I wish I still had the video of it, but it was an old Mini with AWD. It spanked a Diablo in a drag race, the thing was faster than shit. It hit the half way mark before the Diablo got a quarter of the way down the track.

10 is definitely not enough, but if i added 5 more i would have just kept adding till i had every nice car ever made LOL

ive been lookin at the old mini for a while now and i want to make it real fast but most of the old minis nearby are already restored...i dont want to pay more money then have to take all that shit off, but one of these days i tell you....

Thats the problem here. I have only seen one old style Mini Cooper for sale. It was about half restored not even done and the guy wanted like $8,000 for it! I also have a magazine with an article about coarse racing. It was like 10 events long and there was a Mini in it. It was pretty good at the coarse racing and dominated the drag event. The magazines car was a Mercedes S600 w/ the Twin Turbo V12. Yeah the mini beat it in a drag race.

I've just bought a very interesting car magazine today. They review the Audi S4, Clio V6 and do a comparison between the Murciélago & Pagani C12S. But there's also a Top 100 car's from wich I will mention the first 10.

1. BMW M3: for: allround capacities
a gainst: how can they do better next time
2. Porsche 911: for: German perfection
against: To popular (not really exotic anymore)
3. Mini Cooper S: for: a lot of fun
against: there will be a 200hp version soon
4. Audi RS6: for: a luxery sedan with 450hp
against: a lot of taxes
5. SL55AMG: for: a cruiser and a sportscar in one
against: SL55AMG or SL600?
6. Focus RS: for: sticks to the road
against: one colour
7. Ferrari Enzo: for: incredibly fast
against: also incredibly expensive
8. Murciélago: for: allready a ledgend
against: find a garage large enough for this baby
9. Impreza STI: for: as close to a rallycar as you can get
against: has a spoiler from a Cessna
10. VW touaregV10TDI: for: great on and offroad capacities
against: consumes more then your average sportscar

hahahaha, lol . I don't like the looks of the Aston Martin Vantage, but I still got respect for what it is (550hp was a lot). And a lada, to be honest my mom used to have on. If we had to pass a tractor, we had to wait till we went downhill, and if she pushed the gass pedal down the whole car started shaking If we didn't go fast enough she would let me step out and push no not really , but old lada's were crap.

NO I am serious. A civic is a great econ car and is also graet to look at. Before a civic econ cars were cheap, and horrible boxes. a Civic si with 700hp, with a supra engine? I am so positive that is not made for the general public. 700hp in a car as light as a civic, stock? I find that hard to beleave.

All I have to say is Ferrari 355 is only the top 10 list.

And here are the top 10 for cheap cars:

1. BMW M3
2. Benz C32
3. Nissan 350z
4. Subaru STI
5. Mitsu Evo8
6. Toyota Supra

Can't figure out the rest.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I wouldn't exaclty categorise an M3 as cheap ... Price-performance wise it rocks but it still isn't cheap.

since i do not wish to choose between the first 4, i'll call it a draw.
(they are a mile ahead of the others)

1// aston martin db7 gt
1// aston martin db7 vantage
1// aston martin db7 vantage volante (i like to mention it seperately)
1// aston martin v12 vanquish
5// lamborghini murcielago
6// bentley arnage t
7// ferrari 360 modena
8// volvo s60r / v70 r (new model for the latter)
9// volvo s80 t6 (new model)
10// jaguar xjr (new model)

it doesn't always need to be sportscars all over the place for me.
