  • Closed Accounts Posts: 662 ✭✭✭Ba$tard


    Sorry but is gotta be the Toyota Supra for me.

    You wouldn't believe how much I want one (since 1994!), never mind to test-drive one.....

    3.0 V6 twin HKS Timed Turbos running 18PSI Boost. HKS Waistgate, re-circulating dump valves and Intercoolers 2 sets of V-type HKS CAI induction kits new fuel rails and pump 20-lb bottle of 150-shot nitrous and a smile

    470bhp without the red button pressed, 620bhp on a 25-second run of NOS

    I can insure an RZ Twin-T fully comp for just over 2k Euro so insurance is not the problem....its the actual cost of the car and upkeep(20mpg) :(

    I'll just stick to my whimpy VTi for the time being :(
    Oh well....

    But the new Vanquish is so much nicer. :D Sadly it'll probaly be the last of the V12s cos of emissions laws, so (*checking my lotto ticket) I'll probably never own a AM V12. It's the only reason I'm going to go see the new Bond film.

    ohhhhh where to start... :D

    For Pure Driving Fun:

    Mercedes AMG SL55
    BMW Z Series Roadster
    BMW M3 Coupe
    BMW M5
    Porsche 911 GT2
    Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

    For Luxury:

    Range Rover Vogue
    Mercedes S600
    BMW 750iL
    Jaguar XKR Convertible
    Rolls Royce Park Ward
    Bentley Continental R

    That should do for now... all I need now is a big garage to put them all in... and a house to go with em. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭bertiebowl


    For unlimited amounts of money it has to be the BMW X5 4.6 iS - complete F**K U to to the enviroment or a BMW M5

    In the real world I guess a BMW 320d touring would be the best, or actually make it a 330d touring.

    You know which manufacturer I love!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,316 ✭✭✭ButcherOfNog


    well my previous 'most wanted' was a 4th generation 2.2vtec honda prelude, but i have that now, heh, so next on the list would be either a toyota supra (popular in this list) or a nissan 300zx. after that prolly a honda nsx or a porsche of some description :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Aston Martin Vanquish V12

    if we're talking dream it's got to be the fastest on the road.
    lamborghini murcielago.
    production car world record for 100 miles standing start.
    ~30 min. 0-60 under 4 and top speed of 207.
    only a quarter of a million dollars but there are limited numbers so there might be a delay in delivery;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭BJJ


    The Fastest Road Car is not the lamborghini ,
    but the McClarenF1
    the Car that won LeMans 24hrs in 1995

    The Ultimate Regular Road Car!!

    The normal Road Car can be adjusted and repaired via satelite, as you drive around the country side.


    0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds

    6o64cc

    Faster than an F1 Car


    Top speed 232mph

    The McClaren F1 is the best


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭BJJ


    Price half a million Euro/Dollars


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 182 ✭✭DeeJ


    pocket change! that is the dream car allright - did y'all know that Mr Bean had one of those and wrote it off? thats blasphemy.


    i love the jag xkr conv. and sorry to be a sheep but the supra is a beautiful car.

    theres one car ive always wanted over the batmobile, kit, etc and that is the ca\r in the Dukes of Hazzard - class!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Borzoi


    I'm another XK8/XKR fan. Once saw one in Germany parked with the top down, so temtped to pop in!

    Thank god Jags depreciate so much, I may be able to afford one some day.

    have a look boys and droooooollll

    enjoy.. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I heard that the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest car on the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 cowlren


    The Veyron is setting the benchmark for all to follow alright.
    Unfortunately its not on the road yet, probably late2003 or 2004 before there is a production model..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,652 ✭✭✭Chimaera


    Hmmm - dream car eh?

    I guess for normal day-to-day driving, a new Mercedes E400CDi estate with brabus engine management chip. 330bhp, 690Nm, 0-60 in 6.3s and a top whack of 170mph :D The S-Class version would tempt me as well.

    For playing in then, a Caterham 7 Superlight R500 :) 238bhp in a car that weighs 510kg, nuff said!!
