True.
I really love this style of motorbike. Maybe this is good for Lams
cafe racers...



I'm like a giddy school girl every time I see one... :lol:

I also wouldn't mind one, something to work to when I get a full time jerb... Will probably get kicked out of my folks house if I end up getting one...

why does everyone instantly relate motorcycles to instant death.
my dad got hit by a drink driver when he was in his 20s and it completely fucked up his knees.

motorbikes do carry a lot higher risks when an accident do occur though.

btw anyone seen the new a4 b9. omgs i want one nowwwww.

^boring, the interior is nice but on paper the numbers are nothing to get really excited about, if i had the cash, i'd get the Alfa Romeo Giulia

displacement is overrated, e.g. 7L murican v8's pumping out 200hp
Lol no, the first 427 CI BBC made 390hp in the late 60s according to wikipedia. Also back then the American manufacturers uses to underrate their engines, sometimes significantly, for insurance purposes.

That's around what/more than the exotic manufacturers were getting out of their engines (albeit, closer to 4l). Like them or not, the high displacement American v8s have always been able to keep up on max HP and that's without considering their strong point - torque.

I dont get the appeal of the AMG engines though (besides sound), same displacement as an LS3/LT1 and I bet with some basic mods they'd make about the same power. (stock AMG vs modded LSx is fair imo given the fact that the AMG would be using good parts from the factory)

amg is rich man's hsv gts
I actually like the Amg, hopefully when I get older with a full time job and a decant salary my first car would be a C63,e63 or GTR (when I am feeling frisky).

Then after i get into an senior management role probs a hurcan.

Sorry to cut your dreams down but most people will never be able to afford a C63, let alone from their first job.

Anyone here watch Ariderslife, AdjrianNicklodeon, Leadpin, RoyalJordanian, Chaseontwowheels and the other good ones which I have missed out? I personally like Leadpin more because of his personality followed by Adjrian for his 'Get of your phone' messages and his daily commute into the city.

Is an R6 Lams approved?
no!!! That thing is a bullet, faster than nearly all supercars.

You need to keep in mind the hundreds of better and more powerful cars that will come within the next 8 years.

I disagree, most people can as long as they live at home and have zero other commitments one can "afford" the AMG. Hell I can probably afford the repayments on a GT3 as long as I didn't go out, ate ramen everyday and had nothing else happening...but that would be stupid.

true, with your prioritites right you can afford some nice cars. e.g. this guy lives in an crappy apartment so he could buy a gtr
