Top 10 cars
 
I was watching the newest Top Gear and Jeremy mentioned something about a top 10 list of cars. It got me thinking and I wanted to see what others top 10 cars are. Screw availability, price and practicality...you can have whatever you want for whatever reason and you dont have to explain why unless you want too.

Heres mine (in no particular order):

1. Either a Brabus or Renntech V12 E class.
2. Ferrari F50
3. '93 GMC Typhoon
4. Hummer H1 with .50 cal machine gun on top, otherwise there would be no point in having a Hummer
5. '67 Shelby Cobra with a Chevy ZL-1 aluminum 427...me no likey Ford!
6. Old school Mini with a turbo Hayabusa engine in front and back.
7. Bugatti 16/4...4 turbos!!!
8. '63 split window Vette with new model ZO6 engine, suspension and brakes
9. '98 Diablo GT orange and black
10. And of course my '63 NovaSS transformed into a full strip car with a blown big block Hemi...I will accept 8 sec. or less! No exceptions!

Man that list went away quick. I think im going to have to sleep on it and perhaps edit it later. No point in adding more slots cause I would just keep adding them.

Whats in your ideal garage?

gis 06-09-2003 08:21 AM

this is tough,i may have to edit it later aswell but for now,includin,run around town cars to supercars they would be


1. new mini cooper s
2. vw r32
3. lancer evo 8
4. mkiv toyota supra turbo (its just a car i wanted for past few years and i aint gonna settle to i have owned one :) )

5. nissan skyline r34
6. ford mustang svt cobra r
7. lambourghini diablo 6.0
8. dodge viper srt-10
9. ferrari enzo
10. pagani zonda

that was tough,i thought that wud be pretty easy but when thought bout it,it was hard

gis 06-09-2003 08:25 AM

by the way,there is a mini in the uk that has a hayabusa engine in it,but not in the bak,just the front and its insanely quick

stracing 06-09-2003 09:58 AM

1. S15
2. R34 GTR
3. Pagani Zonda
4. BMW M3
5. Ferrari Enzo
6. McLaren F1
7. Ferrari 360
8. Maserati Spyder GT
9. Lamborghini Mucielago
10. MB S55 AMG


this is all based on looks, performance, luxury on paper. they are in order and the reason why s15 is on top is because its what i currently drive. also i just went thru the latest car mag. couldn't be bothered finding old cars

here's mine, as well in no special order:

1. 1969 Yenko Camaro 427 (too bad they had to have that fake one in 2Fake 2Foney, although the movie wasn't as bad as i expected)
2. McLaren F1
3. Lamborghini Diablo SV or the 6.0
4. Ferrari Enzo (in a recent north american magazine, it tested faster than a mclaren f1 to 60, 100, and just about everything else, spectacular car)
5. Ferrari 355 or 360 (and in no way did that picture in the corner of the screen influence my decision :wink: )
6. Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (sure it's not a car, but whoa is it fast and gorgeous looking)
7. Mercedes SL55 AMG (yes, i know it's a hairdressers car, but jeremy has one and it's so damn fast)
8. Porsche 911 turbo (993 is still my favorite)
9. BMW M5 (i've always wanted one, and still do, even tho that new E55 mercedes is quite faster, but the new M5 should top that i'm sure)
10. damnit, only 10 cars.. ok, i'll have to go with a Corvette Z06 just because it's sounds so loud

actually i do like the car.. i was just joking around a little.. my friend was going to buy one back in high school a couple of years ago, but the guy never sold the car.. it's definetly the "standout" porsche for me, as it has no resemblance to any other porsche

666fast 06-09-2003 08:15 PM

That is one of the reasons of why I like it. No other Porsche looks anything like it.

No, its just something I want to put together some day. As soon as I get $30,000 and all the time in the world to work on it.

Flawless 06-11-2003 10:09 PM

i cant beleave no one said a Civic :shock:

666fast 06-11-2003 10:48 PM

I wish I still had the video of it, but it was an old Mini with AWD. It spanked a Diablo in a drag race, the thing was faster than shit. It hit the half way mark before the Diablo got a quarter of the way down the track.

datzun 06-12-2003 12:24 AM

hmmm....

2. Lotus Espirit (V8TT of course :))

10 isnt enough...I know I missed some in there...

novass 06-12-2003 02:29 AM

10 is definitely not enough, but if i added 5 more i would have just kept adding till i had every nice car ever made LOL

ive been lookin at the old mini for a while now and i want to make it real fast but most of the old minis nearby are already restored...i dont want to pay more money then have to take all that shit off, but one of these days i tell you....

Thats the problem here. I have only seen one old style Mini Cooper for sale. It was about half restored not even done and the guy wanted like $8,000 for it! I also have a magazine with an article about coarse racing. It was like 10 events long and there was a Mini in it. It was pretty good at the coarse racing and dominated the drag event. The magazines car was a Mercedes S600 w/ the Twin Turbo V12. Yeah the mini beat it in a drag race.

