Toss up between that and the Veyron. I'd probably have the 100EX for the sleeper factor and the bigger engine - 9.0L V16. Bolt on a couple of monster turbos and a supercharger and I reckon you'd be looking at well over 1000HP

Shame the aerodynamics are that of a house! :cool:

I'll have one in 3 years, I've promised it to myself. Anyone got a time machine?

This is were you'll laugh.... but they are surprisingly good! Drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.38 and a frontal area of 2.8 m^2. The Veyron has a Cd of 0.36, although no idea what the frontal area is. The Roller would still be good for well over 200 though :cool:

I stand corrected

Everytime this thread comes around have to find picture of the same car

Porsche 911 GT1

absolutely awesome race bred road car with amazing exclusivity and looks to die for. stunning machine.

Couldn't find a picture from the back (Which is where it looks best) so I got this instead..

A thing of beauty tbh

and I agree with the OP, old 3-Series BMWs are the bees knees.

Your dream car is a Mondeo?

I hope you're joking...either that or you're very boring, sorry.

Given that he used to have a 120d Sport and now lives in the States do you not think that perhaps, just perhaps... he might be joking?

I know I keep banging on about it, but this is where its at:-

I'm having one next year for a runabout, if I can persuade the missus that its a good classic investment. :cool:

I actually saw one yesterday, it went flying past in the outside lane of the M27.

'Whats that idiot doing in that ratty old banger of a Vauxhall' I thought, until I saw the badge on the back which restored my respect for him but still made me think...

Awesome m8.

Years ago when I had the 24v GSi3000 Carlton, I was sat parked outside my local Post Office when a Lotus Carlton rumbled by.

I clocked it and pulled out to give chase and have a look at it.

It blew me into the weeds. Incredible stuff.

I think I may well be close to owning one next year, its either that or a new bike to replace the RSV. I think I may go the way of the car though.

If finances can be slightly stretched, I might look for one of these though:-

Yum!

Draeger · 16 Apr 2006 at 17:06

Nice Beemer. Classics those.

A guy up the road from me has a red one, I've never seen it being driven more than a few times a year, he keeps it in his garage and I think he only takes it to shows.

Any idea what ballpark figure we are talking about for a good nick Stratos?. I've looked online but cant find any prices.

A full size one though?

As for mine, well I don't know. But I've always loved MGB GT's.

Dream cars: Ferrari 275gtb/4, mk1 Golf GTi stock and mint condition :cool:

My second choice

How much would that set you back.

My third choice would be the audi quattro Group-B Rally car.

Jez · 16 Apr 2006 at 17:52

TBH my dream car(s) at the moment are an E38 740i or a P38 4.6HSE.

Summer cars, cant decide between them, both awesome in their own way.

Neither of them are expensive, but i cant really see the point in having an unachievable dream car.

willd58 · 16 Apr 2006 at 17:54

360 spider in black.

TripleT · 16 Apr 2006 at 18:19

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 please

:cool:
