Yeah, people have all kinds of dreams,
but here we are talking only about the American Dream.
I hope that you will enjoy the discussion.
********************************


We consider only production road cars: sports cars and (sports) sedans (Cadillac).

Compare with this.

Her we go
Quote:

Ford GT (limited productuion: 2003 - 2006) - Top speed 205 mph and 550 horsepower.

and

Quote:

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the most powerful (638 horsepower) and fastest production car ever from general Motors: top speed 205 mph.

Incidently, the top speeds of Ford GT and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 are exactly
the same: 205 mph.

************************************************** **********

Friendly Remark
The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the fastest production car in the world with top speed 257mph.
It costs only $620,000.
(Is this information outdated?)
It is rumoured that the Vector WX8 top speed is 275 mph.
See Vector Motors.

************************************************** **********

How about the Ultimate Corvette, that is the Callaway Corvette?

Callaway C16 Speedster Corvette.

The Callaway C16 Corvette engine.

Here is the CallawayCars site.
Note that the Callaway C16 Speedster Corvette costs $305,000.
Here is the Chevrolet here site.
Note that the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 price starts at $104,820.

The Corvette is meant to be the Ferrari at fraction of the price.

Also, the price of the limited edition Ford GT starts at about $150,000 and can reach $225,000.

Each of those cars (on the list) costs more than $100,000.


Ciao,

Adam

I think you have no idea what the term 'The American Dream' means. I also think that we have a thread about what sportscar you would want that's been quite active recently:

I pick the Ford GT, but only because I can't choose a Lamborghini Gallardo (green paint please).

 

[choomanchoo]

I'll take a 65' Impala in stock condition,with an amazing sound system, so I can bump "Mr. Groove"

Damn, just changed my mind to the 1968 Dodge Charger posted below. I've been watching too much Supernatural and that car is just

I voted Tesla, because I have a soft spot for the environment. But after I had a Tesla, I would absolute have to get a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, I've wanted one for a long time.

 

[krmathis]

I would take a Tesla.
Quite fast (0-100 = 4 seconds) electric sport car, which have a lot of benefits. Allowed to drive the bus lane, dedicated parking places, free fuel at work, no road tax, ... and its environmental friendly.

 

[shigzeo]

i guess i dont know much about cars as i could only recognise two of them

This thread is full of fail, just like every other one of yours Adam, sorry to say it.

I too put my hand through my skull. If I had known it was about American cars, I wouldn't have clicked. I thought it might be some interesting discussion on the meaning of "The American Dream".

 

[AdamCalifornia]

Just FYI, this is the Cadillac Cien (a concept car).

In my original post I've added two links links about those
two Corvettes (C16 and ZR1) mentioned in the poll and more stuff.

By the way, this poll/thread is a counterpart to the previous one,
which did not cover American Dream-Sports-Cars at all.

P.S.
I am terribly sorry that this thread/poll is only about American Dream Sports Cars.
Mea culpa. (Ha, ha, ha, ...)
