    For me it would have to be the Pagani Zonda C12 F around Nürburgring in Germany. This car is my dream car, it is a very good car and to have the oppurtunity to drive one around The Nürburgring would be truly epic. I would love to own one but it's way out of my price range. i'll just have to settle for good ol' Subaru WRX Sti... If i can ever afford one of them :(

    I would test drive the 1968 Plymouth VIP at Laguna Seca.

    Seriously.

    I don't even wanna post the specs considering I'm to lazy.

    Koenigsegg CCXR on the road from Davos to the Stelvio Pass in Switzerland.

    That car WOULD kill me on that road, but what better way to go out?

    Ah the Koenigsegg. Was expecting that one :D There is a lot of cars i would prefer to drive much more than that

    It has a V12 engine, not V60.

    Its a 12 Cylinder engine with the angle between cylinders being 60 degrees.

    Not a real petrol head as such

    But

    I would love to drive the Bugatti Veyron, any long straight road would do, just as long as I could get the bu&&er up to its top speed,,,,

    And my secret wishes
    1960's Mecedes convertible or a Delorean DMC-12

    If i had to pick one it would probably be the Rolls

    +1 for Nurburgring. I've always wanted to test drive an NSX... just because I'm a honda guy.
  11. Finchy Newcomer, in training Posts: 378

    Honda guy? Do you mean over 75?

    (joking, :D )
  12. mopar man TechSpot Ambassador Posts: 1,487

    No, no, 55, not 75.

    I have a change of heart. I would like to test drive a 1952 Dodge B-series truck....

    20 leaf springs on each side, ftw.

    Pagani Zonda FTW
  14. Zed Newcomer, in training Posts: 20

    If I was to become really rich I'd have to go for a Merecedes SLR McLaren Roadster.....AMG-built supercharged 24 valve 90 degree V8(5.5 liter)...617hp @6500rpm....575 lb-ft@3250-5000 rpm and it's all in a nice small package.
