Personally I'd take the 430 Scuderia first, GranTurismo second, Exige third, and Elise fourth. Elise is probably the most realistic dream :P

Did I mention that there is a guy in my neighborhood with an Elise? And someone else with a Ford GT :P

Edit: GM of the dealership said the 599 GTO is heading to Nebraska on Thursday, so anyone wanting to see it should head over ASAP. And also, FOD is also getting a Ferrari SA APERTA this month as well.

Was just driving around Motor City for the hell of it today and saw these in the showroom at the Porsche dealer. I am now fresh out of saliva because I drooled all over myself.

And this bad boy was sitting outside. $176k, but worth every penny I am sure.

If I could afford it, I would in a heartbeat lol. Owning a 911 Turbo is my life's goal.

GT3's are nice but I would rather have a GT2, or even a normal 911 Twin Turbo and save a boat load a cash.

Side note and one of the main reasons I'm not that into GT3's: A mildly bolted FD can easily hang with a GT3 on the track.

You can modify a lot of cars to hang with any supercar. It's still not that supercar. You can get an Ariel Atom for 50k or less and run circles around most 200k supercars, but it still isn't the same as owning that car you've dreamed of your whole life. But yea I'd rather have a 911 Turbo (preferably coupe, not convertible) than a GT3 just because you can daily drive it and be very comfortable, yet it will still perform very well at the track. The GT3 is a little more raw and built mainly for the track.

Plus, at altitude, a boosted car is almost always going to be a better bet than N/A. The GT3s would lose a lot of their oomph up here.

In response to chickenwafer: ^^this^^. Was pretty much what i saw going to say so i won't bother stating what has already been said.

erod: Thank you for wanting a coupe over the i'm sorry, awful convertible. I personally can not understand why people spend big money on a performance car and then get a convertible :confused:

The 911 Turbo was for the longest time my all time dream car. But as of recent the 997 GT3 RS gen2 has moved into number one and i don't see it budging any time soon. And the ultimate of ultimate dream cars, even though it's not street legal: 997 GT3 RSR. Done and done. lol I love PORSCHE! <3

Forgot to mention the AWD would be nice to have over the RWD GT3 also for daily driving. If I had the money for a 911 Turbo I'm sure I'd have something else to drive in the snow, but still.

Down at Motor City there's a 944 for sale for $4995. Makes me want to join my friend racing Spec 944, hehe.
