1. What is your dream car?
I've got several but I'll just list the top three.
1) Boss 302 Mustang
2) 1978 Corvette g-Machine with competle modern suspension setup and engine.
3) 200x Mopar pony car
2. Why?
I'm a sucker for American muscle in all it's forms. The Boss 302 was possibly the most perfect example of a pony car I think think of. Fast could handle and looked wonderful. The 78 Vette because that was the year I was born, I love Vettes and they are the epitome of the American performance car. For 50 years Corvettes have been America's obtainable performer and ever since I was a kid I have liked them. 2000x Mopar pony car...this is just a rumor and I'm not sure if I'd even like it if they make it but the thoughts of a 400 horsepower 6.1 Hemi powered RWD 2+2 coupe that weighs in around 3400 lbs for around 28k would make my day. A perfect daily driver to enjoy during the week.
3. How close are you to owning your dream car?
Well not that close but not as far away as I once was.
Close to finishing up a degree so when I get a job in IT in 5-6 years I'll easily have the cash. The first may never be a reality as REAL Boss Mustangs are expensive and rare and a replica isn't really an option.
The second depends on getting a house first as that little project would be time consuming it would be a complete frame off restomod. Disk brakes at the four corners,coil over suspension, 18 inch wheels,383 stroker or the new all aluminum LS7 if it would fit, T-56 tranny...so on and so forth. Basically I want a car with all the power and comforts of 2000 with the looks of the 78. The cars aren't that pricey and the mods aren't THAT expensive it could all be done for likely mid 30s which is cheaper than a new Vette but it would take a while to get it all just right.
The Mopar pony car only depends on two things...Will they make it...will I like it. If both are affirmative THAT will likely be the one I'll have first. I want a modern day classic and I love the old school Mopars and with the new engines they have the best power potential and to become instant classics but if they screw it up I'll make do with a Special edition Mustang.
4. Do you honestly believe that it can happen?
Yeah all of them can happen. None of my dream cars are going to be insanely costly some of them are going to be rare but I don't have the desire for the Lamborghini or the Ferraris of the world so at some point unless I become a complete fuck up in life which I'm not counting on I'll have at least two of the three and then I can move on to other things.
