That's a Dodge Viper GTS-R.

I love the fire extinguisher handle in the centre console!

How could someone look at this and then think "ooh those stripes would look GREAT on my Nova/Saxo?"

That's a Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept car. Some say the Viper is ugly, but I reckon the standard version of any Viper looks mean as F U C K. As for that one....you can keep your R34's etc, that's one sweet ass car :D

And we all know what happens when you turbo charge an 8 litre V10 - lots of power, sod all turbo lag, all out show car :D

I think that the best car for the money has to be an Ultima GTR - sweet.

But, if you're talking production cars, gotta be the Lotus Esprit GT V8, unless you ant it to be reliable too of course ;)

Still have a yearning for a ferrari F40, it was always my dream car when i was growing up.
Love it.

Apart from that, a wee r33 or r34 would do me nicely, not too keen on the Viper. sorry.

A Vette? Have you ever seen the chassis twist on one of those things? Give it 7k when standing still and the whole bloody thing rocks...
And its a boat...

Give me my baby Starion anyday

Maybe, maybe not. As I understand it the lastes ones are almost to European tastes handling wise. But whatever, where else can you get to 60 in less than 5 seconds and to 170mph for about £32000. Plus, I think it looks fantastic :D :D

The old r32's come in at about 10 grand I think :eek:

Thats the one for me, not exactly a dream car in terms of looks.... but wasting serious machinery in standardish looking coupe/saloon thing is the way to go ;)

Dunc.

Ohh err...

Just don't trust the build or central locking or electrics!!!

As for the Vette, handling ain't that wonderful, one of the testers here took it to the Nurburgring and nearly trolleyed it during a minor disagreement with a corner. And this bloke's a lamborghini and lotus trained driver!!!
Very yankee really,quite squishy...
Why not have a second hand something?

Yeah i've heard about the problems of owning a TVR but it will still be more reliable than my 200. :D

So Paul, you like your cars to sit in the garage or at THE garage most of the time do you?? :D

I say this, cos my boss had a Tuscan Speed 6 and had problems with it. Then went through a few other motors (355 being one, git!), then got a Cerbera, which is nowt but hassle. Now he's gone and got a Lotus Exige for track use and ordered himself a nice Evo 7 yesterday. Git Git Git :mad: :mad: :eek:
