as far as production cars go, I would probably have to go with the Diablo roadster


but for about the same money, I could have any one of several "dream cars" built

I call this one the "SuperBat" after the Dodge SuperBee. Big block Mopar power, convertible top and custom interior, all wrapped up in a replica body of the original Batmobile.( a guy in Canada builds them for $55k)...no circus red stripes or bubble canopies...just slick black and ridin low.


I love the last gen of Bonneville. so in the spirit of the SuperBat, I'd like to build a Bonne Speedster...two doors, droptop and slammed over some big rollers.


for custom GPs, this is one of my faves. I call this the GFX. front wheels moved forward three inches, F-body windshield and t-tops and under that huge backlight,a mid-engine LS7...talk about "badazz under glass"...all on Corvette rolling stock.


...and last but not least is my "American Exotic"...the GPF-50...part GP, part Ferrari but all awesome...full tilt twin turbo L67 or maybe even NorthStar power...with the whole back half of the body made from carbon fiber, this one could run with the "Bulls" or the "Prancing Horses"


I could go on but I've been long winded enough...the more realistic dream car will most likey be this...

I'd really love to walk out into my garage and see my GTP along with a GNX, Typhoon, and Cyclone.

I'd take a '69 Camaro SS or a Yenko Camaro. Sorry no good pics that I would actually want one like. Just as long as it was Hugger orange, or Black, and had at least 400hp.

I have always and will always dream of owning a Pantera. Raw V8 power

Mine would be white on white:



Mid engine goodness:



I know it looks archaic but I don't care, its what I want and someday I may have one.
gated shifter and all

I know a guy that used to have a pantera. Its a long story, but he took it to a junk yard and had it destroyed.

Yeah, I know, they are not for the mechanically noninclined. I am well aware of the fallbacks to owning one but still don't care, I will have one, I will!

Yes the rubber bumper is ugly but that is how they were able to get them past U.S. safety standards. Look at some of the older Countachs of the day. They have a similar ugly bumper.

1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. Note its dreamy appearance.



Saturn Sky w/ either a V8 conversion or the redline.


Kawasaki ZX-12R


Overall, I could actually get one or more of these vehicles. But I have other goals that are more desired and will last longer. So these can wait.

Besides, I already have the car I want. I just dig the look laugh
