Recently I was blown away by the performance/styling package of the "HKS BNR34 Driving Performer", and thought it would be an idea to make a thread about impressive modified street cars. This thread is setup as a reference to exceptional modified STREET cars and places where you can find information about them. Don't bother posting up pcitures and info of cars with dirty big drag slicks, or race slicks on them. I'm only interested in looking at modified street cars that have a balance of performance and styling and that still retain all the driveability a street car should have. The car can be any make or model so long as they have something special which sets them apart from others or are a custom one off, but should have a balance of all aspects of modifying. HKS BNR34 DRIVING PERFORMER    This car also has a full leather trim in Robson leather, and looks the Super car the R34 GT-R should have been. Engine - HKS RB28det 'Kai' with V-cam Turbo - T04Z Max Power - 478kw (650ps) Featured in - High Performance Imports - GT-R special Number 5 Best Motoring DVD - RB Japanese Muscle Another car that sprung to my mind while I was thinking about this thread was by legendary American Hotrod builder Steve Moal. Zausner Torpedo Roadster   How does a built-from-scratch hot rod with a 5.5 liter, 485 horsepower Ferrari V-12 grab you? Draped in aluminum bodywork still dripping from the classic Alfa + Touring gene pool, with an interior of ostrich hides and precision, machined controls. Craftsman Steve Moal and patron Eric Zausner did it, and they call it the Torpedo. Thats right ... Eric Zausner decided building your 'typical' Hot Rod was just too easy and common. He wanted one styled like a classic Ferrari, but with the power of a modern one, so he commissioned Steve Moal to build this little gem  Featured in - Rides (Television show) - Feature on Steve Moal's workshop This post has been edited by GTRVspec95: Nov 10 2005, 09:35 PM -------------------- HIPOWER RACING

Being from the United Kingdom and all, I thought I would post a picture of one of my most desired cars (much more than any Japanese Import). Personally I think the styling of European cars far outweighs those of the Japanese, however, although there's alot of competition, much respect for both styles. QUOTE Aston Martin’s hand-built 6.0-litre V12 is renowned as one of the finest engines in the world: enormously powerful, smooth and beautiful. It can also lay claim to being the world’s best-sounding high performance car engine. In the Vanquish S, it reaches its zenith. Maximum power is 520 bhp (388 kW) at 7000 rpm, with maximum torque of 425 lb ft (577 Nm) at 5800 rpm. Such power delivers sterling performance. Indeed, this is the fastest-ever road going Aston Martin. Top speed is more than 200 mph (321 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) dash is accomplished in only 4.8 seconds while 0-100 mph (160 km/h) takes just 9.8 seconds. But it is the mid-range acceleration that is truly sensational; 50-70 mph (80-112 km/h) takes only 6.5 seconds in sixth gear. Overtaking is effortless.  |

if it counts, the dahlback racing golf is pretty amazing. audi quattro 5 cyl destroked to 2.1 spun 614kw @ wheels @ 39 psi... can be run at 48psi(!!!) but dyno is rendered useless. it also runs the audio quattro awd. over $300,000 spent on it. check out the ZOOM: kilowatt kings issue if you can get your hands on it, you can begin to comprehend the amount of work that has gone into this car. |

This is a car you can buy from an Audi dealership as standard, even if it's possibly the worlds fastest production Station wagon. |

What to post when someone has already put up the Hennessey Motorsports Viper (Dammit totally forgot about that car |

) and a Nut bag Ferrari from the factory ...
] everything you see here has been designed and built for this particular car, all custom. The massive KKK K27 turbine and Blitz wastegates have found a home behind the massive V12 where they compress the air up to 1.2 Bar and feed the twin top-mounted intercoolers, again all custom built. This engine bay is something you just can't stop looking at...

OK So it won't beat the Lamborghini in holy-crap-this-is-fast stakes, but it's pretty damn admirable in its own right. Hell I don't really like the F50 but you gotta like this (it was released 6 years ago). |

QUOTE(RetardedMonkey @ Nov 12 2005, 11:04 AM) GTRVspec95 - are we keeping this to 'modified' cars, or are we able to post stock production cars with high HP figures? i know the Aston I posted is like the best car ever, even without any mods. so i guess you decide? This topic would be for cars made by Tuning Houses, like Nismo, Ralliart, etc. I guess. Even the best performing stock cars (Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche and the like) have been modded by tuning houses, example Porsche and RUF. |
