I wanted to see if i could get somethin started here. What, in you guys' opinion is the PERFECT car

I'll start it off with my opinion, the 2006 Cadillac STS-V. Perfect mix of power and luxury. Not seriously flashy (e.g. Bentley, Maybach, Lambo, Ferrari, etc.) I would almost consider the car "unmodifiable" (the only thing i would do is switch the wheels with the ones off of the CTS-V, preserving OEM quality) :cool:

FUK GM, the interior quality and that awful art and science crap are going

nowhere. plus it will depricate so fast, that next year it will be worth half of

what it is new. not a smart buy at all.

my perfect car list.

1. Ferrari f430 WITH-OUT THAT FUKIN SMG automatic.
2. Mercedes AMG CLS-55. 4door and most beautiful car to come out.
3. New 911 w/o 4wd and with the carbon brakes.
for real world prices.
1. EVO 9, 4wd but best feature is at the end of day its a 4door. :goodjob:
2. S2000, lacks torque but the best drivers sports car out there.
3. RSX, has best potential of any FWD

E55 AMG.. perfect blend of power, luxury and style.

As far as modding goes, Toyota Supra by far..I didnt truly appreciate it until I started modifying the G35 that I had. The look is timeless, reliable and the potential is unreal.

I'd take either an m5, e65 amg, m6, or one of those 911 turbos with the crazy 800 hp setups.

:lmfao: Sorry had to laugh at that. A b Series motor has more potential then any K series last I checked.

How can a car with no torque be the best drivers sports car out there? The s2k is fun.. but not the best out there. Now if it has some sort of FI it would def be a diffrent story.

For me the perfect car has to be able to do almost anything. It's gotta be fast and quick, handle great but not at the expense of a comfy ride, gotta have state of the art tech (ICE, safety shit, etc), be reliable and not super expensive to maintain and service, and be able to carry people and other shit as needed.

2-seaters and other exotics are out as they are either single-purpose cars or too impractical to use or expensive to maintain.

BMW M5 and MBz E55 or S55 are great choices. But the PERFECT car is this:

Yep, a Mercedes E55 AMG station wagon. Hauls ass, people, shit, whatever. Comfortable, easy to drive, can be fixed at any Benz dealer, plenty of toys on board, does it all. Here's a good article about it: http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=16&article_id=9835

For my perfect car...I'd have to move to the UK. I'd go for a TVR Sagaris.

http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2004/2004-TVR-Sagaris-SA-Car-Show-1024x768.jpg

Just enough creature comforts for a daily driver (almost)...but serious enough to be a hardcore driver's car. Not to mention, I think it looks amazing.

I wouldn't say it's "perfect" but I bought my S Type R because it is the total package of luxury, looks and performance... I also like the M3/M5 or the ML55AMG

The Jaguar S-Type is an impressive machine but I'm not a big fan of it's styling. I like the XJ series a little more but hey...I wouldn't turn one down.

Congratulations man...nice car.

Hah...now the only not-so-perfect thing is that I'd have to fork out rougly $90,000 to drive one.

Weren't there plans to bring TVR to the States by 2007?

If they ever made it, an M5 AWD station wagon, until then I'll say regular M5.

They have made or are making an m5 wagon, but not likely to be awd.

Ok MY PERFECT car....

Rahul, the TVR is awesome, but i think id get tired having to get down that low EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Id rather take this.....

http://www.mybmwguy.com/images/2007bmwm61.jpg

Yes, the Two Door 2007 BMW M6. Perfect driveability, luxury, uniqueness, and it looks cool.

If not that then a Subaru STi S204, lol.

Yeah but if i could only have one car for the next 20 years and that was my perfect car. It would be the m6 or the s204 but in LHD so an STi with al the dressings.

If we are talking absolute just one of the cars in the garage. Then idk, Enzo dont sound too bad. ;)

I thing that S204 would pound your ass to pudding if you drove it every day. M3's a good call...as is the M6. I'm not a huge fan of the styling though...gahh.

Mehul, I bet you sat in a Chimaera or a Griffith. It may have even been a Tasmin...

I think it'd be awesome for TVR to come stateside...but then again, it'd kinda seem like they were selling out in a way. Sounds lame but ehh...I consider the Sagaris to be 'my exotic'.

Haha...I really want one of those man...so bad.

02-16-2006, 10:10 AM
I think VooDoo was right about the TVR coming stateside next year. I read that one of the car mags (motor trend or car & driver) If that Sagaris comes with that reflex perlecent paint they got, then i'll get in line for one

The Lotus Esthi hands down for me. Sporty, compact, exotic, powerful, and fast. 315k/mh top speed(196.mph) Its based on the Elise chassis so the handling is all there. Weighs less than 2k. 420hp tt audi motor. esprit brakes. take your evos n bmws and this car will drive circles around them. has everything i want in a car. Too bad there is limited production and a waiting list.
