*cough*

Fail

I said i'd take a CGT thanks actually, then i realised that i failed at my choice as it wasnt a saloon OR a v8

Time to get off here and hit the wine i think. Not working for another 7 days yet :cool:

Would obviously have to drive them all, as I've no experience with any, but I think it'd have to be either the Merc, BMW, Jag or Audi.

To my mind, the Vauxhall and Chrysler are just fairly poor quality cars with big engines (as fun to drive as they may be) and the Lexus just wouldn't interest me personally.

Jaguar XFR *drool*

E63. Those AMG V8's are just :cool:

Think Chris Harris rather liked it too.

Why? So you can have less power than a 530d ?

Rotty · 3 Jan 2011 at 22:08

I don't think he was being serious

Blackhawk47 · 3 Jan 2011 at 22:14

I'd go with XJR...does that count?

Jonnycoupe · 3 Jan 2011 at 22:31

Jaguar XJ supersport. (x351 Lwb)

AzaV8 · 3 Jan 2011 at 23:20

Jaguar XFR and Audi RS4 ---> I know I will be called a ****, but still its an awesome car

M3 Saloon.

Or an e39 M5 as per Fox.

Witor · 4 Jan 2011 at 09:38

Another vote for the M3 saloon. My "ultimate" realistic saloon car tbh. (until the next one).

Wouldn't get anything from that list, i'd be buying a Maserati Quattroporte.

Left of centre choice. I like it

Surely you could have the Bathurst S for the same cash as the others? Id have that and change.

If not it would be the Jag for me.

What puts me off is

A) the low rent interior when compared others mentioned here

and

B) its not that fast - it has traction issues. Even with 570bhp and a supercharger, its not quicker down the 1/4 mile than the M3, let alone the C63.

C63 on the other hand, is only restricted to 450bhp by virtue of the fact the ECU restricts the maximum available throttle to about 80 % or something. Change that back to 100 % and you get the full 520bhp the engine develops in the E63. Go for a stage 2 tune with involves a full exhaust including headers and a remap and you're developing 550bhp and will pull the 1/4 mile in 11.xx seconds

300C for sure absolutely look amazing and i bet the hemis sound and go well

Interior wouldn't bother me that much, i have a 9 yeer old Honda and i think it's quite good.

Wouldn't really give a rats ass about 1/4 mile times mate, id just be drifting everywhere lol.

Im pretty sure it would smoke everything there in a drag race anyways.......

Fr0dders · 4 Jan 2011 at 16:46

It doesnt though. Thats just it. It can't get traction.

Power is nothing without control, and its something the bathurst doesnt really have.

Smokey26 · 4 Jan 2011 at 16:49

Id still have it over the German cars.
