ZHP's get their own thread(s) on this forum.
Post up pics of cars that are not ZHP's that you enjoy. Euro, Domestics, Japanese, etc. I'll get it started...

Here's one I spotted on a work trip to the Ft. Myers area over the summer... yes, it did indeed have the M5 engine and manual transmission.

Tons of other BMWs I'm not gunna list. If I was a billionaire I'd probably TT my zhp, fix it up to perfection and drive that everyday. Maybe buy an exotic on the weekend. Who needs more? :)

btw Marcus- it's no M5 but I used to have a E39 528iT stick sport package.

11-26-2010, 09:55 PM

E39 Stick wagons, I'd say less than 200. 528iT stick sport package probably less than 50. It was jumped on when I put it up for sale. Biggest motor that was available with a stick in the wagon.

Marcus-SanDiego

11-27-2010, 04:32 PM

I will be keeping the ZHP until the wheels fall off.

The HPFP sucks, but that's not the reason for leaving the brand when it comes to my next purchase.

The next step up in the BMW brand is an M3. It just doesn't do it for me. So, I will be going elsewhere for my thrills.

11-27-2010, 10:33 PM

997 911TT is an animal!!!

Fastest car I ever rode in was a MODDED 996 911 Turbo pushing roughly 700hp. I was squeezed in the back purse seat haha and every time the throttle was hovered over my head slammed off the rear glass with all the boost.

IT WAS SOOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!! :D The sounds, acceleration, grip and look of that car were truly amazing!!

Kinda of funny own a BMW and an Audi, both are same series the 330 ZHP vert and an A4 Avant 3.0 sport package. Like them both for different reasons :) ... i always describe it this way .. BMW 1 pebble car Audi 2 pebble car. Every time I have to make a car decision these days always comes down to the same two brands. I think it just depends on the year and model.. sometimes BMW sometimes Audi. Current lust is an S5 vert now the question is blue, red or silver?? OOh yeah and I need to find $70K :eek:

I'm the same exact way :) I owned a Pearl White facelifted A4 2.8 Quattro Sport prior to my ZHP. I loved the thing! And in the snow nothing is better! Quattro! I was also looking at B6 S4s when looking at the ZHP. Sometimes I wonder if I should have bought that when I think of the extra 100hp it has :/

Love BMW, but Audi is right up there in my book with BMW :)

The S5 would have to be a Coupe for me. Its one of the most beautiful cars out there today. Cant wait for the RS5 to come

It's on bags. Ride height can be adjusted in a matter of seconds.

bimmer848

12-05-2010, 04:16 PM

I don't see how a useless car can be tits, because you sure as hell ain't driving that thing anywhere with a pothole. Find me a place without a pothole and I'll mail you a cookie.
I'm surprised that person even made it onto the grass without dragging the front end off.

lol.. i live in pittsburgh my friend, potholes get no worse than this! like mimalo said, its prob on bags and only looks like this at a stand still. just a look i always dug. on the ground at rest, but a normal ride height when moving that probably looks sinister as all hell. not for me for a dd, especially on these roads but to have a toy for shows and what not would be fun. plus, it would bounce down the road like a super ball..
i have to dodge em everyday even with a little lowering and 19's. its a skill to not bend wheels round these parts, but a sacrifice worth it imho.

i can see some of you guys take this forum stuff pretty seriously. you are the second person to get sort of argumentitive about clearly joking comments. "marcus and az are wrong" is just kidding, i hope you see that? how can an opinion be wrong? just a friendly jab my friend. guess ill keep my posts to facts only. :confused:

unless im being too sensitive, in that case.. Cheers!

Marcus-SanDiego

12-05-2010, 04:47 PM

Yep. We get serious about our cars but no one is so serious as to be dogmatic -- and aggressively upset about certain things that are done to cars.

I like that three-generation picture, too. One of the guys noticed it as we walked out. In fact, we all arrived at different times, so none of us saw the pose until we were leaving the restaurant.

The 348ts is one of the sexier Ferraris made. My friend had one EXACTLY like this with a Tubi exhaust!! Heavenly sound!!!!

Sad thing was its 300hp 3.4 V8 wasnt enough even for with it being a 94. Didnt leave my ZHP stayed really at all. Who cares though its a Ferrari haha

Big fat V8 is NOT a good daily driver. Drives me nuts when people say that.
Something that gets good gas mileage is a good daily driver, but something like the CTS-V; that's a weekend car or a toy, NOT a DD.

Plus is more expensive to maintain and buy parts for.

The car still is tits though.

Some people want to drive Toyota Camry's for daily drivers. I'd rather drive a 400hp sedan that gets 25mpg on the highway. Not to mention, the LS6 motor can hardly be described as a "big fat V8" since they weigh less than an S54

pyreguy

12-12-2010, 06:26 PM

I was looking at a car with that same engine and it was very refined and behaved really well in traffic and would have been very comfortable to drive everyday. The gas mileage isn't bad either for a motor of that power. I think 426hp and 25mpg is very respectable and certainly livable. I just thought the total package was better in the ZHP so I went this route instead. I would just be very hard pressed to knock an engine as well as the LS6. GM did great with it and I'm glad they have it in their arsenal.

az3579

12-12-2010, 06:49 PM

Eli,
The pic I posted is a 2nd gen CTS-V, not the first gen which had the LS6. The one I posted has an LSA. According to the Cadillac website, the 2011 CTS-V has EPA estimates of 14 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. We all know EPA estimates are usually optimistic in real-world conditions, so I would say it's safe to assume that you're rarely going to get above 20 mpg. No matter how you slice it, 20 mpg is atrocious for a daily driver; you'd be spending a ton of money on fuel. If you get 25mpg average with the CTS-V, that means you are driving as "economically" as humanly possible, at which point you're driving the car no faster than you are driving a Honda Civic or your ZHP. In that case, you might as well buy that Honda, because it is more reliable, much more fuel efficient, and a helluva lot cheaper.

