OKC Exotic Cars

[FRISKY]

most of us guys can be total jerks too, you know. It's a two way street! Girls (hot or not) put up with a lot of crap from us too...

And girls will typically put up with an extraordinary amount of crap from a guy that drives an exotic car.

And along that same line of thought...

Is it easier to hook-up with modern girls if you drive an exotic car?

i get what you mean by sleeper, but my point was if a person spent the necessary money to make that truck handle and stop the way it accelerates, which is the responsible thing to do btw for them and everyone else on the road, for the same money they could have just gotten a nice ride to being with that was engineered to do all of those things along with the factory warranty too.

I had a friend who put a (if memory serves me well) a small block V8 into an old S10 pickup. It was a few years ago so i dont remember exactly what he did. But it was a cheap way to go fast, but the truck didnt handle worth a crap, didnt stop well either. And it really wasnt that fast given the truck wasnt very aerodynamic and didnt have a good transmission. Had he done it right (new tires, wheels, interior, suspension, transmission, brakes, paint, etc.) he would have had a one of a kind special truck. Or, for the same money, he could have gotten a really nice sports car which would have better resale value should he decide to sell it. Like i said, to each his own.

Just curious, what is your definition of a slow car?

My definition of a slow car is 18 sec+ 1/4 mile,my def. of a quick car is 14-18 sec 1/4mile,my def. of a fast car is13-14 sec 1/4mile,and race ready is under 13!but it's all relative to whats fast to YOU!I'd be happy with a mid-13 car,with a stickshift!thats quick enough but not over doing it!

i would sure hope so.

Thanks for clearing that up. I might set the bar a little bit higher than what you have because nowdays there are 4 door sedans that run quicker than mid 13's in the quarter. But anyway...

Back to my earlier point, about the guy with the Mazda B2500 pickup. Let's say he had big plans for the truck including not only the 400 horse motor but also new paint, wheels, tires, suspension, brakes, transmission, interior, etc. And then lets say that after some figuring, he estimated all of costs to complete his truck to be around $35k. Now, im not body shop guy or mechanic i just used that figure for the sake of discussion. It could be more or less...depending on many factors.

So he is faced with the $35k decision, (assuming too that he owns the truck outright) he could spend all of this money fixing up the truck and making it something special and unique, even though it is his only vehicle and he would never get anything close to what he put into it if he decides to sell it. Or he could spend the same money and get a brand new muscle car like the 2011 Mustang 5.0 or the Camaro SS, both of which would give you the type of performance you consider "fast, race ready" or something you would be happy with (not, by your standards, slow).

And i just picked out those two examples because they are popular brands, there are others that could be used in their place. I respect someone who wants to build a car and make it their own. But a mazda truck? If someone really wants to build a fast hot rod why not find an old project Chevelle or something like that?

If Carroll Shelby had thought this way, a cobra would still be just "a snake from India". lol

What is it?

[anesthesiapro]

Lamborghini, marci. By the looks of the rims I would say it's a 2004.

In the 2006 Car & Driver road test a 2006 BMW M5 ran a a 0-60 of 4.2 seconds and a 1/4 mile of 12.5 seconds. It has a 5.0 Liter V-10 with 500 horsepower.

^^Yes this is what I'm talking about!Some stock Ferrarri's and Zo6 Vette's run Low 12's!these types of cars are what you call Super Cars or Exotics!

[stratosphere]

Cadillac CTS-V comes to mind, actually it runs low to mid 12's thanks to the 556 horse LSA motor. Also the now desceased Pontiac G8 GXP sedan ran pretty strong (low 13's or high 12's ) with the LS3. Thats off the top of my head though, i know Lexus has a couple of low 13 sec sedans as does Mercedes, BMW, etc. And the Charger SRT8 also runs a low 13 as well with the 6.1 Hemi.

^Those are not your run of The Mill Sedans!Those are expensive Sport's Sedans,That are geared to GO FAST!

calm down there hero.

Obviously your definition of "run of the mill" or whatever isnt going to run 12's or 13's in the 1/4. If your talking Accords and Camry's then NO, they arent going to go that fast. I dont know what your definition of expensive is either, but several of the ones i mentioned can (or could be) had for under $50k. Im thinking the Charger and the discontinued G8 GXP were under $40, but i could be wrong.

LOL! HERO? yeah I'm sorry, sometimes I might come across to some as a Jackass,so my bad! To me 50k is alot for a vehicle,The most I've ever spent on a ride is 32k,and that was a 2002 regency Silverado-man I loved that truck!also those G8 GXP's are awesom looking!And did you know The know the 2011 V6 mustang will have 305 HP? WOW!

oh no problem, i think your punctuation and caps just make you seen a bit...excitable...thats all.

Yeah the 2011 Mustang lineup just got a bit sweeter thanks to the bump in HP for the V6 and the return of the 5.0. Of course they had to do something since the Camaro has been beating the Mustang in sales since its return last year. This should even the playing field a bit, since boths cars are similiar in HP (both base models and the V8 models too) though the Mustang still has a 260 pound weight advantage.

Mustangs ARENT exotics folks. Let's get back to talking about real exotic cars.

[anesthesiapro]

The lambo outside of Mantels in Bricktown.

[metro]

There's been a black lambo hanging out around Casady (Penn & Britton) a lot lately.

[anesthesiapro]

This black lambo loves hanging around Nova/Sushi neko, red prime, mantels and the wedge down in deep deuce (For the food and for their great parking).

Question for the Lambo doc, out of curiousity what is normal maintenance like on your car (cost wise)? Also, just curious, do you have your car serviced locally? Im only asking because im not sure how many mechanics around town could work on a Lambo. Thanks!

I have always wanted to know that also. The closest Lambo dealership is in Dallas, I would imagine that they take it down there for work.

[metro]

if you can afford a Lambo, you can afford to ship it to Dallas or Atlanta for work. I know a guy who ships his Porche Cayenne to Europe for performance work.

[mmonroe]

all that money... what I wouldn't do for just $40k

well thats interesting, dont we have a new Porsche dealer here in the city? Im thinking Bob Moore....surely they have a certified mechanic. Maybe your friend really trusts the guy in Europe.

I wouldnt doubt anyone could afford the expense, i was thinking more about the inconvenience of having to ship a car out of state, etc.
