That camaro has been my dream car for about 8 years, now. I used to want a '69 GTO, but the Camaro has grown on me. The reason it wasn't on the list is that I will be able to afford one sometime soon! Unless I befriend a dying rich man, the italians are staying in Italy.

316 bhp and 360 foot lbs of torque. Not to mention a underbody clearance nothing on the market can even come close to. Of course you can have those specs 'tweeked' -- up to 445 bhp and 550 ft lbs torque.

So while I'm driving over your Rams, Mustangs, and Beemers, I'm doing it in style And once I catch up with the Viper and the Ferrari, I'll have those for my main course. But the AM DB7 -- just way too cool to mess with.

Craig... to catch up... you need to get the performance mod for a hummer... Can't remember who does it, but saw it on one of the hot rodding shows on TV. They showed the thing doing a top speed of 157Mph and take a hairpin turn at 77Mph.

Mind you, if I had the money for the viper, I would be going for the John Lingenfelter modified engine. Takes you from 488ci and 450hp to 540ci and 725hp.. catch that

Justin26k, yup... knew that.. but it's a little toned down... dump the Lingenfelter modified engine into it

I think those Hummers are silly. Never know when you might have to go off-roading to get to Target.

AC Cobra 427
0-100-0mph in 10 seconds, if I remember right. And just looked at the power off some website: 485 bhp.

I guess maybe I'm more into classics, but how about a 1963 Corvette Stingray split-window coupe'? Or maybe a 1969 'Superbird'? Don't get me wrong, all these newer cars are beautiful, fast and expensive, but I'd sure hate to try and work on one. But, on the other hand, if you could afford a Viper or Lambroghini you could afford to hire someone to work on it!!
