Other than my friends 360 modena ....

the most stable car -
cadillac deville ( cruise control on -maximum speed- 179 km/h while raining and snowing - from halifax to new brunswick )

the most luxurious car -
Mercedes s600, dealership test drive ( 240 km/h - offduty cop stopped me - almost got a heart attact when he found out i was only 16 years old back then and i only had my liscense for 1 month )

the "best buy" suv (overall experince) -
toyota 4 runner SR5-V8 (rental) , the new look ... i loved the power, handling, look, and the way it drives overall ... i just loved it ... however i said "best buy" not "best suv" because there is the range rover (my friends )and the VW toureg (my friends) which are equipped with a sh*t lot of stuff and they are both excellent and fun suv's to drive :)

************************************************** *******
I would like to say a very useful piece of advice that will help anyone that is looking to buy a new car ... FERRARI - TOYOTA - BMW , are the best world transmissions respectively ... so you might wanna keep that in mind ;)
************************************************** *******

p.s.
if you have any questions about any car if your looking to buy ... plz feel free to ask and i would gladly tell you whatever you need to know about its overall performance because i beleive that i have driven ( through test drives and my friends cars) the biggest collection of cars out of everyone on this site :D

Friend's 360 Modena. For sure. Even though I drove it for about 5 metres, I could feel the quality. It was awesome just to see the prancing horse in front of me! Anyway, I've driven a V8 VP Commodore as well. It had a fair amount of grunt, but it was a shame it was an auto. Pretty cool.

Oooohhhhhhhh....you'll wish you never said that :D

Edit:

Ever drove a Matra-Alpine?
Ever drove a Jaguar D-Class?
Ever drove a Ford GT?
Ever drove a '90 Corolla?
Ever drove a Skyline GT-R?
Ever drove a Lancer Evolution VI, VII rally car?
Ever drove a 350z?
Ever drove a G35?
Ever drove a Mark II Twin Turbo?
Ever drove a Corvette?
Ever drove an El Camino?
Ever drove a New Beetle?
Ever drove an Eclipse?
Ever drove an Escort MkII?
Ever drove a Classic Mini?
Ever drove an '05 Mustang?
Ever drove an SL55 AMG?
Ever drove a G55 AMG?
Ever drove an Eclipse?
Ever drove a 9-3?
Ever drove an XC90?
Ever drove a B7?

I could go on and on and on, but I just wasted my time trying to explain one thing:
You HAVE NOT driven the most cars on this site
It doesn't matter anyway. If you drove all the family suvs and family cars on the planet - would it match driving a McLaren F1?

AS of right now it wold have to be my mum's 1979 VB Commodore. It's still great to drive even when it's running sick cause it keeps running and getting us from A to B and Z if needed. So on that i would say it's like a Family member to us we love it:D

On face value the old mans E36 M3 would probably be the best car based on personal experience, but up to 80km/h and 4000rpm which is all i took it, it wasnt as good as an AU Fairmont Ghia V8.

mduhair
02-21-2005, 03:13 AM
how do i attach a picture so i could show you how the lumina looks like in uae ?

clutch-monkey
02-21-2005, 03:15 AM
don't worry about it
four door = commodore
two door = monaro

otherwise, i think u have to go advanced, then manage attachments

mduhair
02-21-2005, 03:16 AM
yes ... the one ive driven is a 4 door

clutch-monkey
02-21-2005, 03:22 AM
yes ... the one ive driven is a 4 door
ooh..commodore then. quite different to monaro
ok, ok. have you driven a dodge viper or a corvette?

mduhair
02-21-2005, 03:34 AM
dodge-viper ( my dream car ) no i didnt :(

corvette ... yes :) 2 times :D i took one for a test drive from halifax, nova scotia, canada, Volvo/jaguar dealrship ... it was a black used one with around 45,000 km on it ... the manager went out with me on that one ... but i still had some fun ;) .... the other one is a friends silver Z06 in canada too ;)

Actually, the Chevrolet Lumina SS is quite different from the info you're recieving.

Lets start with the Lumina, shall we?
The Lumina is your common family Monaro, a 4 door. It comes in LS, L, and another type I forgot.

Then theres the Lumina S, looking somewhere like the Monaro, a 2 door, but just not as agressive. It comes with 220 HP

Then theres the Lumina SS, sporting a 5.7L 328 Hp engine. From the original you also get the SS Coupe, a luxourious version pumping 325 horsepower.
And theres the killer one. a Generation III Callaway Enhanced 5.7, giving out 400 running horses. The Lumina SS is 4 door and has a spoiler, unlike the Monaro.

ok, has he driven any of the above then? :P

mduhair
02-21-2005, 04:00 AM
:S what the hell r u talkin about ... i think he meant you when you were asking me about what kind of lumina i drove !! thats why he started to explain lumina that we have here in uae in detail ! not because i said something thats not true !!

clutch-monkey
02-21-2005, 04:04 AM
i know, you drove a four door lumina, i believe you
its just that i asked if you've driven a monaro which is simply
two doors + 350hp
i should have rephrased my post to "WHICH of the above has he driven"

Calm down, getting angry isn't going to get you anywhere. Note that he put this smiley...

...meaning that he was just joking.

The 220hp coupe would be the V6 Supercharged engine. We did have a V8 and V6 Monaro about 2 years ago.

It's funny how they names them, It was like they wanted to confuse people. the sedans should have been lumina and coupe called something else like Monaro:D CV6 CV8 and GTS:D
