This engine is a work of art. It’s just flat pretty.
Ferrari recently opened up their own custom shop. Now you can special order anything you want from them and it still be a legit, documented real Ferrari. It’ll cost you, but I think it’s cool. This is Eric Clapton’s special order giving homage to his favorite Ferrari (and mine) the 512 BB.
Of course, if I had the money, I order one with that 4.0 v12 above put in the engine bay.
And this to me, is the most beautiful 4 door sedan I have ever seen. The Aston Martin Rapide. This is sex on wheels. I would take this over a lot of sports cars, hands down. In person it’s just stunning, pictures don’t do it justice.

badass car, it’s just hard to find a clean example anymore. Would love a E30 with an S54 motor swapped into it.

Crazy…
But’s it’s purdy. I wouldn’t mind having a '90’s M3 either. It was just so raw and good. But I don’t want a car I need to fix, or fix up. I just don’t have the time and the tools to make that enjoyable.
Right now, the last gen Z4 M roadster is really appealing. I just like that car so much. All BMW, and not overwhelmed with techno doodads. Most of them are pretty low mileage from what I have seen. So you can pick up a good, low mileage example pretty cheap.
That, or a 5.0 mustang. Polar opposites, but each car tickles my spot, they just do it differently.
Here’s a real motor for a street car… A mere 3100 HP, no that’s not a typo…
And if you feel your Gallardo is a little under powered…

Pat,
That was a fantastic video.
Thank you.[/quote]
YW… I usually cringe at doing vile things to cars like that, but that was well done and a great demonstration of how capable that car really is.
Sadly, most of the yo-yo’s who can afford and buy cars like that never have fun in them. There are few who know how to have a good time.
That’s why I couldn’t see me spending millions on a super exclusive car, you can’t drive it really. And I want to drive it. That’s what cars are for. (Not that I could afford one anyway, but still)
Shit happens to cars, it’s an inherent risk. If you have a car where only 30 were made, it’s basically museum fodder. What’s the fun in that?[/quote]
I thought of you when I watched the car chase between the camaro and the corvette in Arnold’s movie The Last Stand.
I thought to myself if Pat saw this he would cry.
If you haven’t seen it, bring a tissue because you may shed a tear when you see what I am talking about.
I told my husband: I can’t believe they destroyed that corvette…( I was in awe of the car the whole movie ).
And I agree completely with what you said above.

Like I did at the end of Ferris Bueller’s Day off…Thank God it was a replica.

Same here.
Plus my paddle boards.

Ram to come out with a close to 30mpg 1500. Sign me up for the Extended Cab Long Wheel Base Manual 4x4.

You are very lucky.
That is the only truck I cannot have because I think it is ultra male.
Even if I ordered that in marshmallow pink I think it would still look butch for a woman.
I do, however, have to see it to believe it that it will come out as a manual.
My guess is an 8 speed automatic transmission to achieve that kind of mileage.
A brave move from Chrysler since Toyota has failed totally in my eyes when they already have the Hilux EVERYWHERE in the world ( said with the Jeremy Clarkson accent ) and many other diesel engines and will not bring anything into the US market.
VW also big disappointment with pickup I would have bought in a heart beat: the Amarok.
VW Amarok.

I think the Rams are the best looking of the big 3 trucks. Definitely not a feminine car. Maybe if you put those headlight eye lashes on it…
I agree Toyota has completely failed with their refusal to bring the Hilux here. Actually, I would love to have one of those 4x4 Kei trucks, even though they’re probably death traps.

I have never seen pipes coming off the blow-off valves before, what are they for?

Do you know the numbers on this motor?
