I love the shape of those GT/GTV Alfas! They’re all over BaT the last few weeks. Too bad they’re all 30k or more.

Here are Mine:

Ferrari 355

BMW E39 M5

Range Rover Sport

This would have been easy without the country restriction.

OOh that’s a hard one. So how about a Lancia Stratos.

190 HP and 2161 LB.

And then an FJ80 with the turbo diesel. 164 HP and about 4600 LB.

And that gives me space for a crazy car. How about an i8 357 HP and about 3500LB

Maybe on bags. For sure not this color. But for sure those wheels that look like the ones on the M1.

I must admit the classic Range Rover|Japanese coupe|Fast BMW combo that many others have posted might be better, but I’m just weird like this.

Hmmm... I like that

One vehicle must weigh twice as much as another in the garage

rule but you’ll have to clarify which of your suggestions actually meet the requirements for these? Both the Alfa and GT40 will do about 1000kg but the M5 isn’t really over 2000kg is it? Or is that GT40 more light-legged than I’d give it credit for?

I’m pretty sure the classic weighs in at roughly 4,400 lbs. My Miata weighs 2,150lbs so I don’t think I missed it

indeed, it’s pretty solid and actually doable. Especially for those than can afford a new LC lol :]

Why spend $300K on a supercar when much more radness could be had with this fleet!

Ah, you mean the last classics (from 1996), that was about it. The pictured 70's confused me: that one wasn’t even over 4000 lbs.

Japan - Miata is the only answer (~2,200 lbs - 140hp)

UK - McLaren F1 LM (2,341 lbs - with GTR restriction to 600 hp because my first list was way over the 1,000hp limit).....and BTW this photo is older than the internet

Germany - Merc Gwagoooooooonnnn (all the weight, and I’m down to 260hp...so take a modern Gwagon and slap in the G400 CDI 4.0 L TurboDiesel V8 with 250 hp and 411 lb·ft to fit the 1,000hp regulation).

These are the exact colors I want too.

The 1972 Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1600 Junior weighs a claimed 1020 kg at the kerb. That ain’t slightly below 2000 lbs in my book (as it’s over 2200). The E39 M5 did 1720kg. Or slightly below 4000 lbs (3800). Or did the US get a different M5 (like that E36 M3 that was totally different)? You did mention the 400hp so I’d expect you didn’t.

Should have gone for the ‘69 GTA 1300 ;-)
