I'd love to test drive that one and the Honda S2000 - just to compare them :D

S2000 seems more of a feminine car to me.

Also, the supra would shit on the S2000 in a race.

If I could choose... Any car in the world... I'd take this...

(click to show/hide)

...no Camaro, no Camino, no Corvette, Mustang, Cheville or Ford F40 (I'm kinda disappointed nobody mentioned the F40 yet).
You wouldn't even consider Bugatti Veyron? That's what I would choose :D. Ford F40 is epic...

If I had to choose some reasonably priced sports car, I would go for Mazda MX-5 (with removable hard top) because I'm such a sucker for Mazdas. That car I could possibly own sometime because it isn't THAT expensive to buy and maintain. RX-8 would be nice too but the Wankel engine is expensive to maintain... Just throw massive amounts of parts at it and pour oil in all the time to keep it running right :F

fact i didn't know until about a year ago.. The Bugatti Veyron is made by VolksWagen!

If i could have any car (something i could actually buy in my life, about $100,000)
it would be the Nissan GTR r35

Well I really like the looks of the IROC-Z personally and I just realised there is a GTA equivalent of it (the ruiner)
Yeah, like I said it's just my personal opinion that the 60's and 70's cars look better than anything else. It's just so rare to find an 80's car that is on the same level of awesomeness. So sharp edges everywhere...

Ferrari Testarossa is the only 80's car that I can think of looking cool but some people say it's ugly :lol:

If I could choose any car,  I would probably go for gullwings concept of the mercedes c111, the ciento once.  since my childyears i loved that car,  and seeing a modernday prototype makes me all jizzy.

edit:   I revize that.  liked tho old one better,  but it was crappy.  so whatever.

Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

For me it wouldn't be about the speed but more about the sensation of the RPM. If I'm not mistaken, both cars rev easy like a motorbike :D

I have a dog,  surfboards,  mountainbikes and skis to transport,  not to forget always having a bed with you is great : )

Now a top tip if you want cheap 4wd car for some rally fun: Daihatsu Applause.

(click to show/hide)

Sounds lame I know but there's more to it than just the name. It's light weight 1,6l four cylinder. Again might not sound much but it develops 105hp and 134 Nm @ 4800 r/min and that in a light car is pretty decent.

I think that car would be perfect platform to build a cheap rally car for some serious fun during winter and why not in the summer too. I'm sure you can tickle more power out of that engine with modifications. Then update the suspension, brakes and tires. Take away back seats and put light weight seats to the front. Add roll cage and it's ready to go ;).

I have a dog,  surfboards,  mountainbikes and skis to transport,  not to forget always having a bed with you is great : )

Okay... Understandable if you want a dog cage in the car :P. I'm just angry at all the finns buying Mazda 6 Sportswagons because the sedan would do just fine for most of them and the Sportswagon is ugly abomination that almost spoils the 6 series. My uncle has one because he has a dog too, but I find it hard to forgive him for buying that car :D. There's not enough used sedan 6's in the market to have enough options when the time comes for me to update my car :(.

hihi, i like the looks of most stationwagons more then their sedan counterparts.  find saloons/sedans obsolete, peh.
either get a real sportscar or a car you can do shit with,  why some wannabe hybrid.

maybe im biased tho cause of german autobahns.  the doers all have stationswagons,  and the way they drive and teamplay @200km/h on the autobahn is great and a fun thing to be part of : )

Station wagons have some drawbacks. Weight is one. Secondly, aerodynamics. They both have an effect on fuel efficiency. Back window gets always dirty of mud or snow. The boot starts leaking and creates draft inside the cabin when the car gets older, which is unpleasant. The chassis doesn't feel as stiff as it does in sedan because the bodywork doesn't support the structure as much.

Station wagons are the wannabes because they are almost always based on the sedan version, not vice versa. So the sedan is the car that was actually designed to do what it does. SW = compromised sedan to have more boot space.

Apply water to the burned area :wink:

I'm sure aerodynamics is much more important than utility to the average car owner.
