Best I can get to atm from work... 2005 Pontiac GTO. Best pass to date is a 11.551@117.28mph full weight with a 330lb driver and that was with the bottle in the trunk closed :X. Dyno'd 450rwhp/419rwtq on motor through a stalled automatic. Put down 542rwhp on the bottle which is about 50hp short of where I expected, had some tuning and fuel issues so we aborted doing more pulls. It currently needs a new transmission. Hoping to see a mid 10's pass come 2012.

It's unbelievable how much better that 5th Gen looks with just a small amount of lowering. I guess that pretty much goes for most cars, but I think the current Camaro is a nice looking design, but it's hard to look past the 4x4 stance
We have a T4R too, Limited, AWD, V8, Nav/JBL, pretty much every option, Class IV towing setup. It's been pretty much perfect so far.

Woah, sweet car (Alfa Romeo)! That thing looks sick. Never seen one before. Wish we had cars like that in America!

2 great cars.
How do you like the Alfa?I have a Mito and I'm in love with it...I imagine a spider...
Nicosia Cyprus..
Yeah the spider is a nice car. Makes you feel different than any other car i ve drove. Bad thing the weather started getting bad lately here so cant enjoy some top down driving. And it could really use some more power.
Thats nice but i am in love with The 4c. Hopefully it will make it into production with that looks/weight/power that they say it will. And rwb of course..

Just traded my old work car in on a new little run-about which I picked up on Friday night, such a fun little car to drive around in.
Photos taken at the dealership before taking delivery of the car with my iPhone, so not the best photos.

Finally got a more or less permanent replacement for the Saturn L300 I had from 2000-2009 (had a beater '87 Volvo in the interim until it finally died...)
Purchased from my brother, here's my (new) 2007 Hyundai Tucson with about 41k miles. Runs great, gas mileage is a lot better than my Saturn (it was V6, this one's a 4 cyl), and I use the Shiftronic from time to time for a little extra "get up and go" (Yeah, I'd rather have a 5 speed, but this was a great deal for me, so I'm not complaining...)

The Mistubishi Looks like a 3000gt kinda but isn't the FTO a FW drive only car?

Snip other pics
I used to want a 180sx so badly when I lived in the UK! (S13 like that, just with a 1.8l turbo engine). Does the 240sx come with an LSD?
I rented a Dodge Challenger a couple of weeks ago and kind of fell for the 5.7l hemi. Maybe I'll get a Charger R/T as a family car though... It's fuel economy seemed to be pretty good. We don't need to drive often, but when we do it tends to be to Vermont or further out on Long Island...

Wicked cars, I love the way Alfas look now.. Hopefully they make their way into north america one day. I always likes the FTO, just a shame they were so slow.
Yeah the FTO is FWD and not that fast. They do look wicked though.The Mistubishi Looks like a 3000gt kinda but isn't the FTO a FW drive only car?

Another DSMer here. I just got rid of all my DSMs and parts last winter.. Driving an 06 civic now. Reliable, but not fun. I find my self looking on DSM forums for a good DSM for sale all the time. Really tempted to get another.
We're going to go look at a '11 WRX STI tomorrow, for the wife! She has this thing about wanting one. Isn't there like a rule against the wife having the badest-ass car in the family.

SWMBO/The Financial Controller/Minister of Finance (etc) always gets the best things
My wife claimed our highly modified '99 WRX for a couple of years, it's now back as a weekend car thankfully.Your wife will love the STI though, they've come a long way
It's OK if she gets one. I'm next and I get a 1-series M or a Cayman S.SWMBO/The Financial Controller/Minister of Finance (etc) always gets the best things

I will have to get her in a car control clinic. I've done plenty of track days, but she never has. Come to think of it, when I had my M3 it was a WRX STI that gave me hell on the track.
The s13's here in the U.S. didn't come with a 1.8T engine that is a Ca18 which was from 89-91, then they had the SR20det which is a 2.0L turbo engine. In the U.S. they came with KA24DE (which mine has) which is a 2.4L NA engine. I am planning on doing either a SR20det or a RB25det (skyline engine) swap, after I buy a 350z and keep the 240 to build and drift.
AS for a LSD no they did not; mine has a Open Differential but the Super HICAS model did come with a LSD. And that is a 240sx/180sx history lesson lol
As for a charger, they are pretty good cars but I would recommend checking out a Cadillac CTS V. A close friend of mine just bought one and it is amazing. Fast as hell decent on gas and has good space. They might be a little bit more than a Charger though.
Yeah I really miss my eclipse it was allot of fun to drive. It was just a Gs with the 420a engine though. I totaled it out about 2 years ago when I hit someone going 70mph thankfully no one was hurt. I liked the DSM scene but I will say my 240 is a better car in every way compared to my eclipse. Faster, handles better, sounds better, RWD, easy to get it sideways lolz. Also the 240/Drifting scene has been treating me right.

Tough choice. I say Cayman S. Just because it's a Porsche AND because the interior is IMO fantastic.
