Post by: danny_galaga on March 12, 2006, 08:03:42 am
also from the motor show, a ZONDA. never heard of them. somoe company called pagini or something. someone bought this one, about 1.3 million bucks! thing is, when you look inside. its outerly arsetastic! its an abomination. it even had goofy looking speakers jammed into the headrests...

i mean, if you are having trouble with room for the speakers, surely this is the better solution? (also from the show). stingray, dont cry! we're here for you!

I never will understand the point of needing to make a car's sound system more powerful than the car

Zonda isn't new.  It's in GT4 and Forza.
It's a pretty good looking car.  I like the carbin fiber and leather dash.
It was released in 1999

did you just bash the Pagani Zonda???  holy freaking crap.   :P

Obviously you're not familiar with it, and I don't think Pagani has a large presence (or any) in Austrailia... but you should really read up on it a bit, and try to grab some video reviews of it (especially the Top Gear one if you can grab it)

The looks are hit or miss, I'll give you that.  You either love it or hate it, but it is considered by a whole mess of people to be one of the best supercars ever created.  I think it's stunning, and the power behind it is simply drool-worthy.

Speed holes.  They each add 10 horsepower.

I think they are design only, not really sure to be honest.

5 point harness?  Many super cars have built in 5 point harness.

I thought that the first time I ever saw the interior, but you can see the normal seat belt clasps in the pic I posted, so it's unlikely.

And for the record, the seat belt clips in that interior look horrible and completely detract from what is otherwise a gorgeous (IMO) interior.  Boo for black and red plastic.

Sack-tappers and Muff-bumpers to increase your level of excitment while driving it.

Speed holes.  They each add 10 horsepower.

I think they are design only, not really sure to be honest.


I correct quote is:

Homer: [suspicious] Hey, what are all these holes?

Salesman: [quickly] These are speed holes.  They make the car go faster.

Homer: Oh, yeah.  Speed holes!
----------------------------------------
Homer, meanwhile, uses a pickaxe to make some speed holes in his own
car.


Ned: Whatcha diddely-doin', neighbor?

Homer: Aw, putting speed holes in my car.  Makes it go faster.

Ned: Is that so?  Well, gee, maybe the old Flanders-mobile could use some
