Instruction for buyers of car parts

Car fans may be in a position to get the details of new car accessories from various web sites. There are very many web sites that offer comprehensive information to consumers of the car accessories. One may also find new car accessories from auctions that take place online (eBay, or other). Internet sellers can also offer new accessories at lower prices since their overheads are essentially less.

Only original car accessories

Once the car accessories have been selected, one can shop around and compare the various price offers. Due to special demands for these types of things, one will find many shops offering the unique parts. Before buying at Internet market, ensure that you gain a full information regarding the car accessory since one may come across unfair sellers who claim to have the most original car accessories and charge exorbitantly for them.

Find out the add-ons to the accessories being bought by inquiring from persons who have purchased the parts to avoid buying other accessories that may not necessarily be part of the main accessory that is required.

Trust only to authoritative dealers!

The accessory should be inspected properly to ensure that it is as ordered. This will guarantee from sellers who require one to sign on the receipt waving their right to return such parts in case they are faulty or non-standard. For people purchasing in online store this option of returning faulty parts may not be available. Such purchases therefore should only be from a dealer who is really reputable.

Ferrari Testarossa F512 M

The Ferrari Testarossa F512 M is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari.
The F512 M was powered by a 4.9 litre (302 cubic inches) Ferrari Colombo Flat-12 engine.
BTW, the name Testarossa means "red head" in Italian and the car was named that because the cam covers were painted red.
Of course it has a double meaning because Ferrari regularly uses terms related to a female's body when describing the style of their automobiles.
You have to love the Italians!
Anyway, the Flat-12 engine puts out 440 horsepower and 406 foot pounds of torque.
That allows the F512 M go from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, 0-100 in 10.2 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at 112 mph.
The maximum speed of the F512 M is 196 mph.
In 1995, the F512 M retailed for $220,000.

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

I did a write up on the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish back in 2007 in relation to the James Bond movie "Die Another Day"
But here is the real world Vanquish.

In 1998, a GT concept car, the Project Vantage, debuted at the North American International Auto Show.
The Vanquish was based on that car.
But the Vanquish S is the real barnstormer.
The Vanquish is powered by a a 5.9 liter 48-valve 60° V12 engine, which puts out 514 horsepower and 425 ft·lbs of torque.
That gave the Vanquish a 0 to 60 time of about 4 seconds and a top speed in the 190-204 mph range.
The base price was around $250,000.

And if that's not enough, Top Speed is reporting the new 2010 Vanquish S may be putting out 550 mph.

Ferrari Challenge Stradale

The Ferrari Challenge Stradale is a variation of the Ferrari 360 Modena.
When the car was created, the designers were thinking 20% track use in mind and 80% road use.
And it shows in the performance.
The Challenge Stradale's 90° F131 V8 engine only puts out about 25 more horses (425) than the Modena, but the car is lighter, giving it a superior power to weight ratio.
It has a 0 to 62 mph time of just 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 183 mph.
(Although the 2008 version is said to pull 0-60 in 3.9 seconds)
The Stradale can pull the quarter mile in about 12.5 seconds at 114.1 mph.

The official performance figures for the RS6 Avant are:
0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds.
0 to 124 in 13.1 seconds.
It has an electronically governed top speed of 155.3 mph, but you can get a factory option that bumps that figure up to 192.6 mph.
To keep the V-10 cool, the RS6 needs seven radiators, and four electric cooling fans.
Unfortunately, the RS6 Avant will not be available in the U.S., but a sedan was unveiled in August 2008, and will probably be offered in North America.

2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG

While not quite as powerful as the CL65 AMG, the 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG was still a force to be reckoned with.
Motor Trend described it as "Arnold Schwarzenegger in an Armani tuxedo".
Powered by a 493 horsepower, supercharged 5.4 liter single overhead cam V-8, the CL55 could turn the quarter mile in 12.38 seconds at 114.45 mph.
The listed top speed of the CL55 was 155 mph, but that's because of the electronic governor that most German manufacturers (except Porsche) place on their cars.

The CL55 was based on the Mercedes-Benz W215 platform and was produced in limited numbers (around 500 in the US) between 2000 and 2002.

The base price of the CL55 was $114,600.
And the fuel economy was 14 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway.

Porsche Turbo X50

The Porsche Turbo X50 is a $17,000 option available for the Porsche 996.
The Porsche 996 was a water-cooled version of the famous air-cooled Porsche 911 sports car.
The X50 package boosted the 996 turbo up to 450 horsepower and 457 pounds of torque.
That allowed the X50 to cover the quarter mile in 11.86 seconds at 119.91 mph, and gave it a 0–60 mph time of about 3.6 seconds.
There were also a few modeling changes in the 996, like wider rear wings and different front lights and bumpers from the Porsche Carrera.
The 996 also had large vents on the front bumper, that were used on the Carrera 4S and Cayenne Turbo.

PS:
We're getting rid of our 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas.
