Home and Auto Car-nal Desires: Round 1, Heat 6 - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 02-25-2022, 10:43 AM

We have 84 entries in the tournament, and we'll collectively narrow the list down to the one Chiefsplanet dream car.

PICK TWO FROM EACH LIST ON THE POLL.

1977 Pontiac Can-Am https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...6&postcount=99

1939 Delahaye https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=142

Valkyrie https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...0&postcount=44

2007 Porsche 997 GT3 RS https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=150

Recall the rules below. (Rule #5 was modified slightly from the nomination thread.)

1. This vehicle will be yours at no purchase cost.
2. You will keep your current vehicles, so no need to worry about fitting a baby seat in it or being able to haul mulch.
3. You're responsible for parking it.
4. You pay for gas or electricity.
5. Insurance and maintenance up to $3,000 per month is free to you. You cover the next $1,000 if the expenses are higher, and then after that the expenses are covered. So for a high-end vehicle you'll cover a max of $1,000 per month.
6. The vehicle must be street-legal.
7. The vehicle must actually exist. It cannot be a cartoon or concept drawing. However, it can be a production vehicle, a concept vehicle, a custom vehicle, or anything else that is real.
8. The vehicle being nominated is the exact vehicle shown. You cannot change the color, the interior, the engine size, etc.
9. You cannot use the vehicle to make money. It's only for your personal use.
10. You cannot sell the vehicle.
11. Any type of street-legal vehicle is allowed. You can nominate a car, a truck, a minivan, an RV, a semi-truck, a motorcyle, a classic car, a school bus, whatever. As long as it meets the rules above, it's eligible.

Rainman, as per his custom, classes up the joint.

Glad we have something that isn't a muscle car or a hypercar in here. It was needed.

And yeah, that thing should absolutely advance. The other 3....{shrug}

**Dartgod** · 02-25-2022, 01:09 PM

What a meh round.

**Bowser** · 02-25-2022, 01:16 PM

That Delahaye is sharp. I'd have to get grandma's wallpaper off the seats, though.

**Buehler445** · 02-25-2022, 01:17 PM

LOL I see Bug has inserted himself into the competition. I'm going the supercar and the Porsche. That Delahaye is intriguing, but **** me that cabin looks smaller than the super car.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the interior. It looks like you're sitting a parlor with no seat belts.

But the exterior? Wow. It practically screams "mysterious billionaire".

The Porsche is just another GT3 from what I can tell.

And given that Porsche changes their look about every 25 years, it's just another car w/ early 90s supercar looks and some big chunks of fiberglass attached to it.

And my memory is that the GT3 isn't even AWD, so that even takes some of the Porsche Charm out of it. It's just a flashier Carrera S.

Fine car, don't get me wrong. I'd drive it (for a bit, before it kills me, as all GT3s invariably due - their reputation as a widowmaker is damn near unrivaled). But in a dream car competition? It can't hang with that crazy 30s SteamPunk thing or a genuine modern world eater like the Valkyrie.

The GT3 cars aren’t killers the early GT2 cars will get you. The RS is a step up from the norm GT3’s and command a pretty premium. And no AWD is a problem? you want the auto and targa too too? It’s definitely a big boy track car.

Delahaye and the Porsche

The Valkarie's windshield wiper would drive me nuts.
