What's Your Dream Car?
 
Okay, money no object, what would be your top 3?

My list:

1. Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/alfa-romeo-tipo-33-stradale-sexiest-car-all-time

2. Lamborghini Miura
https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/timeless-classics-lamborghini-miura-p400

3. Ferrari 330 P4
https://petrolicious.com/films/the-ferrari-330-p4-is-one-sexy-beast

I know, I know, they're all Italians, so better make it four:

4. Porsche 904

Phew, that was close. Might've got blacklisted!

Most any Aston Martin built in the last +/- 50 years would do right nicely. Thank-you for asking.

Benitom 03-29-2017 04:45 PM

Cayman GT4 or restomodded 1982 911.

I would settle for a 2014 Carrera 911 w/sport exhaust or Cayman/Boxster GTS.

gomarlins3 03-29-2017 05:11 PM

1. 1967 Shelby Cobra
2. 1977 Pontiac Trans Am full Bandit Edition
3. Porsche 356

Jaguar E type drop head (convertible for those who don't speak English)
Alfa Romeo boat tail Duetto( Dustin Hoffman's car in the movie The Graduate)
Ferrari F40

But actually I think that my favorite car is one that I had, Alfa Romeo gtv6. Kind of rare, very very pretty and it was an absolute joy to drive.

I have it already and its Green (my Huracan). However, If I where to get my ultimate dream car it would be the One:1 - Koenigsegg | Koenigsegg

BirdDog 03-29-2017 10:42 PM

Ok, for me, it was always a Vector...

Back in the 80's, that would have been the Vector W2 Twin Turbo...
(back then I think I called it the Vector Twin W2)...

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1490855853.jpg


These days, it would have the be the Vector W8 Twin Turbo...

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1490855908.jpg


Until I can afford one of those, my Boxster S will do quite nicely, thank you!

alex.rhodes 03-30-2017 03:58 AM

For me it would be a 1979 911 turbo. Brown exterior and either the brown or black pasha interior.

A Boxster with 500 reliable horsepower

morgal48 03-30-2017 05:39 AM

1. Singer
2. Mercedes 300 SL Roadster
3. Duesenberg SJ

DWBOX2000 03-30-2017 07:05 AM

I'm working on it.

New exhaust-done
Lower suspension-done

Open items:
Lighter seats
Lighter frunk, trunk
RS door panels if possible
Aluminum pedals
New roll bar
Additional color to body (no idea yet)

Light enough were the car is a bit more tossable but not so light that I can hear every divot in the road.

If you don't already know, you might be surprised as to who wrote the original book.

I am a person of simple tastes -

Jaguar E Type Coupe Series 1 with 4.2 liter engine, full synchromesh transmission and glassed over headlights

1960's Ford GT 40 Mk II

Cayman GT 4

Something Ferrari with a 12 cylinder engine and manual transmission

PaulE 03-31-2017 01:00 PM

Sorry, but when I hear Singer in a discussion of cars, the first thing that comes to mind is always this. The Singer you guys are referring to is still a Porsche to me!

schnellman 03-31-2017 01:14 PM

Always gotta have a P car, but....
 
My dream car has always been a Ferrari Dino 246 GT

I'm very lucky. I own this. Done. :cheers:

Nine8Six 03-31-2017 07:35 PM

CGT. And another CGT, in a different color. They just got to sound identical.

Will always remember test-driving the only one we have here in Shanghai (friend-of-a-friend). Wasn't a dream car anymore, it instantly became an obsession and for weeks if memory serves well. Can still hear this car today, occasionally passing on the blvd nearby our condo. It is annoying each and every time I tell ya.

Dream boy, dream on :D

What can I say, I'm a Wisconsinite!

Seriously, my 01 Boxster S is my favorite of all the cars I've owned. Dream car with no $ constraints - in my youth it was the Lamborghini Countach. Now I +1 the 16 Boxster S. Daily Driver capability, peerless on the twisties, and luggage space for the long haul.

I'm kind of fond of the one in my garage.
I honestly don't think I could want much more. :)

I have been Jones'n for this car ever since it came out. Ferrari 360 Modena in this color.

I believe I have the car. These cars are balanced so well they have great potential. They just need a few of the right tweaks.

Pominoz 04-01-2017 03:12 PM

981 Boxster Spyder in Gulf racing blue with black wheels :D

Or the next Boxster they make with a N/A flat six, that'll probably be rather collectable if it's a limited edition.

Long term, if the EU collapses, maybe we'll get the flat 6 back in all Boxsters :dance:

hah! if the eu collapses perhaps we can buy back some of those air-cooled porsches that they've been gobbling up sight unseen for the past few years.

honestly, i can't really picture myself in a cgt or any other super car. i'd feel like a douche driving down the street trying to avoid potholes and speed bumps, any girl worth her salt wouldn't be impressed, i couldn't take it to the track, you gotta worry about where to park it (you'd be one of those guys taking up two parking spaces, right beside guido in his b!tchin' camaro) and everyone i know would quietly resent me.

perhaps an r8, a gt4, even that new flat-crank mustang, or something vintage - an air-cooled 911 (or a 356 coupe) something britsh (an mga or e-type) italian (an alfa jr, pantera, or a 355 - ooh a 512 bbi!!! - i like the 360, but apparently really big compared to the 3x8/355). there's a 348 that i might go test drive in a few weeks, and apparently you can remove those miami vice side slats for a less 'dated' look.
