That thing is awesome. 2012 has unlimited launch control (as long as the tranny is cool enough) right?

God that is such a beautiful car. I'm going to be a little sad getting into my Z after drooling over this haha. Some day I'll own one. Some day.

Super cool car, but they are absolutely MASSIVE. Is it brand new with 0 miles or slightly used?

I didn't know that, actually. It makes sense, but it's weird and seems like a strange compromise.

I had this sitting around in my garage collecting rust: My son was driving this:  My Son decided he wanted a Firebird. We traded my truck for his lincoln. Then we traded the truck for the black Firebird in this pic. Then I got fired up looking for parts and such for his. So I ended up buying/trading the Lincoln for the blue one.  I loved it. Unfortunately it was the V6 and while it was peppy I wanted the LS1. So I sold it and bought this.  It's a 99 Z28. Its still in amazing condition. simreal fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Apr 11, 2013 |

I hope you post more pictures and videos when you get a chance. The R35 has always been one of my favorite vehicles and I was hoping that someone in here would get one eventually.

Should be delivered next week. I'll do a video of a launch and my subsequent crashing into a light pole ASAP.

Comrade Flynn posted:I moved to Seattle where it rains quite a bit. Neato, now I'll know who to  I'm not sure about Seattle but oddly enough they're pretty uncommon on the east side despite all the money in the area, I guess the R35 doesn't exude the amount of 'look at me!' that the rich techies go for these days (which doesn't make sense, techies drool over the R35)? I've only seen a single white R35 being driven around the east side by some kid who looks like he just got out of high school, lucky guy. In case you're unfamiliar with the area you should look at the Bremerton Auto Club to get signed up for some pretty chill AutoX events, they're a cool group that a fellow goon turned me on to.

On the topic of GTR's - I mentioned a while back I was taking mine to an event in WA called Racewars. That was last weekend so I've got some things to show you guys. This is my car, so it goes in this thread:   I'll chuck up some more stuff in the awesome AI thread a bit later, but for a sample:

Yes, a Fast and Furious joke. But really, if you're running a big drag event out in the middle of nowhere what else are you going to call it? I've posted a couple of pictures and videos in the awesome thread now if you want a look.

Well you can console yourselves by looking at the pictures and videos I posted in the other thread... It was an amazing event, especially considering this is the first year its been run. The only thing that went wrong was this 1000+hp Monaro rolling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlEOSjmOMTY The driver and passenger were ok (walking at least), but flown to Perth for observation. If you've got any questions or comments about the event ask me here (or misc. chat?), save making GBS threads up the pictures thread.

I'm pretty young around these parts of the forum at age 20 so this is still my first car. Been loving it so far, I just cannot enjoy driving any car newer than the 80's for some reason. An '87 Volvo 760 GLE V6 sold to me by a big Volvo fan who used the money to buy and restore a 240.

That's a great first car. I didn't even know Volvo made a V6 though, so I had to look it up. Huh, how about that.

Figured out who you were from the timing sheets. Anyway I suppose I'll finally post my car here.
