your dream car and why


  

HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007 -> your dream car and why (3/23/2008 11:36:29 AM)

if a random guy with a multi billion corporation came knocking on your door and stated that his father who recently died pasted away once owned your vehicle and the VIN numbers matched with the one he was looking for and he even could identify the mark which he remembered his father caused on the car and showed you where the scratch was located. Now since you both have come to the agreement that it must've belonged to his father he makes you an offer, saying that he wants to take the car off your hands for some sort of token for the memory of his father because thats the only possesion they could find of him so he tells you instead of buying the car off your hands,he'd rather just buy you ANY CAR OFF ANY LOT he'll also place any mod's which you placed on the car now(for example:if you have rims he'd place rims.)...so now if this scenario happened to you...which car would you get you and why?
(My answer:2008 honda S2000,CR version)

my reason:Intention The S2000 CR was designed to drive to the track, and around it. The CR is a competitor, and its driver should possess the desire to maximize its potential for improved track times at club racing events.

Quicker The factory-tuned CR is an extreme performer. Its aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings provide increased rigidity and increased downforce. It’s a purist’s sports machine that builds on the race-inspired attributes of the original S2000—then cranks out even more of everything sports car drivers crave.

Lighter The CR takes “track-inspired” to an entirely new level. With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, its cornering, braking and acceleration make it one of the best rides around. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are now offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful.

EXCLUSIVE STANDARD FEATURES:
  • Firmer springs, dampers and suspension bushings
  • Stiffer front and rear stabilization bars
  • Quicker steering ratio
  • Larger rear P255/40 R17 tires
  • Bridgestone® Potenza RE070 tires
  • All-new 17" dark gray 5-spoke alloy wheels
  • Fully functional aerodynamic front and rear spoilers
  • Yellow and black fabric
  • Yellow-stitched seats, shift boot and steering wheel
  • Spherical aluminum shift knob
  • Removable aluminum hardtop
  • Body-colored roll bar cowlings
  • Sport-tuned exhaust silencer

I would have to say completely renovated 1994 Cadillac DeVille Concours, or a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V with the vette engine. I know Cadillacs aren't the greatest, heck my best friends 94 Concours engine just blew at 97k miles. I still love them.

1. "Eleanor" aka the 1967 Shelby GT 500 from Gone in Sixty Seconds...
2. '08 Accord coupe as a daily driver.


live2rice -> RE: your dream car and why (3/23/2008 7:44:56 PM)

Imagine that power....under your foot....everytime you get in that car.


kumazam -> RE: your dream car and why (3/23/2008 11:20:55 PM)

08' 911 GT3 RS

my dad's a Porsche guy and until recently owned 4 of them, (1) 1955 356 Pre-A (2) 1964 356 SC (3) 1986 Carrera 'Turbo-look' Coupe (4) 1997 911 Carrera...  sold the 97' & is in the process of selling the 55' Pre-A to a guy in Australia [:(] [:(] [:(]

Porsche's are in turn my dream cars and ive been lucky enough to drive more then a few, most pissed off one probably being a 2001 Turbo (not my dad's)...  anyway, the GT3 is in my opinion the purest expression of a Porsche.  no forced induction, light with no radio or rear seats in the RS, until recently no A/C either but too impractical, full integrated cage as well, and RWD (unlike the modern Turbo's)...  ahhh, one day, maybe...

I havent seen the 0-200-0

I guess the GT did beat the Viper.  But you have to take into account, that the Viper is the cheapest, yet came in second place.  That really is quite a feat in itself.

Also, out of them all the Viper is a brick in areodynamics compared to the others tested.  Another thing Vette owners ignore. 
In any case, I would take the Viper any day.  Not to mention it will most likely last much longer.
