The T is my first.

My second will be the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with the 8.0 Litre W16 engine (no not V8, W18).

I'll have to add a turbo 'cause it only produces 736kW & 1,250Nm stock. :spoton:

Geez...Where do I start.....I cant keep track of how many I have had...But at the moment I have 3xR32 Nissan Skyline GTR's (2 in Black and one in midnight blue with purple pearl), MY97 Black WRX Limited edition Wagon, 2004 XR6 Turbo and just sold 2x300ZX twin turbo's last week... :spoton:

Anyway the GTR's are for sale and the WRX and the XR6 are driven daily between my wife and I. We also drive the GTR's when we get the urge....As for how many I have owned. I will have to get back with that one. Though I am already on my 2nd XR6 Turbo... :spoton:

Second turbo car here.

First was a '74 KE25 Corolla. That thing was nuts. It had a 3T celica motor fully bored/stroked with forgies etc. running on straight LPG(none of this duel fuel garbage). Massive porting job on the head and a T04 hanging off the side runnng around 27psi. Two stage water/meth injection (at full noise it was feeding in around 950ml/min!) kept the the thing from detonating to pieces, coupled to a celica alloy case 5 speed and an alfa spider LSD. Throw in around $4000 worth of bilstein suspension, and voila! One scary car!!!

Oh did I mention it only weighed around 800kgs!!!

It had around 147rwkw, and 560 odd rwNm!

Top speed I got out of it was 260kph(on a private driveway of course! :tease: ) and I reckon it still had a bit left in her!!! Maybe 280!!!

Ahhh the memories!

Haha!!

2 prior for me,

1st - Manual yellow Volvo 850 T5-R (awesome drivers car - still miss it!)

2nd - Auto Volvo C70 Convertible, transmission much smoother than XR6T. hardly any lag (Best 11 speaker Stereo)- just a cruiser.

3rd - Current SSS XR6T - (couldn't afford Volvo V70R) going great guns - no regrets, plus Ford own Volvo.
