Little question for all of you...

If money was not a concern, and you could actually buy your dream car, what would it be.

I know I would order a brand new Nissan Skyline GT-R, or if I could find a Nissan Skyline 400R, that would be even better.

Mine would be a 1970 Ferrari Boxer. I was this...ll...close to owning one. $29 g's. Good deal. Now you can't tough them for under $150 g.

It would definitly be a 1995 ZR1. Try and catch ths car after a day in the shop with John Ligenfelter who got this car to smoke a McLaren F1 at the track. One mean puppy, a collectors item, can performe with the best of them and can be purchased used for less than $45 000 Canadian. Beat that price for best bang for the buck!

1988 Grand AM, restored (yeah, corny I know) with a Bilmar HO Quad 4, Turbo intercooled with a 6speed.... I'll post a picture of what I want it to look like later

Oh... and for fun, I would get a Ferari 550? Not too familiar with Ferraris, but its the one in the movie "Family Man" Maranello?

My choices would be two;

First one would be the LT5 6 speed 3rd gen (90-92 I believe) that John Moss from GM Specialty division built.

The other one would have to be a 1970 454 Chevelle SS convertable (with M22 4spd). Preferably the blue with white stripes, but any color would do.

I would buy 20 mustangs, probly a few 5.0s and some cobras from the 90s and a few new ones too. Then I would start the tour de Canada stopping at every county fair destruction derby on the map. Maybe do some offroad rock climbing and trail speeding in the rockys too.

but seriously it would probly be along the lines of
64 shelby cobra
02 viper
69 yenko camaro
a new diablo never hurt anyone and I would have to get pro drive to build me a custom WRC impreza WRX while Im at it

Does anyone know where I can get headers for my 2.0 Sunbird? Cause it's got no pick-up now, and I wanna give it ALMOST no pick-up. That would be such a worthwhile upgrade. Money is not an issue either, cause this is one of those cars that you don't mind, it's just so worth it. I may just go to Dragday with it.

Actually I won't be too hard him, it gets me around cheaply, and (knock on wood) it's done it totally faithfully for me. It Is a GOOD car. Did ya hear that "Coors"?
PS I call him "Coors", you know, like the silverbullet)
