Picture of Your Car (2008)

[radiantm3]

Some updated images of my 1991 200.



I love this car, and it has proven to be a bit of a sleeper even to this day. All stock with the exception of 17" Borbet Type E wheels, European spec headlights, and 1992 Audi S4 seats (larger bolsters, narrower base, and adjustable thigh supports) and a replacement for the stock exhaust system.

Audi imported under 1,500 of these in sedan form, and less than 500 in a wagon. It was only available in a manual, and with Quattro (AWD) in 1991. Car and Driver tested these out at 15.2 in the 1/4 with a top speed of 149 MPH. Not bad for a turbocharged 2.2 liter 20v 5 cylinder engine rated at 217 HP in 1991!

More detailed specifications on these cars can be found here.




Thanks, it is good fun!

That's quicker than the A4's from just a few years ago.

I hate him to... He should stay out of the car section. My question is, do you plain to keep those wheels on the Land Rover?

Please put the Rover in the trails once and a while, they look pretty with a little mud!

Never gonna get one of those comments from me I love anything Land Rover (except the Freelander and LR2, those are just too half assed IMO)

Hmmm... now that you put it that way, yeah I'm guessing GM had finally worked all the kinks out by the time they killed it.

Here's another pic of my car; nothing different from last time I posted.

Hey, awesome upgrade. I wouldn't mind a nice STS myself. All the GM G-Bodies were sweet cars.

Once I'm bored with my '01 LHS, I'll get a 300C or a Challenger. God do I miss driving now that I'm in college... I so look forward to those weekends when I can hit the highway for a precious few hours:

Thanks! I love it to death... just took a good 'ol drive on some backroads and the car still shocks me. Though it's FWD, it handles pretty damn good. The one to get is the '03 with the Magneride Suspension (same one from the Corvette). Handles so much better than mine, and the struts don't cost $500 apiece when 100k miles come around.

You're LHS is gorgeous. That design is still very modern and classy today, and IMO looks much nicer than the current Chrysler cars. Speaking of 300C, I've driven one myself and they are deceptively fast. Didn't expect that much power from the car.

My girlfriend has a 2008 Honda Fit that she got in February of this year. Turns out it's actually the same as the 2009 Honda Fit being released outside of Japan very soon. Very weird. It was like being in the future.

 

[umcalk]

lol~~~ great car... i wanna get one....

An uncle of mine has an '02 STS, and yes, for FWD, it can pull through the twists with surprising sure-footedness. As for the 300C's being fast, yes, they are. A stock Hemi C will run the quarter at about 14 seconds flat. Pretty great for a car of its size (and price).

I appreciate the kind words per the LHS - no one can believe she's 8 years old. The LH cars have held up very well style wise, they just have a certain presence about them. I dream of a coupe version:

...I guess the closest I'll get is a self produced sketch!

Yep I think it was the only non "S" car that can achieve those numbers until you got to the 2.7T A6 (Twin turbo 2.7L V6) and the 4.2L A6.

Spent the weekend Autocrossing the Passat. Was planning on taking the GTI out, however I need to install control arm bushings, and a wheel bearing onto the GTI. I think the Rabbit would have done a bit better as it was a fast, but narrow setup for this weekend. First time autocrossing in years!.

After owning my previous car for 10 years, I figured it was time for an upgrade.

 

[twistedlegato]

^^^^^

More shots please?

Sure thing.

Sorry for the pic sizes

The thing I really dislike about Porsche is that their entire model lineup has looked the same for decades. The cheapest model is extremely similar looking to the most expensive models. I'm also not keen on the front end of these cars looking like VW Beetles.

I can't comment on how they perform or handle though.

 

[backsidetailsli]

yeah ive never been a fan of porsche

They call it "frog" styling

They sure do drive realllll nice though.

Very nice. My mom has an 07 Sport HSE. I love that car though I do prefer the real Range Rovers. I've got to say though, those wheels are hideous. Go find the stock ones and put them back on, they'll look a lot better. Reliability has been better than other LR's we've owned. Basically the only issue has been a door lock and it got 14mpg solid which turned out to be bad 02 sensors.

I have a 2000 Discovery. I love it but its nothing like driving the Range Rover Sport.

Hopefully we'll ditch our Touareg and get an LR3 or a used Range Rover. The Touareg is a great car aside from its atrocious reliability (and the GPS is pretty bad too).

2009 Honda Fit Sport Manual Transmission. Awesome car!

wow, the new fit looks great

 

[neiltc13]

Is a manual box really that rare where you guys live that you need to list it as being part of the car?

Here it goes without saying a car has a manual box unless it explicitly says auto.
