Europe- F40 farrari
Japan- Toyota Supra Turbo (MKIV)

Unit 5302 · 02-02-2002, 01:09 PM

Mr 5.0 I don't believe the reality stipulation was made in this instance. Had it been made, the choice for many of us is obvious, none. We prefer the Mustang.

Now if this has to be a reality decision.

European - Volkswagen Corrado

Asian - Doesn't change. Nissan 300ZX TT

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 02-02-2002, 01:41 PM

I made this thinking it to be a wish and hope list lol. As many people have already done. Alot of 300ZX's and Supra turbos I have noticed.

Tod · 02-02-2002, 01:51 PM

another selection for a Supra here. a Supra TT anyway.

next would be an RX-7, and the fastest Porsche? the brand new Porsche RufTurbo; 520 hp. niiiice.

Mr 5 0 · 02-02-2002, 04:15 PM

O.K., if it's just a wish-list of cars I want in my stable when I win Powerball then please take my order for the following:

Porsche 911 turbo 12.3 et/ 193 top end - $118,000.

Aston-Martin Vanquish V-12 12.9/190 - $238,000.

Ferrari 550 Monanello 12.7/188 - $225,000.

Lamborghini Diablo VT 12.2/208! - 300,000.

There! 4 foreign, fantastic, very fast cars for under a million. Easy.

No Japanese stuff in the bunch, either. This was fun!

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 02-02-2002, 06:58 PM

Yes, I love doing these wish list thingys.

I made one with all the cars that I would ever want in 10th grade once but I can't seem to find it.

Geez Mr. 5.0, you sure did your research! lol.

Okay, I'm gonna keep this short and simple, so I don't end up writing a dream car list -- Cause just give me a McLaren F1 LM and that'd be all for me.

Anyway, I'd buy a Toyota Supra TT.

429mustang · 02-04-2002, 03:24 PM

If I won the lottery: Farrari 550 Maranello

If not: TT RX-7
WRX
TT Supra
TT Skyline

actually I'd get a civic ex and throw on 300 lbs of body mods and thin-*** tires that don't get sh*t for straight line traction, that would be badass plus it would be slower than when I got it. Dang, I don't even want a crustang anymore.

Just kidding, get it? AHHHHHHHHH hahahahahahahahahahaha

429mustang · 02-04-2002, 03:27 PM

Actually, I just realized I couldn't afford any of the cars I listed if I didn't win the lottery, so just kidding.

Coupe Devil · 02-04-2002, 03:30 PM

Since I believe there is a difference in foriegn and Exotic cars. I would say exotically I would chose probably the Porsche 911 or Carerra Convertible. As for just a foriegn car, I wouldnt have one. I wouldnt have a jap toilet if I didnt have to. Nothing is American anymore, and I know even Domextic cars have parts made overseas but you'll not catch me driving anything that isnt a FORD. Unless it's of course the Porsche.

KG88GT · 02-04-2002, 03:34 PM

I have a 1978 Datsun 280Z that I have had for 17 years. I love it and would not trade it for anything. I love my mustang but I have only had it 4 months so lets give it time.

vwaudi · 03-20-2002, 12:36 AM

definitely european, and definitely VW. i drive a 2000 jetta 1.8turbo thatll smoke alot of stuff. ive raced almost every v6 in town worth speaking of and about 3 gt's and won all of em. now most of that of course is driver but its still a quick car. plus the new ones have 180 (30 more than me) or you could go vr6. either way, vw makes a great car. and if youre looking at spending m5 money... the audi a6 2.7 turbo is the way to go. get the tiptronic manumatic transmission and i promise 9 times out of 10 youll smoke that m5, hands down, its all driver and with that transmission, you wont even have to try

LowDown · 03-20-2002, 08:57 AM

In no particular order:

BMW Z8 - 400hp 5.0ltr V8 (0-60 in 4.6/top speed 155)

BMW M3 GTR - 350hp 4.0litr V8 (basically a street legal version of their race car)

Audi S3 Quattro - 225hp 4 cyl. turbo (size and weight of a golf, awd, test drove one 2 weeks ago

) -not sold in America

Audi RS6 - 450bhp V8 (0-60 in 4.9/top speed 152) -available as a wagon or sedan - HELLUVA family car

Crazy Horse GT · 03-20-2002, 09:02 AM

I was thinking like Mr 5.0. At first I was under the impression that it ment if you could not buy the Mustang you could afford, then what Import would you buy. But then my thinking is somewhat on the reserved side.

Lets see. Hmmmm...Tuff one.

European: The new Mini.

Asian: Hmmm....Do the Japenesse make bicyles????

Now on the anything goes side of it.

European: Ferrari Anything..That newer Ferrari which ressembles the old Dino's. I dont know the model or anything.

Asain: Hmmm....umm....Monster Miata (Still has ties to Ford. hehehe I cheated).

1965GTO · 03-21-2002, 03:33 PM

Yes the japanese make bicycles,however most of them are manufactured in taiwan, same as most american bicycles. There are still quite a few american made and manufactured bicycles though. Shimano, which is a japanese company is the brand of component (shifters, wheel hubs, deraillurs, etc.) that you will find on 90 per cent of all bicycles in the USA no matter where they were made.

Undecided · 03-21-2002, 04:46 PM

Asian:Acura NSX
European:Ferrari (ANY)
American: well i think this forum says it all
