Iconic GTR, Abu Dhabi Crash, Corvette Diablo, Nissan Z, & a VW Pickup - 03/12/2008

good + good = good is that siple 

Teh Corvambo looks something like an old nissan.. but looks better than 
the GTR, which looks like a pontiac solstice, crossed with a 67 shelby cobra =[

& why the hell werent you guys at the Cleveland auto show! i woulda gave you a high five there..

I thought here in Canada cars like the Vette-Diablo cross were banned due to international terrorism laws? I don’t know, but it sure terrifies me!

the corvette diablo is gross.  bamboo lashings should be passed out for attempting such combination.  

Corvette Diablo, LAMENESS......Iconic GTR KOOLNESS, new Nissan Z, we'll c. and V' DUB pickup dont care. good show.

Client #8, or the guy left on the cutting room floor of two women[, one dude], and a cup?

BTW nice hair on the headshot :O

Isnt that a copyright violation?  GTR is still cool, even if it is a total rip off of the cobra.

The lambovette is almost as bad as that Z car in florida with the blower out the hood I think I saw on vod cars or some site.  Seems like Alex from Polizei panned something along these lines at some car show too, and not the Toyota.  

I love Vettes but the C4 is a piece of crap
Nissan's 330HP VQ37 doesnt run like a real 330HP.  The G37 is slow as balls.  Not impressed.
The VW concept Pick-up looks like a Toyota Hilux.  Which I think it is. 

Lambo-Vette?  Who came up with that idea?  HOW FUGGIN RETARDED CAN YOU GET?  Both cars were fine as they were.  Looks like someone ran over a Barbie Corvette. 

Nissan 370Z, yeah I saw that story somewhere else about 2 months ago.  Good thing Nissan didn't change the body much.  I like the way it looks.  And with that quad exhaust?  Sweet.

I seriously doubt that Iconic GTR will hit the 200mph.  Too much drag from the wind.  I'd rather buy a Cobra kit with a 428.  It's actually cheaper than the Iconic, and people know exactly what you're driving.

I hope VW doesn't do the pickup idea.  Hmm, what would be next...a luxury model from Audi and/or Porsche using the same frame?

That lambo corvette thing is god awful!! just gross...

I wish I could go to the NY Auto Show, I'd give you a nice high five Derek D...good show today

Corvette/Lambo idea is just plain bad....Corvettes have a history laced with smallblock V8's, anything different is just a dumb idea.  Cool one time idea, but I hope its the last one I ever see.

For those who are going to the NYIAS, make sure you record the moment when you give Mr.DeAngeli a high five. I just want to know if he keeps his gameface in RL or if he slaps you back in the face. 

just messin. 

Back on topic. Would this iconic's GTR name clash with the new nissans GTR? kinda like pontiacs GTO and mitsubishi GTO(3000GT) 

/shrugs shoulders.

wow i guess those crazy drivers in Dubai who get up on the two side wheel or surf in there sandals along there speeding car finally caught up to them... but the question begs how can 200+ cars NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID THE SOME 199 other crashed cars in front of them?

Damn DD Client #8 you look like lance bass... or justin timberlake from back in the days. hahahaha

haha



suckers

FLD, your show is only 5 minutes long...so WHY ON EARTH would you waste some of it on a horrible vette-lambo kit? Honestly, an ugly-ass kit experiment is newsworthy? If so I can send you an update on a Fiero-based F40 i saw the other day.
Cmon FLD, you guys are better than that.

Im happy a new automaker (Iconic) is entering the scene...and I like the Cobra-esqe nature...but whats the deal with niche builders and the 200 mph, under 4-sec club? We hear of  so many of them now. Cant they try and build something just slightly more reasonable...for the masses?

Next gen Z is huge news for Nissan lovers...but why no new styling? I dont get it. Kindof a letdown I think.

Lookin forward to the reports from the Auto Show. 

Dear Fast Lane Daily,

We Love ya!

Request:

Could you guys hunt down rumors of possible replacements for affordable MR (Mid-engine-engine behind the driver) platforms for normal mortals..

It's been decades since the Fiat X1/9, Pontiac Fiero, Toyota MR-2.

I've been waiting for years for someone to finally come out with a replacement of a mid-engined car that's affordable for the masses. A under ,000 sticker would be awesome.

Please find some and report on them.

Corvette + Lambo = BAD!!!
The new Z loox sweet tho
