Car Spotting Scavenger Hunt Redux. Round Nine on now!!!!!!

[JMoney]

I think it's more fair to count the today's used car market price if the car is out of production, and count the price of the new one if it's still produced.
The $50k extra point was added to make people avoid MR-2's and old Boxsters if possible.

So, Kelley Blue Book?

 

[Rage Racer]

I guess so.

 

[Xilor]

#3 will be a challenge, the only place where I can spot military cars around here is at the local military base. I'll take a spin around it if I get the time, at least I don't have to worry about getting shot since i'm not in the US.

The rest should be easy, there's a guy who owns a Panamera and another one who's got a C63 AMG just a few streets from me.

 

[Doog]

I'm currently winning #5 though, unless @Doog finds another SLS.

Or this.

 

[ildd]

Or this.

wait, wait wait hold up.
Is that a Scion xB with chrome old school rims?

btw I think we have a tie... SL65 and S65 both use same engine.

That car's not eligible anyways; just dug it up to one-up the SLS comment.

And yes:

I got this on my way home from school. It's been sitting there for the last few days but I don't know if it will be there for much longer. If it sits there for a while longer I can probably get a better pic.

So this Abarth wouldn't count for the turboed car?

 

[Xilor]

The Abarth has a single Turbo so I'm guessing that it won't count.

Twin-turbocharged cars are basically stuff like the Toyota Supra Turbo, Nissan 300ZX and GT-R, certain BMWs and Fords, etc.

Here's the wiki page for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-turbo#Sequential_twin-turbo

And almost any 2008-present Mercedes AMG

I thought the biturbo V8 AMG Mercedes were more recent than that? The '09 E63 AMG I drove had the N/A 6.2L V8.

Actually, you're right. Almost any AMG since 2011, as that was when the M278 engines started being made(M278 is all of the DI twin turbo V8's. Same with the M279's, which is the twin turbo V12's)

 

[ildd]

So I have #1, and now I (unexpectedly) have #4. KBB had it at 29k.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm 99% sure that nsxs are NA they aren't twin turbocharged.

 

[ildd]

They're MR. The CL63 I posted yesterday is twin turbo.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ah didn't see the #4 after so I have #1.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm lucky, saw this right as I left my house to go to class.

Twin turbo v6 right?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Twin turbo v6 right?

Yes.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Regular black edition or a egoista or whatever that one is?

Right. 👍

So, what I have for now:
#1. I'd hate to abuse this car again, but...
BMW Alpina B7 E38 Biturbo

#2 - still waiting for an Audi RSx to show up...
#3 - no luck here yet, not even a silly UAZ. Just a couple of PAZ buses with army plates carrying soldiers inside, but I wouldn't count them as military vehicles. Waiting for something better. A 6x6 Kamaz, at least.
#4 - a silly MR-2 I tried to avoid, lol.

#5 and bonus - nothing yet.

Regular black edition or a egoista or whatever that one is?

The wheels look like Spec-V.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Right now I have #3 and #4, #2 should be easy and possibly #1.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Tank for #3 is ok?

 

[ildd]

I have #1, 2, and 4. Almost zero chance for 3 and 5. Bonus is unlikely but possible.

 

[Rage Racer]

Tank for #3 is ok?
View attachment 139102

Doesn't look like a tank, more like a GMC (gun motor carriage), probably M40 or M43.
Sure OK for #3. 👍

Tried to chase an S65 AMG but lost him in Dallas traffic. So this is a good one to keep an eye out for?

Definitely, its twin-turbocharged and at 604hp the 3rd most powerful Mercedes behind the McLaren SLR and SLS AMG i think.

So far I've only got the twin-turbo car, a BMW X5M. There was a guy a few streets from me who had a Panamera but apparently he decided to trade it in for a Cayenne just as the scavenger hunt was starting.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Any AMGs are good.

 

[ildd]

[Gotbeefboy564]

Was replying to the person who tried to chase down the SL 65 AMG and he asked if it was a good one to look out for.

 

[disinfected]

Not a good picture but maybe this will count for something.
