    I wonder when someones actually buying something like this think to themselves "Bloody hell, have I made it or what!"

    Because I bloody know thats what I'd be thinking!

    Drove a hire one in Los Angeles. Lovely car but I'd have to get it in manual. There was no punch in the automatic ;)

    Does everything a dream car should do and more, in spades.
    Will beat most everything in a straight line, will go everywhere, and will carry all the family and luggage!!! Even the dog can come along! try that in a 911:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    Either an Ariel Atom, or a DB9. But probably the DB9.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I saw a Shelby GT500 Mustang last week which would tempt me.

    Then an M5 touring or whatever the Audi performance estates are called would do the trick for me.

    my dream car would be a classic american muscle styled car but built in 2009 with european suspension and all mod cons running something like the jaguar V6 twin turbo diesel engine or the VAG 2.0 170bhp with a hybrid in the boot to give some damn cheap running. A big bad a$$ car so the hybrid wouldnt take up much boot space proportionally! 4 wheels driven of course

    mmmmn

    think i might start a car manufacturing business :)

    They tend throw away most of the Porsche parts and replace them with their own bits.

    The only Porsche part they use is the shell of the 997. Thereafter they chop it, lengthening and widening it. Every other part is bespoke RUF. The performance and quality of the cars are even better than that of Porsche, however the cost is much greater. The Rt12 is running at around €300k ex VRT, however it's performance figures are some of the best in the world outside of a Veyron. I had a chance to pay a very quick visit to the RUF headquarter in Pfaffenhausen last year, the place is stunning. Every car is hand built and the attention to detail of the mechanics is unbelievable.

    I knew about them from playing grand trismo but thought that for trademark issues they made there own name,you learn something new every day.

    You mean a G60 or VR6? Or is there some one-off conversion VR6 with the Supercharger from a G60 stuck on?

    There was meant to be a '/' between those. I haven't made up my mind which one I want yet

    Bike rack on the back. May take away from the looks and handling a little, but you've got you're bikes on at least. :)

    I agree with suspension and brake upgrades but the only engine that belongs in a muscle car is a V8! As for hybrid!?! Pah! And they HAVE to be RWD!
