50k USD to spend on a car...

[808BMW]

You know you want one.

-Charlie

I'd rather have a lightning.

Than your retarded, SRT-10 Ram > any other truck. Good choice Charlie.

I'll take me a good ol' Chevy 2500HD Duramax. Any money would go to mods (lift w/ tires, banks package, sounds)



I want a 4 door, and this is the last body style, but this illustrates my point.

$300 worth of tuning and exhaust = +200ft. lb. of torque. Newer diesel trucks kick ass.

I was going to say Noble M12... but its over the cap even without engine.

e39 m5 or E55 doesnt matter which.

[e30Matt]

STi + $20k in mods sounds like a good deal to me. :)

Would probably get a Lancer Evo 8.

Thought some of you with a hard on for V8s (vettes, GTOs etc) might like one of these puppies.... 300kW LS2 in a ute with zero traction would be a good laugh :twisted:

HSV R8 Ute. Base model Maloo is around USD$50k:

The El Camino is back?

lol, I think GM were actually considering exporting Holden/HSV Utes to the US to revive the El Camino, kinda like what they did with the Pontiac GTO. Dunno if it's still gonna happen tho.

[Jarvis]

I sure hope they don't. The SSR sucks enough. We don't need a $50K El Camino too.

[Ryan Stewart]

And its the Aussies that came back with it. How is that? They recreate the musclecar and now they are going to recreate the El Camino. Maybe BMW should hire them and they will remake light and quick classic looking sedans again.

*googles chevvy ssr* You're right, that does suck.

Aussie automotive engineers don't understand the concept of light and quick. They understand heavy and slow, and realise that increasing more power = heavy and fast = deathtrap but haven't yet realised that less weight and more power = 8)

[Ryan Stewart]

This would be successful. The SSR was a bad idea gone worse.

The SSR has no power, an overly complicated top, and looks like some old ice truck from the late 30s' gay cousin.

[Jarvis]

There is one Aussie car I would love to see in the US: Falcon XR6/XR8
That thing kicks ass. I think everyone remembers the pic a few weeks ago of the glowing headers and huge turbo on the XR6's 4.0L DOHC I6. That engine has a lot of potential. I'd love to see it, at least in n/a form, in American Fords. It'd be a great base model engine for the Explorer and Mustang, and as an option on the Ranger. Would certainly be better than the 4.0L V6 lump they currently sell.

The 05 SSR is going to have the LS2, 400 hp will make that truck work just fine.

Still ugly. If one of the fat chicks in Rob's calendar thread had a 400hp V8, would you ride that too?
PS: don't answer that question.
