Dream Car
#1

Gentleman, in keeping with the xmass season where all little boys and girls dream of the presents Santa will put under their tree, what is Your dream car! One car only and why. I thought I would keep it to cars so old reprobates like myself wouldn't track off into their flights of fancy! Lol

I've always told my family if I had the opportunity to own a Ford GT-40 I am done. I would stop lusting after other cars. However, the 968 would be its stable mate.

Good one, Jay. Never heard of it, but it definitely fits the "dream car" bill.



For me, if I had a world-beating track car, like one of the recent 968 turbo conversions, it wouldn't matter to me much what I drove on the street. But if pressed, a McLaren F1 under the tree would do very nicely.

I owned my dream car for a while. Sadly (stupidly) sold it about ten years ago:

I'd put an Audi R8 GT in the garage and call it a day. It's calm enough to drive on the streets, reliable and a great performer on the track. Interior looks great, and the car is very engaging to drive. AWD + 562HP makes for a fun ride. 333 produced.



Here it is sitting in front of my old driveway.

As I've said before, I'm not thrilled by the styling of the R8, but I have to agree that as an overall package, it is hard to beat.

OK, since we're dreaming, here goes:



1. Finish track car conversion of my current 968 (complete suspension revamp, ~200 lb lightening, rebuilt engine with ~270 hp in the end).



2. Have a blast finishing up the courses at the local driving academy, doing DE's, time trials, and finally competitive racing



3. Begin longing for more power



4. Win lottery



5. Buy another very nice, low mileage 968



5. Pull engine out of new 968, and turbocharge it, following in Dimma's brilliant footsteps



6. Swap engines between the two 968's



7. If still available, possibly add D1R supercharger to the street 968



This would give me the ultimate track 968 (maybe the ultimate track car, period, though of course this is debatable), and a fantastic 968 for the street as well. And to all a good night...

Well, it would probably be an original euro spec 968 turbo. This is a tough one....considering I basically already have a replica 968 TS waiting to be built.....Id have to say a 959. Id say a Giugiaro designed Porsche tapiro...but that is unobtanium, considering theyre all destroyed. There are some other Giugiaro designed cars that would be high on the list, 959 would take the cake though.

As always, if I could have the car of my dreams, it would be the car I was promised as a child by the science fiction and advertising writers of the day.



I want my #$@*% flying car! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/whine.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



According to the site, "The Audi Calamaro Concept was developed by Tibor for a design competition, organized by Porsche Hungary."

I could afford two of my "dream" cars ( DB9 and Fort GT ) but as I said before , I could not afford the divorce if I bought either / or ..

However, the dream car I would put on a pedestal is a Ferrari Dino. That's my choice above all else, but it would probably not be driven...rather, just kept as a museum piece, encased in lucite

Yeah, I was thinking of going with the Dino as well, but I assumed the car would be one that is driven, and as cool as the classics are, as driver's cars, a new Civic would eat most of their lunches in terms of comfort, performance, and day-to-day livability. Even my choice of an F1 probably wouldn't be a car I'd actually want to live with. Upon reflection, if I liked the looks of the R8 more, that would be the logical choice for a do-everything-brilliantly car. A supercharged 968 with the full dynamat treatment and a killer stereo is looking better and better all the time...

Well, there is another ride that would rival the Ford GT on my list. An original 904 with the flat six. But that's a dream.

The R8 would definitely be the most useable dream car for me. If I wanted something to park in the middle of the living room and stare at all day, it would be white on white:
