Ford Shelby Musteng 1969 GT 500 (or something like that :D) Im thinking of.. Eleanor.. from "60 seconds"... I just love that car :wub:

Well I like alot of other version of the mustang too..

I'd have to agree. Either that or an Aston-Martin V12 Vanquish....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet....

Lexus is not just about horse power if that's all you care.

Lexus has all the luxury both inside and outside the car. It is the accessories and design that make you impressed.

Also, with a V8 engine and 290 HP, it is very impressive if you compare it to similar class of car. LS430 or LS400 models are very heavy, and it always amazes people that a car with such heavy weight can go that fast. Beat that and then tell me your V6 is so great and so on.

I know all that because I have a 1994 LS400. 10 years old.. V8, but has 250 HP.

I drove BMW once, but once I made a switch to Lexus, I never looked back. I never regret either.

meet the 745Li.

i drove a bmw once, and i never look back. i never regret it either.

Wow, that's the first non-ugly car Chrysler has made! (okay, they have some okay looking cars, but most of them make me want to puke!)

Chrysler ME Four-Twelve is rated to be the most powerful car you can drive legally in the street with only the premium gas(not the racing gas most supercar need).

Here is some spec of this supercar

* horsepower -- 850 hp/850 lb-ft

* Top speed: 248 mph

* 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds

* 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds

::::: Power-to-Weight :::::

The power-to-weight ratio of a car is simply the total power output divided by the weight (usually the curb weight -- the weight with no passengers or cargo). The result will be a fraction of a horsepower per pound of car. Here are some famous high-performance cars and their power-to-weight ratios.* How does the ME stack up?

* Chrysler ME Four-Twelve - .295 hp/lb

* McLaren F1 - .251 hp/lb

* Bugatti 16/4 Veyron - .230 hp/lb

* Ferrari Enzo - .219 hp/lb

* 1965 Ford GT40 Mk1 - .213 hp/lb

* Ferrari Koenig 360 Modena - .174 hp/lb

* Lamborghini Countach - .139 hp/lb

* Dodge Viper RT/10 - .131 hp/lb

* Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - .123 hp/lb

* Porsche 911 Turbo - .119 hp/lb

* Ford Mustang Cobra R - .107 hp/lb

* Ferrari Testarossa - .104 hp/lb

Everyone choose slow accelerating cars :no:, me wants power!!!!

So my pick is The Koenigsegg CC

  • 655 HP
  • Top speed of 243.5 Mph (392 Kmph)
  • 0 to 60 MPH in 3.5 Seconds, or 0- 100 Kmph 3.5 secs

Movie of Top Speed Reached

Then you are calling the F1 a slow acceleration car?

That is just ignorant..... they are completely different cars for different purposes. GT2 is aimed for pure speed whilst the GT3 is a lightweight NA track car. And if you're looking for a daily driver the Turbo is a much better proposition.

It's hard to decide when you're asked to make a choice between the GT2 and GT3. They're both amazing cars. But the reason I chose a GT2 is simply because it gives you torque when you want it while the GT3 makes you wait for it; plus I like the exterior styling of the GT2 :drool: more than the 3 (interior is pretty much the same). Looking at the GT2, you can't tell wether it's evil or elegant. :p Overall the two cars come very close to eachother. Although the GT2 is fastest factory 911 ever and can hit 198MPH, the GT3 isn't that far behind with a top track speed of 190MPH. The acceleration times are not that far off from eachother as well. Where the biggest difference lies is the $$$. I mean value was never the GT2's strong point being nearly doubled the price of a GT3. :wacko:

The GT3 is better for drivers that want a track capable car that is understated, graceful and powerful. The GT2 on the other hand is better suited for drivers who want a car that can be driven on the track, but more often on freeways and such where there can be long stretches of road with the ocassional bend. If I were given the choice one day to drive either the GT2 or the GT3 to work... I'd have to take the bus. :cry:

[GLOW=orange]Thats good and all, but whats its mileage like?!?! :woot:
Lexus is not just about horse power if that's all you care.

[GLOW=orange] I agree, the Lexus is more of an 'exclusive' car. I've been thinking again, and the possibilities are endless for me, but a few more cares to add to my list would have to be the BAR Honda F1 XD or last years LM Panoz XD or Marcos Ambrose or Glenn Seton's BA Falcon (Marcos Ambrose)

So add them to the previous list of:

  • My dream cars
  • Ford GT40
  • Ford Mustang
  • A rebuilt Austin A50
  • One of the new Mercedes S-Class
  • Audi A8
  • BA or AU Ford Falcon XR8

Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content.

On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates.

    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
