I’m bored so I figured I’d ask you what the car of your dreams is.

Rules:

1. **Format it**  
Make:  
Model:  
Year:  
Engine:  
Transmission:  
2. **List modifications intended**
2. **Why this is the car of your dreams**

Pontiac  
Firebird Formula  
2002  
5.7L V8 LS1  
M6

Long tube headers, Exhaust cut out, Stock exhaust back. Fast 90/90 setup, Direct port Nitrous, Forged internals(However stock CID), Bigger injectors, Upgraded fuel pump. 9’ rear end and beefed up drive line parts. Slicks 🙂

This is the car of my dreams because, well… I really love my car now but I just wish it was newer, less mileage, and more optioned. I like the formula series because it looks like a v6 and with the exhaust cut out I think it would be funny to surprise people haha. Sleeper firebird…

License plate… v6Lawl

Make: BMW  
Model: 135i  
Year: 2009  
Engine: 3.0L turbo I-6 - 300 HP  
Transmission: 6-speed manual.

1. Mods: Nothing extensive. I’d stay stock legal for autocross.
2. It has a great balance of handling and raw power in an overall lightweight package with RWD, a 6 speed manual, space for 4 and groceries, and decent gas mileage. What’s not to like? Might do a swap for the M3 V-8 or M5 V-10, if it fit. 😃

Then I wouldn’t be stock legal, but that would be okay.

Ferrari  
California  
new  
3.4 V8  
Manual  
mods: racing harnesses, race wheels + tires + pads

WHY?  
It’s one car that meets every single need I have. I also think that if I got one today I would be able to sell it for an overall profit in 30 years.  
why not: I’m not selling my house to own this.

Whatever man. To each his own.

I love my car, even though it handles like shit, has the creature comforts of a work truck, and is longer than the empire state building tipped on it’s side.

I’m not one to dream of shit I can’t possibly obtain either. I’m 17 so $15k is my price ceiling.

Yeah, if you include any car, it’s a FXX. Anything under $200k, it’s a F430. Anything under $100k, it’s a M5. Anything under $80k, it’s an Exige S. Under $40k is my 135i. Under $30k is a full JCW R56 Cooper S, or a S-2000 before they’re all gone.

Haha yeah I guess I could play mid 20’s.

But nah man I got college priorities and handling a car payment Isn’t in my budget. Figure why not have cheap fun and then when I got the $$ I can buy a lotus exige S or something. 😉

If i was to dream unrealistically, I’d go for maybe an evo x, Lotus exige,  
Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black or M3.
