Dream car?

[der_wille_zur_macht]

Oh, if we are going to include motorcycles and silly concept unicycle-thingies, then I'll expand my dream garage to include. . .

1) Cervelo P3 carbon, Zipp wheels, DA kit. For time trials and multisport. Please NOT the new B&W paint job, but the old one with red accents:



2) Cervelo Soloist SLC, again Zipp wheels and DA kit. For all-around riding. In the SR71 Stealth paint job from the bike's debut at the 2005 Giro D'Italia:



3) Cervelo R3 Carbon, Lightweight wheels, Mixed Campy Record & misc. kit, or perhaps SRAM Red. For climbing. Don't care about the paint job, since climbing is hard enough, let alone trying to look good when you're doing it:



Hmmmm, I see a brand-favoritism theme developing here. . .

For only 60 K I can build my own and still out run everything you guys have listed. As tested by Car and Driver Magazine, it will out run AND out handel a 650K Enzo Ferrari and a 600K Saleen S7 Twin Turbo.

Sorry but I can't get the pics to post.

They are indeed a great blend of personality and practicality, and a decent performer too, especially if you're in to tinkering. I've owned three of them, but none recently. It's getting hard to find them in decent shape with no rust.

IMHO they look best with the Super Aero wheels from the later 9000 Aeros. Same thing as the SPG wheels, but 16" and deeeep dish instead of perfectly flat:

dad had his chipped and it was great lots o turbo lag and turbo steer but really fun to drive.

the nissan skyline GTR34:


the Range Rover Sport HSE:


the Audi RS8:


the Toyota Supra:


and last but not least, a car which needs no introduction

Supercharged f430

Twin turbo f430

Though that black 430 is nice, if it's Ferrari I want, I'm going straight to the top of the family:

blown63, WOW, that is a cool company and a nice looking car. I didn't read through all the FAQs on the website; is every sale a kit sale that requires assembly by the owner? are there stages of dis-assembly that the car can be bought in? I'd always been curious about kit cars. they usually looked half-baked to me, but this one has got some good lines in the body work. I'm guessing it's sourced from the new 'vette?

Aussie Muscle! 1970 LC torana, low,fat,loud and fast.











. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

[der_wille_zur_macht]

This is a thread about dream cars! Do not trouble me with earthly limitations.

Seriously. Twelve Ferraris I would own to meet that requirement:

1) Early 50's 250GT:



2) Late 50's 410 SuperAmerica:



3) 365 GT:



4, 5, and 6) One each of the 3x8 series:

[der_wille_zur_macht]

7 and 8) An F40 and an F50:





9) A Testarossa, because everyone needs a flat-12 in their garage:



10, 11, and 12) One each of the current lineup of standard models, more or less:

A 575M instead of the ugly new 599:



A 430:



A 612 Scaglietti:



Yeah, that'll do it. Then I can get my FFX, right?

While I appreciate the fact that Porsche can build an "SUV" that can wail on the track, I'd still own a Rover instead because I'd want something that could actually work well offroad, and had lots of aftermarket support for that purpose.

glad to see someone else with the same fine taste in cars. I had a chance to get a hard top 66 a few years ago, been kicking myself ever since for not getting it.
