http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=319549

check out this interesting post...

please check out the CLS at the bottom... I have never seen those wheels.. they look really nice.. NOT as nice as the AMG 19's, but nice for the CLS500.

the NEW S is nice... its growing on me. It would be nice with darker colors..

4 wheels
1. Clean the Garage
2. Add some better lighting
3. Get a HEPA filter or some **** to clean the air
4. Clean the cars
5. Get a larger garage
6. Educate those Acura drivers on what the new S can do and how it does not look like a Lexus.
7. I wany my S63 now along with JakPro1 with every bloody option.

He also has a bunch of P-Cars in his garage though, i highly doubt he would ever buy a Skyline from 2F2F. Although he does look like some one who would buy a Ford GT.

The new S looks like ***. I hate it! Looks like a cross between the maybach and the BMW 7 series.

That's exactly what I thought, the interior of the S class is definetley a 7 series interior, but the exterior is really nice

humor me, please

No one said anything about the Good Humor truck.
I'm going to send the link to my friend from New York. He is in Tucson selling Ice cream in Good Humor trucks that look like they fell off the truck. He will kill himself when he sees the good humor truck. It looks almost new.
He says they are priceless!!!!!!

The rims on that CLS are the CLS "Launch Edition" rims.

That Skyline started life as a Black R34 GT-R Vspec which was purchased by MotoRex, Inc when I was a sales rep there. It was then transformed into the the so-called Motorex "Blackbird" and was modded to just over 500+whp with a small Apex turbo upgrade and some other BPU mods. I was able to drive it in Blackbird trim on a few occasions and it was a seriously scary street car, the wheels never spun, it put every horse to the ground with no issues! But then again all Skyline GT-R's do that unless your pushing 600+whp in which case all 4 wheels will light up! The Blackbird was featured in the May '01 Sport Compact Car magazine entitled, "Stupid Fast" along with my personal R33 GT-R Vspec. After that, the Blackbird was purchased by a gentlemen by the name of Craig Leiberman who then turned the Blackbird into the car you see in the pics which ended up being used in F&F2!

re. shark fin radio/gps antennae

currently it looks like the world of auto styling is following the "lead" of lexus and, increasingly, bangle's bimmer boobery. except none of these big-ticket luxo carmakers have their stuff in order enough to know how to hide or at least appealingly integrate the new satellite antennae.

the next styling revolution -- the one that really gets right with these new antennae -- should look something like this, if we're lucky...

Something is off with these pics. Craig then sold the car to Ride Revolution and its now black again along with a lot of other changes and it has been for a while? Its pretty clear this is a movie house car lot of some sort and I would bet that S class was a very early pre release for some production company. The dates on those pics have to be way off unless someone built a replica of the GTR for a double car for the moive, Of course with the price and rarity of the R34s that would seam odd. Also that CLS is a very early launch edition.

I am guessing the White R-33 from MotoRex was your car?

Come to think of it, its certainly possible that there was a replica built because they really hammered on it in the movie! If it was mine, I wouldnt want it anymore after that! My R33 was Silver. It had 18x10 all around Nismo LM GT-1 rims and was dropped in case you wanted to know. You probably saw it, it spent a lot of time at MotoRex. The License plate said UDI4SUR, lol!

BTW, the Tokyo Motor Show starts on the 19th, and it is should be where we will get our first glimpse of the production version of the new GT-R which was first shown at the 2001 TMS as the GT-R Concept. If you are a Skyline fan of any kind, this is BIG BIG news!

I have seen that car not sure where, Love those Nismo rims. I only visited MotoRex a few times and that was towards the end, not sure how long you stuck it out there.

I had plans to attend the Tokyo show this year but with our race schedule and SEMA coming up just to much to do in a short time. I do look very forward to some friends sending pics back ASAP though. It so should be very interesting what it looks like in the new GT-R trim.

How would you compare it to the CLS in terms of visual impact???? Picture the S-class with some nice rims and perhaps a tasteful body kit.
