What is the best car to drive at Gumball 3000?

[Hamann]

Hi guys, this is my first thread in here and I'm interested in seeing what cars you people would chose to drive at the Gumball 3000, provided you had the means ($$$) necessary to race it.

Chose whatever car you want to, but don't forget that it's race and you'll be trying to win, not only to show off.

Thanks in advance.

I'll start.

My first option would be a Porsche 911 turbo, fast, reliable, and good enough for me to show off. Another excellent option would be a Ferrari 360 Modena (although it is very common in the Gumball = no showing off).

What do you have in mind guys?

No doubt if i ran the gumball 3000 I would drive an R34 v spec 2 skyline Fast and comfortable and fo sho no cops could catch it casue its just to fast

[S Brake]

yeah man, fo sho
I would actaully chose something like the M5 or the RS6, These cars wouldn't be stock though. and a cop wouldn't suspect a sedan at all.

Yeah, when it was stopped. But as soon as it started moving, you wouldn't be able to see it well enough for it to draw attention.

Yeah can u say 186MPH in less than 14sec and a top speed more than 250mph with 7 sequential gears and 16 cylinders quad turbo's behind you pushing 1000HP through all wheel drive. Mclearn F1 bye bye. Police cars Bye bye. Police Helicopters bye bye too.

Too bad when they block off the ROAD and lay down spike strips or even electroically imobilze your car w/an EMP (if they get that close)...all that 1000HP dont mean absolutely anything...you cant fly over cars nor can you run over them in a Bugatti.

BUSTED!

You can never outrun a radio...the cop doesnt even need to get a good look at you..just says....some fast car coming your way...block of the road...

Well if you were James Bond, you could take the underwater route in an Espirit. But do they really use EMPs?

Actually, it will work. If you hit some spike strips at 250 MPH, your f*cked, end of story.

Give you a Bugatti? What makes you think I have one...lol...much less give you one? Besides I think you give cops alot less credit than you should...most cops are dumb but not all of them...if you were at point A w/me...I just have to radio ahead to like 2 miles ahead to some cops and then can block of the whole road...w/their cars and what they cannot w/spike strips.

YellowMaranello...the EMPs are shot under the cars and the disable the ignition...not positive if they actually use it...I think not...but it exists...might just be too expensive for most police forces

No doubt its too expensive to use that often. So does that mean that the ultimate getaway vehicle would be a diesel, as they don't need sparkplugs?
