Went out for milk.....and came back with this. *PICS*
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
Grand Touring. Yeah, you can tell it's 50/50. It's super predictable, and forgiving. -

It was a joke. P.S. They're still only Formulas. -
Sorry....Zonda's have the best note.

Wow!!! :drool:

I've been wanting to plan a trip for a LONG time.

Formulas are wannabe Trans Ams. -

Cool, thanks...I'll keep that in mind. It's weird driving it, without the grunt of the LS1....but, I like it for what it is. I was getting a bit tired of the straight line performance format. Thanks. Yeah, same here.... HAHA Thanks man. I will be getting new wheels soon. Hmmmm. LOL Though, I might want to hold onto the stockers....for the winter. -

LOL It definitely won't break any land speed records. Yeah....plans are already in the works. Already looking at wheels (first thing). Wheels are always the first thing I change on my cars. Performance mods....new intake, exhaust, etc.....and I'm looking at my Turbo/SC options as well. -

LOL It's actually not as bad as some people make it out to be....though, I was told it might be a good idea to keep a quart in the trunk. -
http://www.mintyfreshproductions.com/pics/eight1.jpg http://www.mintyfreshproductions.com/pics/eight2.jpg Finally picked up my Eight. I'm really liking it so far....it's a totally different animal than the TA. And it's taking some getting used to. The Powerband is nice though....it's got a pretty even pull, 'round 4,500 it opens even more....it's pretty crazy hearing it scream at 7,000+ RPM's too. It's balanced VERY well....and handles incredibly. Makes the TA seem extremely sluggish, like a boat...handling-wise. More impressions later....just thought I'd post a couple pics.

Hmmmm...I'd love too. Trying to think which date will be better for me....probably August 4th. What are the differences in the routes?

I can't wait! We've alredy got tickets for the preview on Monday (2nd) night at 8 PM. Movie looks like it's gonna be sick!

I disagree about the same "mod system". In the sense that the tuning index is much deeper this time around. With the telemetry read outs that are available, the new tire physics, and the updated car physics engine....as far as sims go, Forza 2 pretty much blows everything out of the water (excpet maybe GT2). How deep you can get with a tune is incredible. It definitely, from a simulation stand point, puts Gran Turismo to shame imo. I'm personally not bugged by not having music during the racing....I'm a car nut, I wanna hear engine sounds, screaching tires, and bent fenders....not a techno track blasting over my speakers. The only "major" things I can knock on it about....are the graphics, they're just not quite up to par, and the jaggies are terrible. And it could have used some more tracks.

Been playing a bit this afternoon....here's my Solstice so far. Nothing special....just started messin' around. (Will do something more involved later) The wheels I have are Fikse, so figured I'd do a Fikse sponsered car. http://picsorban.com/upload/fm2_solstice2.jpg http://picsorban.com/upload/fm2_solstice3.jpg http://picsorban.com/upload/fm2_solstice4.jpg

Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
Nah, it's Black. My plates say "M1NTY". (I responded to your post in the Vette thread.) -
Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
Yeah...I don't mind going far to get the car I want. Will give them a call. Thanks. And yeah, it's a quick little car....with 228 RWHP out of the box, weighing only 2,900 lbs., it's got some get-up-and-go. Also, I've heard they handle really well....50/50 weight distribution. -
Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
That's what I'm gonna find out. My brother-in-law is 6'0", and fit fine. He said it might be a tight fit for me....but you sit so low in the car. We'll see I guess. LOL Yeah...White is probably the front running color for me...it looks great in White, and you don't see too many people with that color, even online. -
Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
It's not as bad as it was in the beginning....but they are still kinda hard to find. I think they've stopped taking orders for 07's...and started taking orders for 08's. -
Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
Meh, M3's are cool....I really like them, but they've lost their appeal imo. Too me, they're not as inspiring as a lot of other cars out there. And...look to similar to the millions of other 3 series' that you see everyday. And if I was gonna get an M3, I'd probably say screw it...and just go for a new 335i. S4 is another good car....but I could think of several other cars I'd rather have. -
Going to look at a Sky Redline this week!
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Passing Lane
I like them both, but I like the Sky much better. I honestly think it's one of the best looking cars GM has produced in decades. -
In my search for a fun DD, I'll be looking at the Sky Redline this week. Over the past few days I've been reading up on them, doing research, etc.....and they've grown on me quite a bit. My brother-in-law drove one of the regular models, a little while ago, and loved it....he said he was sure I'd like the Redline. If I end up really liking it....it could end up being the car I get next month. What do you guys think of them? http://picsorban.com/upload/skyrl1.jpg I'm still trying to figure out what color I like the best on them too.

Corvette Spring Fling 07 at Hooters (Polaris) May 19th
Minty Fresh replied to Minty Fresh's topic in Events
Sunbury? You sure? Not over there that much...ever. (I live over by Polaris) I go to the Easton area every so often, but not really on Sunbury Rd. I did see you like a week ago though....on Lazelle Rd. I knew it was you, because of the window stickers. Car looks nice. -

Ah...that's cool. Damn, that sucks! Yeah...I figured parking would be crazy.
