So what car is your "Unicorn"?

.:bHd:. · 03-11-2009, 02:32 AM

What is that one car you always wished of having but could never capture. You came close a number of times but never got to owning it. It has to be something realistic, not like a Veyron or anything. Mine is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX. Every time I see this car I stare until it's passed my sight. I wished of owning one ever since I drove it in Gran Turismo 4. I test drove it a few times and got close to getting a deal but never closed it. To this day I consider it my next car, but have second thoughts.

Post uppp

Edit: Can one of the mods please move this to OT.

I had a 9 MR, it was pretty nice. With under $1,000 in mods it made 350awhp/350awtq on 93 octane. Handling was incredible.

Downside was it ate tires like candy and it was out of steam at the end of 4th gear (120mph). It could beat almost anything off the line to 120mph, but after that even a stock E46 M3 could reel it in given enough room. No top end at all.

2002 Honda NSX-R (NA2) in Championship White ...jk any NSX will do but I need a car as daily driver and I don't want to treat my NSX as a beater.

Someday, someday...

My next new car is either a 2008 Accord V6 6MT or Hyundai Genesis. (I'm being realistic)!

amsfoto · 03-11-2009, 04:53 AM

Unrealistically, A Carrera GT.

Realistically, an e60 M5 or a Nissan Skyline R32 GTR

My unicorn is unicron

Perpetrator · 03-11-2009, 11:59 AM

A pristine E30 M3. I don't have dispensible income, nor do I have good wrenching skills, so this car will always elude me.

Genericuser1 · 03-11-2009, 02:44 PM

M3. Was very close to getting an e46 but then expected to buy a new house in a couple of years and bought a new, cheaper car instead. Low and behold the housing market went to crap so didn’t move. Fair chance that an M3 could be my next car.

KkSc · 03-11-2009, 03:03 PM

Skyline R33~~

E82tt6 · 03-11-2009, 03:10 PM

NSX. Almost pulled the trigger SO many times.

Chewyjr15 · 03-11-2009, 03:13 PM

r33....

NewSong · 03-11-2009, 03:20 PM

E92 M3
Nissan GTR

We'll see during the Summer.

E92AXM · 03-11-2009, 03:26 PM

E46 M3

holson · 03-11-2009, 04:58 PM

Mercedes 500E / E500 (92-94)

ZJP · 03-11-2009, 05:50 PM

Toyota Supra TT

Schn3ll · 03-11-2009, 09:27 PM

+1 on the Supra... came close but kept telling myself its a 15 year old car and the pricing never justified it... maybe someday.

Garduna · 03-11-2009, 09:41 PM

I'd say mine may have been the TTS from Audi. No chance of me getting that tho since I'll likely get a TTRS if/when it arrives to NA

Plan B · 03-11-2009, 09:59 PM

964 RS America

MCMLXXXIX · 03-12-2009, 12:55 AM
