lifting the car to clear speed bumps and potholes. Far from being just another modified 911, the RT 12 is as carefully developed as any official performance special. But as Ruf's history dates back to Porsche's beginnings, we'd expect nothing else.
