Where i live you are lucky if you see a Ferrari or a Porsche once or twice a year....so getting to drive a exotic is out of the question.

The best i have driven is a '99Subaru WRX STi a couple of weeks ago when i almost traded my Primera on one.

The power and handling left mine for dead.
Have to get one soon i think :) :)

My daily driver is a 92 Corvette. Compared to the other cars that are on the road it's far superior performance wise.

I drove a 2000 Corvette M-6, but not enough to know it. It's a better car of course than mine. I just can't afford it thats all.

It was a friend of my dad's that owned it, then his buisness went under, so he had to sell it to make ends meet, now he drives a VW Golf, He went from driving a huge vehical to a tiny car, now thats gotta suk

I grew up in a pretty... affluent area. I worked at a gas station accross from an exotic car dealership and saw about 4 billion amazing cars a day. I've driven my friends girlfriends dads '91 911 Turbo, a Lotus Caterham 7 (170hp/1200lb car), my moms '01 Jetta 1.8T, a very modified '92 Mustang GT, and ridden in my friends dads '98 BMW 540i. I got to drive the lotus a few days ago, the friend who owns it also has a '96ish 3000GT VR4 which is his daily driver. I can not even compare driving the Lotus to any other car, it literally sits low enough that you can reach out and touch the ground while driving.

I was in the top ten so I got a tour of their formula 1 factory, their F1 roadcar factory and saw them on the production line and then had a ride round their test track in the £650,000 roadcar (K8 MCL) :D

When was this? cause their production line was only 100 cars
and it's not really even a production line they worked on about 2 cars at a time.... in the one top gear video (for the Mclaren) they showed the so called production line and it was just a couple cars, it looked almost like a normal room with some tools around, and people were working on them

btw for me now (because of recent drives) Lamborghini Diablo and Ferrari 360 Modena :)
The Ferrari was one of my dad's business partner's cars

Ive driven nothing exotic but a few interesting older cars.

1949 MG TC
1955 MG TF

those would be the most valuable ive driven but the car I most enjoyed driving would have to be

1971 MG Midget in a gymkhana, most fun ive had in my whole life (yes I know that sounds really sad)

Best for me would be my dads 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT....absolutely amazing. I'm always get adreniline rushing and goose bumps everytime I get to drive it. Can't imagine what the new ones are like. On the totally different side of the car world I got to drive my friends dads 69 Dodge Super Bee with a 440 in it....ya it had good acceleration.

The coolest car I´ve drived is my friends Peugeot 406 coupe. Its a true Sports coupe with a V6 engine and about 200HP and some luxury apointments too. By price it certainly wouldn´t compit with an Accord Coupe or Toyota Solara, but yes in Europe it does with the BMW 3 series coupe and Mercedes CLK. And one of my luxurious and comfort+ rides I´ve had is on my aunt´s 1998 MB E430. For the ones that haven´t seen the Peugeot here´s some pics of it.

Hmm, well this is pretty simple for me, i've only driven 2 sportscars. One was the 2000 Audi TTs and the other (And the most fun) was a 911 TT (not sure what year, I think a 98) on BBSs, 16psi boost, numerous internal mods, no bodymods.
I'd like to add a Skyline to the list someday, perhaps I'll even own one of these beasts!

They do compete with Honda & Toyota, in Europe, the CLK & 3 Series Coupe compete, with the Accord Coupe and Celica as well as the Peugeot

Peugeot is a generalistic brand compiting specially with Ford, VW, Citroen. You can find from a $8000 (or less?) 106 3door hatchback and going to the top you´ll find the significantly more expensive 406 coupe and 607. They´re now launching pretty nice, safe and more reliable cars for reasonable pricing. :cool:

Well..

I used to work for a cellphone install place a loooooong time ago (late 80's, I'm aging myself here hehe) so I got to drive lots of nice cars actually. The place was in New Orleans and they guy that owns Popeye's (fast food franchise) lived there. He had Porsches, Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Rolls, etc as well as the usual Mercedes and BMW's coming in.

You don't get to really drive them more so then just pull them in and out of the bays and into the parking lot.

Was fun nonetheless. :)

I drive a WRX daily and a Honda RC51 (VRT1000SP1 motorcycle) not that either of those are especially exotic. ;)

how could it compete with a CLK then?? A CLK costs like twice as much as an accord coupe or celica

you'd drool over a bmw 330?? that's basically the same as my car (cause my car was the top 3 in 2000, the 330 just added the .2 liters, for the same price as the 328 for 2001)

12-18-2001, 10:30 PM
I said the Peugeot DOES NOT compit with Accord coupe and Celica, maybe the 2.0L version gets a little bit closer to them, anywise Im talking about the V6 version, and even if it has power like in the Accord V6 the Peugeot is oriented to a different kind of buyer, like the Mercedes maybe, even if there´s a Mercedes CLK diesel in Europe less powerfull and slower than an Accord Coupe it stills been more espensive. I hope it´s clear now :)

Jimster
12-19-2001, 01:23 AM
I can't remember which issue it was but Top Gear magazine put the 2.0 406 against the Cougar, Prelude (non VTEC), Celica and FIAT Coupe 5 cylinder, those are the true rivals for the base models, yet the Accord V6 Coupe, 325Ci and CLK230K are the rivals for the V6, this is all according to British pricing.

