WOW i want ur cars bomb!!!

HnC, I'm liking that Ducati 955 and that Trailblazer SS. Is that a AWD version or the RWD version?

Nope, you cant. As soon as you enter the country, you are then taxed. I have family in Europe, and sold cars to europe....thier taxes stink. Denmark has a 100% tax on vehicles, so if the car costs $20,000 then you pay $40,000. This helps cut down on vehicles and the price of gas cuts down on vehicles on the road. I remember seeing $7 a gallon when it was 85 cents here. The only way to somewhat beat the system is find another country close by, have an address there. A major hassle though, to say the least. They also pay around 25% sales tax which is nuts as well. But, they get payed more...college is free, and all medical expenses are free as well.

:dft012:

do u make that much more money or no? i couldnt live there, 100% tax!!! thats DUMB:036:

well, cant you say you bought the car for "less". Like teh declared value of an item when shipping internationally. You put $5 rather than $50.

@bomb; we pay 2 times the price for cars that you guys do; we do need to pay medical insurance (320bucks for 2 persons per month) College is payed here too.. (2025 bucks per year, excluding books) 19 percent taxes in general..

And our average income isn't that high.. And we need to pay about 40%+ on our income..

But we do have got social insurance; if we can't work, we get money..

Yea, the pay is higher, but they really dont want people driving...they have excellent train systems. If I lived there I wouldnt own a car, no reason to. Where are you at Serum?

A M5 costs 175 grand? Damn...

It costs like 100 out the door here...

Unfortunately...my dad isn't a car guy...he's a motorcycle guy...

Zwolle, main city of Overijssel.

sometimes a car is needed. our train system sucks bigtime. Check your sources.. 1 hour delay is rather common. (IF they drive at all, due to strikes) I don't know where you heard that our trainsystem is flawless.. it was, (till 1995) untill the government kind of sold it.

About the high prices for cars/fuel;

The Netherlands has got the highest number of 'company cars'; it's not they don't want people driving; it is that they know most of the people need to drive and do pay any money to keep driving.

But you are not in Denmark Serum. I know the train systems, I have used them frequently, never once did I run into a problem, and I have never had one late. I went across the entire country swapping trains and never had an issue. I have heard the trains in the Netherlands arent as good, I dunno. I am sure you know Denmark has the free citibikes so people dont even have to buy a bike, they are a very "green" country and dont want vehices polution. I cant speak for Zwolle. Denmark adds a "grøn ejerafgift" (environmental) tax on top of the other taxes including VAT. After the fees you pay 100% when its all said and done. A drivers liscense is expensive as well. They promote public transit, and bicycles....they severely tax motor vehicles.....

Thanks squee - its the awd...

our transportation system blows here, cant get anywhere without a car, unless your in a city. What company cars do u guys ussually drive? Crappy Vans?

D*mn, your dad has got some kickin' rides. :004:

One things missing from that picture...A Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa. :D

Well, actually, not really...the Kawasaki ZX-14 (Black one on the very right) makes the Busa look like a snail. Its pretty much known as a "Busa Killer."

My dad has some mods so its pushing 200hp at the wheel - I think exact figures are like 198 (and my Mom's accord has 200 at the crank LOL!).

Also, a ZX-14 is considered the fastest mass produced motorcycle in the world.

I was going to say that BP - that z is wicked fast - i had a 1000R and it was fast... - i cant even imagine that zx-14.. Looks way awesome....

Yea...its faster than hell. After he washed it he took it for a ride to make sure all the water was off, etc. He was going up a hill (street with incline) and when he got on he said it lit the rear tire up while he was already doing 60mph...

I think my favorite of all of them is still the R1. 200hp at the crank, an awesome sounding exhaust note, and insane handling. (Its the red one).

However...my car interests still exceed my motorcycle interests by far...if only my dad was the same way...hello M5...

U guys ever take them bikes to a race track? You should race your dad! m5 vs zx-14

Damn...I didn't know that...I think I'ma hafta rethink my future bike...

LOL see even on rc sites u learn something about real cars and motorcycles lol

I, or my family for that matter, don't have an M5...but you have no idea how bad I wan't one... :004:

Around a track, the M5 would win because it can hold a lot better corner speed than the 14...but the 14 would own the M5 on the straights.

But then again, my dream M5 ain't stock. :017: Hello 700+hp with different gear ratio's.

My car is the G35 on the first page of the thread - which I can't complain about at all seeing how I'm just 16. :027:

Here's mine
2006 Dodge Ram Laramie 3500
2005 Keystone Laredo 29RL

Wow...600ft-lb's of torque across the entire RPM band must be fun...

