Smurf Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 If you could have any car you wanted, what would it be? Rules: 1) Cannot be a race car; 2) You can't sell it and take the cash; 3) You have a run about, so it can afford to be impractical. I would choose the Koenigsegg CCR. For those of you who are not familar with the car, visit (although I'm sure most of you know about it): http://www.koenigsegg.com/ It was tested in an UK mag and from memory did 0 - 160km's in around 8 secs in the wet. And it looked spectacular in the flesh at the Sydney motor show last year. And yes, I know some of the skylines on this forum would probably beat it in a straight line. After this it would be the usual suspects Enzo, Porsche GT and McLaren F1. Yes, I love super cars (not the Aust V8's) What are your thoughts?

CONRAD Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Ariel Atom! It uses a Honda Vtec engine from a Civic Type R and the ballistic version has a super charger!! Apparently it does 0-100 in like 2.9 seconds - NUTS It beat the Koenigsegg and the Porcshe GT and all the other exotics around a UK airport test track designed by Lotus to really compare cars, only the Enzo was faster by a fraction of a second. The best thing is that this car is only like AU$70K... If you didn't need to carry luggage and parked it in mid winter you'd be laughing and still have money to fork out on a house. It looks like a mini F1 car WICKED. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73990-if-you-could-have/#findComment-1359219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkblade Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I’m not sure if it’s even been officially released for sale yet & I may not live through the experience but, I’ll take a blue-black Bugatti Veyron. If you can’t be bothered reading about it in the link, the stats: 0-100kmh: 2.9sec 0-300kmh: 14sec Top speed: 401kmh (with speed limiter) Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the top super cars going around. www.modernracer.com/features/worldsfastestcars4.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73990-if-you-could-have/#findComment-1359761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Not that it's important, but the Koenigsegg in the comparison provided by pkblade is the slower of the two Koenigsegg CC's (it has around 150hp less than the top of the line). Just for the record I think the faster version did a 12.8 quarter at 132 mph in the wet. As you can see, I have an obsession with this car. i realise it is not the fastest car in the world around a track, though it does have the world record for fastest production car, 388km/h. I love the Bugatti Veyron. Reading about it last night. 0-300km/h in an estimated 14 seconds. I think my skyline would be doing around 155 in that time. Mental note, never race a Veyron.
