I'll see your Jaguar XKR and raise you a Jaguar XKR LMGT2... :)

Is it the same ZF 6 speed auto in the race car as in the road car?
Hah hah! I don't know much about how it's equipped. That got started so late they won't make the race today. They've only managed to do a few shakedown/demo laps since arriving Thursday afternoon. I think they are here (Petit Le Mans @ Road Atlanta) mostly for the media coverage. I guess they'll start a regular season in ALMS next year.

510 hp is nice but I can't get the built in iPod integration working properly yet - and Jaguar say you are supposed to disconnect it when you leave the car which is not great. I have a dedicated iPod classic for use in the car. With previous cars, I would only ever disconnect it to sync with iTunes occasionally - and not even touch it in the meantime since it's hidden away. More experimentation needed :rolleyes:

Yeah. It's not brilliant. To be honest, the Bluetooth phone in them doesn't seem to work well either. You had any problems with that?

Wow...that looks like an RE Amemiya FD widebody. If that's real, that is super $$$$. I was thinking of getting one for my FC a while ago but I moved on to AWD from RWD. GC Impreza FTW :cool:

Are you looking at the same picture?

That is a terrible widebody conversion.

Yep, it's a real one. :) My buddy calls the car his "wife", lol. I have to grab a picture of it with the newer bigger rims on it to do it some justice. His brother is a big Impreza fan, raced a STi Wagon for a while on the autox.

Are you reading the same post?

or did you just look at the picture?

the OP stated that the picture was taken before the right rims were installed so it looks weird.

That is a terrible hack job of a widebody. What makes it look good?

Nothing looks oem.

Don't be silly, we all know you've never driven a car.

So, now i'm not allowed to comment on my own experience? :( So, i've been in one, had the experience!?! You guys just can't take a little jealously can you? :mad:

Then turn it off and watch the wheels go wheeeeee.

Hahah yeah, it's not that easy I think!

That's the point of traction control...:rolleyes:

Yeah, you really think i'm that stupid don't you. :rolleyes:
