997 Targa coz Targa's rule
997 GT3 RS to go round and round in circles
Cayenne Turbo S to haul things really fast
CGT to go to the supermarket and get groceries

oldE 06-19-2007 09:45 AM

For a little top-down fun: Boxster
To keep the wife happy on longer trips: Bentley Continental GT
To haul those lazy horses: F250 diesel
Winter 'beater' : Passat diesel wagon

Ok, so I've got a pile of money left over. Time to build a bigger garage.

Jordi, your 3 classics were next in line for me.

barney911rs 06-19-2007 01:58 PM

The AMG S65 seems to be a popular non-Porsche choice. I've seen a couple of people mention it after I posted it.

911teo 06-19-2007 02:05 PM

- Porsche Panamera for the family (alternatively MB CLS 63 AMG)
- Ford GT (check)
- Porsche 997 GT3 RS
- Krafwerkz 917 replica

I do have some spare change...

Buy yourself some 917 reproduction centerlocks for that sexy beast of yours ;)

911teo 06-19-2007 02:30 PM

I meant with that list... U said $1m.... I have probably more than half a mil left!

kaisen 06-19-2007 02:34 PM

That's what I meant too, although I'm sure the wheels won't set you back THAT much

pwd72s 06-19-2007 03:21 PM

NEW??? They'd be "washing machines" all...so I then only see the need for 3.

Full sized Dodge pickemup for hauling stuff, 4X4 in case I wanted to haul off road.

Maybe a Jeep Wrangler for beating around the back country, fishing small creeks, hunting, etc.

Infinity G-35 for the highway trips, hauling groceries, etc.

Nothing made today by Porsche interests me in the slightest.

So, the above are way less than a million? I'd probably just cycle what's left over into our investment portfolio...

C'mon what's wrong with a Euro-spec GT3 RS? Or a Cayman S?
Yes they are a little expensive... but this is monopoly money, no?

A G35? Why?

VINMAN 06-19-2007 06:49 PM

Mid 80's 930

Detomaso Pantera

AC Cobra

Already have my Dodge diesel dually

I'm with pwd72s. I have no interest in anything Porsche currently makes, or made after the mid 90's for that matter.

speeder 06-19-2007 11:35 PM

It's a fantasy exercise, and they have to be new. So no, "change left over for 401k, blah, blah, etc... :rolleyes:

New?

Ferrari 430 coupe black/black w/ F1 trans.

Top-of-line Chevy pick-up 4x4 w/ new body style. (Don't like new Ford restyle).

BMW 760il or Audi S8 in black/black or other beautiful dark metallic color.

Porsche 997 GT3 RSR for track days.

That's a pretty nice garage, no? ;)

Noah930 06-20-2007 04:47 AM

1. Cayman as a daily driver/track car--but with a 3.8 installed by either Ruf or Farnbacher-Loles. Or, heck, a GT3 motor, if they can fabricate a way for it to fit. Perhaps in Mexico Blue.

2. F430. Actually I prefer the aesthetics of a 360. But a Ferrari's a Ferrari, and by these rules all cars must be in current production. Red, of course.

3. Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG wagen. For hauling around the family. Colored after the Silver Arrows.

4. Is Carroll Shelby still making those "new" 1967 427 Cobras? That's gotta be my favorite car of all time. Blue with white stripes.

I think my total bill only comes out to about $600K.

cairns 06-20-2007 05:09 AM

A Ruf GT3 made to my specs (light blue metallic with a wine red interior)
The Lamborghina Miura formerly owned by the Shah of Iran
A Mercedes Benz SSK (the chiffon roadster with the French body- I forget the carroussier)
A Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta Lusso or 1957 Testa Rossa or 330P3 or 275 GTS- any one of 'em alone would make me happy.

My bill comes to millions not sure how many.

deathpunk dan 06-20-2007 06:03 AM

-Tacoma ext cab 4x4 5 spd for hauling old dirt bikes/dogs/stuff around.
-Audi S4 Avant v8 6 spd daily driver/long trip car. Or Legacy GT wagon mit stick trans.
-1973 911T coupe with fun bits underneath but stockish exterior, maybe swap a 3.0 in with EFI and hot cams?
-Cayman S

Godddamn I'm a simple man. BUT this would leave money and room for my many fantasy bikes...jeez the early watercooled 125s alone would require at least 5...1980 Mugen Honda 125, 81 YZ125, 81-84 RM125, 83 CR125...

Aerkuld 06-20-2007 10:02 AM

It gets tough if you have to pick currently available and new.
My all time favorite car is the Ferrari 250 LM, but I don't think a million would cut it.
Same with a Bugatti Veyron - a bit out of the price range

A Ruf CTR3 would look nice next to a GT3 RS.
I'd quite like a practical car like an Audi RS4 Wagon.
A Mini Cooper S would make a nice little run about.

Different strokes, Matteo. At my age, and in my location, I am sooo done with "look at me" cars. It's far better to just blend into the herd...for me. To each his own.
