Default What would you be driving if you weren't in a 'Vette?

Let's disregard Corvettes here for a moment.

What's your dream car? If you could be driving anything what would it be? If you could be driving anything else at the price point of your car now, what would that be?

I have always loved Lamborghini Gallardos. I like the looks, I like that you can have them with a stick shift. I think that an LP570-4 Superleggera is an amazing car:





I also love the V12 Vantage, again with a stick shift. That car sounds amazing and has some dead sexy looks:





Of course there are MANY other cars that I absolutely love (aside from my ZR1 of course ), but those two have always held a special place in my heart.

Anything at all? McLaren F1 (performance) or Audi R8 V10 manual (comfort).

At the price of my modded C5Z? Lotus Elise SC or Porsche Cayman S.

My dream car, Porsche 918
If I didn't buy my '93 C4, I would have bought an Audi B5 S4.

Call me oldschool but I would definitely be driving a Ferrari F40 and/or a Mclaren F1. No flappy paddles, ABS, traction control or other "housewife" accessory to compensate for people who can't drive.......

If I could have just one, it would be a 6-speed LP-640. It has everything I look for in a sports car.

Dream car? A brand new red or yellow Ferrari. Next up would be my old '67 Shelby GT500 with a few mods.


Reality car...My Mercedes-Benz, which is up FS

For the amount I paid for it?

Hard to say.

What do I have my eye on next? I'm eyeing a 911 with boost, but still can't decided if the cost is justifiable.

What are my dream cars? Ferrari F40, Ferrari 458, Porsche 918, and Ford GT.

Ford gt!
I used to always want an r8, but the performance gain isn't THAT significant over the vette.. Which kinda depressed me a little about it for the price. The ford however, just makes me happy

I sold my street bike to help fund our wedding, so always looking for another one, but basically have no room - until we get our shop built anyway!

All money aside, give me one of those Koenigsegg Agera One:1 cars please! But as an earlier poster, an F40 would be perfect, or even classier, a 250 GTO or just about any classic 60's Ferrari.
