[C-MURDER]

Buick GNX
Chevorlet Corvette Z06
Porsche 959
Porsche 914/8, V-8 914, only 2 made
Acura Integra Type R, fully race prepped. Don't ask why
Porsche 928 GTS
Ferrari F-40
Subaru XT6, rally prepped. I live in a small town, alot of dirt roads and open fields, imagine the fun...
Mazda RX-7 R2
Plymouth Superbird
Top Secret Supra TT, the one with like 900 horses
Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette
Jeep Cherokee, 44" Super Swampers, 10" susension and 4" body lift, 500 horse 5.9l Magnum, Snorkel, winch, fog/flood lights, skid plates, and a window sticker that says "Size DOES Matter"


See I want cars that I would drive quite a bit, and have fun with, with the exception of the Sledgehammer, but maybe I would take it down Intestate 64 for a little top speed run.

[Chris]

You are all forgetting the McLaren F1!
I will take the regualar (sic), GTR, and an LM.
Corvette Z06
Bugatti Royale chassis number 41121
Lingenfelter VIper with Hennessey body and brake mods.
Lingenfelter Stage II vette
Lotus 340R
Bently Continental T Mulliner
Top fuel dragster (for the strip, of course)
Ferrari 250 Comp./61 SWB, chassis number 2937GT (Mairesse's car in the 1961 Tour de France)
Ferrari F60(?)
Lamborghini LM002
Lamborghini Diable 6.0
BMW M5 and M3 (2001 models)
56 Nomad
67 vette with the 427/435 (coupe)
Bugatti 16/4 Veyron
THese are the ones I really want, some obviously more than others. SInce the grand total is probably close to 20 million (The Royale is the biggest bite, probably close to 15 million!), I won't be getting them for another 10 years. :-)

Bellracing, will you take your XKSS in Mqueen Green?

I have such a big list i'm not going to waste my time writing it down. Just think of very Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche. ((If I became a rich oil vbaron or terrorist, I would demand to have 288 GTO or kill somebody of importance)

[John98R/T]

I love Mustangs, not the new body style, and i despise the new VW Bugs, the guy who designed the new stangs and the bugs, (i have heard he is the same guy) should be drug out into the street and have his knee caps busted with a baseball bat!
But yeah i like Mustangs, even Cobras.
Peace....
:grey:

[S Brake]

For those of you with more than 4 cars in your "dream garage" i must shake your hand, especially MikAnchovy. you guys truly are car guys. my list is just as big as yours!

[Chris]

Like any car enthuasist, your list is always growing, changing. Most of us want one of every car ever made. I would like to add to my list:
Ultima GTR
Subaru Impreza WRX 22B STi

[Steel]

call me weird:

1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
Jaguar XJ220
Honda RC51 racer (faaaaast)
'96 Nissan 300zx TT Stage 9 (680-760hp, tuneable)
for offraoding fun: why..a Hummer!
That's about it. If i could even have those cars magically deliever....to my backyard...by tomorrow morning...i would never ask for anything again... (hopes it works)

[Heep]

I'd also like to have one of every car made, but, if I was out working and making say, $100,000 a year, I'd probably have: 1998 Ford Contour SVT (black over black), 1990 Ferrari 348TB (red on tan), and some car for the wife.
