chrishill 0 Posted September 13, 2005 just wondering what people would have as their ultimate money/running costs/practicality no-object car. I'm expecting alot of 'ferrari' and 'porsche' answers but hopfully there'll be a few interesting gems in there too. this would be mine... (i know they handle like donkey do-do but LOOK at it! and 1000+bhp too!) Evil Dodge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 13, 2005 I love Porsches but way too sensible if it's a money no object car, LOL. That Dodge is awesome, maybe a shelby mustang gt500. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 13, 2005 i think its the same as the one in TFATF, but i dunno if its the actual car they used. good choice rodders, old school porkers get my vote too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Dodge is awesome, maybe a shelby mustang gt500. 959's aint exactly cheap motors to run tho..............IIRC each wheel costs approx £3k......cos they have a tyre pressure monitor built into them :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted September 13, 2005 What Graham says. Basically it needs a big-block American V8 in it and I'll be happy :D I'd really like a 30's Ford or somesuch in black with a 3" cut out of the pillars, ditched to the floor, a V8 crammed in the front and rolling on small wheels with big white-wall tyres 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
