Something happens and somehow you're given a blank cheque to choose whatever car you want (don't question it). An extraordinary force tells you that you must choose a car that would make for a daily driver, therefore actual race-cars don't count.
I would probably go for a Porsche 911 Carrera S. In black. What would you choose? |

Driving the bandwagon. This time it would be...
I would take a Hennessy Hellcat, a stock one be just fine too. No doubt I'd wrap it around a ghost gum within the first hour.. but still. Power: • 1,032 bhp @ 6,500 rpm * • 987 lb-ft torque @ 4,200 rpm * Performance: • 0-60 mph: 2.7 sec. ** • ¼ mile: 9.9 @ 142 mph • 1 Year / 12,000 mile limited warranty. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...e1000-upgrade/ |

997 GT3 RS 4.0 or a 991.2 GT3 RS (rumoured a manual may be back).
1969 Ford Mustang - Agent 47 or the one used to promote Baer brakes.

As a daily - I would LOVE to say Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0... I would totally drive that every day, race seats and all...
But the family man would have to settle for a 991 911 Turbo S, pretty sure they are 4 seat and could get my sons seat in the back...lol

Probably either a Chrysler 300S or a Jaguar XFR-S. Chrysler if I was just really rich and could afford a new car, Jaguar if someone was literally just giving me a free car. Regardless of how much money I had, I don't think I could ever bring myself to spend so much money on the Jag.

I reckon a lime green 71 lc gtr xu1 would do me quite nicely. Dont care if a new corolla does everything better, I just like them, they have style. Number 2 would be a bf2 ghia, but that's no fun, I settled for that 6 years ago. Still love it though. My old man has had the high end cars, jags, benz's and audi's, whilst lovely, they almost drive themselves and there is no sense of adventure

Audi RS6 Avant.
Hard to think of a better all round practical family car. Enough room in the back to load up Saturdays project supplies from Bunnings, and still gets to 100 in 3.7 seconds so you'll be first in line for that sausage sizzle
