Lets Talk About Expensive Cars.

[madhogg]

I drive an old 2001 sentra, paid 500 bucks 2 years ago, and I have only spent money on oil and fuel. I thinks that is a freaking sweet deal

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.

 

lol probably...but theres something about it

The travesty is how much a legal one here costs here - you dont get much change out of $130k from an importer who converts them to RH drive which is kinda stupid cause yeah they are less than US$50k.
I've never understood why Dodge (or now Fiat) never sold them or the Charger here because V8's have always been popular and my Journey came RH out of the factory (complete with the bonnet release in the passenger side!) so with the Aus dollar in parity with the greenback it should've been an easy starter - although I guess because they might not have been popular in Europe maybe there was too much of a cost in building right hand drive versions

Lots of hugely expensive supercars that I would like but this is something a little different

Made me go funny. at college I had a teacher who was in her twenties, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, and she drove a HF Delta Integrale Turbo.

top 3 dream cars .. tuff choices ..except for the top of the list.

1) '68 Hemi Cuda ..set the paradigm for Hemi cars. An animal cracker bumper-to-bumper.
2) Supercharged '70 Hemi Cuda ..best looking Hemi car
3) Any hot rod/supercharged Corvette from 1997 up. Damn fine automobiles all the way around.

That said .. my daily driver is a bright RED 2012 Challenger Hemi R/T .. it scratches a lot of my itches
Goin thru the twisties it does not have the grip my Vettes had ..more weight, less tire, higher CG ..
..so corner apex speeds were about 5mph slower,
and it's easier to kick the back end out comin out (Challenger really needs more rubber in the back)

..mine has the big brakes and I was operating in sport mode
..it does well enough but does not have the neutral feelin my Vettes had..
..gotta mind the throttle-steering action-reaction a bit more ..but still great fun

Challenger is quicker due to gear ratio/torque available
..I get the distinct feelin I could get sideways very easily on corner exit
(again due to needing a bit more rubber out back)

Some of the best looking classic cars, but I prefer my '69 Boss 302 any day of the week.


Here's what I would like my Elise to look like if I ever do get one, I got this pic from Need For Speed World and I do own an Elise in that game.








The Lotus Exige is pretty close to the Elise, but it has a "fastback" type of look to it, and I don't like that on expensive exotic cars. However, the Exige is slightly faster than the Elise and I think that's a decent trade off. What I really love about the Elise/Exige is the high curves on the front end and on the sides. It looks like an ocean tide rolling along the sides/front. Pretty cool looking if you ask me.

I did not bother reading through this wet dream of a post but what I have learned is expensive cars well....are expensive.. go buy that panty dropper on wheels and you are gonna be dropping yours at the service center.  Get a classic and laugh at the joker driving the "lack of barrel compensated" nice car.

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.

Interesting, the boss 302 was not a good seller back then.  It was a real good car but fell short of power.  The 351 Cleveland just over shadowed the boss.  The Cleveland had the horsepower to overcome the better handling boss.  They did not sell too well if i remember right.
