Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

top speed on the Veyron is 253mph (406km/h)
0-187.5mph (300km/h) = under 14 seconds

Hah! My Callaway Sledgehammer still beats it!
Top speed: 254.76 mph (409 kph)! big_smile

Not as classy, but it looks so much cooler.

Some people might say it's splitting hairs, but as far as the chicks are concerned, that three-quarters of a mile an hour at the top end makes all the difference in the world.

Wow, that's fast.

Hmm... need a good retort...

AHA!  Well, my Bugatti still has room for tuning!  AND it has a V-16!

I only like the Bug so much because I'm impressed by its uncompromising design... I mean, it's got every feature you'll find in the best gizmoyuppieluxurysedan WITHOUT using plastic (metal and leather, thank you), AND it still beats the pants off them all.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

Not that the exotics aren't beautiful and fast, but I still have to stick with good old American muscle.  There is just something about the hemi cuda and the 1968 charger that make me all tingly inside  big_smile

As a refresher, here is a convertible hemi cuda when you want the wind in your hair

And the 1968 Charger

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

I think I'd disqualify any vehicle that requires a humongous crew to operate; this is about personal fantasies, so if you need more than yourself and maybe one or two buddies to run it, it should be off the list. That would mean no Star Destroyers (or Mon Calamari cruisers, etc.) and almost none of the major Star Trek ships; I do believe the Heart of Gold would be a legit candidate, though (and probably the best possible choice, since it could be any of the other ships [or rather, improbably, as the case may be]...).

Where's Buckaroo's jet car, dammit?!?

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

I want a hummer. A real-deal hummer too not one of those crappy H2s. Just because I wanna paint it black with black windows and drive over crap. A tank would be dope too...HMMMMM
I DARE anyone to hit either of them!!!! The insurance claim on that! WOW. It sure beats my pretty new honda that everyone seems to wanna hit   sad

couldnt have said it any better myself - old school hummers kick ass.

HUMMER

they have a new one called the H2 SUT - i think its missing the L there.

POS H2s. H1s for life. they now have a 6 stacker too, so you can play your destruction tunez while charging hardcore thru the bush.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

Does voltron count as a vehicle. If not, the silverhawks thing that Bluegrass drove.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

hey! I would have voted for the Ghostbuster's car, but it wasn't one of the options.  I guess the batmobile will do.

Re: Your fantasy vehicle!

batmobile all the way. classic or modern. The batwing was pretty tite too. Also the batmobile in batman beyond was pretty awesome. I also think batman was the best superhero besides spwan. I hated that movie so much.


The bugatti is alot nicer than the calleway. btw i think but am not sure that its quad turbocharged. Plus I wouldn't want to mess around with something that costs about a million dollars.


Some people are claiming the new lingentfeller corvette does 0-60 in under 2 seconds but i still can't really belive that. the one a few years ago did 0-60 3.4
