I own my dream car that is practical. There are some exotics like a Ford GT or McLaren than i will never afford.

2011 Corvette Z06
Worked over heads, cam, intake, full exhaust, racing suspension, Wilwood brakes, Hoosier slicks, 5 point harness, etc.

I did road racing all over the US in two different amateur series with it.

570 HP to the wheels, weighs 3100 pounds without me in it.

I've had it up to 190 MPH a few times.

LS7 engine is pure demon power.

I'll never get rid if it, had it for 5 years. Bought it with 6k miles on it. Only drive it a few times a month.

Very nice ..
I have 2009 jet stream blue C6 Coup LS3...
Was think of  buying a C7 now that prices have dropped.. C8 still overpriced...I rather wait for the 458 Italia which is my dream car...

I see  be Bentleys all over boring looking vehicle

Not sure even if I had 250 k to drop on a car if I would

Rather have a Beechcraft twin engine instead

Could register as a club and make my members pay the operating costs on it

There is a aviation community in Jupiter near the b line highway

I like that twin turbo vette does it out the power to the wheels though? Only fast in a straight line ?

 I prefer the rear engine set up for a sports car

And German

The only bentley I like is the new continental GT but then again at that price point you can get two cars that look and perform a way better.

Lots of toys I’d like to drive.

Altough where I live roads are kinds of shitty, summer is 2months and rest of the year it mostly rains waters, sleet or snow.

I’ve got a family.

Mercedez Benz E  amg63 wagon would suit me just fine.

The Vette handles well, 6 speed manual with the Z51 handling package. On a good day it will spin the tires at 60-70 mph, needs a stickier tire on the rear. I haven't driven it since last September before my shoulder surgery. I plan to get it out sometime soon, weather permitting.

Would love a Porsche GT3, unfortunately out of my budget.

Gt3 is nuts bro


Regular carrera  2020 992 model is in range of leasing

8 k down 1200 monthly
 No Maintinance costs except gas

And car scent to wash away the stank of coke and hookers

30 months


Can opt to purchase at end

15 k a year for a lease is crazy I know

But those 30 months

Lamborghini's New Countach LPI 800-4 Is Faithful to Its Famous Name


Earlier this week, Lamborghini confirmed it was planning to bring back the famous Countach name. Now, after only the smallest of gaps between tease and please, we are seeing the reality. The Countach LPI 800-4 has just been revealed at The Quail Motorsport Gathering in California—a new version of a car the company last built 31 years ago.

The new Countach isn’t a restomod or a "continuation" version of the original, and underneath sits a substantial amount of the existing Aventador. Yet, as these first images make clear, it pays very obvious homage to the design of the original Countach, which made its debut in prototype form at the 1971 Geneva auto show. The ambition, as Lamborghini puts it, is "to imagine how the iconic Countach of the '70s and '80s might have evolved into an elite super sports model of this decade."

The original Countach was a pioneer. The use of a north-south V-12 engine behind its passenger compartment created the archetype for the modern supercar; the earlier Miura’s mid-mounted engine was fitted transversely. But while shocking when launched, with its name a mild expletive in the Piedmontese dialect, the first Countach lived until 1990, and the purity of Marcello Gandini's design became diluted with the arrival of bigger wings, spoilers, and plastic bodywork extensions over time.



For the new car, Lamborghini design director Mitja Bokert has chosen to channel the spirit of the earlier versions of the original Countach, but has also integrated some references to later models. The LPI800-4's basic form incorporates the wedge-shaped frontal profile of the first LP400 production Countach, as well as the similarly clean taper from the passenger compartment to the rear end. It also lacks any fixed wing or visible aerodynamics (an active element sits hidden above the rear lights).

There are some obvious and necessary differences, too. The new Countach's need for cooling air has seen it given sizable intakes integrated into the doors; the original had small NACA-style ducts. Yet the upper air intakes at the rear are actually smaller than the LP400's high-mounted scoops. All body panels are made from carbon fiber.

