Dream Cars?

765LT is up there for modern stuff. So fast you'd need nothing else. The other two would be the LFA just for that engine and a blue 240Z with a twin turbo RB26 because I've always wanted a Devil Z.
 
had a passanger drive on a friends track prepped 993 on Saturday and fell little bit in love with air cooled engine note and the nible chassis that car had.
it didn't go that fast on straights but the soundtrack and responsiveness was quite lovely. Gave much better corner G's than my GR.
 
Impossible to choose one, because cars serve different purposes and I don’t see the point in picking something I haven’t at least seen in the flesh and/or had the opportunity to drive. I’d like a real mixture - personally I absolutely love what Jay Leno has done, he buys what he likes and doesn’t give a sod what anyone else thinks. He also doesn’t sell anything, which surely fits into the ‘money no object’ mantra….and one last thing - he’s not afraid to chop things up, modify and create one-off monsters.

I’ll make it easy on myself and pick one from an era or racing period;
1950’s - Bristol 404
1960’s - Lamborghini Miura
Something homologated out of Group B - 205 T16
Something modern - McLaren Senna
Something one-off - £100k on mods on a GRY to bring it close to Rally 2 spec.

Bristol 404, now there is a good suggestion.
 
After seeing what looked like the Swiss Lancia Delta owners club by Lake Como last weekend I am adding a Lancia Delta to my dream car list.. kicking myself for not picking one up in the early 2000s.

Normally I don’t get excited about super cars, but the T50 is everything I could want, and it’s not ostentatious like most of the others.

Catchpole’s videos are exquisite, too 😍

@Chris Mc Marvellous, that's exactly like the one I remember driven by a very sporty aunt of mine who used to take me around in it, the best colour too, those black and red trims suit so well the white body. I won't let you go without a couple of words on your experience.

@Dav1d @Itcaptainslow Thank you for sharing a that video and that RoadRat magazine! Nice discovery
 
Adding the Ford Mustang GTD to the list of cars that I love, but will sadly never own. Waiting on the Youtube drop tomorrow for their Nurburgring sub-seven attempt. 😎

Official Time 6 minutes 57 seconds. That puts the Mustang GTD in the 'Hall of Fame'. Well played!
