Post by **szh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 6:50 pm

I voted M5 V10, but would also love the Carrera GT!

Using the assumption you asked about, of course ...

You ever ridden in a Diablo? They aren't cars you drive. They're cars that you look at.

Porsche Carrera GT FTW.

Im very glad to see that no one has chosen the skyline yet, though Im sure its coming

I don't know much about the M5, but having thoroughly checked out the Carrera GT in person Im gonna have to go with that.

M5 V10'cause rear-engine snap-oversteer suuuuuucks.

yah, but kids in the back seat suck

I voted for the BMW, although the Honda Fit was a close second...

Anyway, the M got my vote because from what I've read (never actually seen either car up close) the BMW would be a little easier to live with as a daily driver. Since I spent all of this money on my status symbol, I'd want to be seen driving it.

Besides, I'm not sure if I could reach up to the drive through window at Taco Bell in the Porsche.

when you have a porche, you dont do drive throughs

The M5 V10 is too ugly to drive, and really isn't anything special. I'd rather have a Cadillac STS-V and put the same money into making it insane.

The Porsche is just not my style. It's also painfully ugly. I'm just not a Porsche guy.

I guess I'd go with the R34 GTR.

Nah, I need to show that I'm "down with the common people" every once in a while.

Indeed!But I don't plan on kids, so I just put adults back there or bags of money, or crash-test dummies filled w/ money.

The BMW M5 V10 is ugly? Hmm. I need to look up pics.

edit: I looked up pics and while its not that agressive looking, its definitely nice looking and something I could live with and drive on a daily basis.

Carrera GT. 605 HP. Beautiful. Removable top.

Sure there are faster cars. But none look as good.

And yes, I would do drive-thrus in it. Oreo shakes at jack-in-the-box are awesome and God forbid the car ever be seen in public not doing what it's supposed to....being driven.

Post by **daytona drifter** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 8:33 pm

you show your down with the common people by listing to bob marly with the windows down so every one can hear

sky...you get a vehicle for them to drive separate from you

Yeah but the Porsches stock 3 way adjustable swaybars should be able to help with some of that

Thanks, dude.

I needed a good laugh today.

I didn't see the Batmobile on that list so I can't vote

The Carrera GT is actually mid-engine. There is certainly more weight over the rear than the front, but the moment of inertia should be more forward than in a 911. The engine being mounted towards the rear allows better front aerodynamics, which can reduce front end lift and/or allow better front downforce. Coupled with at the rear end, the GT will reach much higher speeds in corners before the car will be at a point in which any oversteer might occur than in a more mainstream sportscar(probably more than most sportscars). The car can, of course, oversteer with relative ease, but put 605 HP in any RWD car and mash the throttle mid-turn and you'll probably end up with similar results.

I would definately drive Alonzo's F1 car everywhere I went. Through the bank drive through, mc donalds, everywhere.
