If I had the option of unlimited money the Jag Type F wheels would look just perfect on my Jag Type F.

Random Thoughts - Part Deux

If I remember correctly wasn't Ambit a little less than honest about being VIA/JWL registered? And they supposedly took the marking off their wheels and website. Great looking wheel though, but not a fan of shady business practices.

Black for me. That lightness was so tempting. I'd love them with a BBK, supercharger and all kinds of other stuff. I could double the cost of the car in parts.

I would literally kill a person for it. Sure, I'd pick an asshole, but still, I find it significant that I could potentially take a human life in exchange for that.

The SVR is available in both hardtop and convertible models maxing out at 200 mph and 195 mph respectively. Both SVRs feature carbon fiber accents in addition to a new titanium exhaust system by Inconel and optional carbon-ceramic brakes. The shoes on this bad-boy are no joke either with 20-inch Pirelli PZero 265 forged alloy wheels in the front and 305s in the back.


Prices start at $126,700

Someone, at some point, mentioned it and I have not forgotten that. It was in a thread where someone was asking about the RE02 specifically. They seem to be popular, though, and searches online for bad reviews have yet to bring up any results (but maybe I'm searching incorrectly).

@Tcoat

Quoting isnt working for me for some reason...

Anyhoo, I'll be happy with the supercharged V-6. V-8 is too much power for street use. Hell, I'll be happy with base model but the upper trims have cooler stuffz.

I was too lazy to type so I just cut and pasted and there is probably something it didn't like.


Ya, that is way more then I would ever want and the 6 in one of the mid trims would be just fine.
