I'll get the GT2, Lambo, and the Ferrari.

I'll then put the GT2 engine in back of the Lambo and swap the
F-car's rear glass hatch onto the Lambo so I can finally enjoy the boxer engine in all its glory

 

So lets say you had a choice in an Ultimate garage, what would be in it, but in a realistic obtainable sense. I know everyone wants Mclaren F1'S, Zondas, Cgt's etc. Here is the garage im striving for:

Diablo SV
Murcielago
Gallardo
88 1/2 Countach
78 Countach LP 400S
Dodge Viper GTS
Porsche Gt2
Lotus TT v8
Bentley Arnage

 

All good, except for the Arnage, why not the Phantom?

 

Phantom hasnt grwn on me yet, but in the future, i may change the Arnage to a Phantom, or also a Maybach. They depreciate like crazy and offer good value used.

 

Why a GT2??? That's a crappy car that doesn't hang with any Lambo...

 

Everyone needs a beater.

 

Which of your 3 cars is a beater now?

 

None. I have a Cadillac Sts i drive daily.

 

Matt,

With all due respect my friend, you missed the point of my post. I am not advocating the merits of ZO6s, although I do not hold them in the same low regard as you. Rather, I was responding to your comment that, for the price of a Murci, you could purchase a 996TT and modify it to run circles around a Murci, and still have a considerable amount of money left over. Your exact quote was:

In response, I observed that this same argument is often used by owners of ZO6s and SVT Cobras as against people like you and I who pay far more for 996TTs. For less than the price of a stock 996TT, and much less than the price of a modified 996TT, one could purchase a lowly Corvette, drop in a 725 HP 9 second Lingenfelter engine and upgrade the suspension, and have a car that would drive circles around any modified 996TT on this forum (with the possible exception of CJV’s car). Armed with this knowledge, you and I still elected to purchase a more expensive 996TT. Likewise, knowing full well that he could build a monster 996TT for far less than the cost of a Murci, Lambo owners still elect to purchase a Lambo. None of these decisions are right or wrong, and none of these cars are indisputably superior to the other. Rather, it simply comes down to personal preference, and we should strive to respect the personal preferences of other car enthusiasts, including those whose preferences diverge from our own.

No, the only good car in the World is the Porsche GT2 and every thing else sucks and is for poor pathetic losers!

 

Put down the crack pipe and get some fresh air.

 

That's way better than a 996TT.

 

That's debatable, sharkey. I think a Jaguar XJ is a better beater than a Caddy STS

But of course, I'm holding my breath for the ultimate beater, a Cayenne beating Lambo SportsActivityVehicle.

 

Do you have to spell it out and spoon feed Matt?
Give the young Jedi's intelligence some respect

Respect is earned, not given.

Next time walk up to a Z06 owner and tell him how great and amazing his $50k car is. He'll give you way more respect than your silver porsche crest can get you.

 

Well, since here on Maui the parking spaces are so narrow to accomodate all the tourists, its better to get 100's of door dings in a caddy than a Porsche.
