Failing access to a supercar, I might try to get my hands on a 1977 Datsun 280z.
I've always liked that car.

Dream ride: Factory armored & supercharged Audi A8 W12 w/ ride flats & sub-micron filtered ventilation.
Not knowing what's ahead & how 'serious' the competition may get, I may now ignore small arms fire, spike strips, tear gas, etc. AWD & traction assist programs help tremendously with any 'less than optimal' road conditions.
Could get if I had to:
Mitsubishi Lancer EVO-9. Quite possibly the best factory built rally car around.
Would drive if forced to leave now:
My ride, a Yamaha FJR1300.
Not my bike, but same make/model/year/color.

I agree. My choice would be the beat up mid '70s Ford pick-up. A race like this is more about sheer will and guts as opposed to speed and technology. Them high power rides require an enormous amount of maintenance but a beat up Ford will run with no oil or bumpers for few more miles.

Have you done, or considered, the fuelling spec mods to fix the excessive lean mixtures at low rpms?

I admit the Challenger Nathan is diving now is awsome. But to finish that race with the landscaping truck would have been great. I would have loved to see him cross the finish line with that bent up crate. Loved it when the bumper got all twisted. It added to the character of the truck.
I wouldn't be surprised if he ulitmately does as a symbol of him crossing the finish line as the new, good Alex and not the old criminal Alex. Plus, hes in the truck in the credits!

Browncoat1, I see you already changed your avitar over to Alex Tully's picture. 
I'd probably have to take my other love out onto the road: my own '66 Falcon with a 351W. Of course, that means I'd probably lose...

Well, as long as we're hi-jacking threads...
I had the TPS replaced under recall, and that cleared (perhaps only improved) my low RPM problems. Next on the list is a Throttle Body Synch which I suspect will clear a small stutter that I ocassionally experience (It's nothing much, and you'd have to really love the bike to hear it, but it's there).
Are you referring to the +7 Barbarian Mod to the injectors? Or something a bit more radical requiring a PCIII? I've heard of folks getting good results from both, but others have restored to factory; so I'll wait until it upsets me
So, yeah, I'd take my bike

I dont know how to post a pic but this what I would LOVE to Drive. If I wanted to Win that is.
1001 horsepower equip the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with a level of acceleration unheard of in the sports car segment, propelling it from 0 to 60 mph in just three
seconds and past the 200 mph mark in a mere 14 seconds. Thanks to its 923 lb-ft, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s enormous propulsive power is not exhausted until it reaches
252.3 mph (406 km/h): the maximum speed for which chassis and drive train have been designed. Any further performance escalation is limited by current design and construction.
