What's your fav car?

[fporto_br]

1. Porsche 911 Turbo
- But the first model - a real challenge to drive hard;

2. Dodge Viper
- The first modern american car to re-embody the muscle car spirit;

3. BMW M5
- the best way to make 4 people waste their pants at the same time;

4. Porsche Cayenne Turbo
- Not the best-looking but the best SUV ever. Period.

5. Volvo 850 T5-R
- The best scandinavian car of all time - safe and FAST;

6. Lotus Elise
-small, light, extremely agile... one zippy little beast;

7. Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86
- One of the last large-production compact cars with rear-wheel drive. I'd love to have one...

8. Ford Ka
- ??? WTF?!? you may say... But the 1.6 liter version sold in Brazil is incredibly fun to drive. My next car, for sure!

 

[McLaren'sAngel]

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

Mine will always be the McLaren F1! Although I have already though hard long and before of how its nearly IMPOSSIBLE for me to own one, I find the MKIV Toyota Supra Twin Turbo as a very good replacement!

If they can ever get it into production that is...

84-88 Bertone X1/9
88 BMW M5
86 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Edition

98-03 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T

You guys have never even seen those cars.

 

[TheWizard]

If they can ever get it into production that is...

If they do, I'll be waiting in line at my local car dealer with $500,000 in my right hand and $500,000 in my left hand
Oh wait... there probably won't be that much of a line
Oh wait #2... I probably won't have $500,000 dollars in my right hand and $500,000 dollars in my left hand... matter of fact I'll be lucky to get to $50,000 in each hand

P.S. I knew it wasn't in production yet, that's why I said local car dealer

Also, there most likely won't be a line, because, whenever/if it gets into production, all the lucky ritch b@stards will be on Bugatti's list already...

[skip0110]

They are all good picks except for:

98-03 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T
Sure, it has a 360 in it, but the breathing sucks and it's tuned for torque--have you seen the lenth of the intake runners on these things?

05-_ Jaguar X-Type wagon
What is so special about this Modeno clone?

99-01 Lexus ES300 Coach Edition
Uhmmm......

92-94 Oldsmobile Bravada
85-88 Plymouth Caravelle
91-94 Pontiac Sunbird V6 convertible
A Dodge Diplomat clone, a S10/Jimmy clone, and a J-car?! What sort of joke is this?

 

[Danny]

The X-Type is a fine car.

 

[skip0110]

The X-Type is a fine car.

It is fine, but eclipsed by other cars in the segment. For a similar price, you can get a 6-cylinder Outback with a better engine and a better AWD system.

 

[Danny]

But a Legacy isn't a Jaguar.

 

[1X83Z]

They are all good picks

They're all from my list of super-rare cars. That alone makes them cool.

Sure, it has a 360 in it, but the breathing sucks and it's tuned for torque--have you seen the lenth of the intake runners on these things?

Do I know what an intake runner is? They were rare!

What is so special about this Modeno clone?

Mainly rarity.

99-01 Lexus ES300 Coach Edition
Uhmmm......

Dude, you have to give me this one, rare cars or not - it came with a full set of luggage! (if I were buying used I'd demand the original luggage; same goes for the other Lexus Coach cars and the Volkswagen K2 and TREK Jetta models)

92-94 Oldsmobile Bravada
85-88 Plymouth Caravelle
91-94 Pontiac Sunbird V6 convertible
A Dodge Diplomat clone, a S10/Jimmy clone, and a J-car?! What sort of joke is this?

The 85-88 Caravelle was a Dodge 600 clone. The 92-94 Bravada got way more power than the period's Blazer and Jimmy. I have a bunch of J-bodies on my list.

The X-Type is a fine car.

It's interesting you should say that because I consider it to be one of the five worst vehicles on the market. Anybody could easily get an Altima V6 and do way better than a BMW - they get a BMW for workmanship, handling, and name. But the Jaguar is priced to compete with a BMW, not an Altima V6, yet it doesn't have the workmanship or the handling! It was a good idea, but it didn't work.

