If you could test drive any car in any place in the world what would it be?

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



Tech Data
Engine: Mercedes Benz AMG 12 Cylinder V60
HP & RPM: 602/6150
Tourqe: Nm/RPM: 760/4000
Clutch: Twin plate clutch
Brakes: 4 ventilated Brembo discs, hydraulic power brake
Steering: TRW rack and pinion power assisted
Suspenion: 4 independant wheels with double A-arm;
pull rod helical springs and Ohlins adjustable shock absorbers;
anti-roll bar; aluminium/magnesium alloy suspension arms

Performance: Acceleration 0 - 100Km/h: 3.6 Seconds, 0 - 200Km/h: 9.8 Seconds
Braking 200 - 0Km/h: 4.4 Seconds
Top Speed: 345Km/h

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?

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,,,,

Regards

A: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead
Bristol Fighter
Jaguar Mark 2
Jaguar XJ (pre-2003)
Aston Martin DBS
Ferrari 430 Spyder

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

Quite a long list... but I want them all, no matter how I get them

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

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.

Hrmm. 1979 Trans Am.. My dream car.

But instead of the usual Black w/ Gold Phoenix, I'd have to get Silver w/ Black Phoenix.

Specs for Stock:
4 speed borg warner super t10 transmission
400ci Pontiac engine (ported and polished heads)
t-tops
ws6 package
4wheel disc breaks
15x8 snowflake rims
edelbrock aluminum intake
holley 750 carb
centerforce clutch
hurst shifter
3.73 gears
hooker competition headers
3 inch dual exhaust with 3 inch flow through mufflers

Not the fastest car on the block, but it's looks make up for everything it lacks, anyways, just stick a shot of N2O in there and you're fine.

Thank you siredhuman, the 330 was a GOOD choice.

Elvrage, I'll bet you don't know what most of the stuff you just typed meant........

(in advance, yes, I know him in real life, so don't criticize me!)
