My Dream car... (Read 907 times)
Jun 3rd, 2004 at 1:15pm

I would choose one of this kind: 1967 Shelby GT500E Super Snake.

http://www.sandersonsales.com/images/gt500e/supersnake.htm

That´s the car from Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicolas Cage. I love it, the movie and the car. It´s just a bit tuned, to 750HP, some
N O S
...
oh yeah, and that all for 150000 $. You can get a cheaper one for 40000 $, that would be quite well, but its not so tuned...

...

...

What a dream, but i´ll first have to get 18, than get the money for the driving license, than get one, and later get a good job, get 150000$ together and than, than i´d buy it. Maybe, maybe i would have spent most of the money before, for a flying license, and later for a nice plane, no big plans, just a Reno Mustang, or maybe a DH-88 Comet, nah just a joke. But would be quite cool.

Or what about this thing, not nice but effective...

...

No one will dare to overtake you than, or if someone blocks you the way, make his car a bit more flat.

Or get yourself some parking place...

At last!  Someone with excellent taste in cars...  After all this F1 talk, I was beginning to wonder if there was any hope for the world!  For the record though, there was no GT500 'E'  The Eleanor appelation was added after that cheesy remake of Gone in 60 Seconds.  A very nice car, but a really crappy movie, imho.  There was also never a 'Super Snake'  I have no idea where you got that one.  Smiley 

Mustangs rule!

I have that car's more dignified uncle.  The Grand National was the fastest production car on the road in it's day, and just plain drop dead gorgeous.  It was one of the few bright spots in the mid-80's automotive world.  In a time when everything was pretty much crap (even the Corvettes from that era sucked) it stood out.  I have a 95 Buick Riviera w/ the same 3.8l Supercharged motor and I can take on Mustangs and Firechickens all day long....

That way i´d choose an Mitsubishi Eclipse, i´d tune it up, with NOS, and everything to make it drive faster, accelerate better, slide a bit more and so on. And than to the Outside, nice OZ-Antares rims, Gold neon pulse light, dark black window tints, some spoiler, a roof scoop, a better hood, and some new side fron and back parts. And some nice Colours, maybe a carbon hood, and a yellow/orange car...
I think that would be all i need.

But then i think a GT500 Super Snake would be cheaper...

p.s.: The super snake model is the thing with better engine and so on, the one on the photos. And the E stands for the optical tuned edition i think.

I think my dream car would be a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (there's a shock, lol) SS396.  I would want a long list of options on it though.  One would be the rare L89 396 engine option (375hp, highest output 396 plus it had aluminum heads-on 311 '69 Camaro's had the L89 engine); of course I'd probably hotrod the engine a little.  I would want it to have a Black with White racing stripe paint job, a cowl induction hood, and a factory style Delux Houndstooth interior.  Also with the interior I would want a console with the gauge cluster and the factory 8000rpm tach on the dash.  It would have a Muncie M-22 4-spd manual transmission with a 12-bolt posi rear end with 4.10 gears.  I would also want it to have factory 4 wheel disc brakes.

Since this is MY dream car, I would worry about damaging a car with this value by adding a stereo.  I would probably put the exact same modest stereo I have in my '69 Camaro into it.  I would put an Alpine MP3 deck in it, put 2 Eclipse 6x9 speakers in the back and 2 JL 3 1/2s in the front.  

Well, thats a basic rundown-just to give a general idea.   Wink Grin

guys, not everything is as easy as The Fast and the Furious... Nitrous is very dangerous, and in the end you will be disapointed because you sprayed too much and shot your pistons through the block. A good 'ol blower will get you just as much power and then some, and a motor can last much longer.

I'm with Exploder on the Heavy Metal Grin
But if I had a choice, well I'm a rally nut so any of the following;
Lancia Stratos Gp4
Audi Quattro Sport S1 (Short Wheel Base) Gp B
Peugeot 205 T16 Gp B
These three cars are just the meat!
As for American metal, well it'd have to be a Shelby Cobra, that thing rocks 8)
And if I only had one car for the rest of my life, well a Ferrari 250 GTO Grin

Ps. I'm a biker, hand over your big bad Kawasakis and Hondas here!!!!

I'm not a big fan of nitrous-I just don't like chemical horse power.  I guess I have been raised to believe that there's no replacement for displacement.  You want more hp, build a bigger engine.  Nitrous always seemed cheap to me.
