The car to get with 1 million dollars

how bout a boss 429 motor... which wooped ass on the nascar circuit against the 426 hemi...

[Chris]

Boss 429's are rare. And in the firstyear the 426 was in NASCAR, it wupped everyones ass. THey were 10mph quicker at Daytona. The next year they were some-what neutered, to make things more equal.

I actually have a magazine from the 60's which has an article on Ford's new engine, a 429 cubic incher that is supposed to be good. If only they knew...

[flylwsi]

the rarity is what i was goin for... that or a 427 sideoiler...
simply for rarities sake...
they are just hella cool if you are gonna do a mustang
thats me though...

Uh, all 351's arent very good. A 350 chevy is better, or a ford or chevy 427. Or a mopar 383, but the 426 hemi is king. How about the 427 ZL-1, with 585 hp???

wow, other people have heard of the ZL-1 too? If you're going for rarity, this is it....there were something like 20 produced in the late 60's. That is one badass engine....

[flylwsi]

isnt that the motor that was in the camaros? the factory drag pak? or was it a vette motor...

[hakka]

too my knowledge, the ZL-1 was only put in two production cars, two '69 Corvettes. The rest of them were sold to private teams, so I guess it probably was sold to some trans-am teams with Camaros.

[flylwsi]

i know that there was an insane motor like that that went into a nondescript camaro, i cant think of what it was... insane though...

[hakka]

oh..you're thinking of the ZL1 Camaro Concept. That is a knew design, from '96 or '97 I think. That was awesome too. I can't recall the stats off of the top of my head though...

[Chris]

Teh ZL-1 was puyt into two 1969 corvettes. One is still owned by the factory, and is in a museum. The other one is loose on public roads... Top speed(witht eh gearing) is 190mph, but a new rearend and 200 is very much a reality.

I have heard of Camaro's with ZL-1's in them. i believe they were added by people like Yenko, or GM's CONSO department (usually for armoured cars, or stuff like that, but they were able to make some serious performance machines too)

Hehe, a lot of the cars you guys picked are gonna be fun going to the store and picking up groceries in . You said you only get one car! Although I guess if you can afford that car you don't need to go to the store... If I were to get 1 "practical" stock car, it would be a BMW M5. With mods I would build myself a ~600HP Skyline GT-R.

For an unpractical car, the TommyKaira ZZ-II would be my first choice hands down (if that thing is ever released). For cars that are available now, I'd get an Ultima GTR, drop a 600HP engine in it and save the rest of my cash. I'm too frugal to want to spend $1M on a car, even if I won the lottery. But if someone really forced me, I'd get the new Lamborghini Mueslix (or whatever that thing is called, Muicelago?).

Welcome to AF, Jason! Hope you like it here.

Nice choices, but my jaw dropped when I saw the ZZII. I'll let you in on a joke... If you see someone in the Skyline forum talk about "Tommy" (a.k.a. Tommykaira ZZII), they probably don't mean the car, they mean some dumb jerk that used to post here with that name. If you want a good laugh, look up his posts. :hehe:

Otherwise, happy posting.

[Chris]

The Ultima already has 531hp. So maybe you should aim higher, like 900hp.

Where can you see pics of the ZZII??
