Post by: LigerJet on July 12, 2006, 12:00:43 AM
What's everyone's favorite and/or dream cars?  Right now...I'm quite intrigued by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG...but...that price.  Augh.  I guess that's why it's only a dream car.  :(

I really love my Toyota Matrix. I originally wanted a Prius but there's literally nothing I would change about my current auto... It's got great gas mileage, handles like a dream and it has a FREAKING ELECTRICAL SOCKET RIGHT THERE!

hmmm, so many, I'll just start with some BMWs
BMW E28 M5 never got to drive it because my brother kinda wrecked the engine, was my father's old car, didn't want to fix it so just sold it.... and bought a shoddy fiat uno, urgh, the pain  :(
(http://www.m5board.com/photopost/data/504/16225250902005_31_.jpg)

might as well add the E24 M635CSI
(http://eleves.mines.inpl-nancy.fr/~morela/serie6_2.jpg)

and the M1, the only BMW made in such a chassis design (shame)

They had a whole racing series with M1s in the early 80s, it was a F1 support series with the F1 drivers in it, IIRC.

And if we're indeed talking about 'dream' cars that we will never attain, I would looooooooove to own a Porsche Carrera GT. :twisted  Though I would probably never drive it fearing I might scratch it. :cry  BTW, there are only 5 of them in my state, and one of them just so happens to be at the Porsche dealership in our town with a hefty price tag of US $450,000.

QuoteBuilt by the world renowned 'M' division of BMW, the BMW M1 was built as for homologation purposes to allow the car to compete in official racing events.

mazda have some pretty nice cars too, porsche, Lamborghini, ferrari etc is of course wait out of the regular people's budget range :<

so might as well dream a bit of what you could afford, now for some toyota:
toyota supra

But recently I've been thinking of getting a desiel van, and getting it converted to a grease car...
If I did I'd go all out and custom paint it Black or Purple,  with thw words Greasy Lightning (in a yellow gooey font) across the hood,  around the front hood and wheel wells I'd to a flame pattern using crinkle cut french fries  and on the sides Coop's face as he bites down on a cheeseburger

Well any food would do for Coop.  But I picked burgers for two reasons 1 in test drive his first Idea was to use Megas to robe the hamburger plant, and the second reason I say cheeseburgers is that when a grease car is running most people say it smells like cooking cheeseburgers and fries.

Not a big fan of Japanese cars either. Likely due to the fact that they have three teams in Formula 1, with a combined budget of 673 kazillion billion skillion bazillion yen, and have a total of 0 wins between them. Oh, and Honda and Toyota just sacked the brightest people on their teams and replaced them with "Committies". And Super Aguri? Don't ask.

I am HOPING that Raikkonen realizes that McLaren is not the team it was a few years ago, and jumps. I may have to start liking Ferrari if he does, which would be odd, to say the least.

That car is almost literally, a tank.  Which is why it's popular for police and taxi fleets.  It's surprisingly easy to handle for something so hyuge, having driven around a standard Crown Vic.  Look up the specs sometime...it's longer than a Hummer H1 by about two feet.  Thinner than King Kong by about 10 inches, though.

Oh yeah, that reminds me... http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/2003_fms_kusabi/

I want that. Even if it's not real. It was so fun in GT4, because apparently, with no real specs to go on (it never went beyond a 3D model), the developers said, "Well, let's just make it kick all ass!" And kick all ass it did... Zoooom!

I'd also like a Mini Cooper convertible. I like them for some odd reason.

Ussually, you'll find that standard police vehicles don't have governers, which basically means they won't top-out. Given enough space, you can make it go ridiculously fast, until the car itself either just goes airborne or can't handle it any longer.

Picture yourself, going about 300, and just slightly turning the wheel a few inches. You're probably gonna start flying in any given direction, the car will flip, and the momentum will carry you to impending doom very quickly.

Maybe it's not a pretty way to go, but it's one hell of a ride.

Just because a car doesn't have a governor doesn't mean it will just keep accelerating.  The car has to be geared right to get to higher speeds.  If it isn't, you'll just end up redlining and overheating/tearing the engine to shreds.
