Nice pun :)

[Nanotech9]

Ferrari Testarosa, probably an early '90s (maybe an 87 or 88 too)
'95 Porsche 911 Turbo, red on black
25th year Anniversary Lamborghini(sp?) Countach Black on black
mid 90's AMC Hummer, black on grey, 4door
'91 BMW Alpina B12 here (http://nanotech9.dhs.org:1080/images/1991_bmw_alpina_b12_50-1.jpg)
2001 Saleen S7 (do they only come in grey?)
and the list goes on...

[OC]

In no particular order -

Porsche Boxster
Audi S6 Avant
C5 Corvette
WRX
Acura MDX

Plus there's a trainload of project vehicles I want to build -

Take my 1995 Geo Metro, the 1.8 4cyl from a 2000 Suzuki Esteem, add a turbo and EFI from SDS. 2000 lbs and 200hp anyone? In a Metro? he he he

1980-ish RX7 with a Ford 5.0 and AOD (or maybe LS1/4L60E)

1987-ish Porsche 944 with an LS1 (sorry Ice-9) using a kit from Grannys Speed Shop

1995 Dodge Neon with a turbo from Hahn Racecraft

2000 Nissan Maxima with a supercharger from Stillen

Ferrari Daytona replica, based on a 280Z, using an LT1 and 4L60E (with the traffic around Seattle, I view automatic trannies as necessary)

Build a street rod using the driveline from an AWD Mitsu Eclipse.

and many others...

-OC

[despayre]

gotta add one:

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX

[Memo]

Haha! Well i'm gonna be realistic since I am a poor college student:

Audi TT Quattro
BMW Z3
Mazda Miata
BMW 325xi
Mercedes SLK 320

Cars I am looking to buy when I graduate (one of them) or maybe something more bad ass will be released in 4 years time.

[brain]

Mercedes E55... Hopefully...

Heheh, it's cool. I bitch about how slow my car is all the time, although I had fun burning a riced-out civic today. I don't think Porsches are V-8 kinda cars, but I imagine an LS-1 in a 944 would be a pretty powerful combo. Anyway, here's my list:

2002 Porsche Carrera GT
1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible
1997 Ferrari 355 F1
1957 Mercedes 300SL
1988 Porsche 959
1997 Porsche 911 GT1

[DarienOta]

mitsubishi lancer EVO VII
"stock" turbo charged 4 banger 300+ bhp

Hello? 928?

Anyway, here we go:

1994 Speedster
2002 Turbo GT2
1961 speedster, black, NOT A KIT!!
64 impala, metallic maroon, with switches
1984 Ferrari Mondial...or a 308, I likes them both.
1991 (?) 959.

Yeah, but the 928 sucks. :D It's a "grand touring car," not a sports car like every other Porsche.

[Nanotech9]

1980-ish RX7 with a Ford 5.0 and AOD (or maybe LS1/4L60E)

Thats sacrilage(sp?):angry:... the Rx7's beauty is it rotary engine... if you balance it right, port it, and do a few other mods, you supposedly can run the originally 100hp 8k RPM engine into a 20k RPM, god-knows-how-much-HP fire breathin' bad-ass motor. I have a friend that had an '80 Rx7, street ported, reduction pullies, 4brl carb, manifolds, Racing Beat intake and exhaust, and an '83 rearend (with the limitedslip diff., and disc brakes). That thing would rev over 11k RPM's, and produce over 200HP.

Yes, but the RX7 and other now-aging sports cars have one thing in common: Engines that are not economical to replace. For the cost of a new 13B rotary I can drop in an LT1 with about 30k miles on it, and get the automatic I want. I'm also much more interested in low and mid-range torque than revving to 11,000 rpm. If I wanted a revver I'd put a VTEC into a 92 or so Civic.

Also, the LT1 can easily be tweaked to give me 370+ hp and still be perfectly streetable. Try THAT with a 13B.

[Nanotech9]

well, the rotaries are still nice though...


speaking of an LT-1... I saw a '93 police crusier from the OHPD (a caprice i think) on autotrader. They said it had an LT-1 in it.. no wonder those cars can accelerate sooo damn fast!.

[Loki]

oooo such a difficult question since I'm such a car nut.
I plan on having one of those evironmentally controlled garage's..hehe

Here's a few of my fav's:

1. Porche 911 Turbo Ruff Edition (year will be newest one available)
2. Bentley Mulliner Continetal R
3. Aston Martin DB7 Coupe
4. Mercedes E55
5. BMW M5
6. Ferrari 550 Maranllo

OOO I had a 928 S4...that car was sooo nice and damn fast...did 120 in 3rd gear on the freeway believe it or not. Clutch was so touchy that you barely let up on it and it would burn rubber. ;)
