2. Sagaris with LSxx conversion becuase its what they should have made
3. Ultima GTR and i've always wanted to build one
4. Massa Quattroportte for the boring stuff
5. Spyker C8 spider
6. Superlight R500 cos i want to see what all the hype is about.
7. Smart car with Hyabusa engine..just becuase its
