If you could have any car you wanted, what would it be?

Rules:

1) Cannot be a race car;

2) You can't sell it and take the cash;

3) You have a run about, so it can afford to be impractical.

I would choose the Koenigsegg CCR. For those of you who are not familar with the car, visit (although I'm sure most of you know about it):

http://www.koenigsegg.com/

It was tested in an UK mag and from memory did 0 - 160km's in around 8 secs in the wet.

And it looked spectacular in the flesh at the Sydney motor show last year.

And yes, I know some of the skylines on this forum would probably beat it in a straight line.

After this it would be the usual suspects Enzo, Porsche GT and McLaren F1. Yes, I love super cars (not the Aust V8's)

What are your thoughts?

It uses a Honda Vtec engine from a Civic Type R and the ballistic version has a super charger!! Apparently it does 0-100 in like 2.9 seconds - NUTS

It beat the Koenigsegg and the Porcshe GT and all the other exotics around a UK airport test track designed by Lotus to really compare cars, only the Enzo was faster by a fraction of a second.

The best thing is that this car is only like AU$70K... If you didn't need to carry luggage and parked it in mid winter you'd be laughing and still have money to fork out on a house.

It looks like a mini F1 car

WICKED.

I’m not sure if it’s even been officially released for sale yet & I may not live through the experience but, I’ll take a blue-black Bugatti Veyron. If you can’t be bothered reading about it in the link, the stats:

0-100kmh: 2.9sec

0-300kmh: 14sec

Top speed: 401kmh (with speed limiter)

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the top super cars going around.

www.modernracer.com/features/worldsfastestcars4.html

Not that it's important, but the Koenigsegg in the comparison provided by pkblade is the slower of the two Koenigsegg CC's (it has around 150hp less than the top of the line). Just for the record I think the faster version did a 12.8 quarter at 132 mph in the wet. As you can see, I have an obsession with this car. i realise it is not the fastest car in the world around a track, though it does have the world record for fastest production car, 388km/h.

I love the Bugatti Veyron. Reading about it last night. 0-300km/h in an estimated 14 seconds. I think my skyline would be doing around 155 in that time.

Mental note, never race a Veyron.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
