Default What car is next on your wish list?

As the title says, what do you have on your list for your next car to buy? Or on your wish list. Keeping it realistic, and using the criteria that it would have to be something I could realistically hope to afford someday (which rules out the GT1 for me), here's my list off the top of my head...

In no particular order of priority:
1) 1989 Speedster
2) 1994 Speedster
3) 1994 964 3.6 Turbo (I would say an 'S', but again, I'm being realistic...)
4) 911 GT3 Mark I or Mark II (ok, that's stretching the realistic budget a bit...)
5) 993 C2 S Coupe

Non-Porsche list:
1) Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe
2) Mid year (prefer 1966 or 1967) Corvette (with today's prices, this is probably pushing the bounds of 'realistic' for me...)
3) 1978 Corvette Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (or the pace car version, but it has to be L82 with 4 spd)
4) Triumph TR250 (I'd say a TR5, but I'm being realistic)

I'm sure there are others I've forgotten...

My next car will be a 964 C-2 coupe for DE & spirited weekend driving. Ideally, the color is red. Why would you choose any other color?

Porsche:
1. 74 RS Replica
2. 1994 964 turbo
3. 993 twin turbo

Non-Porsche
1. 1972 Dodge Challenger
2. 1971 Chevrolet SS Chevelle
3. BMW X5 (2007) Good company car.

That is all that is on my wish list at the moment that is realistic. Likewise, I had to think about it, and I'm sure there is much more.

I would really like to buy a 964 turbo or a 993 C2S... it will probably be quite a while before the budget allows for it though.

Porsche

964RS
GT3 MK1 or 2
928GTS (always liked the look of the late 928's)

Non Porsche

Subaru Impreza - never had/drove one but the boy racer in me still wants one
Golf R32
Audi RS2
Range Rover Vogue (new shape)

Prob. never get any of the Porsches but you can wish
And would prob. never p/ex the 964 for any of the non p cars as the depreciation scares the sh*t out of me!!

edited to add : I would love a DB9 or DB7 vanquish - pure class

Both are within the realms of possibility if I play my cards right.

Cool

Here is mine:

Porsche
997 GT3RS... ohhh I just read your post again... it has to be a realistic list Then forget about the 997 GT3RS but that is a dream car for me...
Seriously, on the Porsche side it will have to be:
1. RSR... that is why I am getting the 911SC... with the intent into making it into an RSR look alike...


2. 550 replica (I already have the engine and tranny in my rail buggy for this one


3. 993 C2S with Aerokit


Non-Porsche:
1. Jaguar 1953 C-Type (a replica of course since I can't touch a real one...). Always loved the looks and sound of these cars...

I sometimes get this thing in the my head that I should sell the 964 and buy the 80's icons that I never had.
Something like...

mk1 Golf GTI - 1600 4 spd
Renault 5 GT turbo
Escort RS1600i - blk with silver stickers
M3 - old shape with twin headlights lhd (as all the legit ones were)
mk2 GTI 16v - oak grn like the one I did have but sold 2 years ago much to my regret.

Mentioned this to the missus and I've still got the Porsche if you know what I mean!!!
