Nissan Skyline do you like
HAVING the right car for the conditions has helped local motor sport ace Stuart Inwood “clean up” during round five of the NSW Hillclimb Championships held at Grafton earlier this month.
Inwood took outright honours in his Nissan Skyline R33 GTR. He also recorded the fastest time for a tintop and as well as taking first place in the sports sedan class.
A mechanic by trade, an indication of Inwood’s fine form can be judged by the fact that the last time a tintop racer won the event outright was way back in 1999.
It was a big day for the Bathurst contingent who headed north for the weekend with Scott Tutton just being edged out by Inwood for the outright victory.
However, Tutton’s sizzling performance did earn him a win in his Type SV class.
Not to be outdone, David Tutton rounded off a big weekend for the locals with victory in the Improved Production Over 3000cc class.
Inwood yesterday described what a nail biting day it was at Grafton.
“There were six cars all within 100th of a second of each other for the last three runs,” he said.
“In the end the biggest battle came down to myself and Scott who was driving an EVO.
“He did a great job on his final run of the day and I was five cars later. I only just managed to bump him off the top spot.”

BMW E90 3 Series
The BMW E90 series is the fifth generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars. The car is also available as a touring (designated as E91), coupé (E92) and coupé cabriolet (E93). A high performance BMW M3 version of the E90, E92, and E93 is also available. It is the successor to the E46 model, and was launched in March 2005. The E90 is slated to be replaced in 2012 when a new 3 Series body is introduced.
In 2002, Head of Production Norbert Reithofer and Development Chief Burkhard Goeschel started an initiative to halve the time it took to reach full production of the next generation 3-series from six months to three. First marketed in March 2005, the car quickly became BMW Group's best selling automobile worldwide, and by the end of the year 229,900 vehicles had been delivered. It is by far the best-selling entry-level luxury car in Canada and the United States.

2012 Ford Mustang
On one hand, the 2012 Ford Mustang is a capable, even sophisticated coupe or convertible with a big range of talents, including 31-mpg highway fuel economy. On the other hand, it's a tire-smoking pony car rechristened last year with new powertrains and given a jolt of throwback goodness for this model year with the return of the Boss.
Mostly on the strength of the GT, the new Boss and the returning Shelby GT500, we're giving the Mustang a solid 8 out of 10 for its performance strengths, and even for its upscale luxury and tech features.
Last year, Ford brought back the "5.0" Mustang, with that displacement netting it 412 horsepower in the Mustang GT. Base models gained a new corporate 3.7-liter V-6 with 305 horsepower. The GT is our clear winner: it's a torque-happy engine with good throttle response and a sharp attitude, something the old modular V-8 strained to deliver even while it turned out decently competitive numbers.

Maybach exelero mota Dollar car
But wait, you say: the original Exelero used a twin turbo V12 yanked from the Maybach 57S, and it only made 700 horsepower. What gives?
Here comes the bad news, boys and girls: the Exelero that Lamborghini Geneva will build you is based on the Dodge Viper, not anything that started life as a Maybach sedan. In fact, the company has yet to release pictures of a completed car, which doesn’t bode well for either build quality or public interest. No matter how you slice it, $670,000 is an awful lot of money to pay for a re-bodied Viper, especially when you can’t see one up close and personal. On second thought, maybe that Knight XV isn’t so ugly after all.
