Dream Car wish list

1994 - 1998 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Last of the air cooled turbo 911s. I keep hoping people will forget about them and they'll get cheap, but nope.

Nice Holden Monaro!

I was working at a Pontiac dealership when those were new. Lots of fun!:roflmao:

Yup! Exactly what it is all dressed up in Pontiac clothing. This is an 04' so it's the LS1 with a 6spd manual. Coil Overs all around and some sticky tires. Other than a Flowmaster exhaust and a cold air kit (which probably isn't worth two cents the way it's set up) it's pretty much stock. You can't really tell from the photo but the way it's set up the roofline is only a couple inches higher than a Corvette. It handles like you would not believe.

It could use about 100-150 more horsepower to be really interesting!
 
I'm going to go off the beaten path here and say that I'd get a car that isn't particularly valuable or even all that collectible, although they do have a rabid cult like following.

I've already owned and driven one of these cars but recently sold it because it was too expensive to keep and maintain.

1987 Merkur XR4ti

Mine looked like this one:

But if I had money to waste on stupid fun cars, then I'd be able to modify and restore it exactly the way I'd want to. I figure about $100,000 would be sufficient.

Passed on a '69 Camaro Pace Car (the real deal, no cheesy decals on the sides). On consignment at an independent dealer, pushy sales guy, had trouble getting questions answered. I almost caved when I started it - nothing like the sound of a small block Chevy!

So we "settled" for this '07 car. Tons of fun! Scared the crap out of me the first few times I put the pedal down. :hyper:
