I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.
I tend not to have dream cars that I don’t think will ever be within reach, but if I ignore this, the Koenigsegg Agera R is the top of my list. Oh boy, those really get me going!
Cars more within my reach, but still not within my reach, are the R34, the new Supra, the new NSX
It’s the Koenigsegg Gemera for me. The fact that it somehow seats 4 while still having insane performance is ridiculous. The dream “practical” car.
The Gemera is such an amazing mindfuck. It takes the grand touring concept and gives it a line of cocaine and a tab of acid at the same time. It’s a hyper GT. It is to hypercars what something like an Aston Martin DB12 or Ferrari Roma is to supercars, which is to say the speed, drama, crazy design, and excess of a hypercar, but in a more comfortable package that can seat 4. I love the absurdity of a single scissor door nearly the size of two regular doors so rear seat passengers can get in.
If the GT is meant to get you across the continent in comfort and style and still be sporty enough for some fun up a mountain pass, then the Gemera is the same comfort and style and sportiness but also fast enough to do a 250 mph run at the Nardo Ring with your bespoke luggage in the back.
I’ve had both the Supra and the NSX on road America track and the Supra surprised me the most at liking it c
Nice… the new NSX? I’ve never seen one in person!
Yes.
Someone downvoted me for asking if you meant the new NSX or old NSX. Oh reddit.
Supra out of the box is a little bland from a driving perspective. Stylistically its quite wild, but from a “fun” perspective its a car that really needs mods to wake up. On the flip side, my GT350 was pretty insane out of the box, and mods have just taken it further
What mods have spiced up the 350
Resonator delete (I have the corsa x pipe)
Ford performance lowering springs
Lightweight forged wheels in the 350R size (dropped 10 lbs per corner and gained width). I have PS4S on mine which are better than the OEM super sports
If you want to go further other people do long tube headers, JLT intake, tune, carbon fiber driveshaft, rear seat delete, lightweight battery, more aggressive aero, cup 2 tires. And of course if you really wanna play with fire, throw on a supercharger. I havent done any of these, and dont have any plans to for my car. The first 3 mods are enough for me
I tell everybody that if they want in my opinion, the best out of the box attainable track car it’s the GT 350. I have not driven the Mach 1 or a dark variant though. I also like the GR 86 but it’s just slightly underpowered to the 350.
I feel like the camaro V8 manual (cant remember the trims) is a bit better. Camaros have a bit better of a chassis and they are pretty reliable at taking taking track abuse. They also get the tremec in all the trims, unlike mustangs
350®s are good track cars but if you want one you can abuse with minimal worries, its hard to beat camaros
Why a GT350 over a Camaro SS tho
I’m surprised (and also not) that I had to scroll past several Porsches posts to get to your Agera R
The newer Koenigsegg’s are absolute technological marvels, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the CCR and CCX.
