one other car I forgot to mention. I drove a Campagna T-rex. It is by far the fastest car I have ever driven but i dont know if i consider it a car. 0-60 2.9 sec. 0-100 in 9 seconds. 1300cc honda engine with 6 speed sequential (a real one, not the tiptronic crap)



And eventually I would like to find a corvette without the engine in it and create a frankenstein of cars. Carbeurated v12 Baby. I know where to get one and how to build it.

I will never have enough money to own an original (only six were made and the last one sold for more than $3 million) but Factory Five Racing makes a kit for $15,000. Someday, when all the bills are paid, I'll have one.

Not so much. Some of them got a bent frame after some first time offroading.

There's more stuff on that when you google: Ford Raptor bent frame.

You are better off with an XJ/Comanche.

Both of my dream cars are quite in my reach. (Maybe after college) I haven't driven either, but I love everything about them.

Jeep GCSRT8 & Nissan 370z Touring Ed.

It sucks too because the fastest thing Ive ever driven is my cherokee.
