http://www.supercars.net/lists/topsupercars.html

My favourite would surely be the Porsche 993 Turbo (4WD / 420hp's / all-weather sports car.....
But if i had the money, porsche 959 (the Big brother of the 993 Turbo......)

a car for a race track : awesome chassis and old BMW M5 V8 engine......the best of the two world..........http://www.supercars.de/singlecar/7/894.html

another link : you can compare Speed and acceleration (surprise, surprise.... )

[antipop]

Back on topic then

Nobody talked about this one :

The only ford worth to buy :p

Or this one :



I saw a review on top gear and it' just amazing, it goes from 0 to 190MPH without raising an eyebrow. The guy went from 0 to 80 in a few seconds and judging from his act and talk i thought he was driving at 40! It's speed with class, there is just one bad point : the dashboard is cluttered with buttons and it's way too much

[Master_G]

I mentioned the Ford GT on page 7, tis a shame though, the pics i linked to have gone. I love the styling. GT40 is 40 years old this year, rock on!!!

Sorry for the double. I forgot about p7 (that was a year ago, no?)
The restyling theyve done is also very nice, keep the spirit and make it up to date. Just what porsche has been doing for the 911 since it came out

[Master_G]

The difference i think is that the GT and GT40 are pretty rare cars, whereas the 911 is produced in large numbers, so i think the 911 design is very boring now and in dire need of a change. A classic design originally yes, but has just been used too much IMO.
Apparently the Ford GT sees an increase in horsepower after then engine has got some miles down on the clock which a Ford engineer said was not insignificant
On the subject of GT40s, i went to the Goodwood revival meet last weekend and saw some amazing cars.
One race had 7 GT40s in it, you can see 3 in this pic, there were some great ones in red with a white stripe, and yellow with a black stripe as well, but you cant beat the original Gulf colours:



Other highlights were the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato (centre car):



And the one thing that blew me away was the amount of Ferrari 250 GTOs! I knew this car was beautiful before i went, but it looks even better in the sunshine flying around a track. In the GT race there were 6 250 GTOs and a 330 LM Berlinetta. Bear in mind that a 250 GTO is worth in the region of £2-5million (about $3.5-9million) and a 330 LMB is about £1.3-2million ....
There were a fair few Cobras around as well.
Here is a pick of a 250 GTO closely followed by an Aston Martin DB4 GT:



Whole day was very really.

OMG, that must have been a really great experience to see those cars running. It's not everyday that you put a 5M€ car on a raceway . Judgind from the pics you were on the front row of the race, the sound must have astounding

[Master_G]

It was sooo awesome, the sound of those cars is great, the rumbles of the Cobras to the almost singing of some of the Ferraris, the incredible noise of the old F1 cars (-1938 onwards), and some great racing as well, so many great cars, all being pushed to the limit (and occaisionally beyond )
And you can go around parts of the paddock (or all of it if you have the right pass) and look at the machines either being polished, or tweaked and fixed.
Engine pr0n time, this is a V12 from a Ferrari 330, such an awesome piece of engineering:



Even saw a car with a 27 Litre engine!
I love going to Goodwood.

[Plague_oc]

holy crap that looks like its fun

[Spragoo]

My dreamcar is a '69 Corvette Stingray. I wish I had 5k because someone I know could hook me up well with one for that, but it would need a little work, and I don't have enough money for either the car itself or the work...

[Soulburner]

Just like mine, only mine's a bit more practical for daily driving

[Xyus89]

Hi,

not the most expensive,




accelerates faster than a ferrari 355 & porsche 911.
triple world champion car in rally

[Master_G]

[SustaiN]

My favourite is definitely Audi A3 sportback 3.2 V6 quattro. love that car. Otherwise I would choose a Audi A4 avant. Man

[jaguarking11]

ill have a new c6 z06 pls. And a nice phone call to lingenfelter for some turbo loving and possibly some more performance upgrades as far as handling go. Should put everything else to shame, then again that would make it a c6r or better now wouldnt it?

If it was that easy to make a C6R or better, they would be already using your setup...there is a lot more that goes into it, and its hardly daily driver friendly like a normal vette with a few upgrades would be.

[antipop]

They showed the Buggati veyron on TV yesterday and i must say that i'm in love. This car is a monster, the sound of the engine is amazing. This is not your "regular" ferrari
The car uses a 100L in 15min @ 400kph !!! That is is sick. And it uses 5L with just the engine on and without touching the gas pedal. Imagine how much you must spend on gas everytime you take it for a run.
The first car is planned for shipping next week.
For the story, an american bought one and he wasn't sure about the interior color so he bought a second one! Lucky bastard!

[Newbie_User]

Hey antipop

Watched the Channel too.....

have been searching for a car offering almost the same specs.

have found one :

Tommy Kaïra ZZ-II.....tuned @ 950 Hp's

4WD
less than 1600 Kgs....

I'm sure she should beat the Veyron on a highway.

She's expected to reach 300 Kph in 2 sec. less than the Veyron....

Will find the link......

i'm not sure but you could fond it in the PS2 game GT4....

[NoNickToPick]

McLaren baby!

[ToxicBug]

I think its pretty hard to chose a dream car without having driven some of the ones that interest me.

[jaguarking11]

Well I wouldent call a 850hp tt vette with upgraded suspension and internals a daily driver friendly car. But im shure if I owned one I would give it my best to drive it as mutch as possible.

As for it being comparable to a c6r your correct it could not be in every way but at least aceleration and power to weight ratio could be reached.

Shesh way to ruin my fun
