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?

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

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

i wonder if the owner will turbo charge it?

gis · 06-09-2003, 10:05 AM

if only you hadn't of thrown that shut up in there..
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

)
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

novass · 06-09-2003, 07:25 PM

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.
