Nothing super exotic for me I'd select a small group of attractive cars.

The most exotic would be an R34 GTR.

Other than that:

Infiniti QX4Infiniti 2k3 M45 (or Q45) w/ Keuylian SuperCharger Infiniti G35 Coupe six speed w/ Brembos.

Fred..:)

i'd definately get a G35 SC w/ the brembos, have some upgraded rotors, and slightly more aggressive pads put on...then have an RB26DET (single turbo conversion w/ a T61) and the 2.8L kit swapped in w/ a 6 spd rebuilt RWD transmission swapped...carbon hood, trunklid, doors, bumpers, driveshaft, custom molded interior replacement pieces, all plastic pieces are replaced w/ carbon fiber...:ylsuper

it would be so awesome!

6 Skylines, well, 8 actually... 2 R32 VspecIIs, 2 R33 Vspecs, 2 R34 Vspecs, and 2 400Rs. One of each to tune, and one to keep perfect for my own little museum.A Tommy Kiara ZZIIA BMW M5 (gotta have my travelling sedan)Ferrari 360 Modena (sex on wheels, for pimping out of course)and a Kunigsburg (I think that's how it's spelled),I'm sure there's more, but that covers the basics.

I still believe I have the fastest CAR (eg no tomahawk) in my lot. Ford RS2000 Evo. 0-60 in high 2sec-low 3sec. AWD 2.1L (or 2.3L i forgot) turbo 700hp or so....Next fastest and arguably the best handling...Caterham S7 R500 =) even faster than a Mclaren F1 in some tests...

Nice additions I didnt think of, ZZII....KPGC10...TVR Speed12...Ferrari F40 (although Im not a big fan of italian exotics), like the Chaser too =) Except SCREW R33 UGH! Not capable of 0-100 torque split (eg, 10-90 max to rear wheels)??? NO THANK YOU.

I was talking mostly of STOCK consumer cars (eg, no race only cars and no S14 with RB or whatever). Although cars from tuning shops count like Tommy Karia and Dinan or whatever..

You mean GTS-T right? cause a non-turbo Skyline would be a waste...

Actually, the Hennessy Viper 800TT (833bhp / 902lb-ft) does 0-60 in 2.4 secs, 0-100 in 5.5 and finishes the 1/4 in 9.9 secs at 138.95mph. Top speed = 230mph! :cool: And it still is capable of 1.06g on the skidpad! The RS2000 Evo, however, does 0-60 in 3.0 secs, 0-100 in 6.5 secs, and the 1/4 in 10.9 secs (too slow... ;)). Although it would definetly be cool to have the AWD in such a high-power turbo 2.1L Inline 4. :)

I would try to get the Buggati Veyron,AWD V16 quadturbo, 0-60 in 1.9-2.0 seconds(two different magazines, two different numbers, go figure). Then McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo,Koenigsegg(sp?), Twin turbo Hennessy Viper in both generations, R32 R33 and R34 gtr skylines. I actualy think the very first thing I would do would be to finish my car the way I was going to do it before

Ah yes, I forgot about those two (veyron and henessy viper)...but Id still prefer the rally bred performance/history (including it being BANNED cuz its too fast to be safe hehe) of the RS2000 Evo. Not to mention I think the Veyron looks ugly. =)

I will add the 510 as well, forgot =)

If I were rich I would buy those rare cars used in classic movies like The General Lee or the Batmobile. Oh, and I'd want that 1 car Bruce Lee drove in the Green Hornet. Anyone see the move American Graffitti? Hehe.

Plus, I'd definately have a 550 Maranello, Skyline Nur, Mazda 787B, Silvia S15, Porshe GT1, Nissan R390, Toyota GTOne, Veyron16-4, Viper GTS-R, Corvette C5R, Shelby Mustang GT350, Lotus Espirit, and tons of other cars that other people named.

My daily driver? A Q45 Limo. :D

I just learned in economics that to bill gates, buying a $600,000 ferrari is like spending 79 cents. So in conclusion: if i were as rich as bill gates, I would buy one of every car ever made and a very large garge.

Well, "my" Koenig Ferrari F50 wins for having the single-coolest feature of any car listed....

i'd buy a open wheel sports car, and a garage at a track with some techs close at hand to fix the car when it needs.

daily driver would be a 1994 Q45 retained by T3 with top of the line stereo. My off-road car would be an new land rover, and my fun car would be a 260z with mods to make it more modern and comfortable.

I would get a 4-door R34 for my wife. or perhaps a Q45 for my wife and a 4-door skyline for me?

Someone listed the Audi RS6, which is WAY better than a TT and an A8 combined =)

For the money, the Super 7 R500 pretty much has F1 speed, with better handling IIRC. Its about 30-40K I think, but since this isnt about money...Id still take the Super 7 over the F1. The Super 7 just LOOKS and (I can only imagine) FEELS like a REAL race car. Besides, the F1 is SO played out =P If I was all rich, why would I want a car that EVERY other rich guy has? LOL
