If you could only have *ONE* CAR......

[Gorilla Eg!]

this is a thread ive wanted to start for a good while.... I will start it off and follow my lead, you may choose *ANY ( 1 )* car that you wish, whether it be $200 or 10 million... *CAUTION* this is your one and ONLY car, you will be driving it every day....CHOOSE WISELY....**** PLEASE BE DESCRIPTIVE AND EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS YOUR CHOICE***....dont just say I want a farrari enzo bec its fast or pretty....and dont bash people for thier choices....lets keep this clean and *ADULT* ....ENJOY!



MY CHOICE : Lamborghini Gallardo LP56O-4 *coupe* ( 6 spd manual )

WHY? : To me this car embodies everything I have always wanted, and would always want in a car....it is simply put, the most beautiful body design that I have ever laid my eves on, the power is perfect in my book, not overkill /JUST ENOUGH, the sound gives me chills up my damn spine every time I hear it, AND BEST OF ALL its 4wd and you can drive it anywhere in ANY weather, this is a *pure* drivers car in my book....

Color: Ithaca Verde (Lemon-lime color changing)....mmmmm I love this color

Interior: *ALL* Black with green stitching on the seats, steering wheel, dash, shift boot, etc.....clean and tasteful

Wheels: factory *upgraded* wheels....its a lambo, why mess with awesome wheels?

Exhaust: Kressieg Exhaust, normally I wouldnt mess with this, but this exhaust makes the best sound better for some reason....

[Gorilla Eg!]

whos next? lets hear your *ONE* car and why!

[allout13]

1988-91 Honda CRX si
Barbados yellow
completely stock



why?
-I wouldn't be able to afford insurance on a Saleen S7.
-I would get hella good gas mileage.
-It will only go up in value.
-I never see any unmolested crx's let alone one that is yellow.





of course if we are throwing out the idea of the car being something that I actually COULD own...

2006 Saleen S7 TT w/ the competition package!
The car would be painted black with a purple flake!
White leather interior
White SSR Professor SP3 wheels



In my opinion this is the most beautiful car ever produced.
rumors of a 270mph top speed turn me on
1000hp is more than enough to keep me satisfied for awhile
They are somewhat rare

[Gorilla Eg!]

nice description on the crx, but none on the s7?.....and I "think" that might just be 2 cars?

[oneSLOWex]

Why? Because I love everything about the car and the way it looks is just SICK to me. I have loved these since that episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson drove the black one.

Oh yeah....Gotta be THAT color too.

[Gorilla Eg!]

did u see when "captain slow" drove the veyron?.....lucky bastards.....

[oneSLOWex]

did u see when "captain slow" drove the veyron?.....lucky bastards.....

I hate them even more every episode I see....they are some lucky SOBs

[Gorilla Eg!]

I hate them even more every episode I see....they are some lucky SOBs

too tru, and somehow I knew someone was gonna pick the veyron right off the batt lol.... not hatin bill, just knew it was comin...

[allout13]

There is a small description on the S7.

and I felt it necessary to post two cars because there is no chance in hell I could drive the S7 down to SPSU everyday. It makes no sense as a college student to own one.
So the crx is my choice for my ONE car in my current circumstances.
The S7 is my choice for my ONE car if I win the Lottery tomorrow. lol

[5speed]

Good thread. I am not sure what gets my vote yet.

[oneSLOWex]

couldnt help myself....with that much win you cant help but love it

[nreggie454]

Porsche 911 GT1.

[03RCode]

Pagani Zonda C12 F Roadster

Just always thought they where one of the most beautiful cars ever produced, plenty of power for me, hella rare, and tons of fun to drive.

[OnURleft]

one car implies no DD's...

1. Aston Martin Vantage V12
2. Ferrari Scuderia 16M
3. Porsche GT3 Mk3 10'

it's a toss up but i'd have to settle for what was the most addictive to drive, probably the Aston

Color : British Racing Green
Wheels : IForged o ADV1
Accessories: Larini exhaust, slight drop, lip

Like this, but V12

[HypnoToad]

Noble M600

I've loved Nobles for long time now and this is thier newest.

[oneSLOWex]

this thread already makes me want to go FAP...just letting everyone know.

[VTECking]

Porsche Cayman S

Reasons: Cheap "for a Porsche", pratical, and damn fun!!!

[SeePlusPlus]

My choice would be a Canepa 959. The 959 is my favorite model Porsche. Stock the car already had some pretty scorching specs for a late 80's car, and with the modifications from Canepa, the car turned into a 600hp beast capable of throwing down some serious lap times. Such a beautiful car all around, and the rarity keeps it as one of the most desirable Porsches.

[Ricer]

my pick.. Audi RS6 Avant in white

Quattro.. Twin turbo v10

All it needs are a few boltons.. mild suspension upgrades.. a mild tune.. and the same RS4 6 speed swap that MTM did.. and i'm set for an all around daily driver/track car :

In tuned form it can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds and top out over 200MPH.. all while hauling a load of crap in the back

The Vantage was gonna be my pick but I have something better. Sure there are better cars than what I about to present but this thing has my eyes set on it. You never said it had to be a street car. I can ride a bicycle as a DD.

Honda HSV-010 GT

It is a perfect car. It has the power, performance, and looks built to be pushed to the limit. Even better, it still has room to for customization in the aesthetics department. It would be a great platform to create your own look. Not to mention, look at the fitment on that damn thing.

Engine: HR10EG V8
Numbers: 496HP/289TQ
Weight: 2425


EDIT: For some reason my pics wont load even though they aren't too big. So here is a link for now.

