You're nuts. The car is nice. But actually I prefer DRIVING a car instead of pushing it.

My favorite would be the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 or R34... there is an insane R33 tho. Top Secret's Nissan Skyline, doing 1200 bhp, quarter mile 9.6 secs, 0-200 mph 23.99 secs. With a 2700 cc engine! Seen that one on a DVD... awesome.

From the looks I prefer the R32, performance the R34.

My absolute favorite would be the Skyline KPGC10 tho.

I love the looks of the 70ies muscle cars too :)

On the payable side my dream car is the Nissan 100 NX. Affordable, looks good.

This one I like too:
Renault R9 I think you called them Renault Alliance. This modell is a very seldom one here (well, it is in any case... seen more Murcielagos than R9 lately). Its got grey blinkers, I never knew they were sold with those until I saw one. But I like the car because my parents used to own one.

Another one I like a lot is the old Mini Cooper. But its very expensive (although far from the Skyline) to get one in good condition.

And a unique (well, two have been made for the movie Harold & Maude, but both have been destroyed :( ) car is this Jaguar E-Type "funeral edition" Awesome good looking car... and definately very cool.

The Pulsar GTI-R is a pretty cool car too... actually its the brother of the 100 NX I mentioned above, although it only came with the 140 hp GTI engine.
I've seen a Pulsar GTI-R beating the crap out of a Viper on the quarter mile... but the Pulsar has been tuned a lot. The Viper was driven by a race driver afaik, that probably wasn't the reason ;)

Of course I like the McLaren F1 too, and all those usual dream cars like F50, Enzo, Murcielago, Diablo, Countach, XJ220, Mercedes CLK-GTR etc.

The 100NX is known as the NX1600 (1.6liter) and the NX2000 (2.0liter SR20DE 140HP, the one you want) here in the USA. And yeah it's a cool little car. I own a 92 Sentra SE-R and it's pretty much the same car as the NX except for the body. Good Taste!

Thanks, here they called them the 100NX and 100NX GTI (probably because of the VW Golf GTI). I'm not sure which one to get tho, because the GTI costs a bit more, and insurance and tax is more expensive. Fuel costs quite a lot too. But I like the Mazda MX3 too... they even fitted a V6 into that small car :D I heard that the Nissan X-Trail engine (280 hp) fits into the NX, without too many modifications. But I think that would be too much :D Anyway, yes, the NX looks pretty cool, like your Sentra (reminds me a bit of the Pulsar... damn naming stuff. Why can't they call it the same way everywhere?), the only thing I don't like that much is the front, why are the lights let in? But I like the targa roof :)
Curently I'm driving a Renault 19, optically not in the best condition tho. The paint is getting dull and scratched etc.

The R34 is LOADS of fun to drive. :) Powering out of corners is incredible.

My favorite also. Wow, 400hp less than the Nissan ricer, and it does a faster quarter mile. :p
Man I hate Skylines. And all japanese sports cars.

BTW, the Koenigsegg is brought to us by the Swedes, inside that beast of a car beats the heart of a Saab and the spirit of a Volvo.
