uh just one more year, imagine how much money I'd be saving . I'll have the power potentials to beat most Ferraris and Lambos from day 1, and have superior handling even that. No need to be filthy rich.

Not true at all a modded car is good but a purebred racing car is still beter but a modena ill vouch for that though modena is mostly looks and so r lambos.

so when you see a Ferrari pass by your Volvo, what do you sense first, the sound or far-gone into the wind, glistening mirage of its taillights?

I hang out in Miami Beach, and er, trust me, they're more than just beautiful redheads and blondes.

As for my modded car.... oh ooops, this is a car thread right? Don't mind me, I got carried away thinking about superior performance just under $4K. And the fun factor is simply undisputed.

[jcsaleen]

KEYWORDS pure - bred racing car!! An my volvo will woop there ass off road so I could give to shits less. Im happy with the car Im using what do u drive???

Also I never said they were bad but a pure bred racing car as in caterham or a noble ever hink of those. A lambo is more of a show car then track

[jcsaleen]

Btw what mods for 4k can u get that r better then a ferrari??

[Z_Fanatic]

so the fact that Ferrari is using GTC and Challenge Stradale for racing, has little value? A car doesn't need to be part of Lemans to be considered true-bred racing car. Btw, Lambos also make decent off-road vehicles. Just give credits where it's due.

Some of my dream cars, eh?

Well, for starters, one of the 3 original Ferrari 330 P4's (not the rebodied, re-engined P3's, the honest to god factory P4's). Let's face it, they beat Ford on Ford's home turf with a 1-2-3 at the 24 Hours of Daytona while Ford didn't win Ferrari's home turf race, the 1000km at Monza. On top of that, Ford lost the World Championship of Makes in 1967 to the 330P4. And honestly, the 330 P4 is possibly the single most sexiest sports racer ever.



I'd have to have at least ONE Figoni et Falaschi bodied "teardrop" car from the 30's. Dear god, these cars surpass "automobile" and go straight on to "sculpture".

Here's a 1939 Delahaye by Figoni et Falaschi, to demonstrate.


Naturally, my garage would require a 250GTO. Even with a P4, one cannot resist a front engine V12 berlinetta.



I'm certain, though, that other cars would quickly follow. There's Scarabs and Lancias and Bentleys and Talbots and Duesenbergs and Jaguars and TVR's and Marcoses and Hispano-Suizas and Auburns and Allards and Cunninghams and Cisitalias and COPO Chevelles and Yenko Stingers and McLarens (real racing McLarens built by Bruce McLaren, not that sily three seat wedge) and Lolas and Bizzarinis and Isos and Triumphs and......

Damn, if I can ever afford to own all the cars I want I'll be sure to open a free to the public museum with twice a month track and cruise days during the summer to show the cars in motion, as they should be.

the F1, though overrated, you call that a wedge?

gotta ask, what exactly do you do with your time? plug into the Matrix and download all the info to your 188 IQ brain of yours? and end of each session, declare, "whoa... I know Car-Fu?" lol.

[Layla's Keeper]

Actually, most of the time I'm awake during the day is spent working on other people's cars. lol

But, yes, I consider the McLaren F1 to be a homely uninspired wedge of a design, completely lacking in character, beauty, and artistic influence. I'm sorry, but discreet Teutonic restraint is not something I want in a supercar, nor should it come from a racing team whose emblem was a kiwi bird.

C'mon, is a little flamboyance too much to ask from a million dollar car?

[Jimster]

I'd take Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG and build my own manual transmission for it But that's something of a cruiser still.

For back to basics, I'd have me the new Lotus Exige- There's a car Chapman would be proud of.

Of course a McLaren F1 and original McLaren would have to take a place in my garage- due to sheer patriotism and I'll take the new Hulme F1 to line up beside it in my patriot garage(When they start production in a few years)

Though of course I can't go without my Ferrari's- a 250 LM (WAY sexier than the GTO IMHO), 333 SP, 246 GT, 512M, 250 GT SWB, 250 California, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 Daytona, 166M Barchetta, 288 GTO, 550 Barchetta, F40, F50, F355 Berlinetta manual and a 360 Challenge Stradale.

But that's not to say that Ferrari are the only people who create timelessly elegant motors. I'd love to have a Lamborghini Miura, BMW 507, Aston Martin Vanquish, Alfa Romeo SZ, ISO Grifo, Toyota 2000GT, a Honda S800 with the subtlest of mods, Aston Martin DB series (Every one of them being timeless), Lancia Hyena (Zagato), Bentley Arnage Red Label, TVR Tuscan 400R, Lamborghini Espada and Diablo GT 6.0 and throw in a Duesenberg SJ for good measure!

And of course RALLY CARS! I'd love a Stratos, O37, 131 Arbath, Delta Integrale Evo, Delta S4, RS200, 206 WRC 2002, Impreza 22B, Evolution III and Escort RS Cosworth to give me some thrills in the backyard

I think the only thing missing would be the collection of BMW M cars!


That is by no means the complete list- but I could never name one and (wet) dreams are free!

I am givin credit where its due yes the stradale is nice yes but as compared to a true bred track car soley for the track. And lambos make horrible offroad vehicle rwd lol @ that a focus is better suited for offroad lambos are to heavy and have to much power for off road. Take that thing on hill of the hungary and just watch. Yes the strdale is 1 of my fave cars I know the facts. The fact is it still has show in it did you read the comparison between the noble m12 gto and the stradale??

noble > http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1 its sole purpose is for the track!

I don't suppose you get to work on Ferrari 330 P4's everyday, do you? lol, or has internet been good to you, providing vast wealth of information?

Now is that Johnny Depp or Richard Simmons flamboyance you want in your car?

Nice car, but it still doesn't disprove all the flagships of Ferrari's true-bred racing cars. i.e. F40.

But that Noble M12 will still be obsolete to what I have in mind and plan to acquire.
