Anyone who’s known me for any length of time knows that I’m a car nut. It isn’t easy for me to answer the question, “What’s your favorite car?” or to give a reasonable answer when asked about my dream car. So I present to you my ultimate garage with no regard to sanity, legality or cost in no particular order and WHY:
Ferrari F430 Scuderia I love the look and design of the thing and the Scuderia is the basses track version.
Ferrari 458 Italia Automotive pornography, plain and simple. It puts the F430 to shame performance-wise and is dangerously close to perfection in the Ferrari line…that is when it’s not too busy catching fire.
McLaren F1 what kid didn’t want this car growing up? Howling V12, three across seating, heat shield made of gold and good for 260 mph. I’d take this over something like the Veyron because unlike the Veyron, it is concerned only with driving performance and isn’t near as vulgar as the carbon fiber and platinum-plated Veyron.
Aston Martin DBR9 A beautiful LMS GT car.
Lotus Exige a zippy, tiny little car concentrated solely on getting around corners as fast as physically possible.
Porsche 914 a hybrid V8 with active air intakes. Beautiful styling and performance that would make Dr. Porsche proud.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS the fastest, most pure 911 ever.
Porsche Carrera GT I need this car if only for the sound the V10 makes. Angry, aggressive and powerful.
Porsche Boxster Spyder What roadster driving is all about. No roof, no door handles, no compromises.
Koenigsegg Agera the successor to the incredible CCX.
Alfa Romeo Brera beautiful styling, ok performance and all passion. In other words, an Alfa. And I could use it as a daily driver.
Gumpert Apollo ugly as hell but goes like it too.
Audi R8 GT, Lamborghini V10, German engineering, lightened from the stock R8 to make it even faster.
Lancia Stratos the only 2WD car to ever beat Audi’s Quattro in the World Rally Championship.
Ferrari 599 GTO the fastest production Ferrari to date with a rabid V12 under those beautiful hood scoops.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera a lightened, race-tuned Gallardo.
Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV the swan song for the Murciélago the highest powered, fastest version worthy of the SuperVeloce moniker.