My mom's CLK AMG 55. what a beast. EURO 19 oh yea, no way CLK are in the class of accords, never in a million years, an CLK Diesel, no. never ever heard of one, even if there was one, it would be a turbo diesel. But, they dont have them anyway. And a CLK slower than an Accord V6, no. I have no clue where you got those stats..

JBL85

Actually a 6 cylinder Mercedes is slower then a v6 accord...the only quicker 6 cylinder mercedes is one with forced induction or a 320 SLK

mastachi
02-09-2002, 09:12 PM
The SLK and CLK are two different cars. The Honda Accord V-6 has a 7.7 second 0-60 time. The CLK 230 has a 0-60 time of 7.5. Thats the smaller engine without a Kompressor. The engine has 215 hp, the CLK 430 has 272 hp. The 320 SLK as you put it is not the only car force induction made by Mercedes Benz. They put a (Kompressor) in each model of car they make besides the A-Class. Its SLK 320 anyway. The CLK 430, C320, S320, CL500-600, SLK 320, SL 430, these are just some of the cars with kompressors, The CLK, C, and SLK have 6 cylinder engines.

well, we raced a Kompressor 230 against my Maxima which is stock. The Maxima beat it, both of them were launched the same with a brake drop and both had full tanks. My friends 4-door Accord beat my Maxima, I had a bad start, but he still would have beat me....so I dont know what 0-60 your talking about.

The mercedes was those small ones where the top goes into the trunk...

mastachi
02-10-2002, 05:23 AM
the CLK, SLK, and SL have tops that go into the trunk, if an accord beat your maxima, the your maxima very fast. Maxima's are hella faster than accords. you should look on the internet for car stats, then you would believe me. i know this cause i looked at car an driver and motor trend..

trust me, well I guess that bad launch constituted for a lot.....and racing on windy roads doesnt help....but I am sure an accord coupe can beat a SLK.......im not good with mercedes but thats the one that says Kompressor (mercedes symbol) 230 on the back of it....im not to good with mercedes.....i usually dont have them in front of me:D

02-10-2002, 01:07 PM
You may have beat it, but i can tell you one thing, I use to live in the city were M-B was built makes it hard to believe, im not saying your wrong at all, i have alot of pride built up in M-B, that could be my mistake. But, people buy those Kompressor labels just like ppl by type R badges an what not. Lets let this go, is that cool??

The most awesome, outrageous, exotic, exclusive, wildtest, fastest, funniest car I`ve ever driven is: a 1999 Nissan Primera GT!!
150 horses don`t scare nobody, but the handling of this car just needs to tested! IS`T AMAZING! You`ll be stunned! It grips the tarmac and never lets go! I was speechless after my first test drive! And I swore on my own grave that this is car IM gonna get! Well, 2 years after I`m sitting here with a 1991 Primera with 85 horses, not extactly GT, in terms of power nor handling. But the handling is still sweet, and beats my bud`s BMW 320i (1992) in handling.

I say only onething: Nissan is the ultimate performance car producer! Just look at the extreme machines: Skyline GT-R R3x,300ZX and the new Z!:smoker2:

S320 , CL 600 with kompressor - what are you talking about? :confused: :eek: :bloated:
You got to learn a thing or two about cars before you tell things like that... the CLK 230 has 193 hp with kompressor , and you say that without kompressor it has 215 hp...

CLK 230 kompressor

No. of cylinders/arrangement4/Inline
Bore/stroke (mm)90.9/88.4
Total displacement (cm3)2,295
Rated output (kW at rpm)145/5,500 - that gives 197.2 hp when multiplied by 1.36...
Rated torque (Nm at rpm)280/2,500-5,000
Compression ratio9.0
Alternator (V/A)14/90
Battery (V/Ah)12/62
Acceleration 0-100 km/h (s)7.9
Top speed, approx. (km/h)236

This is a nice engine information , not like y'all... :finger:

By the way CLK 230 isn't even offered without kompressor...

that was good dejoux. TOM_S8.. The CLK 230 does come without a kompressor. The S class and CL class do have kompressors. You need to look up that info again about the CLK. Look at Car an Driver, then go look at the Mercedes Web page..they all say what im saying.. why would they make a sports car that big with such a small engine?? thats makes no sense. I do not know where you got that info? but its wrong. The CL is a huge coupe sports car, why wouldnt they put a kompressor in it??

