If money was no object, what would be your ultimate sports car to own other than a Corvette?

Mine would be a McLaren F1

Oddly enough I would take a C6 over most any other sports car. Probably more so than any of the Italians, though I do have a soft spot for one or two of them.

If there was one Corvette I had to choose, I'd take the new ZR1 and smoke'em all!

Not sure why, but I've always loved these. Probably the curves.

A C6R. There was a C5R for sale last year for $125k, a little out of my price range.

Loved Magnum PI. I almost bought a yellow 1979 308 , glad I did not. After having my 1992 coupe a year there is no way I would have been able to afford the up-keep. Maybe someday. . I noticed the body style is somewhat the same as the C4.

Well if cost were no object, I've always wanted one of these.

An Auburn boat-tail Speedster, supercharged version of course.

1953
1961 or 1962
1965 coupe
1967 vert
1970 Vert
1972 Coupe, I have already
1995 ZR-1

I have already informed him that I expect him to come for either the Hooters Bikini show, or my bach party...or both. Considering how cold I 'think' it'll be for the Cup, and how awesome the Hooters show and my bach party will be...

Last year poor 'ol Sully drove all the way up here for some bad weather and Sarah and I felt horrible about that.

I saw those new Nissan GTRs at the local dealership. At first I thought it was a new Z but got closer to actually inspect it and saw what it was. Seems it's really impressing a lot of people.

I've been in the left seat on the track as an instructor. And, they're as impressive as any of the ricers.They are well built, handle well, yada,yada,yada.

I did stand on a corner that had some bumps in it. They seemed to bounce around a little compared to a C6Z.

I would have to say the ferrari spider would be my choice. But when I was young I always dreamed of a 69 tri-power vette in blue. So not even that car could take me away from the the car I have now, That will always be my first choice
