RunX rsi vs Golf GTi

As you know there’s always a constant war between the RunX rsi and the Golf GTi, I’ve always been a VW fan but I know there’s power under the X. The X is a 1.8L that produces 141kw@7800 and 180nm@6800, the Golf is a 2.0L that produces147kw@5100 and 280nm@1800 and its turbocharged.

In late September 2005, the Mk5 R32 went on sale in Europe. It features an updated 3.2-litre VR6 engine of that fitted to the previous Mk4 version. That also produces 184 kW

Value for money? I would go for the X just because it looks good, has the power and a good fuel economy. But at the end of the day it’s all down to the driver…

Sideways

Drifting is something I still want to do, you have to know all the techniques and how to go about bringing the car sideways.
I’ve seen videos and been at drift events but I want to feel how it will be to be sitting in the car, well I know you have to keep traction
In the rear wheels though turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed.

You also have to be sitting in the right car to get the job done like… Nissan Silvia/180SX/200SX/240SX, Toyota AE86, Toyota KE70, Mazda RX-7, Mazda RX-8, Infiniti G35 Coupe, Nissan A31 Cefiro, Nissan C33 Laurel, Nissan Skyline (AWD versions, such as the GT-R, are often converted to RWD), Nissan 350Z, Toyota Altezza/Lexus IS, Toyota Chaser, Toyota Mark II, Toyota Soarer, Honda S2000, Toyota Supra, Dodge Viper SRT 10, Ford Mustang and Mazda Miata/MX-5. Its really like art you have to love it!

Easy drifting guys

Golf 24

VW has developed a very special Golf, with its 2,5-litre turbocharged engine that pushes out an amazing 324kW and 540 N.m of torque. The power is delivered to all four wheels and has a sequential six speed transmission.

The Golf took part in the 24-hour race at Nürburgring and looks to be very successful, with its wide bodykit and fat wheels the power should be enough to keep this baby on the road.
Ive always been a VW fan and this golf looks real good! I can just imagine all the power that goes threw the wheels, just makes you want to drive it.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

The all new Lamborghini is instantly recognisable with its beautiful curves and lines,
Its called the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 - 4 with its 6.5L V12 that puts out 515kw @ 690nm Of touque.

Running an extraordinarily high compression ratio of 11.8:1 for an engine of its size, the Aventador’s V12 has substantially increased bores (95mm versus the Murciélago’s 88mm, facilitated by a stroke reduction from 89 to 76.4mm), which Lamborghini says enables its new supercar to accelerate effortlessly from crankspeeds as low as 1000rpm in fifth gear

The first Avendators are expected to be delivered to customers by October 2011 at an international export price of R2.7-million, and yes if i had the money i would buy myself one.

What an amazing car!

BMW M5

BMW will launch the new M5 in 2011, the super saloon variant of the F10-series new 5-series family. Our artist's impression reveals how the hot Five will look at launch next March, after a show debut in late 2010 or early 2011

 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo
578bhp, 530lb ft
155mph limited top speed
0-62mph 4.4sec
Unlimited top speed 188mph

That direct-injection 4.4 lump is the same engine you'll find under the hood of the X5 M and X6 M, but further tweaked by M Division to liberate more power. Forced induction makes it the first M saloon to be turbocharged.
