The Testosterone Thread
 

I don't want to call it a "guy's" thread as I am sure that many women will be interested in some of these things.

To start, my dad sent me this link. It is a video of a race between a Bugatti Veyron against a Eurofighter Typhoon (a jet fighter).

For those who have never seen a Veyron:



The Veyron USED to be world's fastest production car (at 253.81 MPH with a 0-60 of 2.46 seconds) until it was surpassed by the Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero (which tops out at 257 MPH with a 0-60 of 2.78 seconds). The requisite pretty picture of the Shelby:

And then this one gets filed under "ridiculous but cool"

For those who have not seen this before, I give you:

The Dodge Tomahawk



From here:
It reminds me of the episode of Monster Garage where they basically took the engine out a diesel truck and bolted wheels and steering mechanism to it.

Sweet. You mean I won't get in trouble for acting like an adolescent male in this thread?

Did you say ridiculous but cool?

Not much testosterone there, NA....I want one of these!

Nope!

I'm irretrievably bored.









:D

Go away

Bloody English cars. They get horrible mileage and can't corner worth ****.

Speed is good but style is important too.....

I dig the Veyron and have seen it before. Tasty sports car.

I especially like the Tom Cruise / Veyron video.

Fine. My estrogen and I are out of here.
Vroooom!

That looks like a penis tome - or two, or three.

I have been medically proven to have plenty of testosterone but sportscars and big boats do nothing for me. Nor do explosions unless I'm causing them.

So, to prove my manliness despite this deficiency I see your Bugatti and raise you a

Alex visible mojo to you, I just spit out hot chocolate!


I like the Shelby, by the way, that looks hot!

Oh boy! The jet powered penis!

You are heretofore banned from this thread.

Pussy!

OOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!! SHINY!

Let's not be so hasty. Causing explosions is mucho macho.

OK, this is freakin' beautiful!

Who knew a DeHavilland beaver would turn out to be an airplane?

How about a chrome Veyron?



Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang - A special edition (only 5) of a special edition car. Also, here.

Also, if you want a web site with a lot of hi-rez images of a bunch of really cool cars, go here.

And Captain Jack turned me on to this site: a 240 MPH WOODEN Sports Car!




(Sorry for the hugemungoid picture)

The web site

I'd rather have a Swedish Koenigsegg CCX

yeah, those are pretty cool, but make mine old school

I will post a pic of my Lil Red Roadster soon.

Oh yea, I'm such a girl.

I see the picture of the Shelby and think "ohh, pretty blue"!

And the cornering and gas mileage on the ship are pretty lacking, too!

And 0-60 is, well, horrible.

I think that should read

Oh My!

Such prettyness in automotive form.

/drool

Well, not if a really high waterfall is involved...

oh I would soooooooo pay BIG bucks to watch that...from shore

I'm sorry, any car that can't clear GRASS w/out dragging is not suitable for driving. Pretty, yes, (very pretty!) but silly.

Yeah, I wanna be super-stupid rich, to ghostride a yacht over Niagara Falls :)

It isn't designed to go off road: its designed to go very fast ON road - and on GOOD roads. That original pic is a little deceptive on ground clearance (but is a damned good picture of the car). This one gives you a little different perspective on the ground clearance.

I like Top Gear...

I also like this hot little Tesla:





Not to mention the hot guy sitting in it:



:D

Which I am watching as I read this post!

I got to ride home in a Lamborghini today - it's fun having your picture taken at EVERY intersection.

It's official: I now hate you.




Lucky bastard





Which one was it? Was it a Gallardo or something else?

well I did however get to see my first SRT-8 Challenger on friday...

at the 1/8th mile drags...
lined up in the lane next to me...
twice.

whooped his a$$...
soundly...



twice.

sumthin' to be said for 'oldskool'

2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (with the top down)

wicked

If you had DRIVEN it, I would be required to kill you out of spite.

It's good to have friends :)

I was curious, so I checked. It seems one can rent a Lamborghini for just $1,450 per day. I am not sure if it is a Gallardo or a Murcielago as the description says both and they show the Murcielago.
