All things considered. I'd love to have the opportunity to thrash the crap out of a Carrara GT and not think twice about it.

Maserati Coupe with the F1 paddle option for the transmission. 4 seater that's designed and built by Ferrari but without the Ferrari pricetag.

very car, but not a DD. I'd want all to comfort and other crap that doesn't belong in a true "sports car". That's why I'd give the nod to a GT like the Aston

Torn between a Pagini Zonda C12S and a Carrera GT.

Should I toss in the SLR to the mix ?

But then again, if I was that wealthy and I had an unlimited budget for a car, I wouldn't even bother to drive myself. Hire a chauffer and buy a Maybach 62.

Hey cool, I am right after Zilla, unless someone posts before me.

One car, The v12 Vanquish would be a good start.

But if I can only have one vehicle it will have to be a truck. So a Serria C3 (I know, they don't make it anymore), lowered slightly, supercharged, around 550hp, that's a good number, with some major suspension and brake upgrades and a whoop butt sound system.

I am still trying to decide between the Carrera GT and the F1 McLaren.
I really liked the F1 when Jay Leno pulled up alongside me on the 210
driving his black F1. We each gave the thumbs up and then he left me behind.
I have never seen a car accelerate that fast on the street from 70 mph before.
