Fast cars

[Guest]

Fast cars are cool. Always have been, always will be. There's an attraction to controlling a powerful machine...

What cool/fast cars have you owned or driven?

What's your dream fast car?

I had a 64 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. Not the fastest, but a load of fun and great looking as well. $2,533 new.

2006 SLR McLaren.

Top speed 208 mph. 0-60 in under 3.8 seconds. 0-186 in 20.4. The SLR McLaren is a milestone automotive achievement, as much for its staggering power and performance as its Formula 1 inspired engineering and design.

"To be sure, the Greatest Car in the World has to be fast, but it should also be able to function as a car. The promise of the SLR is that it is the complete package."

BMW 2002

Porsche 914

and a slew of really fun motorcycles.

Get a good light dirtbike with a two-cycle engine, get in the woods, and nail the throttle, amazing how fast 25 mph seems when you're dodging trees and trying to hang on as the tires slip and spin. The power to weight ratio is quite impressive leading to wicked acceleration. Plus, its legal!!!!

I have always liked a silver Corvette- I just think it's a super sexy car and it fits my personality

I also like a Lotus- have liked those since I saw one in Basic Instinct

My love of cars is second only to my love of men.

The coolest car I ever owned had to be my 1978 Fiat X19. I was restoring it and making several improvements on it... but then I got married and moved and it rusted to a heap at my dad's shop. *sob*

Maybe if I drove on the autobahn more often...
Around here though, that car would just cost me big bucks in speeding tickets. My route to work seems to be crawling with radar traps lately. I've been lucky so far keeping it at 10 mph over the limit. They let me through.

And its $500,000 cheaper than the original. But I'd still rather own the original.

Yeah yeah, but what would you like to drive then? You travel a lot and log some miles...

Umm... I like red cars...

While I love that, I think the SLR is more functional. I'll look up some details on it and post them later.

g-man, post what your cars are - I can't tell from the pics

I have no idea. Whatever rental car I could get that would keep up and not get me killed by all the BMW's on the autobahn wizzing past me.

My favourite is the Ferrari 250 GTO...

but since they are SO rare, I'll "settle" for this one:

THIS is the most sweet-sounding engine I have ever listened to from the cockpit... and I was a PASSENGER, damnit!

I got to drive this little beauty this week. The SLK55 AMG. Wow. They cram a 370 HP 5.5L V-8 in there somehow. 0-60 in 4.8. But this car is fun to drive slow.

My son's g/f's dad has this one in brilliant silver:

Now we've found a topic that I like!

I want this baby. It looks badass, it sounds badass. And I would look damned good driving it.

If I can't have that, I will settle for this.

You can keep your new model aerodynamic crap. I'll stick with the tried and true ones.

 

[Jimi]

Yeah....

but the new ones actually HANDLE! No more cornering on the doorhandles like a frikkin' Lincoln!
