And of course my favorite one of all time, the TVR Cerbera Speed 12(only 1 made which was the one the owner of the company at the time drove and considered it too powerfull and dangerous)

(bump)

this was a cool thread.. lets keep it goin

 

[mikeyb]

2002 BMW Z3 M Coupe 600 imported to the US

 

[tunersteve]

Heres one for ya - 1992 & 1993 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T. Only 250 produced in 1992, and 181 in 1993. The rarest color was Electric Blue, which there were only 8 ever made. 224hp turbocharged 2.2, long before the SRT 4 was ever conceived.

I had a black one from 2000-2003 and that car hauled ass.

 

[genericuser]

I remember those daytonas.. they were pretty nasty.

 

[tunersteve]

I remember those daytonas.. they were pretty nasty.

What do you mean by nasty? They weren't the best looking cars, but they were pretty quick.

 

[Antoine]

Hey hey...Anyone remember the "Vector" or something starting with a V...it was this crazy concept from the late 80's early 90's maybe? Had a crazy techno/fighter look to it...Did those reach any form of production at all?

 

[altspace]

1992 Vector W8. That was a wild design. I remember seeing it in a movie or two as well. It used a Chevy V8 producing 625 hp and 630 torque. The Twin Turbo version boosted power up to 1,100 hp!
