Japanese type 96 wheeled APC. I can just imagine the look on the faces of the douche bag's who drive Hummers and other obscenely large suv's as I drive past. But unfortunatly i'll probably never own one unless I can make some good friends in the Japanese army. Anyway, post pictures of the car you always wish you had but will most likely never own.

The 2003 Saleen S7 - one of the most expensive and rare cars you can buy - only 48 were made. They cost about $395,000 each. It apparently creates so much aerodynamic force downwards to keep the car on the road that if you were somehow able to drive the car upside down, you'd take off into the air.

A Pagani Zonda.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of it, it's been about since 1999 and they've made about average amounts for a supercar...powered by a 7.3 litre Mercedes AMG V12, producing about 550 bhp, and a similar level of torque.

Costs an absolute shedload, and does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.

Would kick the ass of a Saleen or the Carrera GT anyday of the week :D

And I wouldn't want the Carrera GT anyway...it's just a Porsche. The Zonda is special.


edit: I should also mention that this was their first attempt at making a car....and they made a car that outshines almost any other supercar.

You know why? Because they cheated.

And poor design on the first Death Star...and the implausibility of the shield generator attack. Yes, we can build mile-long Star Destroyers, but our AT-ST's can be crushed by logs swung from trees.

Don't forget the total lack of internal defenses as well. Ridiculous.

I don't think they've ever really approached this level of car before. But really, I haven't been into supercars enough to know what's really the best since I was in middle school.

Well, yeah-there is that.

I just moved (or am about to move) into a place thats on Hwy 9 which is the curviest piece of road I have seen in a llllllooooooonnnnnnngggggg time. Even in my pokey '67 VW Bus I was having a blast. I think it's time to start saving some pennies and get me back in a sports car if that's going to be part of my daily commute. I'm thinking vintage because a) I don't make much money so old british sports cars and 914s are really all I can afford anyway, and b) that road is so knotted that I would never have a chance to top out a new car anyway (though a WRX on that road....I-I need to be alone for a minute...)

Or spring one of those Dune Buggies for road work...(sometimes I'm kinda a heritic...)

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Z-tune(スカイラインGT-R/BNR34)
On January 14th, 2005, Nismo resurrected the R34 GT-R for one last tour of duty before the introduction of the anticipated next generation GT-R. Labeled as the R34 Z-tune, the Nismo engineers spared no expense into making this car the most powerful road-going GT-R ever created. With much technology borrowed from the GT500 Racing GT-Rs, the Z-tune boasts a 2.8 L twin turbo instead of the stock 2.6 L engine, racing pistons, connecting rods and camshaft, and a upgraded ECU gives the Z-tune 500 hp (370 kW) and 540 N·m (400 ft·lbf) of torque. The car became affectionately known as the "Mother of all GT-Rs" and is expected to carry a price tag of $170,000 US dollars. Nismo has stated that this car will be a limited run edition, and only 20 will ever be made and sold.

I was really hoping that GT4 was going to be online for more than people good at fiddling with computers (I know you can trick GT4 into thinking it's networked when really it's online, but I'm not that 'savvy') so I could punish anyone in a Skyline.

I hate those things on a pure gutteral level. (which is to say it's not neccisarily rational so showing me stats isn't going to help, just make me want to beat you that much more.)

I just saw this (http://www.goolsbee.org/amelia04/Concours/Concours-Images/3.jpg) car on my way to this cafe. I nearly caused him to wreck it because I pulled across the lanes to get up on him to get a better look and my big ol Bus blocked his view. He was nice about it and let me oggle the car for a while.

That is definately a dream that is not likely to come true...
