Supercars

Posted by mikathegreat2 , 06 July 2007 · 71 views

Everybody here likes & loves cars! Muscle cars, race cars, supercars, modified cars, kit cars, sports cars etc, but what I like is the power & acceleration of cars. Take Caterham for examle. They have abour 250 bhp & a top speed of 150 mph but the amount of torque they produce is amazing & it's all from a straight 4-cylinder engine. 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds!
These are my 5 favourite cars from around the world:

No.5:

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34:

Welcome to the TF1 blogosphere! Good car choices. I especially like the Skyline. Too many rice tuners take that car and rice it out, but it's really an elegant, sporty little coupe! Too bad I can't get one here in the states....erg.

Koenninsegg CCX (I spelled that wrong with a passion) is awesome.  Nice first entry.  Nice cars.  Of them, I've only driven the Vette.  A lot of fun.

Thanks Andres! The thing is there was many cars to choose from like the Bugatti Veyron & the Murciélago & so on so I left out a few greats!

The 'vette was a good entry. Some of these cars fail to impress in person but the 'vette looks sexy no matter what angle you see it....except maybe the headlights, but aside from that...

It took me 30 secs to figure out what a 'Vette was but yeah, the Z06 is lovely & can run out it's own fuel (provn by Jeremy Clarkson).
