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.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
