Your ideal car

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

If you had enough money to make a hand-made car(e.g. as the Ascari creator has built it by himself), what kind of car would be the car of your dreams?..........

By using this statement id like to get what would be your ideal car if you had the chance to build it

My cars ingredients would be very simple.....a McLaren F1 feeded by the CL65 merc engine, the SLR brakes, and the car set depending on my driving stlyle

thats so hard
gunna have to sleep on it

.....a McLaren F1 feeded by the CL65 merc engine

Why would you want to do that?!?!?!? I mean, damn dude, the Mclaren F1's engine is more powerful and a hell of a lot lighter than the CL65's....The only real impressive thing about the Merc's engine is its torque figure....but then....you can only use so much torque in a car that light...isn't 479lb-ft enough?!

I think if I had the money to put a car together myself, it would in essence just be a Mclaren F1 with Carbon composite disks as used in the Enzo or perhaps the Ceramics of the Carrera GT, and some minor modificactions in pursuit of high-speed stability and downforce....that's it. The F1 is pretty much the perfect car.

How about a Macca F1 with an extra 500hp and 100 less kg..

[hemi_fan]

I'd build a 1200hp ish Big-Block muscle car, lower it, put on some nice rims + low profile tires, full racing suspension, redo the interior, decent system, but not too good (save weight), restore the outside to look mostly stock, and then go pick on a bunch of street racing kids, or at the drag strip. lol

Well if you get the LM version, you're 1/2 way there...it weighs in about 100kg less and has 636bhp instead of 627...I guess you'd have to turbocharge or supercharge to get more out of it.

[budagboy2]

the lm actually has 680bhp

[Vansquish]

That would be the XJ220S...the LM version of the Mclaren F1 in race spec only had 636 due to air restrictors. The LM roadcar of which only 5 were produced had 668 bhp, not 680.

[budagboy2]

all say 680

Perhaps a Twin Turbo setup, to give you an even 1000hp/1200lb .. with a 350hp shot of nawz to keep you competitive with them Skylines you might meet up at the stoplight...

Hmm...I'm thinking...mid-engine car, with roughly 6 liters of German built DOHC V12, a 6 speed manual transmission, rear wheel drive, no electronic nannies, timeless styling, and everything that can be made out of carbon fibre made out of carbon fibre...oh wait, I think someone already built that car .

Seriously though,
1) 1000kg
2) 4-5 liter N/A DOHC V12
3) 6 speed manual
4) rear wheel drive
5) no traction control
6) on/off ABS
7) active aerodynamics, lots of downforce, no wings
8 ) carbon-ceramic brakes
9) no power steering
10) variable exhaust, loud when you want it loud, quiet when you want it quiet

aww jeez, that's still basically an F1...just with a smaller engine and a little less weight

[Ziploc]

me?

a simple and wegde shaped coupte/slantback

small high revving 4-5 cyl RWD

6 speeds

a modern AE86 trueno if you will

[sikx5]

hmmmmm....
the looks and handeling of a ferrari f50, the engine of a ferrari f50 and pretty much just a ferrari f50
