Magnum SRT-8 is totally for the freakin win. with a 6spd manual I'd rock that thing every day (i'd need a miata in the garage as well though.

I feel bad for the chinese designers.. maybe it's just a different culture or something but I just don't see any appeal to those cars. Really poorly designed, at least in terms of looks.

Sorry all but I have to show some love for the 08 Lexus IS-F. I do not car if its a autotragic!

 

[tekkie]

[Kansei]

well I know where to get 4 of them and if they have the same bolt pattern as the Saab 9-3 Aero they will fit your car lmao

trust me, it's not cultural. i'm chinese, and i think they're fugly as hell. they can only steal so many design cues from other makes, you still need some original creativity in putting it all together nicely.

i wonder if those things will even pass minimum US safety regulations right now.

Tekkie, I notice you were smitten with the girl the Lambo was modeling hahah

STi Rally car = wow-we!!!! lol

The "F" badge on the IS is muy grande! I suppose it's in keeping with the rest of the over the top nature of the car.

The toyota hybrid sports car thing and lexus lf-a look like sting ray from the front end.
This thing is AWESOME hahahah

 

[tekkie]

yeah that thing reminded me of the car Homer Simpson invented lmao

 

[Kansei]

omg I want that orange car so much! I'd rock that up to 50mph where it reaches it's aerodynamic limit haha

 

[wannabe]

i was just looking at the rims on ths ft-hs. those are cool as hell.

 

[tekkie]

yeah they are made of CF from the look of it, they looked amazing
