joeg Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 did you say 350hp V12????jesus christ... thats like 30hp/cylinder.... thats garbage....between the weight of that 1960's body, and the weight of a V12... 350hp is just enough to roll that overweight piece of shit to the junkyard....i'm praying that was a typo.... i'm really baffled by 350hp on TWELVE cylinders....

(which is actually pretty detuned, but still better than that bmw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeg Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Originally posted by barslut you guys are the biggest group of fucktards ever , you make this forum suck. you suck at the internet...i'm not trying to be hypercritical or anything (i guess i am, though)... i just feel that if i was to pay that kinda cash for a car, i'd atleast want some quality engineering under the hood... i mean, having the v12 badge on the car doesn't really get me off.... i'd rather it have a v6 if its putting out the same power... it'd be lighter and takeup less space/gas....i think cars should be rated on engine efficiency... hp per litre or something... to keep the automakers in check... any douchebag can build a big innefficient engine... but who wants it???i don't know, am i wrong??

I also like cars that offer a great deal of practicality as well. for example, i like the Volga V12 because it offers an unadulterated 1960's design with modern engines, comforts, and safety equipment. very odd, and stands out from the crowd.other autos i love for similar reasons include the Smarts, the Insight, the Renault Vel Satis and the Lexus IS300 Sportcross.i also admit to having a huge VW/Audi fetish, which at times contradicts my main tendencies.
