Some times I wish really hard that I had my 55 Chevy two door wagon back. Not a Nomad. $75 with out an engine. Took $500 over the next four months to put a 327 and a four speed in it and beef up the suspension.

Why? No smog check required.

Nice call on the '71 240 Z, I absolutely love those older Z cars. Like others on this board I also have an immense liking of 3rd Gen RX-7's.

3rd Gen RX's are nice - new engines aren't.

I'd want an earlier M3 or an NA 2nd Gen 300zx (if anything, just to make sure that one of the species didn't get riced ) A Corrado wouldn't be bad either.

Top Three: (All mid-engined!)
Lotus Elise
Toyota MR2 Spyder or Turbo
Acura NSX

Others I would consider:
Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG
Mazda RX-7 (3rd Gen)
Chevy C5 Corvette Z06
Ferrari 308
BMW 330ci or M3
Mini Copper-S

There are more, but I'll stop. What can I say? I have a big wish list!

Nissan 240 SX with a silvia motor swap (SR20DET motor, 2.0L turbo with lots of potential, really it is the 951 from japan).

or

Subara 2.5 RS with a Turbo kit and lots of tuning

or

Audi UR quattro (the UR stands for Uber, german for orignial I think, came with a 2.3L turbo motor and a K26 Turbo with some tuning they can be beasts)

or

BMW M Coupe (I love these things)

or

Toyota Supra (so much potential)

or

Audi 4000 Quattor with the 2.3L 20v Turbo motor put in (can you say sleeper?)

or

Datsun 240Z (with the 280 block and the 240 head, the later 5 speed tranny, brakes of a toyata pick up truck, and panasport wheels)

or

Volvo 850R (fun wagon with a turbo, would be fun to take to the track and pass people with a wagon)

or

Super 7 replica of some sort (preferably the Megabusa, the CF bodies hyabusa powered go-kart on steroids, set the 0-100-0 over the McLauren F1)

Considering my wish list also includes a 928, 914, and a 911 I had better get to saving my pennies....lol

The new 350Z looks interesting. Haven't driven one yet.
