[Garfield 2]

Pretty straight forward and simple. If you could have ANY 5 cars in your garage, what would they be?

For me it would be this:






BMW M5 E34
Mercedes-Benz S-Class W221
Audi A8 D4
BMW E32
Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06

[sivispacem]

Ferrari 330 P4 Spyder for showing off


Audi RS6 (preferably MTM tweaked) for load lugging


Porsche 997 GT3 RS for weekend fun


Mk5 R32 for daily driver duties


E36 M3 (extensively) tweaked for track work. Ideally with a race specced M60B30.

Kenworth K100 Aerodyne
E24 M6
914-6 GT
Deville with a 12 valve 6bt Cummins
Monster Buggy on 54's

[Garfield 2]

Fan of ferrari, eh?

[Mark]

Nice choices so far.

Barring actual real world use (cause God knows they'd be crap on a day to day basis), top 5 in the garage would be:











Ford RS200
Lancia Stratos
Audi RS5
McLaren F1 GTR Longtail
Lotus Exos T125

[Benzoboy]

All of those three for showing off and having fun



For daily use



Because I've always wanted one

[Lurch]

So for the ones that have full-on serious race cars that aren't street legal, how are you getting them to the track?

(hypothetically of course)

[Mr.c TO the J]

@Lurchs question, extremely valid point, I've seen some wicked amazing daily driven car used for track use, but all these people wanting full blown race cars with no way to get them there is kinda funny. And damn that Deville is wicked.

Ok my top 5 are:
1.Nissan S30Z (280z), no swap in it, just the L28, tuned of course
2.E36 M3 Tuned but still within daily driver limits, though I proboly would save my next one for a daily driver
3.Subaru Impreza 22B STi, 100% stock, for a daily driver
4.Ruf CTR "Yellowbird"
5.1969 427 Yenko Camaro

Mainly chose 5 with in the bounds of usability, there are load’s of others I’d love to have but yeah, that and I wanted to get one from every major car producing continent

RS6 + Towbar + Trailer.

[Illousion]

HERE COMES ILLOUSIONS sh*tTY AMERICAN CAR LIST!
First of, a Dodge St. Regis. It would be a weekend cruiser that's always garaged under a car cover and it would be washed at least once a week.


Second, a 76ish Cadillac Seville that would fall under the same description as the St. Regis.


Third car would be a ~1976 Ford Country Squire. It would be a daily driver.


Fourth would be a 1977-78 Ford Ranchero, that I'd use to haul parts and stuff around.


And fifth would be a 1965 Buick Electra. Would look pretty much like this one, only it would have a 6.2 LS3 and matching transmission hooked up to the original column shifter for that ultra-sleeper feeling. Would be used for dragracing and such.


And before you ask, no I would not want a Ferrari or an M5. They just don't fascinate at all, unlike old detroit steel.

Um...no.

Maximum Towing - Not recommended

RS6+tow bar+trailer = crumpled unibody and and possibly bottomed out suspension (unless you have coilovers with spring rates so high they flat out do no move at all). Tires over there max load limit could be a problem too.

Taking into account that your race E36 probably weighs 2500 or more and that a basic car hauler will most likely weight at least 1500, there's 4000 lbs. or more or less the max for your basic 1/4 ton pickup. Not to knock Audi, but was anything in it designed to handle a 9000 lbs gross?

Leave the tow business for the trucks....or at least a slightly heavier duty Taureg/Cayanne/Q7 or maybe a Hilux. Something with a frame would be preferable.

Hypothetically and all.

Quite right there. That I did not know.
As it's not a car...

Should have it covered...

[Lurch]

You might be all right with that. Maybe...


Or better yet.





Perfect for hauling the 330.
