oh yeah cj. I like the engine a lot. I think the whole project is a marvel of engineering. Everything seems to be "out of the box" on the car. I just wish they could of made it more appealing then a fat pig. The Mclaren F1 and Koenigsegg CCX to me are both more astheticaly appealing.

If you want 1000hp then get one of those crazy twin turbo Ford GTs. 1000hp plus a damn gorgeous/sexy car.

I was going to post this in the Sirius Stelletto thread, but never got around to it.
Craig just refreshed my memory.



I think they would look pretty good tucked behind some chicks ears.

It's difficult to try to be objective about a car that puts up numbers like that. It is a "menacing" looking car, but I suppose the "common" Ferrari, Porsche, or Aston is much better-looking. THat being said, it is one of the most unique-looking cars on the planet. I don't think I would want one, simply because it is so rare and expensive that actually enjoying the car becomes prohibative.

I've never been in a room with Sting or Stevie, but I have seen those people whose presence is commanding. Interesting characteristic. Some folks are just like that. They radiate something.

Time to bring back one of the all time greats, the Spaten girl:



We love you, Spaten girl, whoever you are.

And this one, cribbed from Maddox ( think that the space pilot is confused ):



And randomness:

I dislike the platform stripper heels. I don't really much care if the chick is barefoot, in flip flops, or 6" heels anyway, but I'd prefer to not have to deal with the platform heels. And if she's wearing heels, she should take them off before sex. I've always thought that the porn where the chick has her heels on and is otherwise naked look ridiculous.

Wow - the Nascar Camry almost looks like a Camry from the dealership.

Somehow Ford and Chevy cant do that. Dodge does, almost.
