You can't tell me the sound of the gear-driven cams in the F-360 (and 575) aren't music to your ears. The supercharger whine of the E-55 AMG Benz is spectacular, and the slide the M-5 undergoes 35 seconds into the video is simply amazing. 5 liters and 10 cylinders generating 500 normally aspirated bhp @ 8,200 RPM is nothing short of astonishing.

God, I love toys.

I know plenty about it already; 4 turbochargers and 16 cylinders (in a "W" configuration, no less) amounts to trouble in any language :). Supposedly, it tops out after it's aero-metamorphosis at 252 mph. It was designed by Volkswagen (how's that for a kick in the pants...?).

My dad's best friend just got a Bentley GT and I tease him for the same reason. I always greet him with a "Hey, Vince - how's the VW treating you?"

Both are great vid, but I'm with Phyrex - that Bugatti top end run is more appealing. Fastest I've driven was 165 mph (275 kp/h), in a new 1985 BMW M 635 CSi and that was on the Autobahn.

That's excellent, Es. Unfortunately, as of recently, all BMW M cars have all been electronically limited to 155 mph. My brother drives a 2004 E-46 BMW M3, and I've driven it north of 140 mph on several occasions. It never ceases to be a rush. He's placed an order for a new E-92 M3, and I can't wait to get my hands on it...420 bhp, 8 cylinders, and an 8,250 RPM redline guarantees it'll be plenty of fun. Hell, I love my brother's current M3.

I had a v8 89 Camaro in top condition when I was 16-19 years old. The speedometer said it went 140, i never passed 130 however. My girlfried also had a totally suped up Integra. It went like 150+ It was rediculous. She ended up crashing into the back of a truck at about 40mph and totaling it though, she was ok thank god lol. Surprised I even lived through those days.

I was stationed in Germany at the time & had 2 BMWs while there, a 735i auto, for me and a 528i 4-spd for the wife. The 7 had a top end of 145 or so, would run all day at 130+. The 5 didn't have the top end, but would get there a whole lot quicker. I had the M635CSi for a week while the 7 was in being serviced.

Well, you'll never be able to drive that way or that speed legally, so all those are basically wastes of money.

And even if driving laws were different, they'd be still be freakishly overpriced.

Ya had to kill it.

Dorks do that.

"Wastes of money"..."freakishly overpriced"???? You and I don't value money the same way, my friend.

I was thinking that as I read the original post. I loves me that Bugatti Veyron.

Though if I was rich I'd probably buy "merely" a Lexus of some sort.

Yes, that is apparent as you're a maroon.

For someone who claims to be tolerant you are remarkably intolerant. Prae likes cars. This seems to be a view you do not tolerate very easily. Not everyone shares your likes and dislikes, you know.

I like toys too, but if I am rich I'd be more inclined to kick it back in the tropics, boat and fish, play some chess on the beach, flirt with girls-on-vacation, and go to good shows. Eat eat and eat. And eat. Different ideas of fun I suppose.

I knew you were. But poking the bear is getting kind of tiresome. For someone who is so humorous you are remarkably bad at detecting when a joke is dead.

It's not a joke, it's a game.

And who said I was humorous? :rant:

What the hell was that Opel wagon doing in there?

Why do you people have to ruin a perfectly good thread with your pointless bickering? Save it for the debate section, geez.

a car is more than just a toy...even for all us little people for whom it will be the 2nd biggest purchase in our lives, it's an extension of who we are.

you mean you're not trying to be funny:confused:

I feel the same way. Money doesn't really do anything for me. It would be nice to get away on a nice island and enjoy the quiet time.

What money buys is freedom to do what one wants without having to worry about making a living. I think that kind of freedom would be popular with almost anyone. I would spend my time traveling and enjoying as many of the experiences the world has to offer as I could.

Yes...the most important thing money can buy is time to yourself, to do...whatever.

It'd be nice to do whatever in this.

If I had the money for Dio's idea of fun I'd probably buy myself an Enzo.

Car: 1 million+ dollars
Job to afford car: One month of time (pyramid scheme online!)
The looks on people's faces as you drive on their grass in circles in an Enzo: Priceless.

I'm surprised you even know what an Enzo is?

Too much. I'll give em corn and nine hundred.

CT may not be on the short list for a new "Enzo" factory, but they do have these guys (http://www.callawaycars.com/) and they build some pretty nice cars.

Drool, drool.

You guys should go on Youtube and look up "Gumball Rally" there are some really cool vids. If your into tons of really fast cars driving 200mph on public roads while racing cross country that is, lol.
