Cars Section
Here are just a few cars that I admire... I've also put up some stats and specs of the cars. I wouldn't mind owning just one of the these cars either......
McLaren F1
Engine Type: V12 | Engine Size: 6064 cc | Horsepower: 627 bhp | Torque: 649 Nm (479 lb.ft) | Max. Speed: 356 km/h (222 mph) | 0-60 mph: 3.1 sec | 0-100 mph: 6.3 sec | 1/4 mile: 11.1 sec @ 138 mph | Weight: 1138 kg (2500 lb) | Price: $1,000,000 US
Well, this here work of art isn't the world's fastest street-legal car for nothin. It's also named the world's most expensive car. It used to be the most expensive, but apparently the Mercedes CLK GTR carries a higher price tag. It's no joke, this muthafudrucker really does cost a million big ones. This baby is made more for the track than on the streets, but hey, if you have the car control, then who am I to complain?! :)
Dodge Viper RT/10
Engine Type: 8.0L, V10 | Transmission: 6-speed manual | Engine Size: 7990 cc | Horsepower: 415 bhp@5200 | Torque: 662 Nm (488 lb.ft) @3600 | Max. Speed: 256 km/h (160 mph) | 0-60 mph: 4.8 sec | 0-100mph: 9.9 sec | 1/4 mile: 12.2 sec @ 118 mph | Weight: 1555 kg (3345 lb) | Price: $70,000 US
This is my favorite Viper. If I had enuff money, this would be the car that I would buy. But since I'm so picky on car design, the major flaw about this car is it's engine weight. I mean, it has such a huge engine, but in no way does the size represent the power. Also, it can also be quite tricky to drive becuz it has so much torque, but hey.... nothing I can't handle, haha...
Mercedes CLK-GTR
Engine Type: 5.9L,V12 | Transmission: 6-speed manual | Engine Size: 5987 cc | Horsepower: 600 bhp@7000 | Torque: ??? Nm | Max. Speed: 325 km/h (200 mph)* | 0-60 mph: 4.0 sec* | 0-100mph: 6.5 sec* | 1/4 mile: ??? | Weight: 998 kg (2200 lb) | Price: $1,600,000

This car is definately one of the most best kept secrets. For all you out there that didn't know what car I was talking about, THIS IS IT!!! Dang, and you all say I don't know anything about cars. Like I said, I had the most difficulty trying to find pics and specs on this particular car... I don't even have all the specs here. Anyway, the Viper used to be my favorite car but since this one came along, the CLK-GTR is now my fave, if any of you know more about this car or know where I can find more info on it, plz tell me. Oh, for all you trivia people out there, YES, this is now the most expensive car in the world... as far as I know, there are presently only 25 of these beautiful machines in the world.
Ferrari F50
Engine Type: V12 | Engine Size: 4703 cc | Horsepower: 520 bhp @ 8500 rpm | Torque: 471 N.m (347 lb.ft) @6500 rpm | Max. Speed: 325 km/h (202 mph) | 0-60 mph: 3.7 sec | 0-100 mph: 6.0 sec | 1/4 mile: ??? | Weight: 1200 kg (2640 lb) | Price: $500,000 US
One of the few Ferrari's that I like, this thing is pretty efficient when you compare all it's stats. It's also the last Ferrari model that will used an F1-based Ferrari engine.... all becuz of polution concerns. If you ask me, the governments should regulate pollution controls for all those damn semi-trucks and buses out there.... I mean jeez, you can see black smoke coming out of thoses exhaust pipes when they accelerate under rest. Besides, not many people can drive such an expensive car anyway....
Lamborghini Diablo SV
Engine Type: V12 | Engine Size: 5707 cc | Horsepower: 530 bhp @ 7100 rpm | Torque: 603 N.m @ 5500 rpm | Max. Speed: 300 km/h (185 mph) | 0-60 mph: 3.9 sec | 0-100 mph: 8.6 sec | 1/4 mile: ??? | Weight: 1530 kg (3400 lb) | Price: $300,000 US
One of the newer Lamborghini models, the Diablo SV for some reason is attracting a lot of attraction. I may hate the sqigglely "SV" paint scheme on the side of the car, but of all the Lamborghinis, this is my favorite one. Though, there are better designed race cars than this one...
