It's NOT supercar, it's Fashioncar.

i think this wud be the perfect supercar if the 3.3 litre V6 was replaced with a turbo 4.8 litre V8 XD....nd if the front grill was redesigned

The ZR1 nurburgring times say all that need to be said about how effective leaf springs are. What you've essentially just said is 'I know there's a cheap and effective solution to going fast around corners, but damn it all, it's 'old' and not new and shiny and I want to spend more money to do it!'

Where did Ferrari (599) and Audi (R8) get their magnetic ride damping system from? Oh, that's right, GM and their leafsprung Corvette.

@vinehanger

The only reason why Japanese and European car companies do not build large displacement motors like the americans is that in some cases they are taxed by displacement of a car (which makes no sense as it is in no way correlated to fuel efficiency.) Often times, a 300 horsepower 2L engine is far less efficient than a 300 horsepower 5.7L. As you said, it costs less to make, and can be just as efficient while still retaining a torque advantage- So what if it's the easy way out?

@Sephirius

lol if your really going to argue for leafsprings.. what more can I say to you. Ferrari and porsche and just about any other supercar manufacturer put a lot of money in research and development. Theres a reason why they dont use leafsprings. Why do american cars use leafspring? Because they are cheap and cost effective. It's the same story with every american car.. all of the parts are from companies whose contracts were awarded to the lowest bidder, with no regard to quality.

@vinehanger

-sigh- again with the usual 'lol leafspring' argument. Yes, the corvette uses them, but not in lieu of coilovers, rather they are transverse from left to right as an additional stability and structural integrity system, a very good (and lightweight) method for increasing cornering ability. As far as engine weight, most 4 cylinder engines with a similar output to an LS1 are ironblock and turbocharged, and often weigh more than the all aluminum LS series.

@Sephirius

yes ofcourse they would be benefits of a huge displacement.. but what I meant to say was that using a absurdly large motor is the easy way to design a fast car. i'd rather have a car that has a smaller engine but can produce the same power. Smaller engines are lighter and more efficient. When American supercars such as the corvette have leafspring suspension systems, how much respect would one want to give them?

[Sephirius]

@vinehanger

and make no torque doing so. There are several engineering reasons to use a larger displacement motor, but let's not get into that because frankly I think you won't care.

This has to be the ugliest piece of shit I have

ever seen in my life. Not thee 'ugliest', but the ugliest

'Super Car' easily. I'ts like a 'butta-face',

She's got a hot body, 'but her face [butta-face] '....

[subzero92MK]

which is its top speed?
