Car nuts.... a little fun today

Just got home from the Speedway to get a diet pepsi some nutrition and was parked next to a guy driving a pristine Lamborghini Jalpa. Jaw dropping. 

Then on the way back to the house there were 3 convertible vintage Thunderbirds heading the other way. August in Detroit + Good Weather = Time to Cruise. 

You can get 2 GTRs for the price of a 911T. GTR(Godzilla) is often called a playstation because the computers do everything. It makes ok drivers look godlike. Good if you're getting paid to win though. 0-100 because of the launch, awd, traction is unreal.

What upgrades can you put on a GT-R to make it faster than a Veyron? I know the GT-R is an awesome car but I did not think that there was anything else that could be done to it. The GT-R though is the best bang for your buck as far as a super car (maybe?) will go. But a million dollar 1100 hp Veyron should be the dream of any car lover.

One of my favorite "lowly" cars is a Supra. I had a friend who had a double turbo charged Supra that would blow my 66 Mustang away. That car was insanely fast and my 66 had a 450 in it making it look like a matchbox toy on the line.

It cracks me up because I see Godzilla in our local Nissan Showroom.  One time I cruised the parking lot and there were actually 2 of them.  We don't really live in a big town so I've never seen any around (except for one with out-of-state plates) they probably trade with other dealers.  

My cousin has a modded Z32 (last body style twin trubo 300Z) that pulls 700hp on the chassis dyno.  He has raced just about everything on a roll, and the GT-R really gave him a run.

It is all too much for me, I'll stick to my low mileage unmolested CRX Si hoping that it will be worth something someday.  I bought it for $1500 and I see ones in similar shape going for $6000.

You'll probably hate me and my neighbor

yeah, you suck.

i came about 2 inches from getting side-swiped by a R8 last weekend coming home from dinner about 9pm.  an older gentleman and his not so older female passenger was swerving all over the road at varying speeds.  i went to pass him in my 7yr old nissan altima and he almost put me in the ditch.  i honked and gave him the finger and then he hammered the gas and took off.  it was fast.  although, i was secretly hoping he would have hit me so i could offer up a trade. i figured we could just swap cars and i would agree not to call the cops on his drunk as$.  o whell.

yeah, you royally suck.

a good read.  My buddy picked up his ZL1 in may

I work at a Mercedes-Benz/BMW/Cadillac dealership. We get some cool stuff to look at here. We are also the only high end dealer in town so we get a few Porsche, Ferrari's , etc. here for service as well.

Then I get in my 1997 Ford Taurus and drive home...

I drive a Mazda CX5 crossover.  I believe it's 0-60 time is approximately 27 minutes if I use high octane fuel.

I've always loved the Dodge Viper's though so I've got permission to get one when the kids move off to college... can't wait

The new SHO models are pretty ballsy.

lol, that reminds me of a funny story back in high school.  I had a pretty cherri'd out 1980 Z-28 Camaro.  This brand new 1990ish Taurus SHO pulled up next to me and wanted to race.  I kind of laughed at him, but wasn't one to back down from a race.  Lets just say after about 10 seconds I didn't see anything but his tail lights about a block ahead of me.  My ego was crushed.
