Lets Talk About Expensive Cars.
« on: April 17, 2013, 07:06:43 PM »
The title says it all. Lets talk about really expensive cars that we all want, but cant have.


For me, I want only 3. I wished for these very cars on Christmas but Santa obviously didn't deliver. Cheap bastard...


1: Lotus Elise
2: '69 Ford Mustang Boss 302
3: Mercedes Benz CLK GTR


Those 3 cars are very expensive, and are highly wanted by a lot of people. The sad thing is that only the Boss 302 is street legal in the US, so I might have to move to Canada so I can get my hands on that Lotus. Its a small list and I don't ask for much, but I like to keep it simple. Now that i'm done with my list, lets hear what stupidly expensive cars that you guys want.

All cars are expensive, I was given a car once and it cost me a fortune.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Hennessey Venom GT. Why? 1,244 BHP. Faster and quicker than the veyron. And it looks perfect.

You must change #2 to a Boss 429.



Oh, and move it to #1.   :D

Iso Grifo 7 Litre.

Available with a Big block chevy L71 (427/435hp....tri-power), full IRS with inboard mounted rear brake discs.

As far as the Hennessey, we hold the record and they don't.

I looked for a CTSV when I traded my SLK last year. Not surprisingly, there's not many used CTSV for sale but you can find the 6cyl all day long. I'm not a GM fan and they're they are butt ugly, but the horsepower could make me jump country real easy.

I replaced an engine on one that was a hennessey V650 and found that they had not upgraded the rods.

It's now LS9 trim with the lsa blower on it.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

You'd be disappointed. It's fine in a straight line, but it handles like a bathtub. It's a $40K+/- car here.
You'd be better off buying a Camaro.
