Default O/T If you could have ANY Car, What would it be ?

If I had no kids, one home and less financial commitments I would own a Ferrari F430 Coupe RED ! Other than that, I am TRULY HAPPY With My 996 - Since I have always wanted a 911, I feel happy with my choice, a F430 is simply icing on the cake.

904? CGT? GT1? tough choice. I have always loved the 904. I'd probably go with a gt1.

CGT. No question.

Although an F430 spyder might be my choice for a more liveable daily driver.

Would be a toss-up between the following:

'73 917-30 (Penske Sunoco car)
'88 959 Sport Edition (White/Grey)
'87 962 H (#14 Lowenbrau Special by Holbert)
'87 962 C (#17 Shell/Dunlop car)
'97 GT1 (Factory 996 based race car driven in the BPR Series & Le Mans)
'98 GT1 (Factory Le Mans winner....probably the last we will ever see at this rate!)
'99 996 (Wait! I already own one. Man, I must be the luckiest guy on Earth )

I have to second the McLaren choice. The Enzo isn't even a close second. Actually, it's not even second at all Not sure what is. I just know I'd take a CGT over an Enzo any day of the week.

Central driving position, gold-lined engine bay, lightweight, no electronics to interfere... the sound is intoxicating. I've heard the complaints (steering, goes through clutches), but something tells me I could see past them

In this order for me:

1) McLaren F1 spec'ed out just for me.
2)Lambo Diablo GTR
3)CarreraGT/GT1
4)GT3 RS
5) RX-7 Spirit R

If it has to be for the area i live in and within a reasonable amount of money, i'd have to jump straight to an RX-7 because my silver bullit has treated my very well and it's a keeper (a GT3 may be added downthe road..or a GT2 just for te amazing rush of turbo's on fullboost..it's like cocaine)

If I was going to KEEP the car, it would be the F430 Spider followed by the F355 Spider.

If someone was going to give me one, I would get the Bugatti Veyron just to feel what 1001 hp was like. Then I'd sell it and get the Ferraris and a 997TT.

Let's be real here - if you're talking about something to stick in your garage and trailer it to car shows every six months, then a CGT or Ferrari is the way to go.

If I had to DRIVE it, it would have to be a 997TT.
