    A nice choice indeed. Here are a few short clips of the M3 GTR testing at the Nordschleife:

    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    Personally, I've always hated so called "SUVs", largely due to the fact that they're so unsafe to other road users.
    Anyway, here's a short clip of a slightly tuned X5, the X5 Le Mans
    Sorry it's so short, but I'm running out of space on the site at the moment.

    here is my dream car.



    Faster than a McLaren F1 LM the Lingenfelter Corvette Twin Turbo has specs such as the following

    Approx Price $165,000
    Horsepower 802hp @ 4600 rpm
    Torque 866ft lbs @ 3600 rpm
    1/4 Mile 9.2 secs @ 150mph
    0-60mph 2.0 secs
    Top Speed 240mph

    now there has been debate over the times, but they vary by the type of tire you use, but Motor Trend gives these specs so that is what I belive. So for almost a tenth of the price you get a car that is faster and that dosent cost as much as some families income to fix. Also you dont have to send it to Britan if it ever gets broken as Jay Leno says, "Its a chevy and I can fix it with a hammer."

    Also on the note of leno he owns a Enzo, McLaren and a Corvette and he drives the Corvette the most because he can fix it.

    hey gen (this is not abuse&#33 the reason i said i liked the X5 is cos it has more sterdy feel than things like the disco or ML55...the inside design is gorgeous and the outside looks pretty slick too. never got to drive a viper tho...had a go in a bentley tho...took me a few mins to work out how to start it...bloody buttons to start a car...prefer the traditional key myself

    I've had this debate many a time...

    The Lingenfelter is faster than a McLaren F1 when accelerating in a straight line (i.e. on a dragstrip).
    It is NOT faster than the McLaren F1 LM in any other situation (race track, road situation, braking).

    If you only want your dream car to be able to go quickly in a straight line then that's fine, but you're being a little ignorant to the full abilities of the car.



    edit: almost forgot. The only reason the Lingenfelter is faster than a McLaren F1 in a straight line is because it uses drag tyres. Put the F1 LM on the same tyres as the Lingenfelter and the acceleration times would be very similar. The F1 LM has a superior power to weight ratio. 621bhp/tonne for the F1 LM versus 528bhp/tonne for the Lingenfelter
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
