Cars that make you say "Thats it?"
Recently i stumbled upon a V12 AC Cobra replica on speed hunters, the 6.0L V12 custom supercharged engine only made 492HP at the wheels (600HP crank), i can't help but feel that number to be so low for a big engine like that.
But of course, i'm sure the car is stupid fast. Link: http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/07/...the-v12-cobra/ |
HP is nothing but a number
I've been in some huge hp cars and thought that it didn't deliver as well as some moderate HP I swear the owners are lairs. There a local here that runs a 4.2TT 350z and he can make over 1000HP but never runs that map ever cause its useless for just about everything other than "I make more hp than you" after looking at the article it really seems to me that Cobra is about response than huge power. I want a ride! |

Eagle Speedster - Once I saw it on Top Gear and saw it in person last month I fell in love. I am not a convertible person by any means, but this car reminds me of Marilyn Monroe- classically beautiful forever.

When I heard the name "Celebrity" I thought it would at least be flashy.

Toyota has a V12 engine (i think 5.0L) that only makes 276hp......

I don't know if anyone else shares this opinion, but to me, this car is absolutely perfect in everyway. For me, this car is the one that makes me think "That's it. That's all I want." It's not the absolute best at everything, but it is just perfect, and beautiful.

I don't think you guys are thinking of the right "That's it". OP means, "That's it? I was expecting more." As in, a negative connotation.
"That's it!" is another thing entirely... But perhaps this thread can be both? Whats your "That's it?" and whats your "That's it!"? |

Stock fox-body 5.0L mustangs. You'd think with 5 liters to work with and "HO" in the name, they'd make more than 220 hp.
Also agree with the comment above naming the Twins. I bet there's a lot of non-enthusiasts out there who see the low-slung RWD shape and think it's going to be making serious hp, then are like "that's it?" when they see 200 hp. |
