Judging from ur name u must be a girl. And a one with pretty and elegant taste :D .
I would choose the M3(e46) or the Porsc GT3. They r both two of the topest fun to drive cars. Fast, classy, fun to drive... :D

Mine is the Aston Martin Vanquish V12. This car is soooo smooth
and from the looks of it so is NiGiz!
Anyway; mine would be the upcoming TVR 440R - its not overly expensive, but it fast and not a common cliche-ed choice for the rich guys.

Vivian, the term "excellent" is too narrow to describe the V12 Vanquish...
Anyway, I think I'd choose the Bugatti Veyron. :)

Mine would be a fully restored '68 Dodge Charger R/T with a 426 Hemi and racing slicks. That, or a '69 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1. Only one still exsists. I'd also take an M5 or a ferrari, but it wouldn't be as fun or cool.

A detomaso Pantera? Would you want one with the bodykit or not? I've heard the cockpit has some major plaws, but the car and the engine are excellent. I'm surpised you would want a viper and your not american. I was reading car magazine and they had very small reveiw at the end of the magazine of the old viper. They said it was like a pig, and they wouldn't even consider buying it. They gave it 1 1/2 stars out of 5.

yeah - annoying how there will be people who'll drive the car for a year or 2, and since only a few hundred are made, they'll be able to sell it on for more than they paid for it :roll:
You see cars like Aston Martins and Ferrari's all the time in music videos and movies. If I could have my choice at any car I'd go with a TVR Tuscan R. Very powerful, very light and looks like nothing else on the road.

i guess my dream car would be a 1965 Shelby Cobra with a 427 sideoiler. that would be nice to have, but you can't hardly find an original one, not that i could afford one if i found one :( oh well, i guess i'll stick with my 1968 Ford LTD with factory 428 :D

Well, I must say I am very Excited about they Veyron myself, being a VW enthusiest. But My personal chocie would the be the eeny weeny little giant slayer of supercars(in my own opinion), the Lotus Elise S2
:!: behold :!:
http://www.lotuscars.co.uk/olc.cfm?name=new_elise_pictures
Hehe, I know to some of you it may seem to be just a weird little baby car. But i dare you to try and pet it, you might just pull back a bloody stub :P The Lotus Elise S2 might be MUCH more common in Europe, but I find it very ellusive and exotic. The style is very intense and in your face, but in a good way from the way i see it. The Elise does suffer from some kinda funky build quality at times, but it is specaitly car and you should take extra extra good care of it anyway. It's insanely lightweight, turbo,high reving engineered, and will make anyone stare, hopefully grin.
With 156bhp in the 2001 model, you can sprint form 0-60 in under 6 seconds. Not too bad, not SUPER SUPER car though. You won't be able to find anything for the same price though that can carry the speed through the turns like an Elise. I would definitly want to tune it so tight you could take on 99.9% of anything rolling on asphalt. It can definitly handle much more power. The handling, braking, and transmission are of very high caliber as well, nothing US made can touch it, stock at least.
So, a 'super car' with an I-4 engine? Yeah, thats how I see it, and thats what I dream about :D

Alrighty, well my absolute dream car?? Even though I LOVE Vipers...I've grown a custom to Ferraris over the past couple years. I think someday I'd own a Viper...but as far as ever owning a Ferrari, almost near never.
So with out a doubt I'd have to say that my ''dream'' car is either a Ferrari 360 Modena...or the Ferrari Enzo. Ya know...any Ferrari would be nice actually, but if given the choice..those are mine!!
Gotta love the new Enzo though...mmmm..damn I wish I had the money for one. :)

the Mclaren Style is unique and original, and the SLR is soo mercedes..
is cool, but is not that special enough...
of course i like it, i would love to have one, but i am talking about different eras:
the Mclaren F1 was better in 1994 than SLR in 2003
are you agree? or not?
tell me your opinions please

Now, that is the drifting I try to stay away from.
That kind of drifting is actually kinda boring......
No one's passing ****.........
And Jim :arrow: Drifting is actually faster cuz in a real drift, you neber decelerate.....
The way I think the people who do the drift for show is that before going into the corner, they brake reeeally hard and floor it to induce some oversteer.....
that's not really a drift. It's really a powerslide and it's what beginners (like the show drifters) do.....
In a real drift, you turn as much as you can without braking, and den wid some brake, clutch, and gas work, you cause the car to point into da direction you want to get out of the corner and you accelerate the whole way........
All dis might not be clear, but its the best i can type up @ midnight

Go searching on Kazaa for drifting.. there is a japanese Video with japanese cars.. and a Japansese guy.
he will learn you every Terms of drifitng many kinds of drifts it's relax.. now the only bad thing is that i'm driving a FWD car...
SOoo i'm not able to powerslide outa the corner me can only do it with the brake and i already did , but when i hit the throttle the car will imediatly coma back in a straight line.. :)
But it feels great! and i can say... you need a big hearth with an Alfa 155 cause it has alot of grip!..
Ciao.. Danny!
Thlam
Oct 04, 2003, 10:33 AM
actually FWD cars are the most easy to drift, drifting is basically getting the rear end loose, with a FWD car that is very easy becasue the front wheel has most fo the traction on in it

DarkVenom666
Oct 05, 2003, 4:57 PM
A Touge Showdown.... That's a head to head uphill and downhill challenge, right? First, the less powered car starts second cause it's uphill and at the second stage, it'll start first, cause it's uphill. Well, if this is right, i know there's only 1 rule: The first stays first and the second says second, one may not pass an other. And no bumping, pushing and that stuff, but that's kind of obvious....

Sorry, i haven't read this post before. I only read your last one. Well, for example: Car 1 has a 2 sec head start advantage. At the end, when the distance between Car 1 and Car 2 has increased, Car 1 wins, if it has decreased, Car 2 wins. Did this help?

I am tired of hearing about the Veyron. What ever happened to the McLaren. Or, has anyone heard of the Bugatti EB110 GT?
The EB110 GT was never a success, it kinda failed, which is why it is kinda forgotten. And IMO it looks like a toy car :lol: - and I have a blue toy model of it as well somewhere :?
http://proxy.bashnet.ru/cars/top_37/eb110_2b.jpg
I am personally very tired of the McLaren F1, and quite pleased when it is not always brought up, its not that great a car now IMO, unless its the LWB GT car :P And finally the Veyron, well, I've seen it at the motorshow, but the chances that it will be seen on the road :? it doesn't even have the claimed horsepower output at the moment, so far it has only tested to 998bhp, not the full 1001bhp that they claimed was possible :shock: and lots of other problems, as Jim mentioned in another post, the noise produced is illegally too loud! So there is far too much work still to be done at the moment.
