another dream car of mine would be an all british car with an all british engine that beats all the other cars.

but that never going to happen.

also about the arieal attom. I WANT ONE i'd jsut love to turn up in to college in one then put my disabled blue badges up when i park in a disabled space LOL

Wow, erm...

Within the next 5 years: Peugeot 106 GTI

Ever: So many...

Ferrari 360 Modena (Only nice Ferrari ever IMO, although the new 430 is soooo hot)

Aston Martin DB9

Citroen Xsara WRC (The actual one, driven by Sebastian Loeb a few years back. It looked so good on the tarmac!)

VW Golf R32 (So beautiful)

Saleen S7 (Only saw it for the first time earlier this year, but wow)

But my favourite of all time, I must agree with altezza, is the McLaren F1

My Dream car that I hope I will someday be able to acquire is a 911 Turbo. It's a beautiful machine that I just love to look at and hopefully drive one day.

But I have been partial to this beast however.

Oh NO!  A RICE BOY!  The Fast and the Furious kind of 9sec Civic...  I don't understand this, buying a cheap Civic and changing everything in it....  Why not just buy a Saleen Mustang GT or better a Viper instead?

:D

Haha. Yes, I do like rice. ;)

And no, I'm not talking about "The Fast and the Furious kind of 9sec Civic." I hate that crap, that movie ruined the scene imo. It basically showed people what the bad side of imports are, body kits and crap like that. The Civic I am talking about isn't like that. Looks stock but when you open the hood, then damn. And to reply to your question on why not just buy a Saleen or a Viper, well because they are expensive. Yeah, I wouldn't mind a Saleen at all, but if you think about it, it is cheaper. You can go out and buy a Civic for what? 3, maybe 4 grand. Do a swap, which will cost around the same, then, depending if you want NA or forced induction, that will cost around the same also. So total would be around 12,000 for a nice 12-13 sec. car. Not bad at all. Now compare that to the cars you said. Alot more expensive. Plus a nice small Honda will do wonders on the track. ;)

I myself, like how imports look. I sure wouldn't mind a classic car like a GTO or a Shelby either. I don't get why you domestic people always make fun of people that like imports, it's all a matter of preference, you hate the body kits, I know. But think about this, most import enthusiasts hate them just as much. I too, don't understand what it is with people that basically **** up their cars and put a body kit on it like that crap on "The Fast and the Furious." Can't we all just get along? :laugh:

Has to be a Lotus Carlton for me, they are still legendary in my opinion upon release it was (still is i think) the fastest saloon car in the world.

and it looks mental considering what it's based on.

This was it's shell based on a Vauchall Carlton

A couple of years later and Lotus playing about you get this.

3.6 Twin Turbo

376BHP

0-60=5.4 secs

Max Speed=176mph

(this is the fastest someone ever took the car on the test strip, they literally ran out of track, a theorectical top speed of 250mph)

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
