If you won the lottery, what car would you buy?
My first choics is the Bugatti Veyron.
Second choice is the Porsche Carrera GT
These cars are all in quite different price ranges, but the F430 gets my vote.
It really depends on what lottery I won. I mean, if I won a $300 million powerball, I'd be all over the Veyron, but if I won a $2.5 million 6/49 then I still couldn't even afford to get my name on a list for one.
Also, some of those cars are already out of production. I think if I won the lottery, whatever I'd buy I'd buy new. I'd want the whole experience.
So then... I think If I won anything less than $5 million, it would be the Z06 and if I won more than that, it would likely be the F430 Spider.
I will buy mint RX7 from ebay or whatever and swap LS1 engine into it. it is the dream of my life :D
But isn't Wankel's rotary what makes the RX-7 unique?Quote:

I would keep the rotary and shoot flames out of the dual exhaust all night long.
I'd take the carrera gt!
my 2nd choice would be Koenigsegg CCX
I'd have to say the Zonda would be my choice, but it'd have to be at least $20mil. Other than that a huge garage, stable full of sport compacts, a lift, full range of tools and lotsa parts to put in the SC's :)
I'm not sure I'd buy any of those. I'd likely just pick up a BMW M5 and put the rest in the bank.
Have fun insuring a Veyron
Only insurance companies that insure private jets and high end yachts will even consider insuring that vehicle
Me... Its not on the list but I want the GT3

Lotus Exige =D
I would have liked to have more cars on the list. But there was only space for 10.
But If I did win, I think I would need at least a 20 car garage ;)
A nice big fully accessorized garage a '34 Ford 3w coupe (with vette underpinnings of course) and from the list, I've always loved Porsche.
But the F1 should have been on the list too.

Hmmm If I won right now.... Id buy some killer house in Oakville that I fly over every day at work........ then Id get a winter ride ....Range Rover Sport Supercharged and pimp it out..... and an Audi R8.... best car I have ever seen or touched! Oh yes! it will be mine! ;) Then a nice cottage in Muskoka..... and a place in South Beach. And a Piaggio Avanti II (google it), to fly my wife(s) around in.... gotta get to South Beach in style ;) btw.... the Avanti is the Ferrari of planes.... no... seriously.... it is actually built buy ferrari ;)
Great choice! That would be high on my list.Quote:

I like the look of that Hamann 599 GTB Fionaro
That's one nice looking plane. Seems to be around 7-8 mil US though..... Might have to be a big lottery win :)Quote:

But the operating cost of it is pretty slim as the engines are very very efficient and the plane is very light. She is one hell of a nice ride though! Enzo my ass! My ferrari will go over 500mph! :PQuote:

I'm surprised more people didnt pick the Veryon! I picked it. Can you say ultimate car?
I mentioned it in my post. Even winning 10 million doesn't give you enough to be able to afford the Veyron. This post asked what you'd buy if you won the lottery... not if you were Bill Gates. :)Quote:

Owning a high priced vehicle takes more than some people think. Even with a modest 2.5mil, by the time you're done with living expenses and what not, you won't have enough to own and maintain a "supercar".
Of course, if you win the 20Mil jackpot, and you absolutely need a "supercar" I would try to find an F50. It's not on the list but it is one of the cars I've always dreamed of.
I would feel extremely guilty driving something extravagant like this around T.O.
Which is why I would probably stick with my FD and get a Miata PRHT for my winter beater.
I would end up investing alot of the money so the rest of my family will never have to worry about money again.
that would be sexy!!Quote:

the question is, what car would you buy if you had unlimitted loot!
no one would buy most of these cars with 2.5 mil!
I thought I answered the question?? lol
The car isn't on the list. The F50 would be the Supercar I would get if money was no object.
Of the cars listed above, each has their own strengths, but none of them I would want to own.
If I had to choose from the list above, it would probably be the F430 with the manual gearbox.
I'm a big Ferrari fan, but lately the cars coming from the Prancing Horse are not doing anything for me.
I have great respect for the Enzo. But the bloody thing comes with the flappy padel gearbox. Something that would annoy me if I had to drive the car on a regular bases.
The next 2 I would seriously consider would be the Zonda F and the Porsche GT. Both offer out of this world styling and exclusivity. But again, it's the small things that will annoy me.
For example, the projector headlights. I can't stand how the industry is going this route. Projectors seriously compromise light output. Despite the fact these cars come with HID's.
Storage space is another big annoyance. You would think a car costing this much would at least have a bit of storage to take a small suitecase or 2. The Zonda F's storage is nonexistent. Same goes with the GT since it's roof is stored in the front compartment.
I can't imagine rear visibility being great in the Carrera GT. The Zonda F would fair better, but again the car is so wide it's hard to judge how far you can wander over the line.
A few things annoy me with the F430 as well. Aside from the Projectors, it's the damn traction control system. I don't like the fact that you have to keep turning the system off whenever you restart the car. I don't like the whole traction control period!
You're buying a sports car. True sports cars don't come with handicap devices.
Which is why I choose the F50 for my supercar purchase! :cool:
Are you a Formula 1 driver or do you just watch too much Top Gear??
Normal people need traction control in cars like these.