1zippo1 06-12-2003 02:17 PM

I've just bought a very interesting car magazine today. They review the Audi S4, Clio V6 and do a comparison between the Murciélago & Pagani C12S. But there's also a Top 100 car's from wich I will mention the first 10.

1. BMW M3: for: allround capacities
a gainst: how can they do better next time
2. Porsche 911: for: German perfection
against: To popular (not really exotic anymore)
3. Mini Cooper S: for: a lot of fun
against: there will be a 200hp version soon
4. Audi RS6: for: a luxery sedan with 450hp
against: a lot of taxes
5. SL55AMG: for: a cruiser and a sportscar in one
against: SL55AMG or SL600?
6. Focus RS: for: sticks to the road
against: one colour
7. Ferrari Enzo: for: incredibly fast
against: also incredibly expensive
8. Murciélago: for: allready a ledgend
against: find a garage large enough for this baby
9. Impreza STI: for: as close to a rallycar as you can get
against: has a spoiler from a Cessna
10. VW touaregV10TDI: for: great on and offroad capacities
against: consumes more then your average sportscar

HoboPie 06-12-2003 02:57 PM

1. 360 Stradale in Blue
2. Enzo in Black
3. Pagani Zonda
4. Skyline GTR R34
5. RX-7 3rd Gen RS or Spirit R
6. F50 in metallic silver
7. 911 Turbo (996)
8. BMW M3
9. Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage
10. Diablo(With pop up headlights)

Jabba 06-12-2003 04:58 PM

I could live with that last list...except for the aston martin....I would sell that... and get something better looking...a Lada....

1zippo1 06-12-2003 05:27 PM

hahahaha, lol :lol: . I don't like the looks of the Aston Martin Vantage, but I still got respect for what it is (550hp was a lot). And a lada, to be honest my mom used to have on. If we had to pass a tractor, we had to wait till we went downhill, and if she pushed the gass pedal down the whole car started shaking :lol: If we didn't go fast enough she would let me step out and push :wink: no not really :P , but old lada's were crap.

NO I am serious. A civic is a great econ car and is also graet to look at. Before a civic econ cars were cheap, and horrible boxes. a Civic si with 700hp, with a supra engine? I am so positive that is not made for the general public. 700hp in a car as light as a civic, stock? I find that hard to beleave.

XyKo 06-15-2003 02:07 AM

All I have to say is Ferrari 355 is only the top 10 list.

And here are the top 10 for cheap cars:

1. BMW M3
2. Benz C32
3. Nissan 350z
4. Subaru STI
5. Mitsu Evo8
6. Toyota Supra

Can't figure out the rest.
7.
8.
9.
10.

1zippo1 06-15-2003 07:51 AM

I wouldn't exaclty categorise an M3 as cheap ... Price-performance wise it rocks but it still isn't cheap.

volvoman 06-15-2003 08:04 AM

since i do not wish to choose between the first 4, i'll call it a draw.
(they are a mile ahead of the others)

1// aston martin db7 gt
1// aston martin db7 vantage
1// aston martin db7 vantage volante (i like to mention it seperately)
1// aston martin v12 vanquish
5// lamborghini murcielago
6// bentley arnage t
7// ferrari 360 modena
8// volvo s60r / v70 r (new model for the latter)
9// volvo s80 t6 (new model)
10// jaguar xjr (new model)

it doesn't always need to be sportscars all over the place for me.

gis 06-15-2003 08:16 AM

man thats a lotta astons :lol:

Jabba 06-15-2003 08:17 AM

volvoman, it was supposed to be a top 10 of the greatest cars...not a top ten of the ugliest....ahh I got it...your list was supposed to be a joke...I will move it over to jokes and humor.... :lol:

This is a sweet list--very nicely balanced. Btw Zippo, I think he meant the new concept AMV8, not the ancient brick-like one.

1zippo1 06-15-2003 12:51 PM

Ok, that's a different car then the one I had in mind. The one you mean looks much better, I must say.

Yeah it's gorgeous, although I still prefer the slightly more muscular looks of the Vanquish myself. This one's a bit too overdone looking for me.

volvoman 06-16-2003 02:02 PM

mr jabba

i am insulted, offended, my heart aches, my head allmost fell off, ... :wink:

i sure hope you were making a joke yourself.
name me one reason why the db7 vantage isn't the most beautiful car there is on earth. and please spare yourself the typing of any italian name :wink:
in case you want proof, i have around 800 pictures of my top 4 cars.
guess i am a bit freaky then...

ave volvoman

ps i forgot to mention the maserati coupe / spyder in my top list, somewhere around the 8th place or so

I wont name one I will name a few...

Old, Boring, Uncharismatic, Dull and Plain....

Just check out the "King" tiff needell review...and you will see why these are such poor handling cars....honestly they often pass me and no one in the car even notices them...until I point out that an £80,000 car has just gone past...and everyone is like....where ??? and I am like....exactly....they just dont look special..

Maybe I will see them differently when I am 70....especaily as Aston Martins are supplied with a pipe and slippers at my local dealership...


oh and sorry but aston martin avatars are reserved for spammers and post whores...so I have had to change it for now....hope you understand....not many rules on here...but thats one of them....
