Thinking of an "up"grade to a Conti

Subaru is the other manufacturer using boxer engines.

Subaru is not as sweet as porky. In addition, without forced induction, Subaru sux. For 2L Legacy, d output is 75hp/L

 

Likewise, Porky Carrera 2 output is 95hp/L.

Just sharing an insightful article on 911 and GTR

Juz to share. In today car world what is conti may not be real conti, and what is jap may no longer real jap.

 

Opel, Vauxhall and Saab are owned by General Motor. So we can say that it is essentially US blood with conti badge.

 

GM also owned some good shares on FIAT which in turn developed Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo.

 

Citroen and Peugeot parent has some kind of joint venture with Mitsubishi and Mini and Mitsubishi has some joint venture with Chrysler.

 

Merc was once merged with Daimler Chrysler although is now breaking apart slowly.

 

Chrysler has a joint venture to produce mini van with VW who controls Audi, Lambo, Seat, Bently, Skoda and Bugatti. VW is still german that is slowly being taken over by Porche another conti independent.

 

Renault is essentially heading Nissan and thanks to a Gwelio (angmo) it breaks jap gentleman agreement (horse-power restrain) and producing the GTR we have today.

 

Ford has a good grip on Volvo and Mazda and some share on Aston Martin, while Jaguar and Land Rover is officially Indian Tata.

 

BMW is another conti independent owns Rolls Royce and Mini and use Toyota diesel engine for some of mini

You got it wrong, I earn only $2,500 per month nowhere near $10,000

Can buy 525i in cash becos, everyday eat handouts and drink tap water.

Save about $2,000 per month for the last 8 yrs

 

thats how I do it, please dont follow me

 

 

haha.. then need to save for a daytona oso leh or rather you already have 1

[Throttle2]

The Daytona, I get from saving all the 5 cents that i pick up after some kind souls leave behind. Dont look down on 5 cents. Over 10 yrs, many 5 cents can buy a Daytona.

In a lucky day, i can pick up as many as 100 5 cent coins! I bot Daytona so that i can be punctual for work and so that I can time how quickly i wipe the tables.

 

[Throttle2]

Does this mean that our next cars must all be Nissan GTRs liao?

 

[Falc]

yucks ....

[Falc]

wow, nice summary ...

[Silver_blade]

Good points.

 

To me, what make a conti, a conti are:-

1) The heritage of it's make,

2) Country where it was developed and developed for,

 

Nationality of it's parent co.....is less important.

[Yattokame]

A good example is Lotus. It's been churning out great cars lately unlike its parent company.

What Mark said is correct.

 

In my opinion, Porsche should do away all d non-S version. That would allow Caymen S to grow to 320hp.

 

Even though R35 could whip almost every single super ka, my heart still goes to Porky (Btw R35 & Porky).

[Falc]

Any one? Not all porsche are created equal.

[Chrispie]

paiseh.. what is porky huh?

[Throttle2]

Porky = Porsche

Sporty = Sportster

lol!!! you need a daytona to be punctual.. futher more can keep track of how fast you clear table with its chrono function correct? i think you need a Audemars Piguet T3 Offshore its more accurate... hehee
