better than other prototypes

DJJSR · 07-09-2008, 03:48 AM

VERY nice! I'll take one in Laguna blue, please. And no, I don't want a hardtop.

gomarlins3 · 07-09-2008, 06:26 AM

Not bad on paper, but lets see the real thing.

Ha-Ha. You did say that DJ... lol

DJJSR · 07-09-2008, 10:42 AM

Hmmmm.........I guess I did say that. Now I don't know what the heck to do. How about if I paint one with flat black rattle cans?

Then just buy the "stolen" one on ebay.. lol

kgf3076 · 07-11-2008, 05:39 AM

Not to stir up any crap here, but you know, if I stole a car and wanted to sell it, the last place I'd advertise it would be eBay. The first place anyone who had a clue would look would be on eBay. Now, that's not to say that people who steal things are geniuses (or even smarter than the average box of hammers) but I think even thieves have a modicum of intelligence (after all the S isn't the easiest car to steal)

DJJSR · 07-11-2008, 06:01 AM

My hammers are offended.

Here's more on this. Just turn to page 7. Looks to me like a 350Z. Not sure about the rear either.

It looks more like a nextgen stewie than a 350z (...370z??? or whatever they will call it in the future!)

s2000isu · 07-24-2008, 08:33 PM

thats a nice toyota there.

chazdawg35 · 07-24-2008, 08:36 PM

OMG! They lied to me I was told that was Stewie 2

s2000isu · 07-24-2008, 08:53 PM

Java Junky · 07-24-2008, 09:36 PM

Every car that'z ever gotten me to siddupp'n pay attention'n that'z been "improved" (by the suitz that actually get paid t'doo that kind'a thing) has invariably been taken afield from the original spec'n traitz whut made it noteable.
Whenever they talk'uv "improvin" Stewie, two thingz come'ta mind:
1) The song "Another One Bitez the Dust", n'
2) Startin'a look fer a low-mileage replacement AP2 fer my current Stewie ta stash in'a back'a the garage until such time'z it'z needed.

s2kx2 · 07-24-2008, 11:04 PM

This is the cars best angle other than that ... in my not so humble opinion ... you can keep it

I really like it, but doubt that it's a replacement for the S2000. Most noticeably because of the very short front end.

The next time you open the hood of your car, look at the location of the engine. It is entirely behind the centerline of the front axles. That's the key to getting near perfect weight distribution front to rear.

If the car in that picture has the engine behind the front axles, number 4 cylinder is in the cupholder.

Its very likely that this was just a design study that never made it through an engineering department.

If any of you are interesteed in automotive engineering check this out, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...24456318931568

Its a long video and not very thrilling, but very interesting and gives a good insight into the great car.

Java Junky · 07-25-2008, 08:00 AM

Obviously youze guyz ain't heard about the new Honda radial.

Neil · 07-25-2008, 10:36 AM

If you visit the U.K. auto show , it reveals more photos of the above vehicle. The rear end looks like a 350z

Java Junky · 07-25-2008, 11:02 AM

'Lookz like a @*#&in' road-goin' pokemon.

s2k2000 · 07-25-2008, 01:01 PM

very different like they said earlier looks ok on paper lets see it in real life it never turns out the same

JDMzimbo · 07-25-2008, 01:23 PM

That thing looks amazing!

H20 · 07-25-2008, 01:38 PM

I suppose, if I had never seen a beautifull roadster before, and grew up with them, and currently own one (07S2k), I might like that mitsuyotasanaudi thing.
But I have, did, do and I don't!
