In my Perfect Garage I'd have, in addition to my Boxster, an '06 Z06, a '58 Speedster, a '66 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII, a '69 Lotus Elan SE, a '68 Fiat Dino Spyder, a '99 Dodge Viper GTS, a '72 Lamborghini Miura SV, and as my Track Car either a '07 Lotus Exige or an '86 Toyota MR2 SC - Variety is the Spice of Life...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Jim, I've owned over 30 cars in my lifetime with the majority of them sport or sport oriented. I've owned Corvettes, Mustangs, Vipers, BMW's, Volvo's and driven Ferrari's, Mazeratti's, Lamborghini's, Lotus' and Jag's. And yes, I have a Porsche bias, not because I haven't had access or been intimate with other cars but because after driving these other cars I feel "at home" in my Porsche's.
Also, my ideal garage is a listing of cars that I can or will be able afford in the foreseeable future. It isn't a list of "dream" cars that without hitting the lottery I have no chance of acquiring. I appreciate your list and they are fine examples of classics but those are not cars the I would spend my limited resources on. That doesn't make them any less desirable.
