This topic has a lot of really bad advice. Take a photography class, or you'll make a lot of mistakes you won't even know about. You need to learn how to compose and take good pictures or your DSLR will just be making a lot of expensive snapshots. You have to know how to visualize the scene to make all the lines just right, which takes a lot of practice. Extremely minor adjustments to camera position make a huge difference for your composition. Don't fool yourself that you already know about this stuff, because if you did, you wouldn't have made this thread.
As far as what lens(es) you need, it depends on how far away from the car you want to be shooting and how much you want to capture. Keep in mind, though, a pro can crush an amateur with a DSLR using just his iphone, all day long.
