If you could own any one car...

If you could own any ONE car, and price was NO option, what would you pick?

The car doesn't have to be stock...it could be the damn Fast and the Furious Supra if you wanted it.

Hey Zero...Hello??? The GT2 is 179,900 dollars and has 462 horsepower...liquid cooled TWIN TURBO with a top speed of 196 MPH. If that's your idea of an economy Porsche, can I have your job? See the link below:

LOL I was being sarcastic about it being an economy porsche...but seriously the Carrera GT has 558hp and runs around 315k. I can afford neither.

Hmm...good question.

I'll have to agree with a few people before me and say Ferrari 360 Modena. My cousin has one and it is bad-ass!

Personally, I find the 1971 Honda N600 to be worse than either of those (although the quality in the Honda is much better than the Pinto, and the N600 actually ran, as opposed to the Fiat...hence...). You seen that thing? It makes the Geo Metro look good.

It was the first Honda introduced here on our shores...with a whole 36HP.

Do a websearch...funny looking car.

AmeriTech can make a McLaren F1 road-worthy for US roads for the cost of $67,000, which is paltry when you're already paying $870,000 (w/out taxes, etc.) on a car.

Mclaren F1..amazing car car but somethng about sitting in the middle of your car is a bit annoying for everyday driving. If it was an everyday driver I'd have to say Carrera GT, for the weekends the McLaren. For off roading, Lambo LM002.
