How is a 6600rpm+ red line 7l V8 a "lazy" engine?
I wish people would discuss from a point of knowledge rather than a point of view... :roll: And as for handling- I LOVE it when this discussion comes up, and I am running around on the 2001 version of the leaf spring with 11" wide rear tyres... and am able to hold my own very well thank you... the extra inch in tyre width will aid in putting the power down and generating even more insane levels of grip. :) |

2) Why do we have to go over the HP thingy over and over again. HP is a rating of work done...thus, distance is part of the equation. The fact that Ferrari engine has a higher RPM will mean that it will for sure produce more HP/L. It is torque over the rev band that matters in acceleration. 3) I really don't know the efficiency, but I am quite sure that this block will sustain more abuse than the Ferrari for sure. |
well, it officially has broken cover! cant waite for another 12 days or so until NAIAS!!!!

I hope some one has a pop-up headlight mod and an FRC replacement for the ugly hatch-back glass..... :)

The car looks a whole lot better than its predecessor. For some reason though the front reminds me of a ferrari, maybe its the lights.

I actually liked the older one better. I liked it wider and lower. It looks taller and narrower now (at least the back). The headlights are really the only part I don't like...reminds me more of the Mitsu 3000GT than a Modena...

I don't spend to much time in this section, so not sure if these high-res pics are new or not but I'll give you the link anyway:
