Easy:
Street Legal 917K

Then a street legal 962.
Then a 993/996 GT1.

But my all time favorite street legal factory car, is still this one.
It was incredible to see it on the street, for the 1998 Le Mans technical inspection.
Sadly, I don't think another one was produced and this one still belongs to the factory.

The reasons of my choice:
1) I live in Le Mans, so a street version of a car that won the race is a must.
2) Any kind of road legal 911 is too practical to stay in a garage and not beeing properly used.
3) A 917 is a real firework by itself! I have witnessed this during a PCGB event, when Richard Attwood has started his 917 during the night.
4) I would be scared to drive a 917, because it is basically a panzer engine in the middle of very little tubes...
5) I was born just a few days after that 917-053 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1971.

if that doesn't qualify, then an arena red 993 turbo s with black interior.
i wanna at least hear the doors click and slam.
and smell the full leather interior.
and gaze at the beautiful rear in a lovingly stupor.
some meagre compensation for the cruel criteria which prohibits any driving.
