ITT: Ae post and R8 each other's dream cars.
I'll start.
>>15109371
8/10
Toyota Mega Cruiser
>Toyota / military reliability
>Intelligent suspension and drive control
>Seating for 12
>Massive interior volume
>All wheel steering
>Designed to be able to accept poor quality contaminated fuel
>Available armor inserts
>Can accept other Toyota truck parts if need be
>Actually decently comfy
>Still gets 20mpg
>>15111126
apply yourself
Something classic probably like pic related or a Hudson.
>>15110779
>4L I4.
The torque is gonna rip up the streets.
>>15109371
I'd die happy if i could get one
>>15111126
this too
>>15111287
7/10, only because it isn't my taste.
This or an OT64 or BDRM.
Or a Toyota Hilux I can mount a RPK on the back of. I'd love a Toyota Hilux.
>>15109371
I used to drive this shit.
>6.2l diesel
>low gearing in every portal
>top speed is around 50-55mph
>takes eternity to reach top speed
>gears are loud as fuck
>wide as fuck
>relatively low seating compared to civilian 4x4s
>brick aerodynamics
>slushbox automatic
Liked 6x6 trucks since I was a kid. Idk.
Probably going to build one soon since I have half the parts laying around.
>>15109371
65 Buick Riviera will always be my dream car and will most likely be obtainable in the near future. I currently daily my other dream car, a 66 el camino
>>15111597
and forgot the pic since I'm hella tired.
>>15111580
Yeah you also drove the ones that weighed 6 tons and had to accommodate for full battle rattle
>>15109371
>>15110779
>>15111350
>>15111628
How can one thread be this wrong?
My dream car is not achievable. I can buy the car, but I could never get one brand new of the lot. I would have to find a time machine and go back to the late 80's.
>>15110779
>Seating for 12
as if you had any friends
>>15109371
1976 Lancia Scorpion
>MR
>was absurdly expensive when new
>81 HP 1.8L Fiat twin cam
I want to get one and put in the 160 HP 1.4L Multi-air Turbo from a 500 Abarth engine. Smaller engine, double the power.
sadly, I think these will be too far out of range from now forward.
probs this
This fine machine of pure glory right here.
>>15111733
you should set your sights a little higher when choosing a "dream car" anon
Lister Bell STR Lancia Stratos HF clone
>1979 Lombard RAC Rally colors, no decals like pic related
>3M clear wrap to protect glorious paintjob
>have two hoods, one with and without the full 8 lamp light array
>lots of modernized components like LED lights, rear facing camera, Ricaro seats, sound dampening and radio and A/C
>functional dashboard in a logical configuration and steering wheel moved to the right place
>ditch the unreliable Italian engines and build it with a GR2 FZE supercharged engine from an Australian Toyota TRD Aurion
>350+ HP out of a car that weighs less than a Mini Cooper
its one of the top 5 most beautiful cars to ever come out of Italy, and you can get it without all the quirks of being an Italian car.
>>15111751
a man of refined taste here.
Honestly this is the most stunning car I've ever seen.
>>15111756
>They only made 1807
I don't know how much rarer I could go anon.
I already own my other dream car :^)
>>15111700
>projecting
>>15111665
these things are so fucking rad
1/2 saved up for one of these already. At this rate one more year and I can start shopping.

Tfw british so I'll be atleast 30 before I can even think about getting one and by then they would've all rusted away
you people are all fucking plebs.

