  1. You must be crazy calling the Cadillac Seville ugly, one of the hottest cars of all time, especially in diesel form. How bout the top poser cars of all time: 2001 - Present Mercedes C230 The flagship car for a recent Alabama A&M graduate. My personal opinion for the reason this car became so popular is b/c of Kanye's line "He gonna make it up to a Benz out of that Datsun". Jaguar X-Type - Ford Mondeo in a Ball gown. Ferrari 308/328 - Many uninformed men (many times recently divorced) making 60k a year pick these up for $25k thinking, but are hit with the harsh truth when they take them in for a tune up and receive a $15k bill... 2007-Present Cadillac Escalade on 17s - They have a 50k base price and the 22s are a whopping 2k option. Enjoy your base Escalade, poser. Hummer H2s - Often strapped with every chrome accessory available from a JC Whitney catalog these vehicles lose their value quicker than Madonna lost her virginity. Let's call a spade a spade, nice HD Suburban. Dodge Ram SRT-10 4 door - Yes they have the Viper motor, but with their weight problem and sloppy automatic they can be outrun by any pecker-head in his SRT-4 Neon. 1978-1984 POS - These years are a very low time in our Country's history and the POS was right there with it. Any POS that makes under 200hp, Lord. 80s Chrysler TC by Maseratti - I don't know how or why this car was ever made, really. Cadillac Cimarron - Cavalier with a Caddy Symbol on it. Alas, it did have the extra "Low Washer Fluid" warning light!!! Harley Davidson - Pretty much every one besides the V-rod. Perfect for middle aged men who want the illusion of being a bad ass. With the reliability and technology of a Yugo, these machine's resale value startles me more and more every year.
  2. Get one of the Japanese 600s and ride it for 6 months or so. Then when you're used to it, get an R1 because they are rolling perfection. Of course, there's always the V-twins.
  3. "Birfdays was the worst days, now we drink champagne when we thirstays" "Come on baby when we bone its on, its so strong bitches in the next room will cum"
  4. The X3 shouldn't be in comparison with the others. The escalade is my top choice as well. The old X5 mentioned earlier is the 4.8 model. Looks nice, but might as well go with a new vehicle.
  5. That guy needs to put some curve in those trans gears. My ears are bleeding.
  6. It even did it on the link.
  7. Have you sat inside the new GM trucks? Though they come with a great drivetrain, my opinion on the Toyota trucks is that they have one goofy looking dashboard, and the outside styling is not up to par either. Since Toyota just has the Tundra, they are kinda flirting with HD territory (2500 trucks) with this drivetrain setup. GM will have it's next generation 2500 and 3500 trucks available in the summer that will take care of the 6-spd trans. option and I'm sure GM could tune the 6.0L up to Tundra levels, if not there is always the 6.2L. Not to mention the Duramax. Though, it will be interesting if/when Toyota jumps on the HD bandwagon.
  8. Or get your heads flowing right and slap a couple of turbos on it. Don't forget a custom intake as well... Nice ride nonetheless.
  9. The 997TT uses variable geometry turbos... They can change the angles of their vanes over the RPM range to help out spoolup (dramatically as you can see) and top end. I think it will be VERY interesting to see what tuners can get out of these turbos with an ECU reflash (assuming that the turbos are controlled by the ECU). Yep. That's the reason the Porsche's Turbos are making a good amount of torque down low.
  10. I believe this has to do with the forced induction. Kindof like the E55 makes ridiculous torque at low, low rpms as well. The Zen 06's motor is more of a high rpm screamer, built to make power in the upper rpm range. You could change out the cam play with the head flow, slap a turbo or better yet a roots type supercharger on it and make your low rpm torque just like the 997 if one wanted to go that route...
