No, merely frustrated with your stupidity.
I can just see you now as one of those adolescents that get a Supra and mod it and go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in a straight line an then hurt some granny crossing the road in the process, Oh YOOPPEE DEEEE straight line speed.
If I recall, the Gumball rally is on public roads. Hope you don't cause any accidents involving grannies.
I also have an S2000, built for the corners. The Supra I bought is the one from www.otcsupra.com which was open tracked by the previous owner. I plan to open track one of my cars this year.
Well sonny there are loads of bends on European highways and your proposed solution to something you will never ever partisipate in is a NO NO.
"Bends"
Nothing close to a racetrack. Also, learn to spell you fucking cock monkey.
I think I will stick with the Porsche, do the 2004 Gumball and all the others and leave you to dream about it.
Dream about what? Is it supposed to be some amazing fucking event?
BTW what has "TOPBUCKS" got to do with a gumball thread
What the FUCK do race tracks have to do with Highways?
all other comments to my person will be ignored.
RACEMAN <---- guy doing it and not writing about it
Supras are fast, but they are also old, and cant compare to the looks of the exotics.
Fast and Furious made them popular, but look at what you need to do to make them fast ? If you dump that much money into any car, you will make it fast.
Originally posted by Donnie Gangsta I want to race in this..... I wonder if I could buy a used modena or similar in Europe and sell it after the race...? Does anyone have any referrals for this.....
Cum Sensei, I'm about the same height as you and have a Carrera Cabrio and is plenty comfortable...
this sounds cool
Got any pics of the car?
Do you have a cab? Or are they only avalible in cap?

Yeah true. Although mine is in mint condition.

I'm quoting for prices for a 1200+ horsepower, 200+ mph beast with everything you could put on one.
My car has about $10,000 into engine parts and puts out 686 horsepower to the rear wheels. That's over 800 measured at the crank. Hard to get a Lambo, Ferreri, or Porsche to put out numbers like that without spending incredible amounts of money.
to ajpiii: Well, if you do not like, this is just your opinion. It is not possible that each car likes for all people. For example, i do not like mercedes and bmw.

True, but the Gumball has a certain image to maintain. People dont want to see everyday cars running it, they want to see the out of reach exotics doing what their ment to do.
I dont think huggles fully understands gumball, its not about having a 1200 horsepower car.
A good example is on the gumball DVD where some civillians pull up next to the british guy in the silver Porsche Twin Turbo, and yell out "I know a guy whos car will beat you" , and the gumballer says "this isnt a race, its a rally"
WOW Sloane have you just hit the nail on the head or what ....
I think "Huggles" did miss the point, but it was fun playing with him.
Its always been a "rally" and not a race and as a racing driver I saw it as a race, but then I thought arrr fuck it you don't get a prize for being there first.
You just have to enjoy the whole experience

"ILLEGITIMIS NON CARBORUNDUM" <-- "DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU DOWN"
i know, but i got used to it. because there exist so little of them i had to make some compromises. i decided to buy that one in a perfect technical condition and not to care about the colour.
the advantage is: if you search for your car on a large parking ground you find it at once. its the only one in that colour.
erehwon, hey matey, if your really serious about doing 2005 then hit me up on ICQ and we can chat about it, I have like 5 people who really wanna do next years.

Depending on where you live or how much you are willing to spend this is my suggestion.
Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
The car is not sold in the USA yet you can have them imported though MotoRex. It will cost you nearly 100K for the R34 GT-R but its a damn good car. The car is all wheel drive and its pushing on a Twin Turbo setup. The engine is a RB26DETT which makes it a 6cyl 2.6L DOHC TwinTurbo. The car is rare and sexy as all hell. The handling is great. Dont let the fact its a 6cyl 2.6L down, the car has balls to back it up. + the fact you will be one of a very few who has one at the race. Everyone and their mother at that race has a lamborghini or some pop. exotic car. You will get many looks when you pull up in a R-34 GT-R Also this car has a 6speed transmission. The only downfall (if you are a driver in the USA) is that its Righthand drive. It will only take you like 3days to get use to it. But if you are not willing to drive on the righthand side of a car, MotoRex (i believe) offers a LHD swap which will put you on the normal american driving side.
The Skyline is a wonderful car and one of the finest builds that came from Nissan. I have seen modified R34 GT-R built up to well over 1000hp.
Hey Raceman, where are those pics already? dig faster!
With any luck I may tag along on a run, hardly this year tough
I used to have a BMW 740, its of course a very comfortable car, and probably a good choise against the MB S-class as it is cheaper and would perform better in this case.. But its not that exclusive.. if they put alot of weight on what car you drive, you may want to find something else.

Here is a pic of a R34 GT-R
Best of luck choosing your race car
Gimme a fucking break. I don't understand why people are constantly drooling over the Skyline. The GTR only went for roughly $40K during its production in Japan. The car's value is not and will never be anywhere near $100K.
Living in the USA you will have no choice but to pay 100K to get it legal on the streets.
With the car not made here we must pay for everything,
Car
Shipping overseas
Crash testing
emission testing
Title Build
Storage (while being tested)
all comes out to 90-100K USD
I am not one who goes crazy about the skyline since the stupid rice movie, I have been a Nissan owner and loved them all my life. The Skyline is a wonderful car. It has alot of power and style. The car is a 6cyl which can keep up with 10-12cyl build RACE races.
I never thought about the Skyline, that is in fact a very amazing car, uuuummmm and you can but a virtually new one in the UK for about £34,000
I didnt have a clue where about you lived, thats why i just did for the USA.

Any cars value is whatever the buyer thinks it is. If I had 100K i wouldnt spend it on bring a R34 to me, I would spend it on bringin me to the skyline. I believe the car is damn worth the money people pay for it. I have talked to a few skyline owners though a Nissan Infiniti car owners club (NICOclub.com) and they are extremly happy with the outcome. Having a car that is more rare then a lamborghini is amasing. The R34 is just so much more rare, There is only about 4 personal owned R34 Skylines in the USA. There is a small handful of R32 and R33 owners though.
And why do you not like the skyline? are you one of the people who hate something because others like it? If so then you needa grow up, Yes that movie ruined the skyline name and now everyone knows what it is, but the fact is, 99% of the kids cannot and will not ever own one. After the first movie everyone owned a civic, now they thow up a skyline and everyone wants it.
But how can you say its not a special car? That car has class and power. Its gental to the eye yet aggressive looking. Its unique in the fact it doesnt totally look like a sports car, yet it does?
the only sad thing i have to say about the skyline is the new V35 that will be in the USA.. it got the motor of dreams, but the car is just ugly , Ameirca always ruins the good in the cars. it looks like the caddy CTS.
anyways...
raceman, im glad i could remind you of "godzilla" if you do decide on buying it, please please please send me some pictures. and if you happen to get it in yellow i will cry because thats my dream car
