Has enough power from the factory to blow all 4 tires off at 50+ mph. Thats with 335 rear meats.

And that is nothing compared to how this car handles in the twisties and at very high speeds.

1Revvin7 03-01-2006 01:26 AM

Not exactly the size of a rx7 motor heh

There is a car out there other than the FD that needs the motor pulled for every other maintence work.



So whats the story behind pulling the motor?



That reminds me. I was at Ferrari of Houston in 2003 w/a friend of mine. He was looking for a new car. It was either a Maserati or a Ferrari. He looked at getting the 355 (I think), but it cost $2500 just to change the belts. They had to remove the motor to do so.

KingFD 03-01-2006 06:18 PM

Yeah whats the deal with that?

Beautiful. The Diablos are my favorite car ever. Something about the shape of those cars just turns me on.

jspecracer7 03-02-2006 07:58 AM

I can run faster than that car.

Cheers! 03-02-2006 12:20 PM

That's not fast.

A yamaha R1 or any open wheel purpose built race car with aero is fast. Those two make the scenary go by in a blur.

We had to fix a transmission problem.



Ferrari(s) are a PAIN in the ass to work on. Those make working on rx7s look so easy...

Well that Diablo was the fastest car I have driven.



I should scan the pictures of the Caterham Super Seven done at the shop;

donhayes 03-10-2006 09:17 AM

89 Rag 03-10-2006 01:58 PM

I'd rather rock out with my enzo out, but lambo is pretty nice too.

I know a shop down the road who just had an ENZO, I guess that car was just stupid fast for a street car...

I want a 2006 911 Carrera. Black exterior, black interior with the carbon fibre dash accents, with the sport package and the ceramic brakes and the RWD version.



Did you know porsche stopped turbo'n the 911s? Since when did they stop?

Sidewayznoob 04-01-2006 12:00 PM

*drools* yeah those are fast but face it where are you goin to be able to really let it stretch it's legs and be run like it's meant to be run except at the track...let's see i remember readin a sport compact about the meaning of fast and it was talkin about how the editor's favorite memory was a honda crx that he drove and talkin about how fast isn't measured in dollar signs but how much you can really push the car...it's pretty good to bad i can't find it...



BTW that doesn't mean I wouldn't want one of those I was just giving something for yall to think about
