Re: Your dream car?
I definitely second the Morgan Aero Supersports.........
Saw that on Top Gear and it's quite a beast and very classy looking, much like a car we all fancy!

Not the fastest thing on four wheels by any means, but the V-8 note is sonorous and the interiors are simply over the top. To date, I have never seen one in person. I have, on the other hand, seen pretty much everything made by the Italians and the Germans, and while their cars are all gorgeous and fast, they don't move me like the Spyker does. Plus, you can order your Spyker tailor-made in any color configuration you desire.

I play this little scenario out in my head all the time though and can never make up my mind. Heck, I can't even narrow down a 10 car dream garage, let alone a single ride.

Re: Your dream car?
Gentlemen, all well deserved picks for a dream car to be sure. But, thinking of the future and a little green, how about this...

Sorry, can't seem to put in the actual photo..
"295 lbs-ft of torque and 288 horsepower are produced as the car smoothly accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds." And barely a whisper of motor noise as you scream away

Re: Your dream car?
When I was 10 years old, my dream car was a 1961 Jaguar XKE coupe.
When I was 11 years old, my dream car was a 1962 Ferrari GTO.
When I was 12 years old, my dream car was a 1963 Corvette Split window.
When I was 13 years old, my dream car was a 289 Crobra.
It's funny, but even after almost 50 years, those 4 cars are still my all time favorites.
As I got older, my "Dream car" became more practical, if not less tempermental.
In the spring of 1966 (when I was 15 years old) I fell hard for the AMX Concept car, and as luck would have it, I was able to purchase my Dream car 4 years later.
Flash forward to 1995 and Dodge brings out the Viper GTS Concept, and once again I was hooked. 5 years later I was able to make my dream come true.
Then along came the Crossfire and all bets were off. Since it showed up I've had no real intrest in any other 4 wheel conveyance.
With that being said, I guess if I had to pick a new "Dream" car it would probably be a Ford GT. But if I was ever in a position to own one, I probably wouldn't drive it.
So make my new Dream car a BMW Z8. Now that I would drive.

Re: Your dream car?
With unlimited money, who knows, probably the McLearn F1, but my favorite has always been the Lotus Europa. I'm sure it falls apart all the time, but I like it.

Re: Your dream car?
its my avatar. i like the spyker a lot, but the veyron hermes edition runs a very close second to the mclaren (which would blow the spyker quite a bit away).

Re: Your dream car?
The Viper is my favorite realistic car but if money is not a concern something in the realm of a Ultimate Aero, Pagoni Zonda, or a Veyron would do the trick. Rented a Viper with my dad a couple years ago. That will be my next car.

Now I'm looking to upgrade to either an ACR or the 2013 model.

Re: Your dream car?
My 2nd favorite car/reason I got into liking cars, was the Nissan Skyline GTR R34. Im not sure why cause its not crazy fast or anything but I just have always liked them. My absolute favorite if money was no option would be the Saleen S7. Of course the GTR is more out of reach than the S7 now that you cannot have one in the states period for on road use.

SRT6 with coilovers, 55 AMG conversion, the biggest darn brakes possible, full cage, racing seats, 5 point harness, custom dyno tune, ect... All for the purpose of playing with Vettes and Vipers and confusing the heck out of their owners. That would be my dream car.

.... I read a article about 3 in LA that got crushed when they were spotted by law enforcement that knew what they were.
