[mXm] andy19 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 So here's a doozie. Let's limit it to 3, but if you won the lottery, what would be your first car purchases? Mine: Caterham R500 for summer Subaru Impreza WRX STi for winter (of course with some subtle elegant modifications) Dodge Viper ACR just because it's been one of my favourite cars since I was a kid.

[mXm] gordy Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 My first car would be a Koenigsegg Agera R then I would have Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670–4 SuperVeloce...for the winter times lastly I would probably buy a BMW M5 Runner up would be a Ferrari 458 Italian andy19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I love the 458 Italia, such a fantastic car. You're definitely going all-out, eh? I forgot, I also want a Zonda R. But I also want to be somewhat frugal. I could probably easily spend an entire powerball winnings on cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Oh this is fun. I have thought about this for a long time. First up, I have a long standing deal with Kory. So I will use one of my 3 for that promise... Aston Martin DB9 Second up would be my daily... BMW M5 Then, the Eagle Speedster Why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPOdCEqsHC0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Cars would be my hobby, but I would be buying the cars I loved as a kid E28 BMW M5 1972 Nissan Skyline GT-R Of course, I would have a stable of VW's, but the joy of the collection would be a Mk1 GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balz, I don't think that sound is worth the styling of the car. It also reminds me of something you mentioned when we were doing the lap challenges on Forza - it sounds like an angry bee (a quote you said about the Mazda Furai). I'm surprised a 510 wasn't on your list. Or just a huge list of old EDM. Speaking of which, where's the 510? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Oh and here's the inpsiration for this topic. Powerball winner says first purchase is $30,000 1992 NSX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely have a pair of these, the coupe and the wagon. Funky little cars. Maybe cram a late model Nissan straight six under the hood. As for EDM, I didnt want to bore but you are right. I would want the following. Lotus Carlton Peugeot 205 GTi Lancia Delta Intregrale Just to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] gordy Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I forgot to add this to my list. Also i would like to have a supra if I had extra cash, love those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Someone fix that wiener mobile with a cowprint, only then, will it be fit for a Gordy, lol. Andy, I am trying to find a video link to a TopGear film where they posed the question, "Purely based on sound, what cars would you use to recreate the famous chase scene from Bullitt" They sampled V12's, V10's V8's and inline 6's. The Speedster fell in the last category. I am telling you, that car sounds fucking awesome. Also remember you're listening over your crappy laptop speakers. Edit: Found it http://www.streetfire.net/video/top-gear-at-the-movies-2011_part-1_2337760.htm Click on part 2 over on the right side of the video panel, and start at 1:27 to watch the first part of the segment, then jump to part four and start at 6:30. The Speedster is showcased at the beginning of part 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] gordy Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 One of my favorite sounding cars is the Porsche carrera gt. It just sounds raw and mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smXRbVZZZgc This about the best video I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got to hear it with quality headphones/PC sound controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
