hi
near where i live i just saw a well nice Trans-am i think it was black or dark blue and a big spray painted logo on the bonnet and a big vent and a 6.6 engine! very nice!

Wow, that must be really rare in the UK. They aren't officially imported there, are they?

They're quite common here, so I usually don't even notice them anymore, but they are a very nice looking car. Plus, I know I'd be excited if I saw a old model WRX or something (not imported to North America) here... :D:D

Anyways, welcome to AF! Hope you like it :D

same here, they're always the damn 2.5 RS'! I saw an old Firebird also with a 6.6L it was orange and beefy.

yeah ive only ever seen two, that one and another one but it was much more curved and modern

We have a lot of American cars where I am in England, most popular are the Mustangs and Motorhomes

your lucky cos i love big american cars but the only one i see regulary is a big chevy 6.6 pickup thing

Have you ever seen a Viper? Even I don't see them very often....

Corvettes are more common

I've always been fascinated by the mentallity of people on opposite sides of the coin. Before anyone starts to catch feelings, let me explain. We here in America look to overseas for the truly desired and artistically motivated automobiles. TVR Speed 12 just sends chills down my back. Yet the closest to it I will ever get is a pic. Yet over there, you guys probably get sick of seeing them. Now on the other side, you guys probably dream about seeing Corvettes, Firebirds or what have you from here. So, my thing is, we all wish we had the availability of each others cars. I want a damn Skyline, but the closest is one that doesn't even resemble the image or one that I grew up knowing. Oh well, we can always dream.

actually ive never seen a tvr speed 12 except on a video the best tvr ive seen is a speed 6. no ive never seen a viper, but i have seen a few skylines and i see about 6 porches a day

Yeah, I agree with DVS....I would do anything to see (or have :D) a Lotus Elise, but you guys probably see them on a fairly regular basis...

well i supose thats true i do see them quite often

Ya. The country recieving the imports usually doesn't get the best of the best. You guys don't get the WS6 or Firehawk or the Camaro SS or the Corvette ZO6 do you?

Here is something I wish GM would do...


This is a concept they will not make but it looks like enthusiasts would love it. It uses supercharged V6. The most popualr Buicks also used forced-induction. The 3.8 V6 Turbos are very popualr for tuning purposes.http://www.supercars.net/SDBQ?y=2000&m=Buick&o=Regal%20GNX%20Concept


Oh well... TVRs adn Lotus' are great cars. Your miss em if you move, trust me. :)
