Peugeot 505 GTI, why ? It's my 1st car that I owned many years ago, great comfort on the road and mature styling.

Something like this in original blue paint :)

The Porsche 911. All of them. The early ones look the best and are the simplest. The new ones are unbelievable performance machines. The ones in the middle are probably my favorites, when they were still air cooled but once they went wide-body and started to get a lot of power. You get that amazing air-cooled flat six with the spectacular noise it makes, a lightweight, simple car with the feel of a classic but the performance to of a modern sports car, and looks that take me right back to being a kid and drooling over the cars I'd see cruising on Mulholland drive or in the parking spots right up front at my parents' companies.

A FD Mazda RX-7. Preferably a 1998 Type RS, since that was the first car I've ever driven in GT2. And because I feel it's taboo to modify a limited edition car like the Spirit R.

This car is just perfect. It's everything a car should be. It's beautiful, fast, handles like a dream, has character, is innovative... where do I end? I love this car so much, I even suspect that Porsche and Chevrolet took cues from the styling in their 911s and C5 Corvettes. When I hear reviewers praise a car for it's handling, I keep thinking "they've never driven a FD AND THEY NEED TO".

And of course, it has a Rotary. That unmistakable Rotary roar... how anyone who hears it knows it's you who's coming... I love that.
 
There are too many to choose from. I'd rather do it by company than overall...but if I were to choose one it would be the Ferrari 458 Spyder.
 
For me I love so many cars.

as a Kid it was one of these. I had a poster on my wall that I would stare at for hours upon hours because I wanted one so bad....

as of today it still holds a special place in my heart. would I own one? in a heartbeat! (as would a lot of GTP I bet) my wife thinks they are ugly as sin but my chldhood begs to differ.

As for today.

If I could have ANY car, any one car ever.

Doesn't have to be the GTR I just LOVE the fact that I can sit in the middle, go fast, AND have my 2 best mates with me! This would be my daily driver. My honest opinion says that if you own a car, drive the thing! Never let it sit. it was ment to be driven!
 
Nismo 400r

400hp is plenty also, only 44 units were made so they are super rare and they are the best looking GT-Rs ever made in my opinion.
 
I've got three absolute favorite cars. One of them is the incredibly beautiful Porsche 550 Spyder.

Another one is the McLaren F1 LM. It's just so minimistically (is that a word?) awesome. I mean, it's a McLaren F1 to begin with, which is an awesome car. Then, you lighten it and add more power to get this:

My last favorite is another Porsche. I love it because... I have eyes. :lol:

That's right. The Porsche Carrera GT. But how would you not know what this is? It's not the fastest, but I absolutely LOVE IT.
 
Right, don't laugh at me, but here are my two favourites...

2003 Ford Mondeo Zetec (Katiegan special :sly:)

​

My family have owned Mondeos since about '99, starting with our first Mondeo, a red 1998 LX turbo diesel. Then some time in 2004 we bought this one which we still have today, a 2003 Zetec. I hate it when people stereotype the Mondeo, thinking it's owned by old men who drive at 20mph. Yes, most are, but not all. They can shift when they want to, too. :p

1984 Ford Fiesta XR2

​

I love the early gen Fiestas, in fact, I love all Fiestas. But the MK2 has got to be my favourite gen, especially the XR2. It just looks amazing, and it's just so... I don't know, I just love it! I'm hoping to have a 1.1 MK2 as my first car. Would love to have an XR2, but insurance wouldn't be happy about that. I could always get XR2 bodykits :lol:.
 
