Thanks Gordon, FBC resprayed then wrapped. Rest of the GTS's paint looks new. The other "ideal" car is the 79 928. LS3/525, 6 spd manual. 5 year project almost complete-what a beast ! T

The GT4 is a winner. It almost makes the 991 seem ordinary.
But for the dream car, I think a Singer.

As Dickie Meaden from EVO said when reviewing the Singer: "If I had to choose one car to own and drive until the day I die, it would be this".

McLaren F1, no contest.

If that's unobtainable a 2012 Lotus Elise with a Honda K motor pushing out 300 NA horses.

I'd take a Radical SR8 but prob more than my abilities so in the more accessible camp something along lines of BAC Mono / XTM X-Bow / Caterham Seven - but I guess I'm too focused on track.

ONE car forever just for sheer fun & driving enjoyment? Ferrari 250 GTO SWB: sound alone gives me goosebumps.

Me too but I'm so pissed at Porsche over the way they allocated cars I'm not sure I'll buy another. I was first at my dealer, one of the largest in the country, and they even went to bat for me with PCNA but alas it wasn't meant to be. Still have to admit, it's probably the best 911 ever.

Something light, agile, and playful with a manual transmission that's also comfortable.

I have driven countless cars (and ridden my share of motorcycles) and, by far, the most fun is the Super 7. Mine is 200+ hp and 1200 lbs (550KG).

My 2012 boxster spyder which I sold to buy a house. Now I have a 991.1 S. Honestly, not as fun but way more practical for a DD.

agreed, 991 is not as fun as a spyder and the spyder/gt4 is the ultimate fun car IMO while staying in the P-car family

I'd love to own a nice 997 GT3, but the real ideal car would have to be a Singer Porsche.
