If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Ed Doe - 12-05-2013

Honestly I could think of no other supercar I'd want to own more than a Ferrari F40. IMO Just the most pure driving supercar to be made, no 'rose-tinted' "oh it was quick for it's time" stuff... proper power, rude turbos, propensity to come on-blow mid-corner and cause the car to spin if you weren't ON it, and no weight or ac or satnav or any other shit to distract you from the pure pleasure of driving.
So much win!
And i'm really not a ferrari-man at all really either!Just thought I'd share this with you all.
Oh and on that note, I've noticed for some time now, Fifth Gear is bloody brilliant! It's about actual cars, they do this thing called driving. They talk about how the cars drive, rather than relying on tortured metaphors, and f*ck me can Tiff and Jason Plato drive!!! I think it's been going that way for some time, but I'd say Fifth Gear is now better than Top Gear as it's actually a car show still...

Agreed. Im not a massive fan of ferraris but the f40 is sexual
Top gear hasnt been about cars for a long time. Its a comedy now with a bit of driving here and there but still normally very good.

Am I the only one who doesn't really desire a supercar over something that's been built for a driving enthusiast? Or to put it another way, something not aimed at ham-fisted idiots with more money than talent??

that said, the zonda is just pure porn. not super car but hyper car.
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Toms306 - 12-05-2013
Tbh I'm a ham-fisted idiot with no money or talent so I'd rather have a car that does all the work for me!

Tbh i cant think of a single hyper car i actually like. But i agree with Ed. I would much prefer something like a GT86 which is supposed to be a great drive. Lets face it, you will never use 500bhp to its full potential on our roads so why have it drinking fuel!

Course you don't! Can f*ck up in a 60bhp 106 so I'm guessing you can in a supercar too.
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Ed Doe - 12-05-2013
Can I interrupt....
GT86!!! YES!
That, or a Porsche GT3. Or a GT2...

RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Curt - 12-05-2013
I have to say, other than looking at their fancy bits and bobs and the sheer rarity of most of them... I don't get the whole supercar thing either. I'd much rather spend my money building something more "normal" into something special that would show one up.

im with ed on this, f40 ftmfw!
however, if i actually had supercar money i would probably buy a ridiculous 1980s lambo just for everyday lols like going to tesco in it

Rowell, go look up the definition of supercar, bloody kids, what do they teach you in university these days?!? Edit: And you sean. :p
I'm inclined to agree with Ed and co, i find supercars impressive in terms of a demonstration of engineering prowess, and sure they're pretty to look at and sound nice, but they're just another status symbol in reality, another declaration of how ball-achingly unimaginative someone is when it comes to spending money they don't need to.
/soapbox
That said, wouldn't turn down a Bristol Fighter T - beautiful cars. Or maybe a Noble M600.

Yeah you just have to sacrifice the one thing you really need when driving a performance car...
Driver feedback. You will have none of it with all those computers doing the work for you.
If I had to have a supercar it would be the Ascari A10
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Just Sean - 13-05-2013
If i wanted a non assisted supercar, it would probably be something lamboghini. Countach or diablo... the clutches cant be as heavy as my one surely!

Do we need to put the definition of supercar in the first post, would that be easier? :p
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - sweeney1987 - 13-05-2013
Ye guys for real???
Youre on a car enthusiasts forum and dont dream of owning super/hyper cars??
Heck if i had the money(and i aspire to one day) id have a warehouse full!
Ferrari F40, F50, F60(enzo) would all be there.
Several lambos - Countach, diablo, murcielago
Koenninsegg ccx
Ascari A10 - although read somewhere you cant buy them, the guy just built it for himself
A zonda or two
jaguar xj220
mclaren f1
just to name a few, id have loads!!!
Also dream of getting a 1967 shelby mustang gt500 ever since i seen gone in 60 seconds. i will own one one day

Correct.
You can't categorise car enthusiasts by the cars they're enthusiastic about!
Just because they don't particularly interest me, doesn't make me less of a car fan. I wouldn't say no to an F40 and there's countless old Americans I'd love... but that's not what this thread is about.
I just don't see the appeal myself, I get more enjoyment in making a car than from buying it.
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - sweeney1987 - 13-05-2013
simples.... outright speed!
Fair enough, but i would of thought people who are on a forum as such would be enthusiastic of all cars and aspire to own monster powered cars, must be just me then
I was doing over 100 on my private runway today and it wasnt enough! craved more power more go. more adrenalin!!
And lets be honest youre not going to get that satisfied feeling of being too scared to go faster unless you have a super / hyper car....
Also how can anyone not want a Porsche 911 GT2? any car thats nicknamed the widow maker is sure to stir something in your pants
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - Ed Doe - 13-05-2013
But sweens, I completely disagree.
You can get the feeling of fear to go full throttle in anything... why make it a poser-mobile?

Stick your supercars up your arses.
If I was spending big bucks i'd be straight on the phone to Eagle...

completely agree! but for the love of god choose a lower res photo!! "scaled 83%" !!!
RE: If I was made to own a Supercar.... - C.A.R. - 13-05-2013
The old stuff is so much more exciting than the new.
Porsche 993 Turbo / GT2
Ferrari F355
Viper GTS
I'd use one of those as a daily if I won the money to do so!
