That Gullwing is mind blowing

You have impeccable taste!

[Pinnacle]

1954-1957 300SL Gullwing. This example is a 1955. Street value is more than a Bugatti Veyron.

High tech in every respect, 0-60 in 7 seconds, car was ahead of its time.

[Pedalmonkey]

Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Caparo T1, Ariel Atom, Pagani Zonda R, or a TVR Sagaris. all the best of the best. Caparo T1 is a production F1 car with over 1045 bhp per ton and does zero to 60 in around 2.5 seconds. just look at anyone of those cars. will try to post pics later.

You have impeccable taste!

The exterior of the Gullwing is truly Epic. Nicer lines does not exist.

My dream car would be a factory new C123 fully equipped with a modern Mercedes R6/V6 diesel.

By the way, you guys know they're remaking the Gullwing right?

OOooo nooo... frightening... It ruins the whole dream car fantasy. Basically, McLaren has bastardized (sorry Ops) the classic Mercedes character and absolutely ruined the looks. I shudder to think of some SLR-like Gullwing.

That will wreck the market value of the original Gullwing.

I'd probably tone it down just a bit (tires/wheels first)....and that's the exact color combo of my '85 325e...so I'd use a different one

Pictures and spec!

..........or do you mean a model as in dinky??

[Stewie007]

A small model... not the car itself. Its a little scale model about the size of a TI-84 Calculator (somewhat bigger) in foot print, made out of metal... With operating doors, etc etc. He also has a model jaguar, porsche, vette...

But they're just models.

Speaking of models, I have the lovely discontinued 1998 Panoz GTR-1 by AutoArt

I'm being redundant, but its official now; I had a dream about it the other night LOL.

[IanY]

Did someone say something about Gullwing models ?

[IanY]

These two silver babies are for sale out in California. Been eyeing them for three months now. Extremely tempting !!

Both cars are in Silver and are not in showroom condition. Make no mistake. These are fakes, albeit costing more like a SLR McLaren than some Chevy Lamborghini.

Both cars have been "Bastardized" (sorry moderators, but that's a term that is used in my circles) with W124 300E engines. 5 Speed gearboxes rofl.

I am partial to the red interior, although the black interior would be unique on a silver car.

They are drivable models and meant for enjoyment. They won't be able to compete in any concours. One look under the hood and the judges will laugh their asses off.

But it's all for fun. A model with the original 300SL engine would cost over $800K and a mint one would cost $2 million.


1957 model with red interior for $225K

1956 model with black interior also for $225K

The Ascari A10. Amazing car.

[Chipmonk]

VW Tuareg with TDI V10. Or the range Rover V8 turbo D.

Pontiac G8 on Display in Times Square

At first I thought, good... GM is getting some marketing out. But then I saw that it was the 50 Cent whatever Tuners version with that stupid black stripe and rims that are way too big.

First major exposure to the public outside of car shows and as usual it looks like its going to end up drawing the hip hop crowd.... So much for a classy display, now its gonna be a pimp mobile.

1996 Impala SS


Or.
Infinity G35.


Or.
1969 Camaro.


And, the top of the list:

1992 GMC Typhoon ...
AWD, 0-60 mph at 5s and 1/4 @ 14.1 @ stock. Beast.

[Supertim0r]

I like the impala...but on air suspension

[Decami]

lol, decami, the new z06 would beat that right now haha. but you also gotta remember, that was a concept from like 2000 haha, it was in a friggan NFS game when i was in middle school. so with todays tech. it would probably be up there with the s7

?? what? Z06? That car was quicker than the Mclaren F1. Which was the fastest street legal car. I don't see where you get that, compared specs and the Z06 is way off...Now Z06 aftermarket I understand. But you can pretty much add to alot of cars that improve them even over stock super cars, my car is an example.

Oh and did anyone go to my second post. OMG. Just to let you know. Some of the guys who designed the Mclaren F1 left and decided to design they're own super car. Their idea was to make a street legal Formula 1 car. behold the Capparo T1 http://www.caparo-t1.com/ oh and read what the going price is gonna be, will freaking blow your mind.





Oh and its a 2 seeter. Lot of people think its not. In an odd way though.

[Jokester_wild]

I wouldn't want that car, from the sounds of it they cant even build a proper working unit. So far they have had the accelerator stick more then twice, a wheel fall off and the floor fell off during the topgear review.
