2 Car Lottery Challenge

[FlatBlackCaddy]

This really is a tough one, do you go out like a pagani or keep it simple like a V10 R8 or 911.

Well, i'll need a daily driver. I'll fire from the hip and say a new E63 AMG.

As for the fun car, which would see more street than track given my current time(however given lottery winning status i would have plenty of time for track events), i'd still have to go for something outragous.

Pagani zonda F for the weekend toy.

The pagani was the hardest pick, since a V10 R8/new 458 Italia, Porsche GT3 and so many others would be fantastic cars. However none of them can touch the pure insanity of back road bombing in a zonda F.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

A Zonda has no place on a public road, nor does a Spyker. It would be useless to try to have any fun in them if you want to keep your license.

You've got lottery money bitch, when you get pulled over for doing 130 in a 55 just start throwing them hundreds out the window.

But cops yelling at me is cold prickly feelings.

In your naughty place?

Well with lottery money you can get that fixed too.

Damn this is fucking TOUGH.

I'm assuming running costs are a non-issue?

BMW 760i, Porsche 911 GT3 997. 760 would be all fuckin Alpina'd out w/an exhaust, some multimedia (I'm sure it comes with a bit though). NOT a 760Li, the LWB ones are ugly. Every time I see a SWB E63 I swoon. An XF would be cool... E63 or M5 wagon too but meh they are compromises. The 760i is an executive car through and through.

The GT3 is good cause IMO it doesn't compromise like an M3 or Aston Martin or w/e. It's raw. But while it's def exotic, it's not like a Ferrari in that it would be unreliable or TOO exotic to drive to the supermarket when I'm bored with the Bimmer. GT3 is a sports car for sure, no questions about it... but it's not Italian (too temperamental) or British (also too temperamental as TVR, or boring IMO like Aston Martin)

OK that was actually pretty easy.

I'd get a Spyker before I'd get a Zonda.  No, wait, I'd get a Spyker, 993 Turbo S, used Continental GT, E39 M5, E46 M3, and a Lotus Elise before I'd get a Zonda.

A Spyker? 

Not even in the same league as a Zonda.

1. LP 640 Roadster
2. Sierra Denali crew cab (for all the toys I'll have to haul around)

[Raza]

Tough, tough, tough.  I consider the ideal number of cars to be five, but I can cut that down to three if I really had to.  But two!? 

I'm assuming used cars are in play? 

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster (6MT)
Volvo V70R (6MT)

[Minpin]

Ok, given it some thought here...

Wiesman MF 3
Chevy Silverado 1500

When you can only have two something ridiculous like a Zonda is just poor judgement.

How is a Wiesman less ridiculous?  The Zonda will probably be more reliable.

Silverado 1500? SILVERADO 1500? You put no thought into that. Fuck.

[the Teuton]

Lingenfelter Silverado?

[hotrodalex]

Lingenfelter Silverado?

Still not as cool as an H1 with a 572 making 700 hp and ft/lbs.

1. LP 640 Roadster
2. Sierra Denali crew cab (for all the toys I'll have to haul around)

I'd get a Super Veloce, but I'm guessing you want the roadster part?

[Minpin]

Silverado 1500? SILVERADO 1500? You put no thought into that. Fuck.

I would need a truck to tow my boat/trailer.

Lingenfelter Silverado?

That's stupid(er).

Not talking about reliability. 

[Submariner]

Why do all you guise have hard-ons for these Zondas? They're pure junk.

You're right.  How did we miss that?

[Submariner]

Zonda...when I want to trash everything on the road in style
Veyron...when I want to obliterate everything on the road in slightly less style.

[Madman]

If I won the lottery, I'd send both my Volvos in for a complete from-the-ground-up restoration.  I mean re-do everything down to the last nut and bolt.  Then I'd drive them for another twenty years.

Even though both cars are pretty solid, I think it would be cool to have an essentially brand new 740 and 240.


Yeah, I REALLY need help!

Spyker... If I want to roll around in a car whose interior looks like a brothel.

Gumpert... If I want to roll around in a car whose interior more resembles a german S&M dungeon.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Yep!

[BimmerM3]

Hmm, this is tough.

My first thought for my DD would be a Quattroporte or a Panamera, but I'm not sure I could live without a true manual. My next thought from there are M5 and M3, and I think I'd probably end up with the M3.

Now the second car... man, I don't know. It's a tough choice between going classic, going balls-to-the-walls crazy, or seeing if we can find something that could scare the crap out of me without me being afraid to take it on the street. I've always loved BMW 507s and while I wouldn't want to drive one too hard, I'm sure the M3 would provide enough thrills to satisfy me, even on track days. However, we all know that even though the M3 is a splendid compromise between daily driver and sports car, it'll never be the same as a true, dedicated sports car.

Which brings us the balls-to-the-walls, don't want to drive it on the streets, totally insane, engineering masterpieces. Only a few cars truly qualify for this list, for even the heralded Ferrari Enzo is now bested by the comparitively mundane F430 Scuderia around Ferrari's own test track. Speed, of course, isn't the only factor here, but exclusivity and history are also factored in to our list. Here we have cars such as the CLK-GTR, Ferrari F40, F50 and FXX, Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Reventon and Pagani Zonda F. However though, were I to go this route in selecting my second car, I'd look no further than the McLaren F1.

However, what's the point of having a car that you're afraid to drive around? Now I'd be looking at maybe an F430 roadster (or 458 Italia if they're available when I'm buying), Ferrari California, Lamborghini LP 640 roadster, or possibly even one of the limited run Ford GT converts. Ultimately though, I'd end up with a 599 convertible, even if I had to get Pininfarina to custom build me one. It's such a sexy car, and with the Enzo sourced engine and no roof, I don't see what else you could possible want.

[sportyaccordy]

I wouldn't want to own a car I couldn't drive on the streets of NY (meaning it would have to have a decent enough ride for bad streets, and it would have to be reliable enough not to break down in the ghettos). Cars you can't enjoy driving everywhere seem a little pointless to me.

[nickdrinkwater]

That's nice.  Got any more pics?

[Raza]

My list is still the best. 

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Sure it is.

[sportyaccordy]

Damn Raza's list is pretty good. The S60R/V70R are beyond sleeper status... they almost look exactly like the regular ones outside of the wheels.

Or you could just dump a Supercharged 572 into a crown victoria...

Yeah, I figured with a list of only two cars, and no restrictions on modifying, I could do whatever I wanted to them if I had a good base.  The V8 Roadster is a great looking car, lighter and tauter than a DB9, and Aston is very open to customizing a car for you.  The Volvo hits on every other front; it's fast, reliable, can be modified, practical, and good in bad weather.  I could take it grocery shopping, or drive it out to the park and launch a kayak off it, without it having to be a monstrous SUV I'd never want to drive.

Someday, I'd like to turn a Volvo 240 into a hot rod with flat black paint with red stencil flames, copper wheels with chrome dog-dish hubcaps, and a Chevy 350 with flames shooting out the tips of dual glasspack mufflers

Wouldn't be one of my 2 lottery cars, of course

Sorry, but I don't. Here's the company's website though.
