I love everything about the Venom GT 1200 except that they're not using a Toyota engine. Sick ass car, but I don't care what the R&D cost it's not worth $950k.

Kit car compared to the Veyron. And I am not a fan of the Veyron.
They did.

What car made the Bugatti Veyron SS back down from a fight?

That's some pretty gosh-darn weak trolling, bud. We're talking about a stretched, widened, 1200 hp twin-turbo Elise that smacks the shit out of a Bugatti...

It's pretty obvious this is a joke thread, and he's trolled a bunch before, showing us his incomplete knowledge of aerodynamics and suspension when trying rip on Dragon's tC.

LOL this guy is a joke, or 12 years old.

Either way, if I had to read their post outloud, it would sound worse than me taking a 2 minute long fart.

Go troll somewhere else.

I think you should just go ahead and buy that now because the Cayman S will be the better car. Why not buy a used GTR instead?

i still stand by the statements that i think giant gt wings on 160 hp cars are a bit much and if you wont admit that motion ratios change because of control arm travel, that suggests you believe there is no need for having your camber set to anything other than zero.

my point was that you can get alot of car for under 25k today and its going to be tough for toyota to match that. on the other hand toyota hasnt been in the business of building fun cars for the at least a decade. they seriously have their work cut out for them

It is really interesting why you thing the next Cayman S will be worse than the actual one. 911 (997) and M3 (E9X) owners have exactly the same thought, they think the next one will be worse, the 911 will be more luxurious and less sport orientated, and the next M3 will get a turbo, something that brakes the M philosphy and tradition.
Do you know why the next Cayman will not be so good? I herad it is getting a mecanical electric wheel assist instead of hydrolic one. This scares me.

I am a RWD fan. If not I would have simply taken an Audi TT-RS.

Never said it would be worse. You just keeping talking about the Cayman in a vast majority of your posts so it gets old after awhile. Just wish you would go out, buy the Cayman S and be done with it. Enjoy the car and stop ragging on the FT86 as if the two cars are even comparable. If you are going to wait for the 981 fine.