>All the W126s in my area have been lowered and beat to shit by Armenians
Probably generic, but don't hate.
Sidenote: Went to school with owner, and she's selling
My increasingly unattainable car.
I will always love this car, the engine sound and everything about it.
>>15111724
10/10 taste my friend.
My dream car requires no picture: McLaren F1 XP GT
>>15111797
I've seen someone around where I live with a 8 series. They really do look amazing, and the engine sound is great. Apparently they're a money pit for maintenance though, but still, an overall amazing car from a great company. There's a similar note in that engine to the v12 used in the Mclaren F1 as well.
>>15112780
Slightly normie tier because it was considered the best performance car of its time, much like the Veyron, 918, P1, LaFerrari, etc these days. Give you like 7/10 because it's not just the latest hypercar.
I didn't really care for 911s until I laid eyes on a Singer.
>>15112793
>normie tier
fuck off m8.
>>15112793
>I didn't really care for 911s until I laid eyes on a Singer.
I still don't care for them unless it's a Singer.
>>15112793
dude that porsche looks amazing
why were German cars so incredibly superior, and now they are ugly and trash?
>>15112848
I don't know. New Mercedes are still pretty fucking amazing.
>>15112883
What I can't stand about mercedes is 3 things.
1: America's 25 year import law existing because Mercedes got butthurt.
2:Mercedes buying chrysler in 1998 just to ruin their quality and drain them of all money and profitability
3: getting patents and taking credit for things they did not invent. Pick semi-related.
I will buy a Chrysler before I touch a Mercedes. With the shit they've done, I long ago lost any respect for them. I would love if they somehow went tits up.
>>15112785
If by similar you mean completely different in every conceivable way, you're right!
>>15112905
It's actually a variant of the same basic engine
>>15112897
>2:Mercedes buying chrysler in 1998 just to ruin their quality and drain them of all money and profitability
I agree on Mercedes stealing patents, but Chrysler was already known for reliability issues and approaching financial insolvency prior to the Daimler merger. It was the Mercedes US dealer network who got the import thing passed too. Daimler AG couldn't care less as they got the money either way.
/8 coupe with an M119 V8 swap, air ride, W126 seats and a reworked full wood, leather and alcantara interior for dat cruising comfort.
>>15112897
The import law exists because your cuntbag gubmint keeps getting cucked by corporations, not because corporations are trying to make money.
Also Chrysler were already horse shit by the time Daimler joined up, and Chrysler hurt Daimler more than Daimler hurt Chrysler. In fact popular modern models like the Challenger and 300 were thought up in DaimlerChrysler times, otherwise Chrysler would still fuck along making nothing but econoboxes and minivans.
The absolute best car of it's time.
270km/h top speed with a 6cyl engine stuffed into an M3 engine bay.
>>15112917
The only unreliable Chrysler's prior to the 1998 buyout were those touched by the hands at Mitsubishi, particularly all the 6G72 3.0L V6 powered bastards.
Chrysler was doing fine until Iaccoca was forced to leave. He could've selected Bob Lutz to replace him, but they had had an argument recently, so he instead chose Bob Eaton, a generic spineless yes-man, to replace him. Any problems after Iaccoca left are on Eaton's back.
>>15112923
>The import law exists because your cuntbag gubmint keeps getting cucked by corporations, not because corporations are trying to make money.
This. The same thing is still going on with how GM keeps lobbying state governments to block Teslas sales structure as it will dig into their sales.
>Also Chrysler were already horse shit by the time Daimler joined up, and Chrysler hurt Daimler more than Daimler hurt Chrysler. In fact popular modern models like the Challenger and 300 were thought up in DaimlerChrysler times, otherwise Chrysler would still fuck along making nothing but econoboxes and minivans.
This is right too. Dodge/Chrysler were well on their way to become a fully FWD shitbox brand but Daimler wanted to use Dodge as a performance brand and Chrysler as a cheaper Mercedes alternative. The Challenger, 300 and Charger were based on the mid 2000s Mercedes E-Class and still share floor, frame and suspension architecture. The current Durango and Grand Cherokee are based off the Mercedes ML platform too.
>>15112793
Don't let your turtleneck choke you Mr. Snowflake
>>15112912
I'm talking about the sound you dolt. Also, intake, exhaust, and valve train were drastically different, you know, the parts that affect the sound completely.
>>15112933
The Mitsubishi 3 litre V6 was fine, but it never had a chance against this piece of shit.
Talks shit all you want, but I dare to wager that when the Benz diesels finally die, this thing is considered underpowered, so the owner pushes 2 extra kgs of boost to make it hilariously fast again.
I am a simple man.
yfw your dream car is something that doesn't exist.
I have small dreams
Everything about this picture is my dream. Some day. Some day.
This car does things to my crotch.
This sexy 4wd minivan with a ls swap.
>>15111126
>>15111287
>Focus ST
Yeah, it's a really nice car, but fully loaded it's barely $30k.
Isn't that relatively short-term achievable?
>>15112760
Fucking hell that's classy.
>>15112764
Fucking hell those people should be rounded up and executed.

