Nice! I like the lines better than the Z4, but four seats?! Doesn't BMW have a wild Lambo type replacement for the Z8 coming out? And Brian, do you know anything about the Z2? Someone just mentioned it to me, but I don't know anything about it. From what he said, it sounds more Miata than Z4.

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Gary...I'm not sure if we're thinking about the same thing...but they have made a concept of a smaller car...but I don't think they've named it the "Z2"

 

[WDWFREAK53]

There are 2...the first is the X Coupe...which I don't like...(although you should see how the "trunk" opens :lol: )

 

[WDWFREAK53]

This is the CS1 Concept...(which is more of what I'd consider as a Miata type)

 

[WDWFREAK53]

here's the back of it

 

[garyhoov]

Thanks!! I kind of like the looks of the X coupe, but I'm afraid it won't have enough guts since the idea seems to be to make it more affordable. If they can keep the weight down, it may not have to have outrageous power.

Has anyone heard anything about the McClaren F2. A friend at school, told me they were making one but I havent heard anything about it.

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Sorry Turbo...I haven't hear anything about it...
If I do...I'll let you know

I found this: The article says it will only have a 1.8 liter engine though.

Ohhhhh that looks like a production model!!! (Hey Gary...if it's a 1.8Turbo...this car might MOVE!) (It's small enough)

Yeah, surely a car that small would really move with a 1.8, even without the turbo.

I'm hoping to get this car over the summer!

Ok...Motor Trend has done a comparison for us Gary

200ft skidpad, lateral g: 0.93
600ft slalom, mph: 68.3
EPA mpg, city/hwy: 18/26

Well, just my opinion...but...for $13,000 less...I'll take the BMW and put the rest of the dough towards something like a motorcycle or something else fun. ($13,000 doesn't justify 0.2 seconds 0-60, slightly worse handling (notice the slalom), slightly more HP, and worse gas mileage)

(Hehe, although...don't buy just yet...look what's RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!)

I know a few of you have VW's and I just thought that I'd inform you:

VW/Audi is recalling 530,000 cars to replace ignition coils.

The cars affected are:
2001, 2002, and early 2003 models of the following:

1.8-liter/turbo-equipped Audi A4 & TT, VW Golf, Jetta, New Beetle, and Passat.
2.8-liter/VR 6-equipped VW's
3.0-liter/V-6-equipped Audis
VW Passat W8

(which weren't recalled??? (the Eurovan?!?!?))

VW and Audi will give you alternate transportation while the work is being done on your car (gee...isn't that nice of them)

I travel this land packed tight in a minivan!

(Okay, so I don't drive a cool car, per say, but that is a line from kid rock song - sort of - that adds to my cool factor, right? Please?)