[Gorilla Eg!]

Im honestly surprised we havent seen any muscle cars yet!

Pretty sure you are taking this thread way to serious.

if you can have any car in the world then you can obviously not worry about any of your concerns. did i really just have to explain that lol


im thinking of what mine would be...

lol he was being realistic, which in here you dont have to be, but please let EVERYONE have their choice! thanks!

[darkshadow]

1.i just love the car since i started toying with it in forza
2. the look of the car is great theres just about nothing i would change
3. theres something with this car that just makes me wanna take this thing so much furter performance wise and frab my own twincharged kit for this beast
3. its just dammmm sexxy

crappy pic other ones didnt wanna work with me

[darkshadow]

just needed one more pic for it : )

[Gorilla Eg!]

are the renveton's even available yet?

[Nerdsrock22]

NSX-R GT

I love Honda's, and this is as good as they get.

The NSX just seems like the perfect car to own to own for me. You get supercar looks and exclusivity, but also the accessibility, reliability, and aesthetics of the Honda/Acura brand. I know that there are faster cars, and better handling cars, but frankly I don't really care.

Why the R GT? Because it's the rarest and was absurdly expensive for what it was. And I love that.

[Gorilla Eg!]

NSX-R GT

GREAT car, needs a little more thought into why this is your choice, again great car and choice tho....thanks!

[darkshadow]

Def love the nsx
and with the lambo idk i ve seen a few videos of some folks getting one is a big ass wood box and unpackin them i guess so

[EJ25RUN]

I can't stress how ridiculous it is that i can't find any of my old posts. I had entire write ups that i can't locate anymore. This new format is horrible.

I googled this and found it. How bad is that?

Its my favorite of the converts. I've followed it on every occasion it has gone to auction in the past decade.



Here is the Race History

http://www.racingsportscars.com/chas...1GTR-027R.html

Here is the exact history.

http://www.racecar.com/carsinternati...larenf1gtr.htm

McLaren F1 GTR Chassis Number 27R

McLaren F1 GTR, chassis number 27R was built for David Morrison, owner of Parabolica Motorsport at the end of 1996 for the 1997 FIA GT Series. It was the last customer car sold of six for the 1997 season, three Gulf cars, two Schnitzer cars and 27R, the Parabolica car. The team planned to compete in the British GT Championship in 1997 and at the first round at Silverstone the team was totally dominant. Drivers Chris Goodwin and Gary Ayles destroyed the whole field, winning by over a lap. McLaren F1 GTR, chassis 27R becoming the first long tail car to win a race in history.

Parabolica’s victory was so easy that the team changed its plans immediately and entered the FIA GT Championship instead. The first race was again at Silverstone and again Goodwin and Ayles were dominant in 27R. At half distance the pair were leading the race but luck was not on their side. Just after their last pitstop with other front runners still out, the race was red flagged, dropping 27R to sixth place and robbing them of a certain podium and probable victory. 27R was the only privateer car to lead a race during the 1997 season. Chris Goodwin considers McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail, chassis 27R to be the most striking liveried F1s of all time - in all its guises. The black and pink colours that Team Lark ran the car in at the 1997 Le Mans 24 Hours, the yellow and blue Warsteiner colours it ran in that year’s FIA GT Championship and finally, and most strikingly the livery in which it remains to this day – the Verve Cliquot, McLaren Papaya Orange.

McLaren F1 GTR 27R is ready to be entered in some of the most important events around the world. The car has been a regular at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and would make an important addition to any collection. The car would be a race winner in the right hands in the GT 90 Championship. McLaren F1 GTR 27R comes complete with a comprehensive spares package which includes assorted bodywork, various gear ratios and transmission parts, driveshafts, axles and other drive train spares. Dampers, wishbones, springs, rockers, struts and anti roll bars. Brake callipers, discs, mounting bells and pads, and various engine spares including cam cover, flywheel damper and con rods. To this day there is nothing to match the sophistication of the McLaren F1 – It is the ultimate modern supercar. Just one hundred cars were built and of these only twenty-eight were F1 GTRs.

When ‘Octane’ magazine asked 50 ‘players’ in the historic car world what was their all time favourite car, the McLaren F1 was practically the default choice. Octane’s January 2009 edition has the headline on the cover, “£2.5 million McLaren F1 Is this the new 250 GTO?” Their editorial states, “…it was left to the showroom-fresh McLaren F1 to astonish everyone by doubling its pre-sale estimate with a final bid of £2,530,000. ‘The new Ferrari GTO’ was the buzz around the room.”

A McLaren F1 is a very rare car to come to market – the few owners lucky enough to have one of these iconic supercars cherish them too much. Recent market trends prove that McLaren F1, 27R is not only an important and historically significant racing car, being the first Long Tail GTR to win a race, but that it is also a blue chip investment.

Chris Goodwin, McLaren Automotive’s Chief Test Driver said of this car. “I have driven most of McLaren’s Formula 1 cars and all the road cars and 27R still ranks alongside Senna’s 93 F1 car as the best car I have ever driven.”

I love that you can pin it down to one specific car, though I would expect nothing less.

[Elbow]

I think I'd have to go with the Panoz GTR-1 road car. It's been my favorite for a long time, it's extremely rare, Panoz is what got me deeply interested in sports cars, the car is strange and beautiful, I could go on.

That is so fucking ugly. Out of all people, you like this? lol I didn't see that coming. I have looked at a lot of Panoz street cars and their interiors are cheap as shit. Just like Corvettes with their Cavalier interiors.
