It would have to be a Bowler Wildcat, a 4wd off road super car would be just the ticket !!!

A Skyline pushing out 1600bhp?

Perfect for a super quick quarter mile. Just the one mind. And best have a firetruck ready.

Its an Australian thing... some fans of the Ford marque believe the GT HO Falcon with the 351 cubic inch (or 5.8L) of ohv technology, drum brakes all round, and 12 slot rims, is the best car ever produced by the Ford Motor Company in Australia... if not the world.

The GT has a spec of engine, the HO has a spec of suspension tune.

They had different variations of engine and suspension tune in different "Phases", for the change in model between the XT & XY, the first being a Phase I, second Phase II, third a Phase III (the most revered from all accounts) while there is a Phase IV but the Supercar scare, and oil crisis of the early 1970's killed it... Each "Phase" had a higher level of go faster goodies, all designed to win the Bathurst 500 mile race each year..

35 years old cars defining a marque, and still lusted after.... with a motor manufacturer attempting to release new models of the same brand, but not the same raw speed...

Sounds funny coming from a Holden man, but...

Not drum brakes all round. Not in any Falcon GT, even the original XR. Also, the 'Phase' GTs started with the XW, not the XT. Phase 1 in the XW, Phase 2 and 3 in the XY, and the still-born Phase 4 in the XA (but only two that I know of were ever made).

(Code-mode now 'OFF'.) Sorry, ASCII 'bout the encryptions.

Just noticed. Post 350 for me. Good number for a Holden person. I'll have to skip my next post.

I had to come back with 'Post 351' just to correct myself. Phase 1 AND 2 in the XW, Phase 3 in the XY.

Sorry again, ASCII.

You see, I'd have to make a custom car.

The engine could be a 2.65 liter twin turbo V8 like the ones used in CART in the nineties, 900 hp.
Then we could stick that into a rally car's frame, because I'd like my car to be able to go everywhere, asphalt, mud, etc.
And it should have just two seats, no roof, and sidepods and wings...

Some kind of all-road Champ Car, then!

You know I've been thinking about this. If I had to choose just one car, money no object, to do everything I wanted. It'd be a Range Rover. Simple as that. No point having some impractical supercar that you'll barely ever get out of third gear and will spend two weeks every month being fixed or serviced. Have something you can use, that's got all the comforts you could possibly need, and can go just about anywhere.

It's quite handy for towing race cars too...

Just one? Oh bother. then I would be forced to get that Aston martin that ran in le Mans and was valued at US$7m. Then I'd sell it and buy an F40, M5 a Citröen DS and I would buy one of those 60's Mercedes Benz trucks that had all wheel traction. Don't ask me but I consider them to be a thing of beauty.
