    twin sequential turbos
    active AWD with driver adjustable torque split
    active ride height with computer controlled or manual adjustment
    kevalr composite and aluminum body
    6 speed manual transmission
    magnesium wheels
    multilink suspension
    4-piston brakes
    high 11 sec 1/4 miles near 120 mph stock

    Many of these items were firsts for production cars, and many are still available only on exotics now.

    The "confort" version was fully loaded with A/C. stereo. leather, power windows, etc, but still only weighed around 3000 pounds

    Anyway, its my favorite

    Think it has 7 clutches in line for the awd system...with a computer controlling it all...pretty advanced for the early to mid 80's

    To the guy who said that he wanted an M3 GTR....there were only two. One is owned by the family of a high up BMW exec, and I think they lost track of the other one. If I remember correctly, it was blocked by MB from racing, so they never actually made it.

    As for me:

    Very Very Very Unlikey:
    McLaren F1.

    ^ Thats actually the LM.

    Very Very Unlikey:
    Carrera GT.


    Very Unlikey:
    1998 Supra Twin Turbo, Six Speed, Quicksilver.
    JZA80 L-AJFVZA please.

    Very rare color, only in 98.

    Unlikey:
    G35 Coupe

    Shown with Nismo front lip.

    Want:
    Desi's GSR.
    Don't want to post a pic lol, he'll think I'm gonna steal it.

    correction, in order to race it had to be available as a production car and be offered for sale on at least 2 continents within 12 months of the rules being issued. They made 10 street cars just so they could stuff the bigass V8 under the hood of a the 3-series on the track but then the ALMS still overruled them due to it still being under the amount made for a "production" car. It's all bullshit because they never said how many had to be made, just as long as it was road legal, available for sale on 2 continents, and all done within 12 months...in which they met all the criteria for.

    PS --> The 1st person who says "Skyline GTR" is gonna get slapped upside the head w/ a sack of hot doughnuts.

    MY LIST:

    1) 1991 - 1994 Nissan Sentra SER (B13)
    2) Datsun 510 Coupe
    You, my friend, are a man of great taste.

    I own two of my favorite cars. My other two favorites are Infinitis, the QX4 (which I should be getting one soon), and the new M (never will I afford one of those LIRL).

    My two cars (Yes that is a pic of MY CRX, not one that looks like it):

    Nope. I have wanted one since I was 11, and it took me years to find this one. Solid floor and trunk pans, runs like a champ, and it was cheap.

    My 510 and CRX will be mine until either they are totalled or I die.
