pulsar gti-r is where it's at... all wheel drive with a 2.0 turbo (same as the silvia). tis a shame all the good japanese cars are not available in america

If we didn't have such fucking idiotic gray market import laws and "federalization" requirements, we could have cool cars as well.

but those older pulars are pretty hilarious

Don't tell me you don't just wake up one day and think to yourself, "Man, today I feel like driving my car as some weird two-door bread van instead of a coupe!" Pulsar NX, making that dream come true.

Like I said, I don't really have expensive taste in cars, at least not anymore. If I were to be fabulously rich, I'd probably have a garage full of half-finished shitboxes that looked like they came out of Mad Max if it was set 20 years into the future. With that said, I've kind of taken a liking to the following expensive classics and exotics

Cizeta-Moroder V16t. That fluctuating idle is because it is two V8s sandwiched together to make some kind of Frankenstein V16.

A Porsche 904/6



And a Lancia Stratos (Image too huge).

I've also got a soft spot in my heart for late 70s and early 80s production based race cars with the huge air damns, wheel arches, and whale-tail wings. Real hair on your chest type shit. You just don't see that kind of stuff anymore. Modern race cars are the metrosexuals of cars.

The Lancia Stratos was a sick car.

suzuki swift gti. same as a geo metro, with the 3 cyl engine, but this one has a turbo & probably some other differences

Pretty sure the GTi was an N/A four, not a turbo three, but I've also always wanted one of these.

and just because.....

Let's just turn this into a Pulsar NX pic thread. Fucking hate those wheels on that one though.

I used to own an A60 Celica GT-S non-hatch coupe. The last of the RWD Celicas. I never understood why they never got the same following that the AE86 Corollas did.

ah yeah.. just did a little reading. i guess the gti was the 16v 4 cyl, and the turbo 3 cyl model was different. but, i would be into having either one

like that one? they are pretty gnarly but goofy as hell

the corolla wagon is nice too.. which brings me to this:

Yeah, though mine didn't have roof rack, a shitty paint job, windshield banner, and awful wheels. Mine looked pretty much like this:



What's so goofy about them? Granted the hatchback version was much more common and visually in line with what you'd expect, but the non-hatch had its charm.

I also thought of another exotic that I like, the Rossion Q1, though it is pretty cheap for an exotic:

yeah mainly i wanted to use that one because of the corolla wagon in the back

they just look 80s future (mainly the non-hatch).. which is kind of cool at the same time. like a delorean had sex with a mustang? i think the front end on the ae86 is better, too.

somebody do me in the back of this?

That's probably the best description of their appearance I've come across.

What's with you and old Corolla wagons? Puerto Rican?

my cousin has owned two vipers in the past year. i don't know what kind specifically but i know it was damn nice. with the first one, he took some babe on a date then was impressing her by how fast he could go and shit and then he spun out and wrecked it, he got another one about a month later and doesn't drive it. its only to impress the babes. the license plate reads "snkchrmr" my cousin rules, gets lots of ladies
