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.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
