^ Ooohhhhhh! Very tough choices there!

-> Oh well, the S2000 and the E46 M3 are out because of this:

304214_2579876473030_611850466_n.jpg

;)

-> The 996 Carrera is also out, because it's somewhat bland compared to the others. Sure, it's a very dynamic car and all, but it's no GT3 nor a Turbo either.

-> The 'Clown Shoe' Z3M is unspecified if its either the S50, S52, or S54 engines. So at the moment, I'm unable to answer at the moment.

-> The SeiW is just no. Not another Se7en replica again!

-> The S15 is very tempting! But just like the MX-5/Miata, it has to be tuned up to the butt to make it worthy.

-> I have HUGE respect to the FD Bathurst R, but I still have no guts of owning a Rotary-powered sports car yet.

-> So it leaves between the two Subies then!

- The BRZ is simply out simply because I already have an S2000, it basicaly voids any reason to own a SubieYota.

- Overall, the Bunta Car wins this one!

^ Yup, it's a very hard choice whether which one should I drive each day!!! :ouch:

I prefer the "2nd" generation, like the one from The Living Daylights where it had a nicer grille and wheels.

But in the case of these two quoted. I'll have the V12.


Miura vs Aventador

The Miura doesn't look as nice as the regular versions and the Aventador just looks insane. Aventador it is.
 
Lambos: I'll have the Aventador. It's much easier to drive quickly, it has scissor doors and looks much more mental.
 
Special Miura vs Special Aventador - As soon a I saw the pictures, I wanted to choose the Miura. I live in London though, so I can hardly see myself sustaining that car. As drop-dead gorgeous as it is, I can't choose it. But hey, at least my friends will be more impressed with the Aventador!

1. Aventador
2. Miura

I haven't done one of these in a while.


I also think this one will be an easy choice, but I may be surprised...

1964 Shelby Cobra with a 289 cubic inch V8

64-shelby-289-cobra-1.jpg


or...

A brand new Factory Five Racing MK4 Roadster with a 427 cubic inch V8?

IMG_0204.jpg



I'd rather have the 289, because it's a legitimate Shelby. I can see why some people who aren't fans of Shelby's would choose the kit, though. Because it's faster...
 
I'd rather have the 289 but both are epic and have a lot of aftermarket support. You can get 2014 Shelby Cobra's though, I have a dealership in town. The 289 still has a lot of tire shredding power, especially in a light car.

Only difference is that is doesn't have the original CSX stamp on the frame.
 
I'd choose the F5 because they'll have worked on the chassis and suspension for better handling. If the legit Cobra was an original 427, I'd still would've gone with the F5.
 
Let me add that the very same Cobra I posted up there (original) sold for $825,000 at an auction a few weeks ago.

The kit can be had for $19,990 minus engine/transmission/rear end, wheels/tires, and a paint job (which are added after you get the kit).

Not trying to change any of the above opinions, just adding some information I forgot.
 
Doesn't Shelby still make Cobra's new?
Yes, I had a Shelby-only Dealership in my town. They had 427 Cobras with the current year for sale. The sell the 427's with the CSX-4000 tags (production resumed in 1997) and you can get the body in either aluminum or fiberglass. You can also get 289 models.

I can walk into my local dealership and drive out with a 427 Cobra for a bit more cash.
 
No. The closest Ford came to reviving the Cobra was the 2002 concept. Also the original Cobra was made by UK-based AC Motors. Shelby supplied the 427 engine.

Wrong. Production resumed in 1997. http://shelbyamerican.com/427sc.asp


There was also 1967 GT500 Eleanors from the movie there too but they wanted a fortune for it. My buddies dad looked at it and knows the guys that work there.
 
Shelby Cobra 289 vs. Factory Five MK4 If I had the money for an original Cobra, I wouldn't even think about getting a kit.

Results:
1: Shelby Cobra 289
2: Factory Five MK4
 
Yes, but they're not really original. They're still kits, sort of.

If I understand correctly, they are pretty much exact replicas, but using modern touches and fiberglass (mostly) instead of aluminum. You can also get your '14 Shelby Cobra with carbon fiber.

When you purchase you have the option of buying them in either fiberglass or aluminum. They have new vin tags, so yes they are new, and not 1960s cars, but they are the same car as the 1960s cars. Just a new year.


This is the indoor dealership in town.

Also, today, according to Shelby American's website, you can still purchase all of these barnd new with 2014 model year tags.

Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
Shelby Cobra 50th Anniversary
Shelby Cobra 289 Roadster (Street)
Shelby Cobra 289 FIA (Race Car)
Shelby GT40 MKII
Shelby Daytona Coupe



So all those old '60s cars are, yes, still in production.

There is usually a few of them in there. I see them on the road all the time. I was at Burger King once and I saw a guy fly down the road in one lol
