4) The superlight must be road registered.


Category 1 - A Daily Driver. (Comfortable to use everyday with a decent boot)
Category 2 - A Grand Tourer. (2 Door saloon for mowing highways down in style)
Category 3 - A 4WD. (Ideal to take the family to the snow & tow the race car)
Category 4 - A Race Car. (You are going to race in ALMS, FIA GT1, GT2 or GT3)
Category 5 - A Superlight track car. (Ideal for trackdays or runs up the hills)


I look forward to reading your 5 choices!
Cat 1: Audi S6 Avant
Cat 2: Aston DBS
Cat 3: Ford Raptor
Cat 4: GT3R...I'm racing in the VLN series
Cat 5: GT2RS

Cat 1: Daily Driver - Porsche 911 turbo S (Atlas Grey w/ the tall, thin Ukrainian babe option package)
Cat 2: Grand Tourer - Ferrari 599 Fiorino (Non-metallic black HGTE)
Cat 3: A 4WD - Porsche Cayenne turbo S (Non-metallic black hold the dog net and luggage cover)
Cat 4: Race Car - Porsche RS Spyder (track filth smudge)
Cat 5: Superlight trackcar - Ferrari F430 Scuderia (Grigio Silverstone w/ a 6 speed)

BTW, Wednesday August 18th and I'm east bound on east bound on Hwy. 88 just outside of Woodfords south east of Lake Tahoe near the Hwy. 89 Monitor Pass interchange just cruising along in the Cayenne turbo S when an extraordinary four car line up passes me headed west. In order, a Ferrari 458 (gorgeous car) followed by a Merc AMG SLS (odd looking car) followed by an Audi R8 ( maybe a V10 judging by the company but how to tell when headed the other way? ) and an Ice Blue 2011 911 turbo S. By the time I passed the turbo S I was bouncing up and down in my seat. What a collection!

The 458 was REALLY fantastic looking.

I think you can make this exercise more realistic and attainable if you were to stipulate a final condition that puts the budget at $1M.
