    an M1 tank (im sure you know why), 1969 pontiac GTO black, 2000 GMC Sierra SLT exteneded cab, a hearse would be cool too call it the widow maker or something cheesy like that. or a WWII deathbringer vehicle of some sort just as long as its camo. well any vehicle would rock in camo like a military blazer, i could wear my red flannel shirt with the sleaves cut off and my NRA or John Dear hat have gun rack in the back a camo jacket and blasten some highly offensive black metal band like wako jesus or dying fetus, eat junck food and pass stupid people and blast em with a paintball gun. yeah that would be the day.

    Ok, here goes(run screaming now)...

    Import cars:

    -Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec(I'd give my left nut to own one of these).
    This car is only available in Japan, and would have to be specially imported. It comes with Nissan's RB26DETT motor, a twin turbo 2.6L inline six pushing about 350hp. In stock trim, the car has all-wheel-drive, computerized traction control, and the stock engine can handle over 500hp without rebuilding the bottom end. This vehicle is generally considered the Holy Grail of Japanese tuning performance. Extreme examples have been seen pushing over 1000hp to the wheels. Since the car debuted in 1993, it has won nearly every Group 1 Endurance race in which it has been entered.

    -My Cavalier.
    With about $10,000 to dump into the motor, I'd have that little blue car pushing 400hp.

    -Toyota Supra.
    Another example of Japan's mad car building skills. The 2JZ-GTE motor in the Supra is a twin turbo 3.0L inline six pushing about 350hp. The stock motor can handle over 800hp without fortification.

    -Mazda RX-7.
    Mazda's twin turbo 1.3L twin rotor motor is capable of similar numbers to the Supra and the Skyline. And it's lighter.

    -91 Honda CRX.
    Take this car and drop the 2.0L B20Z from the Honda CR-V into it, and swap on a B18-C5 head from the Integra Type-R. Combined with a properly built bottom-end and an HKS GT3250 turbo kit, you'll have an 1800-lb car pushing over 400hp.

    -Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII.
    Mitsubishi's European rally car, available soon in the US. It comes with the 250hp turbocharged 4G63 2.0L four cylinder, all wheel drive, computerized traction control with 3 limited slip differentials, active yaw control, and killer body styling.

    Muscle cars:

    -69 Shelby Cobra.

    -71 Dodge Charger R/T in black with a supercharged, bored, and stroked Hemi.

    -71 Chevelle in midnight blue with a blown 454 big block.

    -67 Mustang fastback.

    ah, the simple things...

    A 300-series BMW with M3 upgrades. The exterior is green, but so dark that it looks black. All light-tan leather interior with wood paneling accents. 17-inch chrome rims and performance tires. BMW stock stereos are pretty nice anyway, but I'd like to go in and make a "few special modifications." ;) I need great sound. Gold trim package? No - BMW's gold trim isn't very good looking IMHO - I'll stick with silver.

    As for muscle cars... well, I don't know 'cuz I don't really pay attention to them. Sorry. **shrug**

    :D

    Um hello Farrari F40!.. Beat the pants off of all ya'll

    If that ain't enough, check the stats on the GNX. Kill the Gov'ner that kicks in at 124MPH and you're all eating my dust. Stats are at 0-60 in approx 5 five seconds and quarter mile in 13.4 @ 104mph. And that's damm near factory.
    [image=http://home.att.net/~buickGNX/GNX/smoke_jr.jpg] from Buick GNX *I've seen 0.92g quoted on the skidpad and that sounds closer to the difference in "feel". One day I'll test mine out*
    And it is interesting to note Car & Driver also got the best 0-60 I've seen published on a stock Grand National- 4.9 seconds in 1986. That is NOT the GNX. The GNX came a year later and is turbo/intercooled w/ a ceramic turbine. :D F-in POWER! :D

    Not enough for ya'?

    alright, you got me with the ferrari, but i would take the porche carrera turbo over ANYTHING buick puts out! ;)
    the carrera does 0-60 in 3.6 secs, and the 1/4 mile in 12.2
    not to mention that style comes into play heavily when i choose a ride... :cool:

    [image=http://www.getnet.net/~sideshow212/porcheturbo.jpg]

    but if you want the faster still...
    there's the McLaren F1, it has a BMW 6.1 Liter V12 engine producing 627 hp with a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 230-240 mph. the McLaren F1 GTR is the fastest, most powerful and most expensive production car in the world.

    [image=http://www.getnet.net/~sideshow212/McLarenF1black.jpg]
    [image=http://www.getnet.net/~sideshow212/McLarenF1orange.jpg]

    and style; yeah, it's got that too... :cool:

    Um, yeah. Guys, take a Toyota Supra, dump $10,000 into the motor, and you have a street legal car pushing close to 1,000hp for under $35,000. That's good for sub 10-second quarter mile times. Oh, and the Jun Racing Supra designed for top speed racing was clocked on the salt flats at 249mph. Also street legal. And all from a 3.0L inline six...

    So :p

    Sistine, just think of the money you will be saving by not smoking and that money could be used to buy the car. Or buy a stock that appreciates and use the profits to then buy the car. Just a suggestion.

    Mmm...350Z...<drool> That's a sweet ride. And it beats the TWIN TURBO 300ZX from the early 90's from 0-60 AND in the quarter mile. Not bad for a naturally-aspirated six, eh?

    Not to mention that with the way the front suspension is designed with split steering knuckles, it could harbour a future front set of axels. That's right, kids, all wheel drive!

    Though I will always remain true to my Mustang, I do enjoy a good Viper from time to time. The 2003 model is very GRRRRR!! Not as powerful as the 2002 though.
