Post your dream car ideas!

mine is this, but imagine it with a 0.6 liter V10 in it :)

cool thing is, there's a place close to where I live called Late Model Engines, and they build custom engines, no matter how ridiculous.
 
Not to rain on your parade, but I would bet that if you search this board, you will find this thread has been done before once or twice.

What is it going to fit a remote control plane, boat, or car? A 0.6 litters V10 would be about 3.66 CID per cylinder or about 36.6 CID engine. If you made a "squared" engine that is an engine that the bore and the stroke are the same using that size engine it would have a bore and stroke of a little over 1.625 but less than 1.75 inches. Using 1.625 it comes out 33.70 and using 1.75 comes out 42 something CID.

I bet you're a riot at dinner parties :lol:
 
I didn't even understand a damn word he said. Well maybe the word "what".

OK I'll make it easy. Have you ever saw one of those visible V8 Model engines that you put together? It would have bigger pistons in it than what size motor he said. A lawnmower has a bigger piston. You know that is the round thing in side the motor that goes up and down real fast.:)

Don't worry, I read it again and got the main point you were making. Maybe he mistyped and meant 6.0L v10, although his car is not V10 worthy. To contribute relevance here, my dream car is.....

uh, sorry, how in the crap are you going to fit a 6-liter ANYTHING into a Honda Acty? it has a 660cc engine; 0.6 liters was no typo, dude.
 
Short of running it at 40,000 rpm, a 600cc V10 would have trouble powering a toothbrush.

I try not to dream about cars anymore, because the last time I did, I ended up buying it.

Looks as if I'm going to have to pay more attention to these newer fangled cars.
The smallest engine I remember that was in a car was the 1.3L three cylinder engine that was basically a modified motorcycle engine made for the Geo Metro XFI and it's sister car from Suzuki I forget the what that version was called.

Oh and the old 1968 Honda N600 but it only had 2 cylinders, produced 45HP and had a top speed of 77.1 mph. It also broke down a lot due to the small engine in a 1200 lbs car. That is 81.82 Hp per ton.
 
Used to be plenty of sub 1l cars in the UK... eg; Mini (850cc 4 pot), Fiesta (950cc 4 pot).
 
A road-legal version of the Nissan GT-R GT1, and the Mine's Skyline GT-R V-Spec N1.

Fully independent suspension (which, to get 20 inches, will have to be 14.5' wide at the widest point of travel...)
545ci. Mercury 1350 twin-turbo, 32 Valve engine, reworked for monster truck racing, running on methanol. Hoping for 2000+ hp ((Different from the engine described in this pic, since I changed my mind.))

Japan has had Kei car regulations in place for decades now. Cars in the category are limited to 660cc engines.

that, I have to say, Is an epic dream car.

my dreams have gotten slightly more realistic:

a 2010 Acura RL(or RL Type-R or Type-S if/when it comes out) with the ARX 02a engine and transmission, made to work with the RL's 4WD drivetrain. also, fully lightened and stripped down, with all sorts of rally racing bits to make it a neo-group-b rally car.(or a PPIHC Unlimited Class Car).
 
69' Chevy Cheyanne c10 short bed Dropped 3' front and 4' rear for a nice level and clean stance. 350 cid tuned to around 400hp mated to a late model camaro 6spd manual Fat M/T rears mounted on fat rear wheels(forgot the measurement I wanted) and pizza cutters up front. wheels will likely be either American racing Torq Thrust or the sames hopster or rebel. Paint he black and we're golden.

6000 pound behemoth accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.5 secs... It costs around a million... And it's good if you're a homeless yuppie...

Just give me the '06 Mine's BNR34 GTR V-Spec N1 Demo car and I'll be able to die a happy man... :)
 
That's Bill Caswell's if you didn't know. He's in the Baja1000 right now with it.

Edit: Take that back, he's out of the race now. Ripped out the steering rack. Hammered a new one in with a rock and called it quits. Truly badass.

Rover SD1 Vitesse with the Rover V8 engine. One of the coolest cars to ever be produced by this country. True British muscle.

MG ZT V8. British handling combined with a retuned Mustang V8 = Crazy Fast. :sly:
