Make that a real 550 and not the Beck replicar that's sitting there and I'd agree.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Only photo I could find quickly.  Real only.

I'd sell my wife's soul for the Beck.

Too bad I already sold my soul for a night in bed with that hot chick from my high school art class back when I was 18.

And yes, it was worth it!   :cheers:

Eh, even if I was uber-rich I probably wouldn't buy any of these cars in this thread, other than a dedicated track car (ie: Ariel Atom) or an offroader/suv I don't see the point in a car that you wouldn't want to daily drive and/or go on a long road trip.

None of the cars posted so far would be incapable of either.

I didn't say capable, I said want. I wouldn't want to daily drive a classic Ferrari, a Ghibli, or a F1.

Exceptions would be the 599 (which is ugly anyway) and the 911 Turbo (which I would buy).

The only car I posted that I wouldn't drive everyday is the Viper.

The drivetrain weighs more than my entire car though.. (they said in comments the motor is 1200lbs, tranny etc.. another 1500lbs...)

You would drive a million dollar super car everyday? How exactly would the Diablo deal with a steep driveway or a tight bank drive through? What about all of those older cars in a traffic jam, would they overheat? What if you needed to go on an overnight trip, how would your GT handle luggage for two people?

What I am saying is that I don't see the point in having multiple cars if the extras aren't track day specials or offroaders.

Don't get me wrong, I lust over many of these cars posted, but I would never buy one of them even if I had the money (or an extra soul).

That seems too heavy.  Twelve hundred pounds seems a bit high (I recall that the complete 5.9L in that gen of Ram weighed 975 lbs. without fluids).  I don't know where they are getting 1500 lbs. for the tranny, that number seems way too high.  I couldn't find any info regarding weight for that specific transmission, but the Allison transmission in the GMC 3500 trucks weighs 330 lbs. without fluid.  A Ford C6 tranny weights about 218 lbs. with fluid.  With that, I find it highly unlikely for the Dodge 47RE to weight that much.  If you took the weight of the whole drivetrain (transfer case, front and rear driveshafts, axles, etc.), then 1500 pounds seems more realistic, but that Monte isn't 4WD, and that transmission by itself isn't 1500 lbs.

Yeah, 1500 is probably the total weight, which aint that huge of a weight increase from whatever V8, especially if you got 2000 lb/ft of torque.

If this is a heavy truck transmission, 1500 lbs is well within reason.
