Dream Car Thread

[Red October1984]

Everybody's got one... (Or two, or three...or like me, more)

Post 'em here. I'm interested in seeing what everybody likes.

Just a couple of mine:

Saleen S302 Yellow Label - It's a Mustang...and it puts out 625 horses....and it's Saleen. I'm a big fan of Saleen's stuff.



Saleen S7 - While we're on the topic, I figure I'd include one of the best supercars ever (IMHO)



Ford GT - The other Great American Supercar



Ford Escort Mk. 1 - Ford Europe gets the cool compact cars. It's apparent that i'm a Ford guy I guess.



1965 Shelby GT350 - C'mon. It's a Shelby Mustang.



1973 Ford XB Falcon GT - Mad Max and the guys down under got another really cool car that we didn't get up here. I'd totally get a Mad Max replica.



1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo - This thing is a beast with the twin turbos



Audi S1 Quattro - You can't like cars and NOT like the Audi Quattros



2005 Saleen N2O Focus - Back to Saleen....taking my favorite (only) car i've ever owned (and fell in love with even though mine was a sedan) and making it awesome. Way better than the SVT Hatchback




This is just a few. Some realistic...most not.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Toyota Hilux, 4th generation (I don't like the new ones)


And then a simple low maintenance convertable, like a Saab


Or this little BMW Z3

You can get those in the St. Louis area...little turbo cars...for very little.

You can get one easy for under $2k Nice little cars. I don't see very many out my way but I like them. Not so much the convertible models but still.

I considered going to look at some of the coupe models for sale.

@BossMark....I didn't like any of the Corvettes until I saw that new Stingray model. That thing is freakin' sweet.

Hmmm, you know they're GM/Vauxhall, and that means they're not the robust inventions they once were, and virtually no modern car is 'simple low maintenance'. (smaller cars may be the exception here)

For me, ever since I saw one in Germany in 2000/01 I've wanted a Mitsubishi Legnum VR4.

Pic to follow.

I got one of those in the early 80s. It burned more oil than fuel after a while but what a lot of fun in the backseat. We were young and had no money...

Dreamcars?

This: Mercedes SLS

and that: Mercedes SLR

and still ( I had three of them ):




BMW 2002 the Double - i (ii)

[Betonov]

That's why I'm not buying a new Saab.
A friend bought a 1998 Saab for €1200, like new.

Mercedes G36

it's the size that matters, but what can you know about it?

[Wolferz]

Hands down!
Catch me if you can.

[Jimbuna]

Jaguar XJ220

[u crank]

1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Beep beep.

MPG: 7 city / 15 highway

Engine size: 8.0L

0-60 in: 2.46 seconds

You'll probably get pretty far...but you'll run out of gas before a Jetta TDI I'll chase you in.

EDIT: Top Speed Fuel Economy is worse... 3 miles per U.S. gallon or 1.4 U.S. gallons per minute

If I had the kind of money it would take to buy one, I'd have a fuel truck standing by along the route.

You'd need that...maybe two if you plan on taking a trip somewhere.
