Anyone who can afford to buy a high performance or otherwise petrol guzzler should have no fear of the fuel costs.

It all depends on what quality of gas you want to run through it too. Higher octane gas will probably run better but it'll be more expensive. Especially for you Euro guys who pay by the liter.

Too many cars ..
I'm a Mopar guy , and the 1962 Dodge Dart with a 413 makes me smile .
I've owned several Mopars , a 67 Coronet / 318 , a 72 Dart / 225 (can't kill that engine) , a 68 Dart GTS 340 (wish I still owned that car) , and a 64 Chrysler New Yorker / 413 that I made into a sleeper and would surprise people with it .

My dream car haven't been built yet.

It can drive on any thing and if i should use gasoline it would drive about 300 miles on a liter.

it can fly about 100-150 meters above ground.

It has a cloaking device

You can't hear the car even if I have the pedal to the metal

As I said the car isn't built yet.

1921 Ford Model T going off a cliff?

Oh, no cloaking device...

I had a 1969 Hurst / Olds 442 ....got it when I was 17, had it for a few. I loved that car in every way and would like to get another one day.

My father once owned Jaguar 4.2 litre XJ6 when I was a young teen and at 14 or so miles to the gallon (a lot of fuel usage in those days) it was well worth the driving experience when he was away on business.

I'm a tad surprised I never killed myself or anyone else for that matter.

I want to race around the "B" roads over in the UK with a Lea Francis like this one, and see if Jim Buna can catch me in his fancy police car!

But, if I could have a car from the past, I would want to go with the Baldwin Motion Chevelle with the 427 under the hood!

You are not the only one who dream of a Super car of your choice

When a friend of mine say something like

"WOW if I only could win the Lottery, then I will buy such a car"

"My reply:
Why? We are only allowed to go as fast as 130 km/h on some distances on our freeway and a car like that is made for high speed higher than these 130 km/h or do you consider these traffic law not for you

Therefor there are only two places where you can drive faster, in Germany on their freeway or at a special area for Formula racing.

OH it for all the Girl in the town you want to impress aha"

Markus, I was only 20 years old when that Chevelle was made,lol Now, at 64 it is only a dream, a car with that much power now would get me into an accident faster then anything else!

Most of us here, have been a young lad with big car dreams

Even I had a dream of getting a fancy car

Here was my excuse

Impress the girls
Speeding on the freeway especially on German freeway

and as you I got older and wiser

eddie · 07-07-14, 08:44 PM

Maybe we could drive a car like that on a race track like LeMans!!

Armistead · 07-07-14, 09:27 PM

Had a 72 Charger looked exactly like this, paid $1500...Being big, wasn't great as muscle cars go on the bottom end....but after a 100mph that sucker flew and smooth as a big caddie. I know I pegged the 180mph speedometer several times and then some..

I finally wrecked it, flipping it numerous time....total loss of course,
