st184 sillycar Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	Re: liking Supercars over Jap cars Tue, 21 December 2004 08:00 I don't really bother putting supercars up against the same sort of criteria or standards as modded mass-produced cars. Perhaps ground-up, completely handbuilt hotrods and showcars could be compared to supercars on grounds of workmanship, concept, and beauty of bodywork/design - but how many of these actually get driven? how many CAN be driven? Will they hit 200mph? would they be driveable at 200mph ? On the performance side of the coin, how many quick riced-up or boy-racer cars stop people in their tracks when they drive past, a'la Ferrari F40 or Lamborghini Diablo? Most of the current crop of "hypercars" also pack the driver in wall-to-wall leather, machined & polished alloy fittings, flawless carbonfibre trim, etc. etc. That's on top of being mega-quick, and useable at 150+mph. I know 99% of people can't afford to even HIRE a supercar, but as something to read about, they hold much more interest (for me) than seeing which brand of Turbo, and which bodykit this month's batch of 5 or 6 guys have put on their Nissan/Honda. We're talking the complete package with supercars, concieved and executed from scratch, often to realise one man's dream of what a car really should be. That said, I had a squizz at Speed in the servo this morning: RWD Turbo'd V8 ST185 Celica ! ! ! ! ! ! [Report message to a moderator]
