  1. Porsche owns about 70% of VW. VW owns Bentley, Audi, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat. :) So...Porsche is linked with Seat and Skoda. :)

     

    Well since you read autoblog so much, i figured you would know that Porsche does not own about 70% of VW. They own 50.4%. Do your research Koenigsegg...

  2. Urm, Shy Guy, I don`t think that there`s any point in your post expept for starting another argument for the cars you posted. Please, stop it, argument yourself or don`t say anything. ;)

     

     

    Well I don't think there is a purpose for anything you post...ever. But I normally try to keep my mouth shut about it until you make stupid comments like this

  3. The Koenigsegg is the fastest by means of top speed. However, show it a left or right turn, and pray to God that you have air bags.

     

    The best over-all car to have is the Saleen S7. It is the fastest accelerating, has a high-enough top speed, and will beat any car around 90% of the tracks on the game.

  4. As much as I love the V-Spec too, you're absolutely right, there is no way in hell it's worth an extra $100,000. V-Specs have always been just a tiny bit more expensive than the normal Skylines; this isn't a traditional V-Spec, this is the price of a Nismo R-Tune or something.

     

    Nowone will buy one with that price tag, not even me if I was a millionaire.

     

    EDIT: And you hate the GT-R why, may I ask? Because it gave the Corvette a challenge?

     

    No, and it doesn't.

     

    I hate this car because it is over-rated, over-priced, and ugly. Japan builds a sports car and the world turns upside down for no reason in my opinion. The interior looks cheap. The outside looks ugly. They cheated on their 'Ring time. They don't even put the over-glorified launch control under warranty. And now they add $100,000 to the base price for adding some carbon-fiber parts and cheap-looking wheels.

     

    P.S. the ZR1 will beat the GTR V-spec for about $40,000 less. The Z06 is just about perfect competition for the GTR for about $5,000 less, better mpg, a better warranty, and more avaliability.

  5. Escalade Hybrid? They need to learn how to rework the transmission before they go on with that! It decides too much about what gear to be in!

     

    this is a statement based upon the Top Gear review of the Cadillac XLR I am assuming. If so, you should be aware that the XLR and Escalade use different transmissions. Not only that, but the Escalade Hybrid cannot really be critiqued because it should really not exist. Cadillac had no intentions to build a hybrid model of any of their SUVs but were sort of forced too to make Green Peace and the EPA happy. The hybrids are not selling well and are not meant too.

  6. Totally agreed.

     

    Many people take Jeremy Clarkson's word to be law, which is not a good idea.

     

    Mr. Clarkson has his TV show because he loves to di it and make quite good money doing so. He does wonderful reviews of cars and does very extensive reviews on them. But when it comes down to it, what he says about the car is not what the manufacturer said, not what the market said, and most of the time, not even what his co-hosts said. Everything he says his his opinion and should not be taken so seriously

  7. I watched this live on tv when he did it.

     

    It's jus too bad that the media are too dang stupid and over-exaggerating.

     

    First of all, it could not be 120 feet because the building he jumped on to was only 96 feet tall. To top that off, the ramp was something like 54 feet high or something. So he only really jumped around 40 feet. Where these people got that crazy number at is beyond my conprehension, but I guess exaggeration is that best way to drawl attention...

  8. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    that is purely priceless!

     

    they forced you to do it? yeah, heard that one before.

     

    If they had forced you, you would have never taken a picture. But to top it off...you posted it on a forum for thousands to see! HA!

  9. Got another one..

     

    Found one who says he knows "5 or 6" programmers from TDU and has them on his friends list. He apparently plays with them on a regular basis. But the hardest thing to believe is what he said about them. That being that all the programmers he knows are American. When I asked him where the game was developed his reply was "Well we never really disgusted that, but I am guessing in both America and Japan." And of course, as with most people, when I asked him, he said it was some sort of confidentiality. Also claims he can beat any car in the game with a Mercielago as long as he uses his steering wheel because it "turns up the sensitivity and makes the car go faster around corners."

     

    I swear it never gets old...

  10. wow...how long have we known this? lol

     

    and the Veyron would still be faster if it wasn't limited, which it is.

     

    and neither of them can still compare to the McLaren F1. The McLaren is the only one who deserves the title since it is still the only one of the fastest cars with a naturally aspirated engine. The rest of them need like a butt load of turbos to get them to that speed.