My favourite:

(predictably) the Ford MKIV (specifically J5).
1967-ford-gt-40-mk-iv-003.jpg


Loved it before GT5 even came out. I'd always loved the GT40s and to me, this is the ultimate evolution of it: faster, better looking and record breaking. 👍

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has to be my favorite vehicle for the sheer consistency of the lineup. There is no S-Class that I don't care for, none that I'd say "well, I'd really rather have the newer one" about. Every model has its own engineering and technological feats for the time that make each iteration as revolutionary as the last. My personal favorite is the 450SEL 6.9. Arguably the precursor to the modern high-performance sedan, the 450SEL is an engineering marvel. The hydropneumatic suspension, though created by Citroen, was still a feat of its own. With the touch of a button, you could raise the 4200 lb slice of German beef two inches, a feature still rare outside the realm of six-digit offroaders. It featured a then-remarkable ride to handling balance, gliding over thumps and bumps, but being able to be pushed around like a Mini, according to some journalists.
Then there was the powertrain. The 6.9 liter V8 pumped out 285 horsepower and some 405 lb-ft of torque, and seeing as Mercedes are a conservative bunch of people, it's not hard to believe that they were really producing over 300 horsepower. Mated to a slushbox of three gears, you may think that the big Merc would have very muscle-car esque performance; all loud and proud until you hit 115, and things hit a wall. But yet, Mercedes promised it'd do 140. Journalists claimed they'd done 150. Of course, like all old Mercs, there was that quirkiness that accompanied it that just gave it that much more charm. Inside, it was very classic Mercedes, but you'd have to be mighty hard to please to not agree that it still looks good even today. Interestingly, you couldn't get powered front seats, though powered rears were available. Despite this, you could get heated front seats, though rear seat passengers would have to live with frosty hineys. You may see this as a dickish move, but I find it funny.
Not surprisingly, these engineering feats came with that typical Mercedes-Benz upcharge, but then some. In the 70s, not just an ordinary Cadillac Fleetwood, but a Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine costed around $16,000. The 450SEL however, started at just over $40,000. My grandmother purchased a small home in that time period for $27,000. The 450SEL was clearly a hard sell then, and 7380 sold over its 6 year production run. Clearly then, it was an acquired taste, but those who appreciate it know that it's really something special.
 
I've always had a thing for hot hatches, especially the Civic, my favourite gen being the ep3:

It handles soooo nice, it really is good in the bends. It's got enough power for UK roads, looks great...the list goes on.

But my all time, ultimate favourite car would be this:

1347872784.jpg

A Jag XJ220 :drool:
 
corvette_c6_logo.jpg

Corvettes, simply because their the best sports cars on the planet and are made by the greatest car company too!
 
I love anything with a nice clean design. Mostly older base model sedans. Some of the finest looking cars, I love all the little details that set them apart from one another.

2011 BMW 335i m sport. Alpine white, red leather, BMW performance exhaust, ZCP or style 199 wheels, BMW carbon fiber rear spoiler.
 
I love the basic's. You know, the exotics. Ferrari, Pagani, Bugatti. The older the better. Well, at least back to the late 1930's. But oddly enough, I'd take a chopped '49 Mercury Coupe over Ralph Lauren's Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. Or even a Ferrari 250 GTO.

Pure sexiness!
 
I like the idea of the Rocketship with 4 doors. M5, AMG E-Class, Impreza STi, and in a bit different league, the Aston Martin Rapide. The idea that you can have a fast car is nice, but whats the point if you can round up all your mates for a night on the town?
 
Fourth Generation Toyota Supra

My dad used to have one and it was so freaking cool. Turbo, t top, low miles. Was automatic though.

Then he Freaking sold it for a ******* porshe boxster..... Boxster was cool but wasent a supra.

Click to expand...

If I had a Boxster I would definitely trade it in for a Supra. I'm not a massive fan of Boxsters so I don't understand why anyone would trade a Supra for a Boxster.
 
I'm the opposite, actually, I love the refined handling of the Boxster, even if it's drivers get a bad reputation.
 
Favorite vehicle? That's tough. There are so many cars...

But here are some I wish I had.

1. Ferrari 360 Modena
2. Chevrolet Corvette (any model)
3. Toyota Celica or Supra (any early 90's model)
4. Honda S2000
5. BMW Z4
6. Porsche 911
7. Ford RS 200 (I learned about this one in GT)
8. Shelby Cobra
9. Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
10. Dodge Viper.

But being financially realistic if I had to pick one I would try to get a celica gt four. Also something about the Honda Fit really intrigues me. Must be that under dog aura it gives off.
