Time to dream!!!
Money is no object, Practicality doesn't come in to it and you can have whatever you want!!!
This one's mine, what's yours??
Open to all moderators (respect) and our non-euro brothers.
Oh dear, what have I done!!

Sputnik 05-13-2003, 08:32 PM Different situations call for different cars. There are times when a stock Miata is the perfect ticket. But in the perceived intent of this thread, I would have to say that the Saleen S7 is lookin' pretty nice to me.

jbart1981 05-13-2003, 09:20 PM vote #2 for the saleen -- in the new R&T it beat the mclaren f1 to 60mph-- is now the fastest 0-60 ever tested by them @ 3.3 sec-- new interior looks great too!
ProtoConVert 05-13-2003, 09:48 PM 0-60 really is a misleading way to judge cars... try looking for video of the cars... the enzo sounds incredibly cool and pretty much looks like what a spaceship should like like in the year 2050 as far as interior controls... i mean it has an LCD information monitor on the instrumentation... Mazda could learn a bit here.
plus the mclaren can reach 240mph. Two hundred and forty miles per hour. Just insane.
jbart1981 05-13-2003, 09:57 PM ok so the mclaren makes up the 1/10th at the mile marker where they're even, but i just like the saleen better and who really drives over 200mph anyway? and you can buy 3 saleen's for the price of the mclaren.
but hey put the f1 in my driveway and i'm not complaining :D
htere was a car from norway a couple of years ago that was awesome but i can't remember the name --it started with a "Z"
anyon remember it?
jbart1981 05-13-2003, 10:29 PM iwas wrong it wasn't from norway it was from sweden it is the koenigsegg cc pretty kewl
RobDickinson 05-14-2003, 03:48 AM hmm. tough choice.
I have to stick to one? I'll try...
Lamo Miura, and a countache lp500s (not the aniversary model).
Am vantage, vanquish.
Spyker C8 Spyder
Lotus Elise
Caterham R500
Ultima GTR
Thats as short as I can make a list.
M1 RX8 05-14-2003, 04:23 AM mercedes slr for me!:D
Zonda, or Mclaren F1 - seats 3 and 2 sets of clubs! Or how about the new Lambo Mercielago? Never catch me in a Ferrari - they break down if you use them too much...
red_base 95 05-14-2003, 06:58 AM I might have to go with the Bertone Birusa Concept from the Geneva auto show
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=coverstory&loc_code=index&content_code=00620525
Even comes with a Segway if you breakdown. And the the two piece glass roof slides, stacks and stows in the boot! Did I mention the BMW 5.0 liter v-8, and trick doors?
Based on the Z8 platform, this car may see production.
ROTORIST 05-14-2003, 07:13 AM ALFA SZ
MarkW 05-14-2003, 07:29 AM These would be on the shortlist:
Pagani Zonda
SL55 AMG
Porsche GT
oilman 05-14-2003, 02:18 PM Ok Ed, so the Enzo will be in the garage now and again.
It doesn't matter 'cause I'd just roll out this one.
Agree Mark W?
Ha Ha
Cheers
Oilman:D
Lensman 05-14-2003, 02:29 PM Porsche Carrera GT!
MarkW 05-14-2003, 03:35 PM Agreed Oilman, but not in yellow. Do they do it in Velocity Red :D
Still think the Porsche is the best looking though.
oilman 05-14-2003, 03:48 PM Agree totally but the Pagani is such an AWESOME car!!
Would settle for velocity red :cool:
Cheers
Oilman
MarkW 05-14-2003, 03:57 PM Zonda is awesome.
Remember the Top Gear? episode when it left the new Lambo Murcelago for dead in a drag race. It made the Lambo look slow and that has 570bhp!
Stakato 05-14-2003, 04:50 PM Maybe this one? :D
Alfa Bera
lefuton 05-14-2003, 05:22 PM hmph, bugatti royale or zzii the tommy kaira one =)

Seriously? If you could have any car it would be a SZ?!?!?! :)
I don't suppose you own one do you? If not, have you ever tried sitting in one? If so, how can you live with that interior? Also the seam welded panels look odd and the car is very boxey.
I know the guys down at Autodelta, and they recently supercharged a SZ so I went down to have a look. Nice engine, good handling, but couldn't stand the exterior or interior.
OK, no more ranting :D
I think it is safe to assume that I am not a big fan of that particular car :)

I knew that someone would hurl some abuse about the SZ (suprised only one!) It was the other vehicle I was looking out for when I purchased the RX-7. So no I don't own one but I have driven one, loved it.
Point taken on the interior, well the dash at least is not too pretty.
However, the exterior is something else, stunning, you either love it or hate it!
Putting money aside still undecided!
shahpor 05-20-2003, 11:26 AM I suppose I have to respect the fact that the exterior is unique and different.
You are correct in that it is one of those exteriors that divides opinion, namely you love it and I hate it! :)
Still each to his own, respect for being so different :D

oilman 05-20-2003, 03:12 PM There's an article in EVO this month about buying one secondhand
if you've not already seen it.
Cheers
Oilman
ROTORIST 05-23-2003, 08:13 AM Thanks oilman, had not seen it, so much apprecited. Roughly the same price for a good one as the RX8 I have on order, decisions decisions!
oilman 05-23-2003, 09:51 AM Sorry rotorist IMHO it's bug ugly so no choice for me!
Lucky we all have different tastes!;)
Cheers
Oilman
PlasmaBoy 05-23-2003, 02:34 PM In a Heartbeat , I would get an Aston Martin Vanquish, the only car that has taken my breath away!
