Heh, a 2 litre 3 series BMW over here goes for about 60,000 new...(about 36,000 US). :irked: And why exactly do Toyota Supra lick balls Shinez???
 
I actually like the BMW in GT3 and have three of them (in different colours of course).

One is a fully modified race car which handles really good (and sounds good), the other is a very slightly modified 'show car' and the other is a black 'Mafia' type car. :D

btw i voted for
toyota.gif


and this is fopr in the game ppl, IRL i dont like toyota much
there is no 328 compact ,the only compacts are the 318 TI and the 323 TI which is very fast
 
BMW all the way. Best engines in the world. Beautiful looking cars. German engineering. You need to win lottery to drive most of them. What more can you want? heh
 
I havent driven in many cars, although I am still pretty young. But I must say the best car I got to drive is a BMW 328i 1998. Mind you it only has 190 Hp, inline-6. But it doesnt matter where you are in the RPM range, that car goes as soon as you even touch the gas pedal. And they are so well balanced, and fun to drive. Everyone says they are too expensive. I say no ****! BMW is the ultimate driving machine :P
( If you think the McLaren F1 is fast.. take a look at the engine :) )

Ive also been in a rally Evo IV or V (only as passenger) That was crazy fast. 300 horses because that is the limit for rally. The car crushes you in your seat. I thought that was amazing considering its a 4 cylinder. ( I know its Turbo )

well that'd be a dumb reason to not like em..but it'd be a reason none the less..And I do have legitament reasons for not liking supra's
 
...And they would be...
 
1...It has sequential turbo's which isn't reliable..2...It's internal airflow isn't as great as it COULD be..seing as how it's a 3.0 Liter and all....3 it's an ugly car...4 it's sad that Stock Vs Stock the automatic version of the car is faster..:D:D:D...That's all the info I'd need to come up with a negative opinion on the supra..
 
2 ppl have voted for fiat, I am one... now who is the other?
 
I don't know..wE should make a pole on who is the biggest loser...Whoever comes in second to VING AND HIS FIAT OBSESSION...is the guy who voted..nyuck nyuck :lol::D:lol::D:lol::D
 
Uhh, I don't think it's ugly, wouldn't have a clue about one and two, and in four, maybe the guy who was driving might've preferred auto, any sources on 4?

umm.... you do that u lil' ferret! :p

and the loosers will be those who dont like the fiat :p
 
Dodge Viper...It's a proven fact that The Toyota Supra RZ model as in Twin Turbo 2jz-GTE yes that's a MKIV model supra.....Is faster in it's automatic form...stock for stock the 6 speed transmission weights almost 2 times as much as the Automatic transmission..I'd give you a direct source but I just looked for some and the only other info I got is sparse and few on both forum's and spec sites
 
Oh ok, but the automatic would cost about 2,000 more, so I'd still rather the manual. :D
 
From the dealer yeah, asside from the 02 Supra in which the Auto was the cheaper of the 2.......From people....depends
 
1. RX-7 has a rotary engine, which needs the bearings replaced every 70,000 miles - very expensive job... 2. RX-7 sucks oil like it's a hobby... 3. On the whole, the 3rd gen RX-7 (the FD) is not a terribly reliable car at all... :D:D:D... That's all the info I'd need to come up with a negative opinion on the RX-7.

Although I don't - I respect the car for what it is and what it does. I would love to own one, but would never be able to afford the bills - unlike the quicker Supra.
 
Getting the bearings replaced isn't Very expensive it depends on what garage you would go to...That is why you bring it to a garage that specializes in Rotary engines...AKA A place that builds Sandrails...Second
Sucking oil isn't a bad thing man.Oil's not that expensive as it is, and Supra's are also infamous oil hogs...and as for the FD3S..How is it not reliable as a whole car?...What do the wheels just fall off?..Has it been known to have the windows shatter without bring touched?...Then It could be a bad car...Otherwise, I don't see how it could be a bad car as a whole...
 
There's an '02 Supra??? :odd:
 
I wasn't comparing the RX-7 to the Supra - except when I said the car was held to be less reliable than the quicker Supra. The simple fact is you must rebuild the rotor every 70,000 miles (less if you abuse it), it drinks oil at a rate that even the Ferrari Enzo would blush at and is probably the least reliable of the Japanese quinumvirate of Supra, GTO, Skyline, RX-7 and NSX - this is from the Mazda main dealer's and a Japanese import specialist - "If you want a reliable car, don't have the RX-7 - it's a pure toy". I'm don't know why they are less reliable - could be the wheels DO fall off, and the windows DO shatter if you look at them (they do on an Impreza, if you leave it at your Subaru dealer's. Allegedly). But I don't know.

Did you read my second paragraph? Where I said I love the RX-7 and would love to own one? The fact remains however that while I could have afforded to run the Supra, I could not have afforded to run the RX-7. That shows that the RX-7 is a more expensive car to own.

IRL I'd say Ford. What type of car do you want? Well, there's a Ford that fits the bill. Try it.

That's an interesting point, and it actually swung my vote on the poll.

My favourite RL manufacturer is Audi. I think that they are producing some of the best-looking and best-engineered cars on sale today, and they have been consistently innovative. I don't know of any manufacturer who makes interiors to the quality of Audi. However, they are not the cheapest in the world, and I would have to say that the A3 is not the best Golf-based VW group product. They also lack presence up in the stratosphere, although I think I would gladly hand over all current and future wealth for an R8.

But, these are weaknesses, and there is another manufacturer that does have all the bases covered, and in many areas with superiority. That manufacturer, also on this poll, is Mercedes. True, the A-Class is a little rough, and it would be nice if we could bottom out exactly how much of the Smart is Mercedes. However, the C-Class coupe is a great car, as is the saloon. The E-Class is excellent too, and the S-Class is just about holding off the new A8 for top of the executive heap. The SL is one of the most lust-inducing cars currently on sale, and with the AMG versions, and the forthcoming SLR, things are getting hot up top too. They can also do you a decent line in MPVs, trucks, vans and SUVs, if you're into that kind of perversion.
 
I agree with MPVs, trucks, vans and SUVs being perversions :D And I agree that Audis are on the whole spectacular cars BUT Audi A2 anyone? 3 times the price of the same size Ford Ka, the Audi A2 is so unstable that if you turn the windscreen wipers on, the car rocks around underneath them (and this IS true). Okay, so it gets 70mpg... :D

The Smart is also highly pricey for what it is. I think the Ford Ka pretty much covers that sector of the market, although others are good and cheap, none are AS good or AS cheap. The Ka is based on the Mk4 Fiesta chassis, which means it doesn't half handle well to.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not Ford's biggest fan - but they do cover pretty much every base, and for not a lot of money (usually).

Anyway Giles, you just cheered me up. Thanks :D
 
I'm not trashing Ford - I have yet to drive a bad car made by them, and I've driven over 30 in my life, but I don't think that they're in the same league as Mercedes.

The A2 is an interesting one. I know people who work for Lotus who say it's the best car on the road... I have no personal experience of it though, so I can't make up my own mind.

Glad to have cheered you up! :)
 
I reckon that Holden Australia is my fave company in "value for money", whilst Dodge would only be my favourite company because I like the Viper, which is probably a dream, I could afford quite a few older Holdens, and the newer ones are good value for money...:)
 
WOOOO NISSAN IS WINNING....Of course Nissan is winning..Nissan kicks bootay...BOOTAY I tell you..Booooooo tay
