I really hate doing this but...

To show off their engineering prowess, the Zender Company built the Zender Fact 4 as a demonstration vehicle. Occasionally Zender teases the world with an original sports car design, but in the end, it continues to make conversions and body kits.

The main problem with the Zender Company has been economic, so even though a series of promising prototypes have been unveiled, they remain only prototypes.

For our draft purposes I think this car would have to be considered a concept car.

[psycho_demonata]

Lol bloody hell. I was told it wasn't a concept anymore....

But for now I'll go ahead and my next pick and change up the other pick if you guys all agree it's a concept...I keep doing this .... >.<

[psycho_demonata]

Oh crap, is it even my turn next? but my repick is below anyways ...

[psycho_demonata]

Okay so instead of the Zender Fact 4 that Lemming pointed out that it was a concept, I shall repick it and put the Cizeta Moroder V16T in 80s category.

[GirlySports]

Think I may have messed up the clock somewhere withe the AK's and repicks.

psyco.. it's your pick now 17th round.

Sorry man. The info in my link might be old... the only reason I noticed was that in my scramble yesterday to find a different Exotic car I came across the Zender and thought it looked cool until it looked like it was never actually produced.

The Cizeta Moroder V16T is a cool choice though, I found that one yesterday aswell and was debating using it as my Exotic. A car with a V16 engine is crazy.

[psycho_demonata]

haha yes! its crazy, i mean how many cars out there has a v16 engine eh?

anyhoo my next pick then ... I'll pick the Ford Torino Cobra and will put that under the 70s category.

What do I have to re-pick, and how many picks do I get? I will try and get them all in, but I have no idea how many I need to do, nor what I need to re-pick.

[TimSJ]

Working on a pick right now.. back with it soon

I'm guessing the re-pick is related to when you picked that Mercedes as your Sedan in the 12th round but you modified your original post to change the pick to the Bentley so I think you are okay. I will have to defer to GirlySports for an official ruling though.

As for how many picks you get... I think your last pick was in the 12th round (the Bentley re-pick) so after Tim makes his pick here I believe you will have 5 picks to make to get caught up. Good luck.

[TimSJ]

for my 90'2 car i will select the Mercedes (i know you are suprised) 500E.

I have been trying to find myself one of these cars for a couple of years now. Love them

Between 1991 and 1995, Mercedes-Benz sold a sport version of the W124, the Mercedes-Benz 500 E, created in close cooperation with Porsche. Each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche, being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen during assembly---taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Between 1992 and 1995, Mercedes/Porsche built a total of 10,479 500 E's[1]. Of these, 1505 of the "super" sports sedans were imported into the USA between 1992-1994, or roughly 500 cars per year of importation. Called '500 E' through model year 1993, for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to 'E 500'.

The 500 E had a dual camshaft 32-valve 4973 cm3 V8 engine naturally aspirating 326 hp (240 kW) and 480 N·m (354 ft·lbf), with the engine being derived from the 500 SL (R129) roadster. Sports car braking performance also came from SL components: front SL 500 300 mm disks with 4-piston calipers came installed on the 1992 and early 1993 cars. The later 1993, and all 1994 cars came with the upgraded 320 mm set taken from the 600 SL. Rear brakes on all years were 277 mm brakes from the 500 SL. In the USA, the 500 E came fully-loaded, with the only options available to the buyer being a dealer-installed CD changer and an integrated telephone. The 500 E was only available as a four-seater, with the four leather seats supplied by Recaro (the fronts heated).
Called the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" by the press[2][3], performance tests of the day yielded impressive results: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) times of 5.5 to 6.0 seconds and acceleration through the quarter-mile (0.4 km) in 14.1 seconds at 163 km/h (101 mph). The top speed was redline limited at 6,000 rpm to 250 km/h (~155 mph). It was rated at 16.8 L/100 km (14 mpg) in the city and 13.8 L/100 km (17 mpg) on the highway.
With its aggressive stance: 1.5 inches wider track, 0.9 inch lower profile, flared fenders, side skirts, front air-dam and wide tires, the 500 E is easily distinguished from its lesser brethren. Because of its look, limited numbers, hand-built construction, and unique pedigree, the 500 E is already considered a "classic", even within Mercedes-Benz

Tim.. your last 2 photos show a hotlinked image, asking you to use an embed code.
If you do a ctrl-refresh of the page, the corvette images will show up.

Yeah, I re-picked the Merc for the Bentley, I will go back and make sure all is well.

[GirlySports]

3 Justin 3. Ah. The re-pick is fine.

You have 5 picks. Rounds 13-17.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

What this draft needs is a wagon...so I'll take the Volvo 2007 V70R...a car I could see owning in the near future...

The ultra high performance all-wheel drive V70R, uses a 2.5 L engine in ultra high performance tune produces 300 bhp (224 kW; 304 PS) and 400 N·m (300 ft·lbf). The V70R is equipped with Volvo's 4C multi-mode suspension developed in conjunction with suspension experts Öhlins allowing the driver to vary the cars handling depending on driving style and conditions. The V70R AWD has also larger Brembo brakes to provide high performance braking capabilities in line with its high performance characteristics.

What category?

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Right...Its my Euro pick...

[arsenal]

So for my next pic, I am going to select the Fiat 500 in the 60's category.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_500

Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe. Besides the two-door coupé, it was also available as the "Giardiniera" station wagon; this variant featured the standard engine laid on its side, the wheelbase lengthened by 10 cm (4 in) which yielded a usable rear seat, a full-length sunroof, and larger brakes from the Fiat 600.
Sports models were produced by Abarth. An Austrian variant, produced by Steyr-Daimler-Puch, the 1956-1969 Steyr-Puch 500, had a motorcycle-derived Puch boxer twin motor, a sports model of which was the 1964-1968 Steyr-Puch 650 TR2.

It has recently made a resurgence in Europe, and it is immensely popular.
