What is your "realistic/non-realistic dream car"?

Viffermike · 01-14-2016, 04:10 PM

Oh, why the hell not:

Realistic: Porsche Cayman GTS. New or used, I will have a Cayman. (I'd say 911, but I see way too many hyper-conservative geezers and trust fund babies with 'em in Big D. I am neither, and I don't want to be considered either.) I've always considered a late '60s-early-'70s 911 Targa as my vintage target, but the value of those has at least tripled since the Recession. Probably not gonna happen, since I can't rely on a 40-plus-year-old car as a DD.

Not realistic: Oh, how the list is long. If I had to choose one new and one vintage:

Vintage: 1963 split-window 'vette.
New: Whatever McLaren is available and attainable. 540C, 570S, 675LT, 650S, P1: I don't care. I adore them all. As long as I can get it painted in midnight blue.

Realistic-ish Dream Car: Mazda MX5 (ND). Almost bought one, but it doesn't fit into my life for now as a single car. Bought a 2016 Golf R instead which I love too.

Non-Realistic Dream Car: Porsche Boxster GTS. I'll never be able to afford one of these brand new.

Realistic: Z4 E89 with S85 engine swap

Unrealistic: BMW 507

W/// · 01-15-2016, 07:16 AM

Realistic: My current E36 and E92 M3, along with my soon to be F80, as well as a 911 GT3 (still not sure which model). The M3 collection will be complete within a year or 2, the 911 will take much much longer, but still a goal of mine.

Unrealistic: Mclaren F1

FriskyDingo · 01-15-2016, 09:08 AM

Realistic- 991 50th Ann, F80 M3 w/ Comp Pkg and Individ ERRTHANG, or new GT350-R

Afraid best I can hope for is what most of you already have...

f30 340i

Money no object...

AC Cobra (rumour has it this car is partly responsible for the uk motorways having speed limits, so it's a love hate thing)

ShocknAwe · 01-15-2016, 11:31 AM

Realistic?

S65 1er. I'd have a 1M but I'd rather not cut it's heart out. Still working on that.

Crazy Dreams? Like Never in a Million Years Crazy Dream Car?

1962 250 GTO. Nuff said. Pretty sure it's the best most beautiful car, ever.

Followed by the 1964 E-Type Lightweight. Probably prefer one of the 6 continuation models of the original 18 just to get something... newer.

The E-type continuation builds are pretty cool actually. Motortrend did a great article. Click:http://www.motortrend.com/news/jagua...-drive-review/

That is sweet. I was in Thailand and some people rebuild those on the cheap with genuine parts. A wonderful machine.

My realistic car was my Alfa 156 in Thailand. Because Thailand has 175%-400% taxes on cars, based on engine cc. Alfas got a bad reputation and the prices were reasonable. Toyotas and Lexus are the price of a BMW and Maceratis in Europe. So imagine what Maceratis cost in Thailand...

REALISTIC THAILAND car: a 2 liter Alfa Romeo 156 disguised as a GTA (wheels and skirts)

Then I came to Canada and bought my E90 335i with all options except the radar. This is my REALISTIC CANADIAN car. Quadruple my salary and I won't get the newer models. I might consider light mods if I have huge sums of money to cover risk of repairs.

UNREALISTIC CAR: Macerati Quatroporte. I don't like supercars this is a good balanced car.

I am following this thread though and might discover other cars you guys suggest and could be convinced to change!

RSBro · 01-15-2016, 03:47 PM

1/Realistic - Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Runner up is a Maserati GT.

2/Unrealistic - As others have said, any McLaren really. I would say F1 but I'm not a good manual driver so I'd opt for the P1. Macca has always been my dream brand. Runner up is a Dauer Porsche "962". I prefer them to the Schuppan design.
