Ok, I did a search for it, and no thread came up, so here it goes...

What cars, other than the MX-3, of course, you love, like, would love to have or already have?

In my case, there are several:

My wet dream cars: Mc Laren F1 GTR, Porsche Carrera GT, Lamborghini Diablo VT, and Audi Avus quattro.

Then...

Renault: '78 Torino ( for those who don't know it, here's a pic http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_ima ... _large.jpg), and '09 Laguna Coupe (http://www.netcarshow.com/renault/2009- ... per_02.htm)

BMW: Z4M, 325i coupe.

Chevrolet: '72-'73 Camaro, and '78 Corvette

Mazda (ahem): MX-5, RX-8, gen 3 RX-7, gen 1 RX-7 convertible, RX-3, and Kabura, if they ever build it.

Mitsubishi: 3000 GT, and Eclipse.

Nissan/Datsun: 280 ZX turbo

Porsche: 944 turbo, and any 911.

So...what are yours?

Vanquish...is...sex.

As for the unobtainable...the Koenegsigg CCX is the sickest car ever built by mankind in my opinion.

In terms of something I might someday own...I would pounce on a 2011 Mazdaspeed 6 if it comes into being. I am also deeply interested in the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

More than any of them though, I'm most in love with the car in my head. Someday...someday.

It's good.. but I had to replace all the coolant lines and realized how much work is involved in repairing stuff.. it's not a fun engine bay.

But my dream cars:

'04 Mazda RX8 with red interior
Blue Mazda Miata

Yeah I'm simple minded lol.. and all Mazda.

though, I recently worked on an old Corvette Stingray.. I loved that one too.

My sig says it all! My current collection is all I could ever want or need. I'm thinking of getting a gixxer next summer, and starting a new project. A body dropped 2009 Ram, fully shaved on 26's.

This.

I've been toying around the thought of getting another car to turn into a project once I finish the interior/exterior of my mx3 instead of turboing it like I want to...fact is, there are many other cheap cars that I like besides it.

I've always wanted to build myself a frame, and either adapt a multilink suspension, or build my own. If I build my own, I've very temped to experiement with pneumatics, or EM suspensions...


You guys have all listed the other cars I'd love to have, except maybe the Celica All-trac st185.

Wow, that's a lotta cars...

Ionic: Which batmobile? I like the Tumbler... :P

D_R: yes, that's the one. I have heard before they're kind of a pain to work on, but I like the styling. A clean, no BS sports car.
Did you finally get your RX-8? You said some time ago you had found one...

Wytbishop: I also have my own baby (babies) in my head. Like you said, someday...

If I had to choose one that has all ready been made I would probably take the tumbler also, but If I got to do a custom one off it would be the batmobile drawn by Alex Ross. Alex Ross is known for his realistic style of comic characters and when he did the series "Justice", he finally showed us his interpretation of the batmobile.

For the base I would probably use a Plymouth Prowler.

lol, you remind me of the guy who collected millions of pepsi points (or w/e it was) to get the Harrier Jet that they had advertised on TV and was pissed off when he didn't get it.
