I honestly think they fubared the new GTO.  But when I finally saw it and reviewed it, I wasn't impressed.


I've not seen an Aston Martin on the road. There is a dealership in Nyack, but they have nothing but BMW's in the display window, and I'm not about to walk inside.

There was a mercialleago on the road near my house though, damn rich NYers...

And Vipers don't impress me. When I lived in Florida, I saw one almost every other day. I know I sound repetetive, but the only car that makes me excited is the 1999 3000Gt. If it were VR-4, it's be AWD, AWS, and have Active Aerodynamics, which is sweet, cuz the rear wing will shift postition at 55Mph. :D

Again, this is just me.

Also, I agree the GTO isn't sporty looking, but I like it, for one reason or another. But then again, I like things noone else here does...*looks away*

A one-of-a-kind, jet engine car that can go 4 miles without running out of gas, made for short, bursts of speed, is obviously not the kind of car we're talking about... so that's why i posted a picture of a blackbird... just to humor Thunder.  I'm making ajoke.  figures you'd have to take it seriously, being a car expert and all

EDIT:  IN that case, if you want to compete, try beating a Kawasaki Ninja (it's a motorbike, but hey, it's got wheels, so it must be a car, right!!!???)...  0 - 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds.


By being pedantic, you are only increasing the likely hood of being mocked for your foolishness. Really, i can see why people flame you now.

Ok ok, calm down please guys - my posting Thrust SSC was generally meant as a joke since everyone was going through the whole "my car is faster than yours" shinnanigans. Hard to beat the fastest land vehicle in the world. Hence me posting it.

Anyhow, enough... lets get back to whatever the point of the thread is (tanks apparently at the moment... not sure how that happened!)

LOL Thunder, i was just kidding.  you think i was serious when i posted the blackbird? :D ;) :)  It's just annoyances like zeronet that have to poke their noses in.

Oh and zeronet, quit being a dumass.  the only people that flame me are Stryke, an0n, and Knight_Templar, and you know that i don't care what any of them say.  

"pedantic"?  damn man, use some proper English.  what do you think we are here, professors? :D ;)

Lol, I mentioned the video w/ the jet fighter to kinda defend Stealth's posting of the Blackbird, but that didn't quite work out :)

Oh, and CelestialOne, that's not a camera in the tank barrel.  That's really a soap bubble.  Tanks today blow soap bubbles at their targets!

There's a car dealership up the street from where I live called The Collection that's is like one city block big.  It's completely enclosed by a glass window, but behind that window is the most beautiful collection of cars I've ever seen.  One on side, they have all the Ferrari's parked just glinting in the gallery.  On the other side they have Porches, and between them they have the Aston Martin's.  You keep on walking down the sidewalk and your greeted with the most beautiful collection of Lotus'.  The place just continues on.  Everytime I have to drive by there I always slow down to look at the gallery (cuz that's what it basically looks like, an art gallery).  

Look at the website and you'll see they have every single exotic car possible.  And supposedly, if they don't have it they will order it for you.

One of the owners of the company I work for bought that Porsche SUV.  He had to order it and it hasn't been delivered yet.  I don't like Porsche too much, not a big fan of them, but I wanna see that car from the inside.

You mean how Mitsubishi prodused the 'Zeros' that attacked Pearl Harbor? I knew that, but that's in the past.

There's also the Flag of Texas there too.

I read, Nissan is interested in selling the skyline in america, but possibly under the Infiniti name badge...  Not that I care, I want an FTO. :p
