The front looks like an owl face.

WHOOO?

Had a good ride today. First went down south to the same road where I took pictures of the Miata. Last week I noted it was covered in gravel and wanted to ride it on the DR, but really I was too chicken to do anything awesome with the loose surface. Oh well. Did some of my favorites roads and then did some errands in The City (TM). I <3 the DR.

I went on an hour and a half ride with a buddy of mine tonight. It was great, until we spotted a pack of deer on the edge of the road. It's a good thing I have practiced quick stops before! They scare the hell out of me. That was a good stopping point.

Infinity Performance Line G convertible.

Following closely on the heels of the 2011 Infiniti Performance Line G Coupe, Nissan’t luxury division has taken the wraps off its new Infiniti Performance Line (IPL) G Convertible Concept.

The IPL G Convertible Concept features unique aerodynamic styling, an IPL-tuned V6 engine, a sports exhaust system, a revised suspension and 19-inch IPL wheels. Although no performance figures were give, the IPL G Coupe boasts 348 horsepower, indicating a similar rating for the convertible.

“The Infiniti Performance Line is designed to push the premium performance envelope for buyers seeking a higher level of exclusivity and driving exhilaration,” said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore. “IPL
promises unique driving attributes from other Infiniti models, without adding stratospheric prices."

Don’t be fooled by the car’s concept tag as there is no doubt the IPL G Convertible will eventually arrive at Infiniti dealerships. The IPL G Convertible Concept will make its world debut at next week’s Paris Motor Show.

...because nothing screams "premium performance" like a poorly done vert with compromised structural rigidity.

[Tones]

And less powerful than a Mustang GT lol.

[StriderKyo]

HOT.

I want one.

[MarkRyan]

Is it different than last year's model? I know Kawi's Z-nakeds didn't get great reviews until the new Z1000 came out for 2010. I guess it'd be nice if the 750 got a similar update, but I still don't like the look of their nakeds.

I prefer Triumphs. And this new Suzuki naked looks interesting.

[StriderKyo]

Yeah, Triumphs are still the slickest, but that z750r still looks really nice (I like it better than the z1000) - who says you can only want one? The Suzuki is cool looking but generally speaking Kawi makes better bikes.

Not that it matters, North Americans don't like street fighters for some reason so they'll stay in Europe forever.

I been doing some work on my car. I put lowering springs on two weeks ago, got engine management with new tune, have almost 100% of my led light conversion done (only missing center brake light), and today I put on my resonated mid-pipe with high flow cat. It is awesome, sounds mean as hell. Since it's resonated it's not obnoxious, so no rice. I been trying to find some nice rims to put on that don't break the bank too.
