Hey guys,
So here is the thing, me and my cousin both have the same life objective, moving out of Brazil, to USA, being citizens (of corse), build a family, and the most important... BUY OUR DREAM CARS!
Now his dream car is the Ferrari California T, period. Nothing i can do to change that... Its an awesome car but its damn hard to find a cooler car then that!! And thats why this is a dilemma...
Yeah, a dream car is a dream car, it should be what you like most and not what you think its better than ur friend's or family's car... But put it like this, me and this cousin have this competitive instinct that makes us compete EVERYTHING, EVERY TIME we're together...

So, my options are these:
-Audi R8 v10 ([Consider that a new gen. is on its way] I have eyes for this one since it came out)
-Porsche 911 Turbo S ([Facelift on the way] The performance just blows my mind)
-Aston Martin V12 Vantage S (it has looks, but lacks performance in relation to the Ferrari)
-Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 (My favorite of the bunch, but the price tag... Ouch... Even to dream of, but if it is the only one that pairs with the Ferrari here... I'll do the sacrifice)
-BMW M6 Competition Package (Not sure about this one)
-Corvette Stingray C7 Z06 (I know its not in production yet, but the c7 already looks nice and performs well)

So? Which of these cars you guys think its cooler or at least in pair with the California T?
Just want to know some opinions!
Thanks for the heads-up everyone!

OBS: Think of which of these cars would set up crowds in an event like gumball 3000

That is a bad question. The R8 is now dated (but just wait for the next gen), but it always looks so damn good. 911 Turbo, aahh, it's for me..and Huracan..Just like I did say, a bad one.

Damn... Seems that i caught u in the same dilemma as me...
 
i'd go with the R8 (V8 or V10, what do you want?) of the current gen, a used V8 shouldn't cost you too much but you only get 420hp

i'd also replace the huracan with a gallardo seeing how they have depriciated (if you want to take baby-lambo further there is always the uracco)

It would be the v10 for me, thanks on the opinion!
 
Now here is the thing, the two that really get me in a dilemma are the R8 and the 911 Turbo S... And here is why:
-R8 V10: everything is perfect, if you don't consider the acceleration... 0-60 in 3.5 is okay, 0-120 in the 11 second range... Meh... But 0-180 in 40 seconds (according to autobild)?? I thought i was driving a car with a mid mounted v10... This problem can be explained by the low torque on the r8...
-911 Turbo S: Outstanding performance but... Where's the sound? I've seen some people on the forum saying it sounds like a vacuum cleaner machine, and thats quite true... And second... 911s are everywhere... Not the turbo or turbo s, but the original car is sooo mainstream that when i see one i don't even get excited...
So guys, these are the reasons for my dilemma... :unsure:
 
The California T was designed by Ferrari with women in mind, so it's really a ladies car, which IMO makes any of your other choices as a cooler prospect for a dude than the California.

Go to UGR and put a turbo on that R8, 1000bhp will solve anything :LOL:(y)

On the other hand...the most cool car of your list is the Aston!!! It will be the most looked after and the California will look like a Dacia next to it.:whistle:

Sure the aston is gorgeous... But it needs a dual clutch tranny, seriously!
And about modding the car... When it comes to supercars and cars as expensive as those... Not really for me... But if i was a millionaire, i would totally get a REGULA R8 Spyder or a R8 Toxique!
Now when talking about the GTR, that would be modded, like any other japanese car, or any sportscar under 80k dollars...
