Lamborghini LP550 gets ready for its debut

The lambo will be less common that the ZR1 but I certainly wouldnt call the ZR1 a dime a dozen. It will definately stand out.

The Z06 on the other hand can blend in with other C6 Vettes if you don't know what you are looking for.

the pic of the zr1 looks like a normal vette with diffrent rims and hood....:wacko:

Detroit 2008: Corvette ZR1 chassis display - Autoblog

Just hit "control+F" and type leaf. #22 and #23 are your best vantage points. Not what one would think of as a traditional leaf spring, but there none the less. Also, its not that I don't like the car, you just have to make fun of it for being American. Its like George Bush at the G8 Summit. It doesn't fit in no matter how it tries.

I did know what I was talking about you rather small minded little man. The ZR1 does have leaf springs, and its okay to poke fun at a car. Whats your deal anyway? The juice going to your head?

You'd have to give me an example? Its just that people don't know what they are talking about, and somehow I am incorrect? And I get called a pussy because of it? Not cool. To take a comment about an inanimate object so seriously seems in poor judgment. To not voice his distaste of my response to him in a more mature manor also shows me disrespect. If he had mentioned something about my responses tone I would have apologized.

:dunno: I dont know why I was just guessing. your comment about people not knowing what they are talking about! sometimes it might be peoples opinions thoes cant be wrong. like your comment to me about me "pullin stuff outta my ass" you think you are right all the time. well sorry its my opinion that F-cars suck. so do BMWs, that dosnt make you or me right or wrong.

guys, calm down. i made this thread as a fun post to discuss a new car coming out, don't turn it into this. Chris, it has been said to you many times by many people here, you need to check your self a little bit in how you talk to people sometimes. you are a good guy and i get your sense of humor now but when you first came here i wanted to kick the piss out of you a few times. :P you do come across as talking down to people sometimes. you are smart enough to prove your point without doing that. try and work on that bro.

My absolute dream car.

2008 Porsche 911 GT2

With a stunning 530 turbocharged horsepower and the most revolutionary design in the industry, Porsche revealed its most powerful production 911 ever on September 11, 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the current 911 Turbo, the 911 GT2 will easily ascend to lead the impressive Porsche family of vehicles.

New features such as large air intakes at the front and the rear wing, coupled with the rear-wheel drive and manual six-speed gearbox, express the elite performance abilities that are exclusive to this outstanding model. This high-performance athlete accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top track speed of 204 mph.

530-Horsepower Twin-Turbo Engine

The power unit of the new 911 GT2 is based on the six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Turbo, with air supply driven by two exhaust gas turbochargers featuring variable turbine geometry (VTG). The 3.6-litre boxer engine achieves a maximum output of 530 (SAE) horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower from the previous 911 GT2. The power increase is provided by two turbochargers with a larger compressor wheel and a flow-optimized turbine housing raising turbocharger pressure to an even higher level.

Decreased Fuel Consumption

The new 911 GT2's expansion intake manifold, which uses oscillating air in the intake during the cooler expansion phase, keeps the temperature of the fuel/air mixture even lower than in the 911 Turbo. This results in a significant increase in all-round efficiency, with fuel consumption down by up to 15 percent under full load despite the increase in engine output. This is a genuine innovation for turbocharged power units.

Functional Design Features

A number of elements set the new 911 GT2 apart including the new achievements in emission management and control. This is the first Porsche homologated for the road to feature a muffler and tailpipes made of titanium as standard equipment. This expensive material reduces weight by approximately 50 percent vs. a comparable component made of stainless steel.

The new 911 GT2 comes as standard with PCCB brakes featuring brake discs made of a composite carbon fiber/ceramic compound ensuring highly consistent and maximum stopping power. Also standard is the electronically controlled Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system.

The GT2 comes on 19-inch light-alloy wheels filled with 235/35 ZR19 front sport tires and 325/30 ZR19 rear sport tires. It is scheduled to make its North American debut in early 2008 at a US price of $191,700.

Base Price: 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 - $191,700 / 189,496 € (last update: 10/15/2007)

When I responded to your Ferrari comment, it wasn't meant to be downward talking. Pulling it out of your ass was the wrong way to put it, rather I don't understand where people come up with this assertion. A lot of people judge cars before they get behind the wheel and that makes me so angry. A car like a Ferrari isn't one to judge unless you've driven it is all I was saying. I was even stating that I have limited knowledge in that realm because I have only ever driven one, which isn't a large sampling. However, my test results were different that many others.

As for your opinion on BMW's...well some opinions are just...for lack of a better word. Wrong. :P <-- Better?
