Here is my personal Top 5 list of cars that I have personally driven this year;

#5. 1970 Porsche 912 (4-cyl)
Classic long hood looks. decent power around town, but the 90hp 4-cyl limits the fun. Very hipster.

#4. 2008 Porsche 997 GT-3
Too fast. There, I said it. Sorry, but its true. There is no where to drive this car within reason except the track. Not being able to push it on the street (because of its huge capability) ends up limiting the fun.

#3. 1978 Porsche 911 SC
Classic air cooled 911 looks and feel plus good power. Liked it so much, I bought it.

#2. 1990 Honda NSX
Felt like a super car - great mid-engine design, reasonably fast, perfect seating position, Honda reliability.

#1. 1959 Corvette (C1)
What an icon! This car was fast but otherwise drove like a POS - steering was vague, drum brakes sucked, cornered like a Lincoln Continental. But that V-8 engine was incredible and that car looked like $1M. People would stop and point and gawk and take pic's while just driving by.