Other elements of the 21st-century Countach have taken inspiration from the later Quattrovalvole version of the original, including the angular frontal design and trapezoidal hood and hexagonal wheel arches. Modern impact standards deprive the new car of pop-up headlights, sadly—but compact LED lighting units are similar in size to the first Countach's glass-covered daytime lights and turn signals. Scissor-opening doors are, of course, present; every Lamborghini supercar since the first Countach has featured them.

The new Countach's interior is less retro, being obviously based closely on that of the Aventador. Both cars use the same carbon-fiber tub. Digital instruments and an 8.0-inch portrait central touchscreen are standard, although the latter incorporates a new function: selecting the Stile (or design) function will run an animation that explains the history of the Countach's styling.

The rear of the new Countach shares the original's inverted wedge shape and four exhaust tailpipes, together with hexagonal triple-element light clusters at each side, plus a louvered engine cover. The alloy wheels, 20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear, have been designed to offer a modern take on the "telephone dial" alloys popular in the '80s. The view through these to vast carbon-ceramic brake discs front and rear is necessarily different from the original car's much smaller rotors.

The new Countach concept at Pebble has been finished in pearlescent Bianco Siderale white. The color is similar to the one Ferruccio Lamborghini specified for his own Countach LP400 S, paired with a similarly period-appropriate red and black interior. New Countach buyers will be able to choose from a range of similarly retro exterior hues, including '70s-style solid green and yellow shades. (A full range of modern colors will also be offered for less daring buyers.)

Most of the new Countach's mechanical package is shared with the even-more limited Sián, which we experienced earlier this year. This combines a 769-hp version of Lamborghini's long-serving 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 with additional assistance from a 33-hp electrical motor, this drawing power from a supercapacitor which supports high energy flow rates but which is only able to store charge for brief periods. The motor and capacitor add just 75 pounds to the powertrain's mass, but the system doesn't have enough juice for pure electric operation. Lamborghini claims a total system output of 802 horsepower, fractionally less than the 808-hp figure claimed for the Sián. But on Lamborghini's numbers the Countach's 3516-pound dry weight is 110 pounds less than the Sián, and the new car's combination of a claimed 2.8-second zero-to-62-mph time, 8.6-second zero-to-124-mph time and 221-mph top speed are well outside the frame of reference for any original Countach.

As with the Aventador, the Countach uses both an automated single-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive, with torque sent to the front axle through an electronically controlled central coupling. It also gets pushrod suspension all around and rear-wheel steering. A front lift system will also be standard. Although the relationship between both is clear, this Countach is also a much larger car than the original. The new car is 29 inches longer, 14.9 inches wider, and 2.8 inches higher—and it sits on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, identical to that of the Aventador, which is 10 inches bigger.

Just 112 of the new Countach will be built, a number chosen to correspond to the LP112 project name of the original car. Lamborghini hasn't released any pricing, but as it says the entire allocation has been sold before the car's official launch, it has clearly judged demand for this new version of its most iconic model perfectly.

Top of the line Mustang, Camaro, Challenger or Vette.  I wouldn't mind a revamped/updated homage to the 'Cuda either.

I would need an automatic as I am unable to manually shift gears due to leg problems.  A friend just bought a totally black 2021 Camaro SS and another got a very clean 2017 Corvette!   ;D

Now that is the car.  Excellent!  I think I remember watching that show twice a week when it first came on.

Yes, it was on twice a week.  Tues & Thurs?

The first episode of the week was a cliffhanger resolved in the following episode.

"Seatbelt, Robin?"

"Right, Batman!"

"Atomic batteries to power...turbines to speed!"

Rebodied Aventador cash-grab

The new car is 29 inches longer, 14.9 inches wider, and 2 .8 inches higher—and it sits on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, identical to that of the Aventador, which is 10 inches bigger.  :-\ Could've done something like Gordon Murray and the T50
