My dream(wet) car: 288GTO
Other considered cars: 959, Pantera GTS, F40

I lust after the 288 more than any other object in this world. As for the others, well....I wouldn't kick them out of the garage :)

Speaking of the McLarenF1, the Bruce Canepa (_the_ 959 importer) down in Santa Cruz says that his 959s chew up his F1s and spit them out. He also says the 959 is much more stable at 200+ mph.

without a doubt the CGT, on track or off track, simply unbelievable

hey, i'd just like to say that this car is amazing! :eek: 934? do you know anything more about it? love to get more details and photos. looks like my car on steroids!

also where are you in michigan? i grew up in Troy....family works in auto business....

This is what I have always wanted and to be wealthy enough to get factory maintenance training and stay home and work on it all day.

A 959 is a very close second.

I'll take 1 each of these: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C Tulipwood Torpedo. You could cruise
all day at 70mph in these in 1924. $15,000 new at a time when a Rolls cost 1/3 less.

This one is by the same company today... I don't know anything about it... looks like it could go pretty fast.

There more grates on that thing than the Saleen S7(?).

I cannot believe no one said the Delorean from 'back to the future' !

Obviously, the time machine part of it would have to be functional... ;)

With that, one could just pop to the correct year and test drive a *brand new* 550 spyder or Farrari Dino or Model T for that matter.

Then, you could buy one and set it up for delivery to your father when he turns 18....

Another vote for the 959. I see it as Porsche at it's pinnacle. I would drive it every day too, and try and use that snow setting on the suspension :D

The new GT40 Ford would be nice. i saw one at the auto show. I must have looked for a hour. Sweeeeeeeet.

Vintage: Just too many

Sir70T? There is a certain satisfaction to being happy with what you have, isn't there? Beautiful car...I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.

If it truly is only one car for the next ten years, I am going to need 5 seats and a trunk and that spells M5.

Because a four door can be fast too.

69NineEleven, I've got to agree with you on this one. The original GTO has always been the most beautiful car in the world to me. I watched some SPEED coverage of the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca the other day and they had 22 or 23 of the 40+ GTO's built. I was in heaven!! My second choice would have to be a Lamborghini Miura, the second most beautiful car ever made!

a NART Spyder

beyond that, futuro upgrades to my 911 to cut the wt. down to about 1,000 lbs. .... could resolve some suspension issues (modernize).

Yes I wouldn't mind having the new GT40 - much better looking than the CGT tho I'm sure the latter is a better grocery hauler...

<b>Ferrari Dino 246 GT for me please!</b>

If I could have any car.....
 

Let see:

Ford GT40....maybe but thanks to Ford, soon to be too common.
57 Chevy fuelie convertible 4 speed.....maybe
250 Ferrari GTO.....real possibility
1932 Chrysler roadster w/sidemounts.....hmmm
1965 Alfa TZ or TZ2.....drool!

Porsche 904 w/4 cam engine......yeah, yeah!
Jaguar XKE 3.8......sigh!
2005 Bentley Continental GT.....(sell the house and dog.....)

Way too many choices. I might be able to get down to 10 or15 but probably not just one!
