For the Audi? Really? I thought they were the opposite!! Huh, learn something new everyday.

The S2000 is cool, but dream car? It just doesnt inspire much to make me consider it dreamy. Its cool, but imagine an S2000 alongside a lamborghini? I dont mean which has the bigger manhood, one just looks to be from another planet, and the other looks a bit like a hairdresser's midrange car IMO.

Second time the Maybach has come up. Would you drive it or just be a passenger?

Thread caught my eye, lol.

I've been wrenching in garages up until recently for years.

Worked mostly in the import scene specializing in EJ25 and 4g63.

1. Luxury Car - BMW M5, balance of luxury and performance. Been tuning in the modification industry for years. Unless its a commuter, it needs to have brawn.

2. Supercar - Audi R8 I've had the pleasure of being acquainted with this beauty. AUDI innovation in the form of their first of what seems to be a thoroughbred.

3. Commuter - Toyota Prius. It's dirt cheap, gets great mileage, and Toyota dependability. 'Nuff said.

4. I will never drive a convertible. Years competing in track, touge and unfortunately illicit street races always reinforces the fact the loss of rigidity in a convertible top destroys a car's balance and center of gravity. If it can't perform to my specific standards, its not worth cruising in.

5. Track Car - Depends on my mood. Either a WRX or Evolution. I've had the pleasure of cruising an GT-R32 as well, but 4 bangers are just my cup of tea. I'll stick to a WRX or Evolution just due to my experience and absolute love of Rally, (and the fact that I've owned and worked on them for years) .

Track car means nothing really. It depends on the circumstance. We've built Civics that have tanked the upper echelon of the finest thoroughbreds, so.....

Performance Tuning FTW!

1. Luxury: Bentley Continental GT



2. Supercar: Lamborghini Murcielago - something about a lamborghini that is so monstrously elegant, I love them!




3. Commuter: BMW M5 Not much of a commuter, heh, but I love it. I could definitely drive this car every day.



4. Convertible: M6 Convertible - what can I say, I love Bimmers!



5. Track car: Porsche GT3. Just love it. Always have.



I love cars but there are too many to choose just one! I would love a ferrari too.

I both love and hate these threads. Love them cause i love to think about these cars. Hate them cause i know i'll never even drive one, let alone own one.

i) a luxury car
Bentley Continental GT


Powerful, decent looking and it's a Bentley so you know its got class out the arse. The other pick was the rolls royce, but those things are massive in real life - and the styling doesn't appeal to me. BMW M5 also an option, as is Merc SL65 - but both are more sporty than luxury so i didn't think they'd qualify.

ii) a supercar
Pagani Zonda R

This is a hard one, in the end i just picked this cause it is so freakin sexy - and that engine.... Other options are Enzo ferrari (not quite pretty enough), Mclaren F1 (too old) and Koeniggsegg (i just prefer the zonda).

iii) a run around everyday practical car
Mercedes AMG C63 Estate

Grunty yet with space enough for kids, dogs and anything else i have to haul. Other options Audi RS6 (prefer the merc) and M5 Estate (prefer the merc)

iv) a convertible for the cruising around in
Porsche Carrera GT

Almost the ultimate porsche. If you are going to have the wind in your hair, why not have it going FAST.

v) a track car
Ferrari F40 LM

I love F40's, and although there are many better track cars..... Just listen to this thing
YouTube - Ferrari F40 LM

Props to the Bentley Continental GT, that would be my luxury car for sure. You can't beat any Bentley, High horsepower and pimp look. I could work with this convertible too



I can't really break down the cars I would want that way so I could tell the one's that I favor

First of all, the car I have now. I bought my 2001 Camaro SS new and haven't modified it at all. It ran 13.44 at 104 mph in the quarter when the car had 10k on it. Not bad for a bone stock automatic. The previous cars that I had was a 1993 Camaro Z-28 that I dropped thousands into- AFR heads, LT4 hot cam, 2800 stall, 3.73 rear end and 150 horse shot of NOS.

So yea, Camaros every day, in convertible form and at the track. I wouldn't mind having one of the new ones when they come out either. Any 67-69 Camaro with the 302 Chevy is badass. It's a rare breed when an old small block revs a high as one of those did forty years ago.

I love this car too:



The fastest American built car from the '80s, 1987 Buick GNX would blow the doors off of a Corvette or any Japanese muscle car from that time period. It was nice that Buick built their muscle cars with turbocharged, air to air intercooled, 3.8 V6 instead of a gas guzzling V8. It was easy to modify too- simple PROM replacement, exhaust work, revised intake set up and stall converter would make this car run mid twelve easy.

And definitely this one:



Can't beat a pickup truck that runs mid 13 in the quarter from the factory. A turbocharged, liquid to air intercooler and vortech 4.3 V6. Easy to drive in the all weather with it's all wheel drive. I drove one of these when it was traded into a dealer that I was working at and did killer four wheel burnouts while the truck was pulling diagonally to the left.