I just checked the Fuelly website, where people report their fuel economy figures at every fillup. I didn't see CTS-V as an option, but there was the CTS, so I checked all CTS's with V8's. I only saw 4, two of which had reasonable figures. Both of them averaged LESS than 20mpg. I don't know if this is because they weren't efficient drivers, but this is in line with figures I see elsewhere online. One of these was a CTS-V, for reference. The owner put it under CTS...

As I said, the CTS-V is a toy, one helluva toy at that.

12-12-2010, 07:24 PM

Yeah, I was referring to the previous gen CTS-V hence the "lowly" 400hp rating :)

Holy crap that's a lot of power and telephone lines.

Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland. Right off of Route 355. A painful stretch of strip malls, office high rises, over priced condos, and horrendous traffic.

I used to work two block from where that picture was taken.

I love the widebody look on the e30 M3. Very mean.

I finally made it through all 16 pages. :drool Some very very nice shots.

I'll share... I've always wanted to drive a Mark IV Supra (with the 6 speed manual and twin turbo). Maybe overrated? I also have a thing for targa tops.

Found out last night that a guy in the Minneapolis area recently bought a new Gallardo. Normally, this wouldn't be worth sharing since most major metropolitan areas have several Gallardo's in them. But it's what the guy did with the new Lambo after he bought it that makes it worth mentioning...

If you're not familiar with Underground Racing, they build these twin turbo Gallardo's that have 1,000 awhp on pump gas and 1,300 awhp on race gas. A car with this same setup did 250mph at the Texas Mile. The 60 to 130 time on these is 3.4 seconds. The 1/4 mile goes down in 9.1 at a staggering 177 mph.

When finished, it will be at the Minneapolis Car & Coffee events and I'll get some more shots.

So, the car is being finished up now and they did some baseline dyno runs.

Here's what it did:

Numbers are in:
1004 awhp on pump gas
1521Awhp on race gas, wheels spinning due to camber.

Tomorrow: e85 and new proper alignment.

Meanwhile, my good pal knows the owner of the black Enzo. I don't know him. I do know some ballers, though. Surround yourself with those who have succeeded and you'll have a better chance of succeeding yourself. Maybe I should make a bumper sticker saying that. Haha.

Ferrari FF (2011): the Prancing Horse’s new four-wheel drive estate
By Ben Pulman, CAR Magazine
First Official Pictures
21 January 2011 11:00

This, believe it or not, is the new Ferrari FF – it’s the Prancing Horse’s replacement for the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. FF stands for Ferrari Four, to designate that this new GT features both four seats and Ferrari’s first ever four-wheel drive system. It will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva motor show in March, and ahead of the FF’s debut Ferrari has released these three pictures.

Why has Ferrari built this car? Like the California it’s designed to be more usable than Ferraris of old, and more appealing to new customers that wouldn’t have otherwise considered a car from the Prancing Horse. Prices have yet to be announced, but you'll need at least £220k if you want a Ferrari FF in your multi-car garage later this year.

Give me a moment to digest those looks. Tell me amount the new Ferrari FF’s four-wheel drive system.

Good luck with the search, Kyle.

Thank You.

Not that kind of M coupe M0nk3y....lol.

Nope, I'm going M Coupe. I wanted a E46...but I can get a M Coupe Cheaper, it's lighter, and it's fantastic for auto-x and tracking

Looks like my buddy's car. He's a member here at ZHP Mafia. Screen name mwscircle. But it's not his. Just reminds me of it.

I always loved matte paint on cars. I think it is hard to really get it to be perfect though. Now, if you could matte the windows a tad that would look stealth!!

This aluminum look is also on my top!!!! I would love to have that paint on a few cars.

Great car, but not a M3. The E30 M3 was the most successful and winningest sports car in the 80's by far and had many wannabe copycats.

I love the E30 M3, but the quattro Coupe was the benchmark that set the bar for AWD and created a whole new evolution for AWD used in soo many cars today

All that is, is a restyled Zonda. Nothing special.

Goes without saying though, that it does look marvelous.

If you're not familiar with the FIA GT Series, they have a ton of fast cars. Cars like the Aston Martin DB9, Ford GT, Lamborghini Murcielago, Corvette Z06, Maserati MC12 & Nissan GTR http://gt1world.com/ Not a bunch of slouches.

Here's a video that overlays FIA GT cars with Formula One cars at the the famous Eau Rouge corner at Spa Francorchamps (one of the fastest and trickiest corners in roadracing).

Note the staggering speed difference between the series. The F1 cars are insanely fast.
