Default Me and my brothers cars

Hi all,


Pic showing my new Z and my younger brothers new VX220 Turbo. For those of you not familiar with the VX it is based on a lotus chassis, has a 2 litre turbo engine and weighs 930kg. It will hit 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 0-100 in 12.6 seconds with a top end of 151mph. He is thinking of putting a stage 3 kit onto it, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and 0-100 in about 9 seconds. Very basic inside but very quick and nimble, sticks to the road like glue. Do you get these in the states?

Had my Z for a month now and loving it. Thinking of putting an APS TT onto mine but waiting till early next summer to see if there are any issues with the kit.

Catch you later,

Gav

Bought it with the GT-Pack, RAYS alloys, NISMO kit and a few other extras. The spoiler is NISMO. There are loads of silver/gunmetal colour cars in the UK so it really stands out. All I need now is some sunshine!

Picture of my 'old' Porsche 944 turbo, had it for 6 years. Can't make my mind up about selling it, might keep it and beef it up for the track, still goes some for a 13 year old car.

Default Some more pix of my VX

Here's a side view. The top of the roof only comes up to my stomach, and I'm not a tall person. It's more angular in design compared to the Elise.. and faster. It's all colour coded inside, red leather seats, aluminium dash etc. Basic but nice. It's a convertable too, so the hardtop comes off in the summer!

Default And one from the back.

Here's a pick showing the **** end. It's a little blurry though, just incase you are drinking and doubting your vision. The double exhaust exits out the centre. The engines in the back.

I also think vx looks nicer and more stunt than elise. Very nice .... I wish the top view (first picture) is bigger. I am looking for a nice screen saver like this one.
