wedgie: That definitely has something to do with the relative weight of the Zonda. The Bugatti definitely hits a higher top speed, but it doesn't help that the Top Gear track has very few straights on it. As you saw, in the drag, the Zonda was clearly outpaced. Misleading statistic, I feel.

Oh yeah of course. They actually did do a drag race of the zonda vs the veyron, and unsurprisingly the veyron destroyed the zonda. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l4_WxNf6YQg The veyron is heavier though so it was slower around the track.

I looked up that Veyron, it looks great.

Oh yeah, I've always wanted a Toyota Supra 95'.
Image

This is a car I always dreamed of getting...in both Gran Turismo 4 and real life. The car is called a Sauber Mercedes C9. One of the best looking cars in GT4 IMHO, and hardest to get as well, and even harder in real life.
Image

Another classic I've wanted was the McLaren F1. Not the race car, but the street version.
Image

I've also really love the SSC Ultimate Aero car. Fastest car in 2007, so I've heard...
Image

Not to mention the Saleen S7.
Image

And even the Koenigsegg CCX.
Image

Another very cool looking car would be the Ferrari Enzo. It's also a pretty fast car, very fast infact.
Image

This is another cool car. It's called a Porsche Carrera GT. It looks great, and goes from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.
Image

Yup. To be continued...

EDIT: I fixed one of the pics.

Never liked those late Supras. They look so plasticky and tacky. Much prefer the '91 model.

As far as the simpler cars go, Id settle for this:

Gotta love that chromillusion paint.


Is it a terrible thing to want to keep this thread going?

Doesn't seem too simple to me. I think my pick is definitely simpler. Yours is somewhat of a supercar.

Well, in all fairness, I did name this "Dream cars".

You want to go back to simple? I showed up with what he was asking just as the dude signed the papers over for this fucker:

But the one I'm talking about was solid black with chrome side pipes. And four speed. And 400cu.

Man, I still think about that car.

Yeah, but my dream cars aren't supercars. Sure, they're fast, but sincerely lacking in the kind of style I look for.

I love Chrystler 300s so much.

I have a '97 Cadillac Deville right now, but the new Cadillacs really appeal to me.

(Different color maybe)

This is only reinforcing my suspicions that you are a pimp.

As I've said before I'm a little of a muscle car nut. I only have the one, but it is a '67 Chevy Impala, 2-door targa-top version. I restored it from scrap, I love it more than lots of other things. I also fitted an upgraded engine, it has the 454cu Turbo-Jet V8.

Now look at that. Borealis has style. Old muscle cars. Chryslers are so ick, in my opinion. Ripping off the old English style for a quarter of the price and none of the class. Props to Digits for his choice.

If I drove Digits' choice, I would have to shave my head and have a torrid affair with a whiny Asian chick.

Borealis, that link doesn't work for me, and I really want to see your car.

It's also annoying that this is a thread for dream cars, yet you post an awesome car that you actually own! -_-

Overall... It's getting progressively better. I'm a bit interested to see where it goes from here.
Think you have ideas worth contributing to my comics? If so, PM me your idea and I might put it in my comic. And, of course, your name will be cited in the comic.
