Gumball 3000, what car would you take?
 
So as im sure everyone here now knows what the Gumball is, what are your top 3 cars you would dream to take on the Gumball?

Possible cars i would consider
Mercedes-Mclaren SLR
Pagani Zonda
Enzo

TT 10-26-2003 06:21 PM

Uhm.. not easy at all...

Pagani Zonda
Ferrari Challenge Stradale
Koenigsegg CC8S

But again, impossible to name only 3, and I think I'd do it even with my 3-Series :D

Mircea 10-26-2003 07:00 PM

For me, it is quite simple to decide:

1. Koenigsegg CC8S
2. Pagani Zonda C12S
3. Ferrari Enzo

But since I don't have the money for any of the cars, I'll just stay home and watch the vids, thanks to JW.

SDK2003 10-26-2003 07:18 PM

It would have to be something reliable

Porsche 911 Turbo X50
Mercedes SL55
Audi RS6 - shame it's dull looking

ferrari550 10-26-2003 07:23 PM

For me it would be:
1. ferrari enzo
2. Mclaren F1
3. Ferrari 360 stradale

Since i will also not have enough money for anyone of these, i will try to win the gumball in my golf :D LOL

draak666 10-26-2003 07:29 PM

Alpina B10. Exclusive, fast, comfortable and reliable.

themailman34 10-26-2003 07:37 PM

Challenge Stradale for sure :D

dis3as3d 10-26-2003 08:48 PM

No doubt in my mind, Lingenfelter tuned Twin Turbo Corvette.

bembleton 10-26-2003 09:43 PM

i would have fun starting off in a Ferrari 360 Modena, get a huge lead with the Pagani Zonda C12-S 7.3 then finish the last part in utter luxury and comfort in a SL55 AMG!!

1. Ferrari 360 Modena
2. Pagani Zonda C12-S 7.3
3. SL55 AMG

SFDMALEX 10-26-2003 10:00 PM

Well Im not going to go with my favorite car because its not one of the most comrftible cars.

So for me its a Ferrari 456M, fast, comrftible and there's room in the back for a couple of chicks.

Ever wonder why nobody would have the CV8?
Cause they can all afford to come to Australia and when the did all they saw were commodors and CV8's.
But none the less it would stand out and go like hell.

i would take.

1.Zonda
2.Enzo
3.Toyota Landcruiser (not the one you have in the UK, the big Aussie one with the new V8 )/ Cayeen turbo

lambo murcielago gtr

I doubt you want to drive the GT-R! It would probabily brake down on the way...and you'd probabily spin anyways. That is a race car! Trust me, you don't want a race car like that....not for Gumball anyways!


1. Ferrari F50
2. Ferrari Enzo
3. Ferrari GTO

Special Entry: That Kim Schmitz's Brabus! That car is the boss!

Yeah it would be good fun, raunning over/ cutting off the opposition

hemi_fan 10-27-2003 07:54 PM

Id definitely want a 1000hp Mustang (Skyline/Supra eater). Ive never seen any Real street stangs, not too many around over 400hp that arent tubed and ready for the pro-stock circuit. Id like a G-Machine type 1000hp stang. if not... i dunno wut id bring. deffinitely not a hemi... too classic. Ive yet to see a Saleen S7 (anywhere) or the new Shelby Series 1... those would be my other 2 choices.

maalox 10-27-2003 11:56 PM

You need something that's fast, comfy, and relatively nimble. Also, something that won't attract the cop's attention compared to all the other flashy metal around :mrgreen:. So I'm thinking something a bit incognito like a new M5, Porsche GT3, or a Skyline.

BADMIHAI 10-28-2003 12:08 AM

...or that S series Brabus TT V12 that Kim Schmitz had :)

Wide 10-28-2003 06:30 AM

1)360 Modena
2)Nissan Skyline GtR 34
3)Koenigsegg

scubywrxr 10-28-2003 04:05 PM

I would want a car that is fast and comfortable -
my top 3 is ;

1)Mercedes SLR
2)Carrera GT
3)Brabus V12 SL - very sexy in black

Now that i think bout it ... I could win the damn Gumball in my Subaru :fist:

Chingachgook 10-29-2003 05:00 AM

Ferrari Challenge Stradale for sure
Or the Enzo
Or one of the best car in the world, the TVR T350C
Also the Noble M12 GTO would be nice, very fast and easy to drive also in the wet

sikx5 10-29-2003 09:01 AM

hmmmm.....hard choice....
1) Ferrari F50 (engine noise might put me to sleep..ahh...so nice :shock: )
2)BMW X5 4.8is....its a beast of a sav and theres room for some punnai..
3)Nissan skyline R34 nur :mrgreen:
