Lurch Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Oddly enough, I saw my dream truck (the KW K100 Aerodyne) with an 8v92t (twin stacks and intakes are a dead giveaway) the other day. Such an awesome truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastly40 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 No, I'm new here, but I do have experience, be it mechanical details about cars, trucks, buses, trains, etc. Ask me anything about the above types of vehicles, and I'll tell you like I know. I just love buses, trucks, and trains, but I do have a soft spot for cars, etc. BTW, I'm still 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*MURDOC* Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've been in plenty of big cars/trucks that were very cramped on the inside, and also many tiny cars that were super comfortable, so unless you sit in it/drive it, it can be close to impossible to tell sometimes.

sivispacem Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 What's the story on the new old 911? Singer Vehicle Design Run by the younger cousin of Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and ex vocalist and guitarist with Catherine Wheel, Rob Dickinson. Basically it's an early model 911 with 993 RS-spec running gear, custom independent suspension, modern interiors and electronics and some race-inspired touches.

Lurch Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That would be the big air cooled 3.8 and with the real close ratio 6 speed, right? If so, I can dig that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That would be the big air cooled 3.8 and with the real close ratio 6 speed, right? If so, I can dig that. 3.6 engine in the later 993, though I believe they can do stroker kits and all manner of other things. Gearbox ratios vary, but one of their demo cars (either green or orange, can't remember which) has got the RS 6-speed.

sivispacem Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I thought the RS's were 3.8's? Quite right, I'm confusing the 993 RS and the 996 GT3.

Waste Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) This is hard to narrow down to just 5 cars. I like way too many cars to limit it but here goes. 2009 Volvo c30: Audi s4: 1985 Golf GTI: Not sure if that Golf in the picture is for sure a GTI or not but I prefer the headlight configuration on that one. 2005 Porsche 911: 2011 Lotus Elise: Just love the styling of those five the most. Such gorgeous cars in my opinion. Edited July 12, 2011 by Waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it's an early model 911 with 993 RS-spec running gear, custom independent suspension, modern interiors and electronics and some race-inspired touches. One thing I forgot to ask, do you know what kind of Fuchs reps it's running? Look big. Like 18-19's. Edit - I guess they're only 17's. And made in-house? The Singer 911 uses newly developed 17’’ forged aluminum three-piece wheels in the style of the iconic Fuchs wheels designed in the 1960’s. These wheels are extremely strong and lightweight.

Slamman Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) 80s Eldorado Convertible, Keeping a restored 1989 Firebird convertible Lamborghini Countach (last model perhaps, or newer 80s gen ...the 5000 QV?) Ferrari Testarossa (the Red Head!) One of the classic Muscle cars, of the 60s, not sure which... Dodge Charger aka DUKES of Hazzard There's so many good ones there, hard to say, or even a newer Lamborghini that's more refined, or a Porsche 959. I think a TipTronic trans would work for me, I much prefer automatics. One person picked an early 1980s Olds Cutlass Supreme!! Good call, I owned two of them... My first two cars ever! I also grew up a kid facinated with hot rods in the 1970s, before you all were born! The era of custom cars then had a lot to do with fabricated exteriors and interiors, not plastic cladding bolt ons, mind you... the real deal! And murals, lots of custom paint, for vans being popular for cruising as well. With the nice Opera Windows on sail panels! Love that Anywho, the upshot is I think flame painted front ends are classy, if the person knows how the flames should look. Another custom job was Gold Leaf lettering, I used to build models back then and hoped to replicate things like the shiny machined aluminum (Firebird dashboards) For movie cars, I'd like to own the last of the V8 Interceptors... the Fords IIRC, used in Mad Max, the 1979 film, and last blown up in 1982's ROAD WARRIOR Edited July 15, 2011 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_GTAFREAK_ Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 80s Eldorado Convertible,Keeping a restored 1989 Firebird convertible Right! Wouldn't mind having those babies in my garage too!! Lamborghini Countach (last model perhaps, or newer 80s gen ...the 5000 QV?)Ferrari Testarossa (the Red Head!) Those are some of my personal favorite sports cars from the 80's... especially the Red Head!! (I laughed ) From the 60s to 80s or even 90s I mostly liked the American Muscle Cars, almost all of them! But a Porsche 911sc would sort it for sure... One of the classic Muscle cars, of the 60s, not sure which... Dodge Charger aka DUKES of Hazzard Classic... but it is an amazing car however I also grew up a kid facinated with hot rods in the 1970s, before you all were born! The era of custom cars then had a lot to do with fabricated exteriors and interiors, not plastic cladding bolt ons, mind you... the real deal! That's right, that is one simple detail that makes the muscle cars TOUGH and "muscled": it's what they are made of. During that era, the Muscle cars were mostly built with metal from the rear to the front, including interiors... its fascinating! Really tough rides, they almost looked like they were armored or something!! ... and that's why i love them so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
