A '65 Pontiac GTO tri-power.

RickF,

That is a nice boat, but I'd rather have one that is more accomodating for passengers and entertaining. I don't like the seating arrangement in those style boats, but the speed would be nice.

Lots of classic car lovers here.

While I appreciate a nice classic, my dream car would definitely be something modern. I'm a car nut, so I could rattle off a dozen or so 'dream' cars that I'd love to own, given unlimited funds.

But currently, the #1 dream car for me would be the new Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Not the most expensive, not the fastest nor quickest car out there. But I think it's absolutely gorgeous.

Picture Police!

Here is an example (not a great one, but hey) of DG's 1965 GTO Tri-Power...


Peter, that 8C is a nice machine. I've liked the looks of it since I first saw it on FLD, and you are right, it isn't the fastest or whatever, but who cares. There is more to a machine than just function, you've gotta have form...

Yeah, lots of classic car fans here. Me?

Ferrari F40 (loved it since it came out). It's a little dated now, but still very, very quick.


Ferrari 250 GTO
(need I say more?)


Viper GTS (drove one for my bachelor party, thanks Peter!)

And I know there's one other that's running around these days, a Porsche, I think, but I can't summon it right now. Too tired.

I'm not a fan of most Ferrari's ever since Miami Vice made them somewhat "everyone's favorite" (I wanted different), but you picked out a couple of nice ones, particularly the 250 GTO. Very nice (even for a Ferrari )

Porsche has consitantly made a solid performing vehicle, too bad that they look amost the same as they have in what seems like forever. Then you take the Porsche, slightly change a couple of things, and it looks like an Audi TT... Change a couple of more things and you have a VW Bug... (of course Sean probably likes that since he still dreams of his old VM)

But if you take the RUF GTR3 Porsche, THEN you've got something...


I just remembered another car that is dated, but I loved the styling on... The Vector W8. Maybe I liked it because it had some styling cues from that era Lamborghinis...


Of course, for a lot of cash, you can have performance, styling, and luxery with the Bugatti Veyron (no convertible for me, but it is an option at $2.2M)

Ken, thanks for the nice pic of the 250 GTO. I searched for a pic, but couldn't find one. I had a model kit of it when I was younger and have always loved the look of that Ferrari.

Man, I love this thread. I like so many cars...

There are some ultra-high performance cars out there that I respect, but don't have enough unique styling to them for my tastes.
The Koenigsegg CCR, and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT are two, and another one, the Pagani Zonda, performs well, but I am not sold on the styling. So since they aren't on my list, I'm not going to post pictures, but if someone else likes them, cool!

Yeah, it's one of the Porsche supercars--it was on the cover of R&T awhile back. I'll have to do some digging. I just remember that it's gorgeous.

I know that this link will expire and eventually be lost to the historians who will dig through these threads as part of their cyberarchaeology studies, but for now, it is a quick way for me to show off my other dream car, the Maserati Gran Turismo.

The styling, both interior and exterior, hits me just right, with plenty of sexy curves and bold colors. I think I'd take one over a BMW Z8, even.
