2015 Chrysler 200C:



2016 Honda Accord Coupe Touring Edition:

Better watch that curb.



 

The make you run German plates in PA?







 

Yep

Even registration and inspection is up to date

You guys aren't required to run front plates up there, are you?



 

Nope

Will be parking this one for the Winter very soon...

I'm planning to do a bunch of work on this one over the winter. Most of the mechanical stuff is done, now to take care of some cosmetic issues, including paint...

Please delete...

Cannot get pictures to work.

my 2016

And my 2015

Better watch that Muslim woman trying to jack your wheels.

I wouldn't worry.



Her feet are far too large to make a get-away.

My daily/work car - 2014 Dodge Charger


My weekend/summer/nice weather toy - 1990 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo (fully built, 900hp car)

Must be quite the transition jumping out one and into the other.



 

That car is pure awesome. Specs?

Thanks, it's a real factory black GTX with the numbers matching original 440 built to 523 HP at the crank, modified 727 with a 9.5" torque converter and 4.10 Sure Grip 8.75 rear. Built not bought, I did all of the work myself except for the final paint which a frend sprayed in the booth at the dealership where he worked.

Man, that Porsche is damn good looking

 

Thank you, I'll pass on the compliment! It is the lady's car, she picked it up a few weeks ago. She's very happy with it, lol.




Before the Porsche, there was a Z4... so the transition used to be worse!

Put new wheels and tires on her just before she hit the garage for the winter.










19x9.5 SVE Drifts in Dark Stainless from LMR.  Tires are 275/40r19 Cooper Zeon RS3-As from Discount Tire Direct.




 

What's the widest rear tire you can run without modifying?



 

My 2005 is lowered 1 inch on 18 inch 285/40s with a bit of room.   Wheels are 10 or 10.5, they were on car when I got it but are typical LMR or AmericanMuscle FR500s.

 
Tons of guys lowered on 315s in the back, they have huge wheel-wells and the fenders are rolled from the factory.  Hell, you can run 315s all around for the track if you get the offsets right.

I've seen plenty of 315's on the mid-2000's, I just wasn't sure if Ford kept building 'em that way.



 

After 2 and half months of waiting, tracking, and anxious pacing - finally got to pick her up today




Chrome accents are slowly being replaced (Why BMW?! the rest of the damn trim is black/CF anyway!!).

When are you taking it to the Top Gear test track?

When the money from my new book deal pays out enough to build my own

I'm awaiting a review after you drive the piss out of it for a day. Details?

Manual/auto? 2016? Interior pics?

I've had only manual cars my entire life and while I have always been a MT snob... I went with the M-DCT. Reason being is after taking a 458 Italia around Las Vegas Raceway a couple years back I haven't been the same since and while it's not a fair comparison, the BMW's DCT is really really good.

This is a 2016 with the executive package, full adaptive LED lighting, and adaptive M suspension. This car is Jekyll and Hyde. You can start her up in econogranola mode and just quietly and unassumingly drive about town, picking up groceries and the kids from soccer and then head to the golf course to ruin a good walk. The ride is smooth and quiet and very forgiving of rough roads. It seriously feels like a luxury sedan (because it is!). You can adjust how aggressive the computer shifts for you in auto mode so it feels just like any autotragic unless you stick her in sport shifting mode. Or you can set the auto to shift like you would in manual/sequential mode and it'll keep it in gear all the way to redline. It will always give you the gear you want and immediately as long as it recognizes the next lower gear won't put the motor at or above redline (no more money shifting). It rev-matches downshifts for you making them smooth and perfect every time. It is a really smooth experience and while there can be slight kicks with sport+ and isn't as fast as a Ferrari or Porsche DCT, I have zero complaints.

Now when you put everything to sport+ (leave the steering in comfort because there's no point to ever go with anything else on a full electronic steering system), the DCT to manual mode and traction control all the way off - the flaps open up in the exhaust and it sounds pretty dang good for a stock exhaust. Then open her up and be prepared to be taken for a ride. The thing spins and gets sideways in first, chirps the shift to second gear, and just is a fackin torque monster almost all the way to redline (there seems to be a flat spot at about 6.5k) where I'm guessing the ECU is backing off boost/fuel. But before you know it you look down (because you still aren't used to the fact you have a HUD) and you're doin about 125, hypothetically. I only ever do the speed limit on public roads.

Cornering? Well, just from the little hooning I did around town the turn in is excellent, dry traction is really good even with the meh continental sport tires (still pissed I didn't get the Michelin Pilot Power Sports but they've been having manufacturing shortages), steel brakes have amazing initial bite but will be changing those out with some Hawks and decent fluid for my first track day since I've heard they do fade (have yet to experience it).

Other than that I can't think of anything else you won't already find in a video review but I am extremely happy with how it performs both as a grocery getter and as a track-day ready car.

Inline 6 twin turbo goodness


ETA: Couple more pics

I'll never figure out why they hide everything.





However, that CF "boomerang" from the radiator support to the strut brace is gorgeous.





 

Here's a collage of some of my cars over the past 6 years....
I prefer my M cars naturally aspirated.







I ran 335s on my 2012 with no modification except lowering it.

Wow, that is one beautiful car!!!!!!

Congratulations ..................

Just picked it up - 2016 1LZ Z06 Corvette ................. 8-Speed auto ..................

:drool:

Beautiful! Congrats

I HATE YOU!
Oh, excuse me...

Nice car!

Old car





New car

Not as beastly as some of the other monsters I've seen in this thread, but I do like it

Just picked her up on Thursday, 2011 G37S - Traded in my trusty 2008 Altima 3.5SE Coupe.


"New" on the left, Old on the right.

Some older pics that I dont think I've posted here.

Murica

Yep.


Nice Hellcat.

Need more Wranglers. Nice vehicles. I'm shocked you don't have one of these yet.

I'm sure you could take a ring mount from a hummer and make it fit into one of your Wranglers. That or mount the Boys rifle to a ring mount.

I like your old car more.



That Monaro front end is a thing of beauty.



 

I did way more than the front fascia...










Not pictured are the keys (Holden logo) and the owners manual. The only thing left would have been the wheels and moving the steering wheel and pedals over to the other side....

You on LS1GTO?