 

[Danny]

It's a handsome car

Do you see a pattern (aside from the fact that I have seen all of these cars...)?

 

[1X83Z]

Do you see a pattern (aside from the fact that I have seen all of these cars...)?

Is the pattern that you're the only person to have heard of the 92-94 Audi S4 besides me?

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Is the pattern that you're the only person to have heard of the 92-94 Audi S4 besides me?

Yes!
That, and the fact that:

A. there are no Japanese cars in the list (not that they're bad, just not interested)
B. all cars are either turbocharged or have V8s

Turbo...

 

[skip0110]

They're all from my list of super-rare cars. That alone makes them cool.

Really? How about these then?

Monte Carlo Aerocoupe

80's Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

93-97 Lexus GS300

MrktMkr1986 - I like your taste. 👍 The Capri GTs look so much better than the Mustangs IMO.

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Really? How about these then?

Monte Carlo Aerocoupe

80's Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

MrktMkr1986 - I like your taste. 👍

Thank you!
As a matter of fact, I'm going to add those two cars to the list of favorites. I've only seen the "Bubbleback" Monte Carlo once in my life. The Cutlass 442 looks great!

 

[Danny]

Yes!
That, and the fact that:

A. there are no Japanese cars in the list (not that they're bad, just not interested)
B. all cars are either turbocharged or have V8s

Turbo...

Also noted: No british cars.

Aston Martin, TVR, Lotus, Noble, Morgan, Bentley, Vauxhall not your thing, eh?

 

[TheWizard]

Yes!
That, and the fact that:

A. there are no Japanese cars in the list (not that they're bad, just not interested)

Turbo...

Yeah, also what about Italian cars
You know, that sort of thing, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Zonda, etc. 👍
Or even FIAT 👎

The Wizard.

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Also noted: No british cars.

Aston Martin, TVR, Lotus, Noble, Morgan, Bentley, Vauxhall not your thing, eh?

Actually, they are... the list is a work-in-progress...

only V8 and turbocharged British cars though...

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Yeah, also what about Italian cars
You know, that sort of thing, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Zonda, etc. 👍
Or even FIAT 👎

The Wizard.

I like Italian cars too! Don't worry they'll be added. My only preference is V8-powered or turbo-powered.

 

[TheWizard]

I was only kidding
Not about the FIAT, though... please don't add that to your list Even WE Italians despise that company...

Good choice about the V8's though, and TURBO is awesome, too...
Sometime I prefer naturally aspirated, though...

The Wizard.

 

[MrktMkr1986]

My dream car list has been updated... the cars I listed are cars that I have seen in real life.

 

[1X83Z]

Yes!

I've had people look at me funny for even mentioning it - "the S4? That's not that old!! Ha, ha, ha!" No, ass. I know cars. The S4 came here from 1992 to 1994. Doesn't help the cause that it was sold for three years and when the name changed to S6 in 1995, S6 sales actually doubled S4 sales from 1992 to 1994 combined.

Really? How about these then?

Had the 87 Aero Coupe, but not the 85-87 442 Cutlass - though I added it. Thanks for the suggestion!!! Why didn't you mention the 83-84 Cutlass Hurst?

And the GS300? I'm not sure where you live, but unless it's under a rock, then I wouldn't call that rare.

 

[MrktMkr1986]

I've had people look at me funny for even mentioning it - "the S4? That's not that old!! Ha, ha, ha!" No, ass. I know cars.

I get that a lot too...most of my friends think that because they've watched 2 Fast 2 Furious a couple of times that makes them experts on cars!

The S4 came here from 1992 to 1994. Doesn't help the cause that it was sold for three years and when the name changed to S6 in 1995, S6 sales actually doubled S4 sales from 1992 to 1994 combined.

Was it a better car why there was a dramatic sales increase? Or did Audi figure out that when you're marketing a car, the bigger the numbers the better (usually).
