+1. If money was no object why wouldn't a car that can suck it's gas tank dry in 12 minutes???

I'd like to have my FIL's new car

Maserati Quattroporte MY'08

 

[Soulive]

One of these, hands down...

One of these, hands down...

Is that a Defender 90? My mom used to work for LandRover, so I got to drive one of those and a Discovery when I was 18.

Yes mam...:rockin:

 

[McKBrew]

I just as easily substitute a Landrover like that one instead of a ScoutII. Landrovers are a bit more spendy though.

[MadDwarf]

No lie - I've wanted one of these for a long time.

For the "What is that?" Factor:

I wouldn't say "what is that", I'd say "Hey, nice Sunbeam Tiger"

 

[Brewtopia]

Don't have any pictures but i've always longed for a 1955 Merc Sun Valley.

Like this?


Beatiful car.

I actually have one. Mine is a 4-door. It also isn't in this condition.


My other dream car:

 

[user 4295]

I have an unhealthy love for all things Pontiac.

I'll second that! I had a lot of fun building this 1976 Trans Am Pro-tour! This is the car I always wanted as a kid, and it performs better now than the engineers at Pontiac ever could have conceived of in 1976, LOL! Poncho motors need only apply! She's got a 461 stroker (1972 Pontiac 400 block bored .030" over with a 4.25" stroke forged crank), Tremec TKO-600 5-speed into a Moser 12 bolt with 3.73's. She's a real mover!

[Beards Brews]

Seeing that money is no object, then I could afford a good chiropractor after riding a sexy beast like this all day...

and next to that in my garage would be a HD road king

and every good ol' boy needs a pick-em-up truck. I'm madly in love with the 1960-66 Chevy C10 stepside trucks (63 pictured)

This is a Faster One

The problem I have with "super cars" is that anything less than 700hp is a waste of time. I can make a naturally aspirated, carbureted 383 Chevy put out 535 hp with my eyes closed. Add two stage nitrous and I'm already at 700. Again, out of a naturally aspirated, carbureted engine. For under $10k.

A supercharged LS-7 can put out 700hp+ for about $30k. So to charge $350k for something like a Murcielago which only puts out 640hp seems silly regardless of how well the car handles.

Dude, the people who design supercars spend more money making a car STOP than you are talking about to make it go. 800BHP doesn't do you any good if you can't go around corners, stop, beat the wind resistance etc. If you want to further your argument, then talk about the Z06 Carvette, a true supercar for under $80K!

 

[Orfy]

The point is - They are not supposed to make sense!

There is no need to spend more than 100k on a car. It's the fact that you can.
Lets face it. I could build a road car that does 0-60 in under 3.5 seconds for under $25K

I have driven a $14k car that does it in around 4.
The bank manager wouldn't let me buy it.

Just to make my commute easier every day....

Thank you for making my point for me.
If one of these companies (Ferrari, Lambo, etc.) are going to charge 4x as much for their car, there should be 4x as much performance. Apart from the Bugatti Veyron, I can't say any current supercar is doing that.

I don't know why this one stuck in my mind so...

Thanks Orfy
The one thing I do know for sure. Is that your dreams will only become reality if you hold on to them, and never let them die!

Cheers
