Nice looking Toyota. Still wouldn't want one though.

Probably I'd buy a McLaren of some description.

Ha, just joking, I know it's a Koenigsegg One:1 Nice car!

Well if money is no object it wouldn’t be one, it would be a garage full.:) But if I need to pick one, how about a 959?

berettafan 02-16-2021 12:22 PM

Probably something Italian from the 50s or 60s.

For more modern cars i'd love to have a green 997 GT3RS.

1962-64 Ferrari 250 GTO. Most beautiful car ever, imo.

'Zactly, Hmm - I'd start with the following:

For the vintage Euro-wing
Porsche 904 GTS
Dino 246 GT
Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing
Lancia Stratos
Lambourghini Miura P400 SV

Modern Euro-wing:
Porsche Cayman 718 GT4
Alfa Romeo 4C
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (for Mrs. Z-man)
Maserati Ghibli S Q4
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S

Toy Hauler:
GMC Sierra Denali

I think that's a good start...

Yes, this is in my top 5 but the OP stated only one. I have a list of cars if I had unlimited deep pockets.

427 Cobra. Yeah, I know people say it (or rather all the replicas) are a bit of a one-trick pony, but it's been a dream car since I was a kid.

Berettafan, while it’s not green if you are ever in CO let me know and you can drive my 7.2RS.

For me, 959, F40 or real 427 Cobra

Rawknees'Turbo 02-16-2021 09:22 PM

Mine would probably be a 993 GT2 Evo.

Ferrari 250 gto is an obvious choice, but I've always had this rare Ford in my top 3 (or 5). The GT40's ill-fated successor, the P68.

Really? What year is that from? Most of the ones I have seen don't look anything like that except for one that the owner admitted he had modified.

It looks like an early 80s GT-5. I can’t be more specific about the year, they started making them around 1980 and made them like that for around four or five years. Nothing to do with Ford, so quite a different car than the early ones

Here's a 71 De Tomaso that has not been spoilered. The core shape is the same.

I don't mean to barge in since you asked java but I struggled naming it last night. Not used to all the bling stuff

By all means, barge right on in.

I'd take a long-wheelbase Maybach, if it came with Liz Hurley as a driver.
