I'm confused. What is it that Porsche would never do?
What is American/stupid? A v8? Yeah lol, HP is dumb

And now there is the Panamera. I lol when the Top Gear guys absolutely insult the way the car looks. Imo it's prettier than the 928, and it's one of the very best V8s out there right now. I'd be delighted to have one ... ther normally-aspirated one with the use-your-****ing-foot! tranny. In (almost) anything, ANYTHING but silver or black. cn

A Bugatti Veyron 16.4


With its 16-cylinder four-wheel drive, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4*) may well be the most sophisticated production vehicle of all times.
Most of the components tucked beneath its hood are ingenious innovations that were formerly only deemed possible by visionaries like Ferdinand Piëch.
Boasting a maximum speed of more than 400 km per hour, the Veyron is unmatched in the super sports category. It offers a total of 736 kW (1,001 HP), and its ample power reserves even at high speeds are the fabric of dreams for luxury-class limousines: for a constant speed of 250 km/h, the Veyron only needs 270-280 HP. This means that the seven-gear clutch transmission works with a torque of up to 1,250 Newton meters. The Electronic Stability Program ensures the necessary flexibility and maneuverability at any speed. The Veyron reaches velocities that would literally lift the car off the ground – if it weren’t for its ingenious aerodynamics, which keeps it firmly on the road even at full speed. Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids – it all adds to the perfect balance between propulsion and downforce. Such a super sports car may not seem to be brought to a halt easily, but the Veyron’s ceramic brakes slow it down faster than it can accelerate. While it takes this exceptional car only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, it needs even less time – a mere 2.3 seconds – to come to a standstill from 100 (reference point). To reduce the risk of injuries in accidents, Bugatti had a Formula 1 safety concept adapted for the Veyron. All these technical details combine to make the Veyron a truly exceptional super sports car.

The values were calculated using the prescribed measurement method (§ 2, numbers 5, 6, 6 per car energy labeling ordinance in its current version).CO2 emissions, which result from the production and provision of fuel or other energy sources are not taken into account in the determination of CO2 emissions pursuant to Directive 1999/94/EC. The figures do not refer to a specific vehicle and are not part of the offer, but only serve the purpose of comparing different vehicle types. The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a vehicle not only depend on the efficient utilization of the fuel by the vehicle, but also on driving style and other non-technical factors. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Notice pursuant to Directive 1999/94/EC of each current valid version: For more information on official fuel consumption and the specific official CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be acquired from the "Guide for Fuel Economy, CO2 Emissions and Power Consumption of New Passenger Cars" available at all sales outlets and at DAT German Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, D-73760 Ostfildern – available free of charge or at www.dat.de. Efficiency classes of vehicles are evaluated in terms of CO2 emissions by means of the vehicle's empty weight. Vehicles that correspond to the average are classified as D. Vehicles that are better are graded with A+, A, B or C. Vehicles that are worse than the average are given an E, F or G.

I've had too many cars from rags to riches lol. Right now I currently own a BMW x5 and a Suzuki gsx 750. Before my x5 I had a 2002 745 I. I also owned Taurus,impala,300c,magnum put it like this since 2002 it was a new car every year lol.

My next car is between a range, Benz or maybe another Beamer but this te I'll try the 645 since I'm keeping the x5

Besides the Veyron I said I'd like to have, there are two more, a nostalgia thing. When I was 17 I had a 1970 Dodge Challenger 440-Magnum, like the one "Kowalski" drove in "Vanishing Point."

The other would be a 1968 Hurst Super Stock Hemi Dart (426 Hemi). Around the time I had the Challenger I knew a guy a few years older than me that had a 1968 Hurst Super Stock Hemi Cuda (426 Hemi) and it was fast. I liked the Dart body better so I'd prefer the Dart over the Cuda (though the Cuda is likely worth more and a better collectible) but they would turn a 10.30 second - 129 MPH quarter mile, right of the factory floor. My car was fast, but that thing was like a neutrino. One of those would be cool to tool around in now and then.

Silasraven, I was quite surprised that there are very very few mentions on the Web of lowrider wheelchairs. With some truly creative lowrider bicycles out there, I would have figured that to be a thriving niche industry. If you're good with a torch (and inclined to fabricate), I would think you could make yourself a tidy little bit o' cash and fame building "low and slow" wheelchairs. cn
