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.

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. Thousands of tiny copper rivets holding individual strips of wood in place.   This one is by the same company today... I don't know anything about it... looks like it could go pretty fast.

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

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. Mike

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...

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.