We have an 03 Ram 1500...its such an awesome truck - Mopar all the way.

Imagine what 1000 ft/lbs feels like.... Oh wait - i can tell ya - feels awesome - woo hoo...

Bah...Chevy all the way...

Yea, I love em also. The chevys make nice cruisers, easier to put hydraulics on. I like the Mopars for performance, I currently have a 1970 Roadrunner w/ 500ci stroker. Sold my 1970 GTX

And heres one for the Mopar fans...probably the rarest car you will ever see.

Is that a Coronett? Sorry, I don't know my Mopars. :002: How rare is it? I got a pretty rare vehical or two around...My grandpaw has a 1930 Model A 2dr Deluxe Phaeton. Theres only about 200 left in existance. My dad's got a 1991 GMC Syclone. Coulda been mine if I had straight A's... :mad:1 :mad:1 :mad:1 :mad:1

What vehicle of yours has that? Blown V8 I assume? (I'm just wondering)

Coronet, yep. If you watched the Barrett-Jackson auction, they auctioned one off just like this but 4 door. They said (sat.) there were three 4 doors built, and one even more rare which is a 2 door, and there is only one built. This is it.
426 Hemi, factory lightweight. 300 original miles. In the documentation with the car, it says it is for accelleration tests only, and can only be run for 7 minutes at a time. Came with factory aluminum heads, 538 gears, reverse manual valve body, etc.

600?? Try 828 (on the dyno).....It ain't stock!!!!!!:D

HotNCOld.....you show off!!!!

Wow...nice. 600 was stock...so that what I assumed. 828 must be even more fun.

Do you have 4WD? If you do - you can run like 12 second passes at the drag strip with that much torque LOL

If I can ever find the money...I wanna get a Stillen kit for "my" car (Stillen kit = supercharger). Only thing is it has the ugly ass bump on the hood if I do... :031:

My other option is an exhaust, cams, and a tune...but then I wont have a bunch of torque down low... decisions decisions. :035:

Why do you say "my" car?

Yes, its a 4X4, and no, it wont come close to a 12. Gotta remember, thats a 7800lb rig, thats a LOT of mass to get moving. Hard launches on the stock drivetrain would have me shopping for some expensive parts - makes these CVD's and brushless stuff seem real cheap! My drag strips are mountain passes with me fully loaded passing every thing on the road. I love watching guys in their hopped up ricers when they get up in the elevation a little bit and their motors cant breath in that thin air! Its a lot more embarrasing for them when I pass them towing my big 'ol trailer than it is for me when they blow by me down on the flats!

Nothing wrong with a bump in the hood.....might look good! Run a turbo WITH the huffer. Best of both worlds!

Whats a huffer?

I didn't know that thing weighed 7800 pounds stock. Thats pretty damned heavy. If I'm not mistaken, our Ram is 5300 pounds...didn't know a simple engine and drivetrain difference was 2500 pounds lol... Also...I figured if the truck was built to tow, it can handle some hard launches with no load.

Squee, I said "my" because technically it is my dad's but on the other hand I drive it everyday and I will most likely get it when I go to college.

Ah. I think a "huffer" is a supercharger...

put bi-turbo on the G35:D:p

Take a good look at a diesel motor once, and you'll see where a lot of that weight is. Add in the beefier frame/differentials/tranny/brakes/wheels/springs/etc and its actually suprising that they ONLY weigh 2500 more.

With all that torque coming in right off the bat, something has to give - be it traction, or parts!

No different than doing it with an RC car....Emaxx's are a heavy beast with a ton of torgue, and thats why you see so many twisted drive shafts on them.

Ahh...I see...thats a good point.

As for Twin Turboing the G35...well, thats costs like 8 grand at least, kills your milage, and kills overall engine life...

I think I'll stick with cams. They are probably the most vehicle/driver friendly of the bunch, since most power is added up top (and is only used when you allow it to rev that high and give it enough gas).

I normally shift at about 3500RPM's. I shift at 2500 if I want to save gas, and if I feel like driving more agressively, I'll shift at like 4500.

nice rides guys!!:027:
i mostly ride a bike, when its raining i drive a f-150 4x4. i live in the sunny south, so most of the time im riding my bike!

my guzzi!

dude.. aggresive and 4500 rpms dont go together!! lol.. whats redline on that car, i know its like 8k? now thats aggresive! 4500 isnt even in the power yet, my buddy has one. sounds like you baby that car... why put cams in it if your not gonna wind it out? with aggresive cams itll rev to like 8500rpms!
