Today's QOTD got me thinking. What is your bucket list car to drive?

It can be a car you want to own, track, take around town, or maybe just take it to your high school reunion to show up those kids who made fun of you for driving a car held together with duct tape.

Maybe it's a model T just to see what it was like. Maybe it's a F1 car so you can pretend to be Senna as you drive it through Manhattan with the roads closed off just for you.

Me? Diablo SV. This is the car I think of when I think crazy Lamborghini. I know what they say about them but I don't care. Me+Diablo SV+track to myself = dream drive

I would like to drive a Ferrari around a track one day. Also I'd like to drive a Tesla.

And do stage rallies.

You and I think exactly the same way. When I was 17, I had a dream where I was driving an SV along the Florida Gulf Coast. I could feel the shifter as it slid through the gate. I woke up lusting after that car.

Give me a nice open road and leave me to myself.

a Bugatti Royale just once. IMHO supercars are kind of trite and played out. Something that is fast but makes you look like a giant dork. Tell me a better way than a Royale to feel like the ruler of the road without being a pretender who just has alot of cash

427 Cobra.

I don't think I have the skill, but I want to find out.

I do not think the Nissan R34 GT-R Nismo 'midnight purple' would be a great car to own, but the inner Paul Walker demands a thorough test drive.

That's a car to be driven in .

I would love to run a true first gen Camaro Trans am race car around a track. The sound of a uncorked 302 Chevy small block will give you goosebumps and cause a bowel movement plus it's a small block V8 that turns over 10k RPM

Because it's insane and I want one.

Only ONE????

Shit....

Well, I guess it's gonna be:

at it's inception, but so are Rolls Royce, Mercedes 600 et al. Doesn't change my mind one bit that I could play chauffeur

Let me run the Mille Miglia in this

I was hoping people would chime in with non super cars. It makes for a more interesting discussion and hopefully I learn about people/cars

they definitely make a great noise. So angry but purposeful.

A friend of mine spent a few months in New Zealand and got to drive a couple skylines (R32s I think). He said he was underwhelmed after all the hype but they were also stock and on public roads so he never really got to push/test them. They're definitely in my top 10

I second that but request disc brakes

Funktheduck > TheHondaBro 12/09/2014 at 13:14

Good pick. I'd drive one till the brakes melted, then hope I don't have to pay for the repair.

Funktheduck > CounterTorqueSteer 12/09/2014 at 13:15

Sadly, the closest I've ever come to driving one of these is while playing need for speed.

No need to worry about battery fires rallying a tesla right? Teslas are possibly among the cars people have listed that I could maybe one day drive. They're becoming so common it's only a matter of time before a current or future client has one and I can convince them to let me drive. Drove a new Jag XJ that way.

That's a good one. I'd love to build a cobra kit car.

I drove a first gen Gallardo a few years back. Unfortunately, it had paddle shifters.

I'd love to get the chance to drive a steam powered car.

Funktheduck > Meatcoma 12/09/2014 at 13:32

Similar. Never got to drive it but it was near perfect and all original.

Still a Lambo

DoYouEvenShift > Funktheduck 12/09/2014 at 13:36

That car will be forever associated with this in my mind.

Oh, a yellow SV is my second favorite Lambo behind the Countach.

there is one at Owl's Head museum about 2 hours north of me, in running condition supposedly. Too cool. Where was this dream car exhibit?

I'm retry sure I learned about the Diablo SV playing NFS: Hot Pursuit on my playstation

I was a little sad when they sold it. I jokingly offered to buy it but there was no way I could afford to buy or keep it and no where safe to keep it.

High Museum in Atlanta.

My wife's boss has a late 50's vette. I keep trying to get him to let me take some pictures of his cars, he's got 2 bentleys, a couple jags, the vette, a carrera 4s and a healey, sold his ferrari and the baby jag. He drives most of them when it's nice.

Pagani Zonda. Not picky about which model, but a Cinque would do nicely.

Funktheduck > Meatcoma 12/09/2014 at 13:59

Sweet. We had a '73 stingray when I was in middle school. Rebuilt/modified it with my stepdad. It was awesome getting dropped off at school. It was the only hot rod we built I didn't get to drive.

I had a '76 in my 20's for about a year. I got rid of it to get something more modern....... It was beige anyhow and I hated that color but could not afford the black cherry paintjob I wanted for it.

Good one. Who has more special editions the Veyron or Zonda

'48 Tucker Torpedo. Flat six in the back.

I don't think it's a direct comparison. Bugatti designs and produces numerous special editions for "general sale". But Pagani tends to build custom cars for individual customers.

Not sure how this didn't get mentioned yet, but a Toyota...

or maybe the Bond version:

If I become super rich I'm buying one of those

Same here, it's definitely high on my list.

Funktheduck > MarquetteLa 12/09/2014 at 15:02

Yeah. I just keep thinking of how many send off "final" zondas there were.

MarquetteLa > Funktheduck 12/09/2014 at 15:16

I think (and hope) that as long as there are customers willing to pay for Zondas, Pagani will keep making them.

Funktheduck > MarquetteLa 12/09/2014 at 15:27

Gotta recoup that R & D. It must be hard staying profitable

Pagani made five Cinques in 2009. They each sold for $2.1 million USD. They then made five Cinque Roadsters, each selling for $2 million USD. Five Revolucions were built and sold for $2.7 million USD each.

I think Pagani is doing okay for themselves.

Funktheduck > MarquetteLa 12/09/2014 at 17:29

I'm sure there's a nice profit built into each but I wonder how much. There's a lot more high end materials going into each car than your average commuter car. I'd love to know just for curiosities sake

MarquetteLa > Funktheduck 12/09/2014 at 17:38

Me, too! I'd love to see profit margins on a bunch of supercars.
