local hsv vxr

integra typeS(the one that can eat the dc2 type r)

monster-like m5

[leasaunce]

id say WOW to all the above cars, but id' say the M5 got my BIGGEST WOW!

[SuiCid3]

I've seen the M5 closeup..

VERY nice... very elegant...

Was one DISGUSTING colour though...

Brown... Seriously.. like... **** coloured brown... :o

Some cars I saw that weren't released last year but WOW'ed me something severe...

EVO IV, V, VI, VII.

Only seen the VII take off though.. Amazing..

As you can tell.. I'm an EVO fan boy.. :P

[BigBum]

That lexus IS250 sure has a nice bum!

[E-Gene]

My recent Wow car would be the Ford XR5, can't wait to test drive it.

[shaohaok]

a certain yellow pagani zonda S

Its not a car released this year, but it is a current model ... I had the great pleasure of driving a Mercedes E55 AMG earlier in the week for a wedding ... I was always impressed by what I had read about it, but to actually drive it was something else.

I'm a bit confused as to my best highlight, though ... my brain tells me its the ease with which a 500hp sedan overtakes other vehicles ... my stomach says its the meatballs I saw being made watching Huey's Cooking Adventures on the in-dash telly! :-)

That batman looking like car from Maybach, 2 door giant coupe that can spin burnouts at any gears.

Oh that's right, Maybach Exelero

The perfect car to go to board meeting for young and rich executive.

ST205 Toyota Celica GT-Four? Maybe I'm biased because I own one :P but at least I can beat those V8 monsters (Falcon GT and GT-P included) with ease, I'm happy with it!

but yes, the Veyron is definitely a wow-er. Not something I'd run against 18psi boost - at least I get better bragging rights with the amount of boost I'm running! hehe

Torque is 1250Nm @2200-5500rpm. Very usable power band! 736kW - as an article points out, that's more than four WRXs put together! :P it uses a custom-made Michelin tyre.

The Maybach Excelero was built to test tyres for the German tyre company Fulda(subsidiary company of Bridgestone) to test tyres for them hence the Excelero name. I'm currently running the Fulda Excelero's on my Stivo and they're great in the wet and the dry and nearly $100 a tyre cheaper than Yokoham C'drives.

If the Fulda can handle Exelero big power output and mountain moving level of tourqe, sounds to me the Fulda is a great tyre to have.
