And I'll be that guy. You're a pansy.

I'll be that guy that officially revokes your man card for speaking such blasphemous words.

Oh I know... I brought two cars over this way. I lucked out on the first one, which was a BNR32 with an Auction Grade "R", and ended up being an ex-Wangan car, with a NISMO Omori serviced BNR34 V-Spec II RB26, and all its records (which would have been mandatory to grade it) under the seat stuck in the rails. But the

Yes, please compare a huge spoiler stuck on an old 240sx made in a barn with state of the art racing cars made in labs which actually have air tunnels.

The naming convention goes back to the very early days of Ferrari when the number signified the cubic capacity of one cylinder of the engine. All the V12's two seater cars upto the 365 Boxer used it and the 2+2 V12's used it up to the 456. Was also used on the race cars regardless of cylinder count in the 50s. First

The NSX targeted 458 Italia's performance, and just as it's supposed to come out, Ferrari moved the target up... So what does that mean for Honda?

That front end looks so much better than the 458´s mustache or the 458 speciale´s dental brace. But I´m kinda dissapointed. It seems Ferrari has taken the Audi route of designing. This feels more of a facelift than a whole new model (a la 430 -> 458).

Y'all got any more of that downforce?

Do I even have to tell the story? We all know millions were spent, Ford risked it all against the racing ban in Detroit at the time and Nadar's Unsafe at Any Speed, finally Ferrari was the unbeatable juggernaut at Le Mans. This car was a huge gamble. Luckily it was a huge success.

"blinded by the exhaust..."

well thank ya!

Excuse me sir. Well thought out and concise comments are not allowed here, please leave.

It loses 12hp and gains 8 ft-lbs of torque over the outgoing model, but most are forgetting the damn thing shed well over 200 pounds. If they beefed up and flattened the torque curve across the powerband, this thing is going to be quite a bit quicker than the NC it's replacing.

Hummer H2.

As much as people love to hate this car. I really think it´s the greatest car conceived in the 2000´s. It was groundbreaking in so many ways. I remember a period when this was the only thing the automotive branch talked about. It had 10 radiators, active aero etc etc. People said that 1000hp was way too much for a

The Boxster would be better than the 356 replica in every way –

You found the rare one. Cherish it. Protect it. I tried to find one in 1999/2000. Each and every GSX I looked at was beat to death. Just rung out husks of their former selves. Leaks, dents, cracked seals and messed up interiors. I ended up with a 97 GS-T as the next best thing. It was a great, fun little car.
