I actually do like Lotus Elise over most other cars here :P
More of driver here than dragger... :) Cornering ability and good feel on handle with decent power is all I care. Gotta be a little bit older to be able to afford insurance on it :P (Incredibly high on insurance while price of car isn't too much)
Favourite three cars going from affordable to expensive:
FPV(Ford performance Vehicles) - Typhoon (i6 turbo tweaked by FPV)
Audi - RS6 (V8 bi-turbo goodness)
Mercedes SLR - (speaks for itself)

And the Porsche 944 :)
These are all models from 90-99 exept the Porsche that is a -85 i think.
They are actually not so expensive to buy but there is a catch :). Insurance and if something gets broken it´s going to cost... alot. Imagine a BMW V12 or a Audi V8 need some repairs. It´s going to cost more than you gave for the car.
I don't have my drivers licence yet :) (i take it easy :) ) but when i do get it i will probably go down to Germany and get me a mid-80´s Porsche 944. You can get one cheap and they are probably old enough so i can do small repairs :) (old= no advanced stuff)
Ive been a Ferrari fan since the early 60s .....That said ;
The 97 Lambo Diablo is THE Most Beautiful car EVER built. (sorry Enzo :( )
It's also VERY,VERY,VERY Fast
I heard Interior engine noise is kinda loud.
:banana: :banana: :banana: Then I liked it even more :banana: :banana: :banana:
My dream car is a Mercedes SLR Mclaren

Cheers to that!! :D :toast:
check out this baby, Ariel Atom, supercharged honda VTEC producing nearly 300bhp, but it weighs less than 500kg and does 0 - 60 in 2.8 seconds, not very practical but its totally street legal and out accelerates a maclaren F1 and only costs £35,000
Someone watched 5th gear last night ;)
I dont see that sort of car as a dream car personally, it looks great for a blast round a track, but i would personally never run one on the road, too open to the elements for UK driving lol.

well yeah, its not my dream car at all, but it looked dam good, if somewhat of a glorified go kart! i was impressed when he went thru the car wash on it tho, i'd just want one for the speed of the thing and the fact its faster than most superbikes, as for dream car, well my dad is a car mechanic and brings home some amazing machines, but the one that stands out is '67 corvette stingray, however this is more than your standard 'vette it has an 11 litre V10 in it, the rear tyres are absolutely huge and you can hear it coming a mile off, the guy that has it takes it to santa pod regularly and it runs mid 9's, i've been down the road in it and even doing 60mph it feels like its gonna disintegrate, that car has some real power
I got the chance to drive a V-10 Stag years ago and it was an amazing car. I believe they were British...weren't they?
yep, good old triumph, never liked the stags myself, i prefered the TR6, dont have the raw power of the stags but i like the look of them, the british spec of course with the fuel injection, not the half assed 100bhp carb versions they sent to america
I think I liked the style more than anything else. I felt like I was driving a Jag. :D

Not with all that stupid crap all over it, but I always thought the late 90's RX-7's were absolutely class :thumbsup:
And considering that's just a scale model, it's likely the only one my wife'll let me have :rolleyes:

Funny you should say that, but my mate bought a mint 92 REX last week and I had my first go in a rotary. I only had 3/4 mile of road and perished tyres, but boy was that car quick, I licked up to just under 120mph and then had to brake for my house. It was a great car to sit in and drive, positive gearbox, great steering, nice brakes. Once he has some good tyres we are going to try some filming from the car with me on my ZX7R to see what the performance is like between the two. The REX looks the tits though.
:up: Nice choice!Quote:

(i think its ulgly, the green one looked nicer ;) and the only way it could have won from the red rx7 was by attacking a huge rocket to its roof :p: )
Hitting later this year, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was mentioned once before (was it mogg?). Anyhow this thing has a quad-turbo w 16. Darn near 1000 Hp.
This ain't your mammas Volkswagen rabbit!
Expected performance (mph):
AWD (70-30)
0-60 under 3
0-186 in 6 sec!
Top Speed - 252 MPH
Rear foil "Snaps" 70 degrees when braking above 124 Mph...this car borrows from aviation and uses "Air Braking" like a plane does with wingflaps when it lands. Outrageous!
They look cool too, all this for a "Cool" $1.3 Mil (US)! I think I'll get one Monday. :p:
Borrows from mercedes more like lol.Quote:

To my mind it just doesnt seem that special, just has a massive engine with huge turbos to get power, nothing interesting like gold foil under the bonnet for best thermal transfer like in the F1.
Cant wait to actually see it come out, it is an awesome car, but fails to create a spark for me.

ok, here's my redneck/northwoods/american opinion on cars:
i was brought up with muscle cars, so i am bias. anyone can go ahead and throw a damn supercharger or turbo on an engine and brag how awesome it is. what happened to old-fashioned raw torque and horsepower?
in 1969, a rare package for the corvette was offered. code named ZL-1, this package included an L88 block 427 that, off the assembly line, produced around 500 hp and well over 500fp/torque (in 1969) with one holly 850cfm carb. now let me see some rice grinder touch that kind of muscle off the assembly line!
http://www.autofacts.ca/classics/FAPC/ZL1Corvette.htm
also should be recognized is the original Z/28 package for camaros, introduced in 1968. it included a 4 spd and a 302, which was conservatively rated at 290hp for insurance purposes im sure. without that car, you dont have the z/28 camaro.
and of course, the car that is known to start all muscle cars, the 1964 GTO, which was a brainstorm of John DeLorean over at Pontiac when he took his 63 tempest and threw a 389 in it. :toast:
I would love to drive a audi A8 tuned by ABT
i think my dream car would be a safari window ragtop vw bus. on bags and porche 15s. power would be from a 300hp 944 turbo engine and a triptronic autotranny.... how fun would that be to ride arround smoking ricers in a vw bus :)
Bugatti Veyron!
