Okay just kidding (Sort of ...)
This has caught my eye lately
Im not a huge fan of sports cars etc, more of a bike connoseur.
But this is a car I would love to find and rebuild to mint.

A new one. Any new one.Hey now Puredrifting, I had a 1990 Camaro IROC. That mother was fast and solid. I changed the chip out, had the racing suspension put in, z-rated tires. The engine was a 350 TPI. And it had t-top. Killer on gas, but it could handle turns rated 35 mph at 70 with no sound out of the tires. Very much NOT poorly designed.
Sadly, I ended up selling it to a friend, who after 3 months, froze the engine solid. Changed the oil, and didn't tighten the plug good, apparently. I still weep for it.

Wow!
richard johnson, you just shot up sixty notches in my book. That right there is the ultimate.
Did you see kevin morgan's concept car for what he hoped might become a trans am based on the new camaro?
check it out with the t-tops... Even if it's blue...
i gotta say, 2009 reliability and fuel economy and performance, combined with the style of the '77-'78 bandit, would have to be pretty much the ideal.
Of course, if you hit it big, you could always buy a brand new bandit edition...

it costs $130,000... But ... Man...

No, where was the link? It is the first car that even car fanatics have said is just too much (and we thought it could never be too much!). Too fast, too expensive (I think 2.1 million dollars?), too crazy. But you have to respect that it ever even was built.
Dan
I certainly don't think it's to fast or crazy, you never heard about my jet car project.
Here is a link to the Veyron crash.

Wow, I wonder who the genius was who did that? Pretty funny. He wasn't even going very fast either.
I also notice the CMOS skewing in the camera view, pretty funny.

Less skewing in the videos of it being pulled out of the lake, I think that was the third Veyron to bite the dust.

This is at the top of my list ... the Veyron is incredible!! But I have to also second one of the original posts in this thread, I've loved the firebird with big bird emblem on the hood since I was a very small child. Definitely want one some day
Okay, since we are talking dream cars, why not the Bugatti Veyron? V16, 1,000 BHP, 253 mph top speed, four turbos? I would never drive it, I would build a house around it and just dust and polish it every day and set up church services to worship the sheer engineering madness that created it, because driving that car would make almost anyone kill themselves.
Dan
Larry you'll appreciate this video of the Veyron, great cinematography, editing, color correction, dialoge, just a very well put together video.
