Yes, I am making another thread like this.

The idea of this one, is for you to post what car you would choose for your weekend driver, I want to see performance cars!

Mine, as some already know, the Lexus LFA

Tough decision between a DBS

2007_aston_martin_dbs_02_m.jpg


and my first love, the Corvette

There is just something so wonderfully American about the 'Vette that I will always love :proud:

Of course if I had it my way, I'd have both, and few more thrown in as well :biglaugh:

Granted, the two cars stock are in different leagues, but with the $$$ saved from the Vette you could have a whole different monster on your hands. Full leather and Cashmere interior, custom body panels to make the car a little smoother/leaner, and it's already one of the fastest cars on the planet.

How about a DBS for "arriving" at the dinner parties and a 'Vette for track days on the weekend or anytime I really need to get somewhere in a hurry :biglaugh:

Of course, you could always be the biggest jerk on the block and turn your ZR1 into the "Mantide"

DMC you don't know what you want lol. You change your mind every 10 minutes. I would hate to be you when you spend a fortune on a car and the next day you realize you like another one better :D

For me, Veyron Grand Sport

Tempting as the idea of the F430 Scud or the LP640 SV may be. I have a few others making the list.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the LP640 SV in all black like the picture posted above. The fastest factory Lambo ever made, and one of the fastest production cars in the world. The care nearly caused my wife and father to witness just how much raw emotion a car like that can draw out of me, in the form of my eye's welling up. Literally. Think what you will of me, go ahead.

The Enzo, The F50, F40, McLaren F1, the Murcielago and some others are sights to behold. Being around one makes the hairs on my arm stand up, my senses and adrenaline go on high-alert as if I was close enough that the chance to strap myself in drivers side and pilot it was a possibility. I stare and I stare and I stare until whoever I am at the show with becomes angry and claws me away from what I know, is true love, between it and myself, forever meant to be. I would be humbled and honored to own just one car on a list that is too long to narrow down to just one.

However.. I prefer the gurgled brute trumpeting sounds of the force-fed built up, angrily released by an inline six twin turbo, feeding to all four meaty wheels. An engine that it has been said to be "quite possibly the strongest engine man has ever produced."

A car, with a pedigree of being one of only 200. A card carrying member of "the fastest production car in the world" club. Bring whatever you want, but unless its track prepped, probably super exotic, then be happy you were lucky enough to snap pics of the back bumper until after the race. And kiss it when it's over. Out of pure respect... The one, the only...

NISMO Z-Tune. I could live peacefully with this choice.

But when no one is watching, my eyes will well-up as my Italian soul beckons for it's true love that was meant to be.

It looks like AML are stealing a bit of Merc's SLR there!

@P4GTR: the R34 is a true everyday racers car, and is probably the most reliable of them all, but it's not exactly pretty is it?
If i were lucky enough to be driving through the Dolomites or Monaco - I'd want to feel, hear and been seen in a Ferrari!

Vector W8.

I always had a thing for Vectors. The first 2 photos above are the W2.

Have you seen the new car they are supposedly working on, the WX8....

Old Jaguars always looked amazing, recently saw this on the highway

The E-Type

I am pretty sure it was one of those Jaguars that Top Gear featured, the ones with all the modern parts and engine and stuff, but the origonal body and such of the origonal

Here is a video of the real deal... XJ13

YouTube- Jaguar XJ-13

I tried to embed it but it wouldn't work here.

Those E-types are fantastic cars too... the racing ones in particular.
