#450 looks like a Buick GSX with a f*cked up nose.

ding ding ding you're right! you get a cookie! Although I'm not sure Wankel had anything to do with the C111.

Yep, it was a Wankel engine:
I should know this stuff -- I work for Mercedes Benz, US home office!

Mongo

wow thats interesting! a 3-rotor wankel! That thing woulda made great power and extremely high revs had they produced it! go Mercedes!

Alex Cook - 2 Points! #490 - Lamborghini Islero 400 GT

Z-Man: You got the point for #430 (and good job too, that was a toughy) when someone else tried to guess it again I got confused and thought it had not already been named.

Z-Man - 2 Cookies! Great job on the Mercedes C111

Anything else interesting about Mercedes you can tell us, working for their home office in US and all?

Hacker-Pschorr - 11 Cookies! You get both points
#470 is an 1967 Iso Griffo A3-L
and the Mercedes C-111 because the time was so close to Z-Man
You now tie Red 944 for 11 Points! Watch out!

Here is car #500!

RacingPorsche

Hey guys, great job so far.

Here's a short list of cars that you still have a chance to rack up on points by naming: #390 on page 42

#450 on page 43

#480 & 490 on page 44 and the car with the 951 bumper (I would really like to know what car someone stuck a 944 Turbo grill on!)

and #500 on page 45

Here is #510

Red 944

The second generation C111 had a four rotor with 350ish horsepower. That is just DEAD sexy

Red 944

510 is a Hispano-Suiza(sp?) Dubonnet Xenia

RacingPorsche

I Agree!

But what about all those pesky vacuum (yes, it has one "c" and two "u's") hoses that the RX-7 guys call the dreaded "RATS NEST!"

Here's a picture of my friend working on a 1993 Twin Turbo. He had a vacuum leak and removed the belt-driven air pump that the factory installed to pass emissions testing. The red tubing is literally HALF the stock vacuum lines that it originally had a day before this "mod"
The RX-7 guys have to pay off the inspection stations anyway.

(I never had to though, my 944 is a clean burning 28 MPG fully legal car!)

Red 944

I guess it's a H6C Saoutchik Xenia though .. since it was bodied by Saoutchik

Red 944

I've never worked on a turbo rx7 .. that must be even more of a rats nest .. but I put a motor in non-turbo second generation last year in a friend's garage .. and it was the easiest motor to physically put in .. the worst to connect. Oh man, that whole thing just sucked

RacingPorsche

Red 944 You have 12 Points!

You just broke the tie with Hacker-Pschorr for 11 Points

Wow you are good.

I never heard of a 1938 Hispano-Suiza H6C Saoutchik Xenia Coupe before finding the picture on Supercars.net

Just a reminder, #450 on page 43, #480 & 490 on page 44 and the car with the 951 bumper and #500 on page 45 have yet to be named

#520

Red 944

Oh, the one no one can get is a Mercury Cyclone

RacingPorsche

In reference to car #510
Red 944...I'm speechless...you will never fail to amaze me with your car knowledge...

In reference to non-turbo 2nd Gen RX-7
You crack me up too!

#530

Red 944

.. with a KC nose .. making it a Mercury Cyclone Spolier II
