So what car do you want the most?

You don't have to drive it everyday or pay for repairs

Free maintenance, you say?

I'm torn between the Lancia 037, Lancia Stratos, Nissan Skyline GTR R32, Nissan Skyline R34, Ferrari F50, Ferrari F40, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, Porsche 917, and a Pagani Zonda Cinque.

You're torn in many pieces my friend.

I think I've conveyed my favorite car rather well actually , but I'll gladly repeat myself:

1987-1989 Nissan Fairlady 200ZR-I with an RB26DETT swap.

Good list except the R32 obviously trumps the R34 and same with the F40 and F50, respectively ;)

Also, I'm a bigger fan of the C12. Later Zondas lost much of their appeal for me.

I'm always debating back and forth between the R32 and R34. My idea of which is better changes daily. That's why they're both there. For me, F40 = F50 because the F50 was the car that got me into cars. It was the first car that made me step back and go "WOW!". When I was 3, I thought the F50 was the coolest car in the world. The love of it has been there ever since. As for the Cinque, I like the newer Zondas better, and it is one of the most insane Zondas, what with all the scoops and spoilers. I just love how crazy it is.

Stock: BAC Mono (if I fit, 6'4"), otherwise an F1 LM

Modded: '08 Forester with an H6 twin turbo (tuned for response>power, but with unlimited money I could probably pull 800HP out of it anyways on 8 lbs of boost, a little more when I turn it up); GT500/DTM style aero (fully functional, with a fair amount of it active so I can turn it down and go mad dorifto more easily) made fully out of CFRP; rear-mount radiator and oil cooler (with air pulled from below the car for ground effects and thus MAX DOWNFORCE); pushrod suspension with isolated roll and heave spring and damping to deal with the mad downforce and still have a tolerable ride (4-way adjustible dampers, of course); full rollcage; leather covered everything and just enough soundproofing (like in a Singer); custom AWD drivetrain with clutch-based diffs front, rear and center for optimized traction (or so I can send it all back and go mad dorifto more easily); center-lock magnesium TE37s; glass windows, none of that lexan shit, I am shedding enough weight elsewhere; CFRP driveshafts; carbon ceramic brakes; a Subaru 6-speed with a CFRP casing (Audi's doing it in the R18, so rad!) and custom ratio strengthened but still helical gears; and, most importantly, 4 CFRP buckets, with the driver's fitted specifically to me.

I love the R32 as much for its boxy lines as its ridiculous racing success. Fair enough on the F50, childhood is childhood. As for the Zonda, I love how emphasized the bubbliness of the cockpit is on the C12. I would, of course, have to get the mirrors replaced with those beautiful CFRP bits and have the wing switched/deleted (or have a mad lip spoiler).

True story: each 288 GTO came from the factory with the contact details of one of Pablo Escobar's Lieutenants. You know, for supplies.

Topping the list are: Jag F-type, Porsche 917, Ford GT/40, and any modern era F1 car that has been legalized for street use.

Objectively speaking, I can't think of a more desirable car the Glickenhaus P4/5.

I'd love to DD a 250gto - carburetors, v12, and unburned hydrocarbons.

The TVR Sagaris is the car that I think holds the title of best styled right now, but I hear they're bears to drive.

I think, at the end of the day, my alerts cat would be a 1st gen. Dodge Viper GTS ACR, with the interior upgraded to proper supercar standards. It's unpretentious in that it is almost not at all exclusive, but it is the zenith of undrivable. No matter how many hours I spent lapping it, I could never go as fast as it could. And, if I were so infirm of mind, it has so much room for improvement that it could be faster still. It is, to my mind, the heart of Americana; excessive, brutish and yet supremely pragmatic and competent and, in its own way, beautiful.
