Badass video, I love the C6Zs but damn, that 458 is sexy as hell! I would love to drive that thing around. If speed was everything I'd keep my Fbody and keep building it LOL.

If we are talking unlimited money I'll take a LMR 1500hp package for my C6Z over pretty much any car

Some of the above doesn't make sense... good luck DD a Ferrari ad GTR's aren't the best drag car, I'd use the GTR for road race and a Ford GT is to expensive to be street racing all the time. Being practical about your cars makes more sense.

This! plus why would anybody want drive to a car with like 1000hp on the street, unless youre a professional driver you are hitting a tree in like the first 10 seconds lol

Even my dream isnt left alone by a few bastards

OK how about reality

My nsx was for cruising
My viper was for street racing/quartermilin
my nissan quest was for the kids/DD
my dodge ram was for haulin
liberty for mom/my DD if needed


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zryY1sB3K3U


Thats what I did for a few years, now...sold the nsx and got my daughter a DD plus another DD for me

Viper for street racing/cruising
Ram for Haulin
white kia for DD
black kia for daughters DD/my DD if needed
quest for kids (currently needs new fuel pump)
liberty for mom/ my DD if needed

Thats what I did with my cars. My choices.

-To me a GTR is a great drag car. it runs 11.0 at 124 mph with 480 rwhp. tune intake exhaust on a 12 GTR and your consistent mid 10s at 130 mph. That would be an awesome choice (to me) for an easy to launch and shift drag car

-As far as DDing the ferrari. Sometimes Ill drive my Viper for two weeks just because I like it. Ive currently got 6 cars and dont have to DD it but I sometimes will. For me DDing a Ferrai 458 would be quite easy

-FGT is to expensive to street race? Thats all Id do with it and have 50 videos running vipers/zr1s/GTRs and other exotics



Got dammit....Let me post my dream without scrutinization moth0rf0ckers.

What you do with your imaginary cars is your buisness and whats mine is mine

maybe people dd f430's and 458s.... murci and the like.

And the gtr has done a pretty sick job being a drag car at its weight and for what it can also do to a corner.

And people street race the f out of the fgt. go to texas during the supra get together.

if you can afford it then why not do as you wish with your vehicles.

Yep..

Obviously im in no financial situation to be able too DD a f458 and pay 10k a year in maintenance.

But IF I had that kinda money those would be my choices.


Btw I cant decide what I like more. The red f458 in this vid or the red fgt in the other one. Both just amazing!

well killemall i did ask for some pic's of the viper and you certainly gave me some...nice cars in the video...and yeah i do believe you should do what you want with your own money, un-limited or not...

for me though i would own a ferrari 458, aventador lp700 , murcielago lp640 , koenigsegg agera-r , zr1, z06, '73 super duty 455 trans-am, '70 buick gsx stage 2 455 ,'67 corvette l-88 427 and a veyron ss...not much, but that's my top 10 off the top of my head...i can dream i guess....the viper looks great killemall...

Unlimited money? DD duties would go between an F50 Ferrari and the Ferrari CA/Ferrari 599 GTB Aperta.

Lol...

Because it's overkill and funny. Not that it'll be your DD.
Killemall, sell the the Quest and get an Odyssey.
Here's why:

Thanks.. Man youd have some nice rides. But for me I wouldnt have a z06 and a ZR1. Only would want one vette and that would be the more special one.

For me that would be the z06. It just seems more american and special to me than the zr1. The c5z06 laid the ground work beating quite a few cars a vette shouldnt. The c6z06 back in 06 basically was a tornado and devoured everything in its path. Vipers fgt's lambos ferraris porshes ect. The c6z06 is the reason vettes are now viewed with respect from all corners and not just a good car for the money. But a good car for the money that can rape your brand new 06 Gallardo and look sweet while doing it.

Your money so have both if you wanted but would only be room on my island for the best vette

My exact thoughts when I first saw it. 543fwhp in a minivan? There's one way to make your drive more exciting. Drive it to work, have your coworkers laugh at you, then destroy their modded Camaro or mustang. Hehe.

Well I know a few local guys that drive 1000hp street cars daily. They are not pro's either. Yet they haven't hit a tree either. How much power it layts is all in how much you hit the gas.

And why do it...BECAUSE YOU CAN!
