The ultimate car





253 mph, stock. Luxury interior. Watch the video from the Top Gear guys, and you'll fall in love too (sorry I dont have link).

5. Nice lines. Is it only a 2-seater, though?
MrShine used to have a convertible Mazda RX7. It was a sweet ride, but we called it "The Selfish Car" b/c it only seated two people and wasn't exactly "family-friendly". :D

:hi:

6. Is that a Bugatti?
Saw one in a magazine once and said.........oooooooooooh yes, I like it. However even if I could afford one I just couldn't spend that kind of money on a car.

7. too bad it's uglier than sin's grandma
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 11:13 AM by Blue_Tires
i'm not doubting the performance, but there is nary a stretch of road in the world where any potential buyers of that car can safely reach 200, much less 250...

9. really? I think its gorgeous
and yeah, not many roads you can do that (which is why Top Gear used the once top secret volkswagen test site). But I best I could get it up to that on my drive from Denton, Tx to Santa Fe, NM. Have you ever seen flat? Talk about a boring drive

23. The Saleen S7 is a better choice than the Veyron


The Bugatti is 2 or 3 tenths faster 0-60 and in the 1/4. Top speed doesn't matter unless you live in Nevada or something, and I promise that any less than a professional driver on any actual road will shit him/herself at 253 mph.

Besides, mine's built in America and I can probably get it fixed at my local Ford dealer.

Now, what to do with that million bucks I saved by going with the Saleen?

30. 1954 BMW 502 - gorgeous
But then I have tons of cars I consider ultimate cars. Strangely, they all seem to be oldies.

36. I don't think there is a US dealership, although there is one in Canada.
It would be so much fun to drive that around.
