Top 3 dream cars: Race/Luxury/Cruise
|

Prolly been done before, but given an infinite budget, here are my 3.
Race:
Ferrari Enzo in red: http://www.supercars.net/cars/2002@$Ferrari@$Enzox .html
Some may argue, such and such a car is faster down the quater, slightly higher top speed e.t.c, but racing isn't all about straight line acceleration. From what I've read in many car magazines this thing outhandles, outbrakes and out speeds just about everything ever made. If there is something faster in all aspects, it doesn't carry the Ferrari badge and i.m.o doesn't look as good. I first thought it looked fairly ugly till I saw a video with it, it looks sensational in motion.
Luxury:
Maybach 62 in black:
http://www.supercars.net/cars/2003@$Maybach@$62x.h tml
I've read a few reviews for this, in one review the reviewer was travelling at 200kmh and could hardly tell the car was moving if he closed his eyes, it was that quiet and sure on the road.
Cruise:
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Zagato Roadster in silver:
http://www.supercars.net/cars/2004@$Aston%20Martin @$V12%20Vanquish%20Zagato%20Roadsterx.html
Prolly not in blue. I've seen a few Astons and in life their dimensions are really imposing and impressive. The sound of the V12 would be awesome and it looks very masculine compared to most of the bubble cars on the road today.

Have they finished fixing those things yet? They've delayed ther release date so many times now due to safety concerns. Didn't it start to lose control at high speeds?

Well, since price is not an issue...
Race: I'd build it from the ground up. Probably start with a nice low/wide chassis like a 300zx. Completely bare-metal gut it and go full weight-nazi on it. Replace every rivet and bolt with lightweight titanium alloy ones, remove all door locks, excess metal, etc. Fill it with something like r34 GTR running gear, and replace every panel with carbon fibre - including the dash. Single shell-mount ricaro and steering wheel inside. Maybe a fuel-cell and data logging stuff. Get the car down to about 1100 kilo's wet weight, and have it tuned for about 350rwkw and uber-torque.
Luxury: Mayback 62 [EDIT] Just saw that other pople have also put this car down, so for the sake of being original, I'll have to change this to:
An oldschool double-decker bus - gutted, filled with leather and fish-tanks. Full service bar (with bartender) upstairs. Along with a grand piano and a flunky to play old tunes, and a few comfgy leather couches. Downstairs will be a Spa/sauna, more leather couches and a full 160cm plasma with all the surround goodies, satelite TV and DVD player. And the usual assortment of gaming consols.
Cruise: A pimped out Toyota Century or a pimped out Torana with the roof cut off and the doors welded shut.

Race:
Stripped back and lighweighted Red JZA80 Supra with Castrol Tom's style bodykit and 400hp or so 2JZ-GTE. Either that or a McLauren F1.
Luxury:
How can I beat joorsh?!! Umm... No I don't think I can. I want a double decker bus too!
Cruise:
Black or Silver JZA80 (can you tell I like 'em?) with leather interior & heated seats, Veilside kit, decent exhaust for a nice note and adjustable stiffness suspension from inside the cabin (similar to TEMS) + adjustable hight to plant it on it's arse. Aero top model for sure and probably scissor doors just for a bit of wanky fun.
Daily: <-- ya forgot this.
Altezza with the 3S-GE Beams engine.

Race: APU (Advanced Performance Upgrades) JZA80 Supra (1200hp)
Luxury: Not sure yet
Cruise: JZA80 Supra RZ
By the way, if you get a Supra in America: it costs US$1,300 to get a BPU kit which gives 400-500bhp.
750bhp costs you around US$10,000 approx.