I guess you know better what car MB makes than themselves:rolleyes:

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars/clk/clk230.htm



Anyway if CL 600 is a kompressor , why it makes 367 hp out of 5.8L V12, isn't that a
little low rate for a forced induction car? I won't be discussing with you anymore because it doesn't make sense , if you tell me to check MB site and this is where i got my information... And why they don't put kompressor in any ferrari? They're all sport cars , and besides F40 that is a turbo they're all naturally aspirated , lamborghini also doesn't use forced induction , bmw also doesn't use kompressors in neither M3 or M5, honda doesn't use kompressors in any of their cars , hmm why they didn't think about it before you... :confused: you'd better tell'em about it because otherwise they'll never make good sportcars...

yeah , but you say that without kompressor it makes the 0-60 in 7.5 and with the kompressor it makes 0-62 in 7.9 that's kind of strange , because there's about 3,2 % difference between 100 km/h (approx 62 mph) and 60 mph and between the 230 engine without kompressor (143hp , which IMO wasn't put into CLK , it was in the V-series van) and the kompressor (197 hp) it's about 27,5 % difference , so that time of 7.5 for 143 hp isn't possible...

HAHA......yeah mercedes are tricky, they mostly only kompress their 4 bangers cuz they are such awful motors they need it......but its nice to seem them with out FI, cuz those bitches in 220 mercedes think they are the shit and their cars suck, although their lifetime free supply of oil changes kicks ass.

yea, true, i get confused easily. The people who own AMG's version of the Mercedes can talk shit though..I think it is cool all the variety M-B offers though. I still love Mercedes though..I lived in Sindelfingen, and what a great experience..The new SL is fucking amazing. There are some people who fucking know there shit, i need to learn from this...i dont want to come off as a cocky know it all, if i do, i give right to the one who knows more than me to make me look stupid..

Maybe i'll change my audi for that car if the prices go a little down , because now it's too much for me...

Hmmm as passenger defenetly Audi RS2... as a driver the most fun I've had for over 5 years with my old 91' Accord F2-Special (Factory tuned - German spec.). Wasn't very fast but handling and grip was very good. My current Z3 is really cool car but the 1.9 engine is not enough. Time will show what I will drive next :)

I ran in the high 16's.

First run I did a 16.4 but I didnt use third gear very well. I took off the line beating a 91 Toyota Supra Turbo with mods. I was beating him until I misshifted.

Second run i did a 16.6 without launching, I couldnt see the lights and my car inched over the sensor and well I got fucked. I lost to a GT mustang that did a 14.4

My reaction times were 1.5-2 seconds and my 0-60 feet was 2.3. Overall the car is very good, I was going to drive on saturday, but I got my car lwoered instead. Next weekend I will try to get down there, I am confident the car has at least a high 15 second 1/4 in it

Dudes, I have worked as a valet in both Florida and up in Atlanta. THE best job for any guy untill you graduate college and get a real job. I've driven every top end Benz, BMW, Porsche and Jag's. In Florida, I constantly drove 911 turbos on a daily basis, and the best part is we have 4 parking lots for cars and ALL of them are down the road away from all eyes, did I say best job ever?!? In atlanta, I drove a few cars from the auto show that were street legal (i guess) when they all came in for an after-party at a hotel downtown where I was working at the time. Lets' see...tightest car I've driven is a tie, it would be a new Bentley and a Murcielago. Thank god they increased leg and head room in those lambo's cuz the diablo was a bitch to drive being 6'1".

8-Peugeot 106 rallye lightly tuned (TA go-kart)
9-Alfa Romeo Giulia Gtv 1750 (old skool rulez)
10-Alfa romeo sportwagon 2.4 jtd (lovely traveller,sporty when needed)

Track:
1-Dallara 303-Mugen Honda (REALLY fast and RALLY ractive,a little F1 imho)
2-Dallara 302-Opel Spiess (fast,reactive and good engine at low revs,more than mugen)
3-Alfa Romeo 147 gta cup (i absolute love it,sequential gearshift,automatic cut-off,and GREAT brakes,more fun than an F3 but less difficult to drive,i come out laughing every time i drive it)
4-69' BMW 2002 Grope 2 (it isn't a good drift car as you could think... relly incisive,probably due to the good settigs)
5-Renault Megane Cup (someting like the 147 cup,videogame like drive...)
6-Formula Renault 2000 (a BIG go kart,ugly feeling chassis and brakes)
7-Formula Ford 1800 (it lerns you to drive at the limit of drifting)
8-Formula Ford 1600 (the better drift car i've ever driven,if you got BIG balls on the wet it's faster than F.Ford 1800)
9-Opel kadett Formula Challenge tuned (hem... you call it "destruction derby" in u.s.a.???)

The coolest car I've driven...is my own 440 Dodge Challenger R/T.

605 Lbs./ft of torque and 550 of the meanest horsies to take to the streets.
