Agent001 submitted on 4/12/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 9:54:10 PM

"There we found the perfect 135i competitor: a 300-horsepower, two-door, four-passenger, rear-drive sports car that comes in at $28,000, but can hit the mid-30s fully loaded. Then we sobered up and realized that nobody cross-shops a BMW against a Mustang. Read More

But after getting an interesting tip from ‘Thumper’ and seeing InsideLine post the image without being scared of any legal action from Ford, we couldn’t hold it in. Read More

Nissan GT-R Spec-V prototype burns upNissan GT-R Spec-V prototype burns up the 'Ring at 7:25

dlin submitted on 4/8/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 10:20:18 PM

The Spec-V GT-R is, of course, the higher performance variant that is expected to have not only more power, but also to trim down the standard GT-R's somewhat portly curb weight through the use of lighter carbon fiber components.