Fun Fact: at 200hp it was the most powerful car you could get from GM at the time.

That's awesome dude, post pics on here once you do. And look for a red one ;)
My dream car changes every week, but the one that keeps popping up all the time is a Porsche 944 S2. God I want a poor man's Porsche.
>>15114006
There was a good one on eBay with a turbo sr20det swap...it was fully restored too. Sold for $28k I think
>>15114006
Dream car is a shitbox economy car from the 70's that rusted away by the 90s
>>15109371
>>15114100
I always loved the idea of owning a 924 or 944, but then it occurred to me that I could get the same thing in an FC RX-7 and skip the majority of the maintenance headaches.

The Chrysler K-engines were fine.
The 6G72 V6 and the automatic transmission were what gave Chrysler an undeserved reputation for unreliability.
>>15114948
Man I'm with you with FCs. I want one exactly like this, the color just suits it so well.

7/10, Old Volvos are neat
>>15109371
Why not just buy one you silly OP? Humvees are cheap shit, like $5k. Slow shit though and hard to register.
My cousin has one of these, but it's a bit shoddy. I'd love to help him put it back together or even find one in better shape.
I guess I'm the only one.

>>15116420
everything amazing about the SLR comes to a screeching halt at the base of the windshield. everything past the door panel is a snore-fest taken straight from the SLK, at least the SLS threw in some gullwing doors to make things interesting.
>>15117273
I personally like the Lancia better

>>15117058
Nah man, I totally love that car. Saw one the other day but it was modded as hell and it looked beat up.
>>15123423
Where at?
>>15123426
Sweden
>>15123431
That may explain a few things.
I hardly see any ever around here unless it's a special occasion worthy of drawing them out, and seeing one in the wild is like seeing a shooting star.
Glad there's at least someone else out there that sympathizes with it, though.
Even though there's a near certainty I'll never be able to afford one, I can't help it being my favorite.
Boomp.

A 1968 Hurst Edition 442.
Though I'd be happy with a base, manual transmission Cutlass in nice shape.
>>15111746
My dad went to a Ford dealer 10 years ago to buy one. When he got there, the owner came out and tore the sticker off the window and said "It's not for sale."
I didn't even know about this until a few months ago. To think I could have grown up driving a GT...

You can buy it, just won't be street legal for a few years. Race it around your driveway.
>>15127369
I'm lucky to be living in Australia, since we can get them here
>>15114079
Thanks buddy! Red is actually the only color I won't be considering. Well...that and yellow.
I'm thinking black or white but I strangely even enjoy silver on these cars. I really like the green they came in but it was only available during the worst years (94-96).
i won't have the money. Not in 9 lives.

Ever since I was a kid.
GRAND NATIONAL
As much as a red-blooded murican who knows there's no replacement for displacement, the turbo Buick is something that is an oddity, something that was non-conformist, and despite all that, the little V6 that could brought the notion of horsepower back to the domestic fans.
And how they sneaked this in under daddy GM and told them to get bent when they found out. Gotta love it.
>>15127532
Whenever someone says protip: you can't
I wanna fucking die
>>15111580
People that pick them up for civilian use typically swap the motor for vortec/cummins engines, and put in different final gearing/trans.
>>15111773
Why not use a supercharged Busso V6 instead, with a dedicated ECU? Mechanically speaking those are quite reliable.
>>15116544
The V10 ones are getting cheaper and cheaper here in Yurop. Half of them have some kind of 700+hp software tune on them, too. If only they had the newer ZF 8 speed gearbox, they'd be a perfect thing to buy. Well, except maybe weight and maintenance.
>>15117273
I always felt the Scirocco looked a bit better, too bad it was never offered with the Quattro's driveline, despite the two being near identical in footprint.
At least they're fairly overlooked and undervalued.
Also I really want a UAZ 452, the breadloaf van
>>15130393
Aren't those vans dirt cheap?
I also kind of want one, and slam it like you see with aircooled VW vans. They're cheap and plentiful anyways, who gives a shit?
>>15112760
