The Carrera GT is as good in person as it is on paper. B-E-A-utiful. Sounds good too though a bit too muffled. Anyway, I was just thinking about this today...cars I'd like to own...in no specific order...

88-89 944 Turbo
95 M3
95 Corvette ZR-1
Old Chevy truck, something out of the 50's.
Cobra replica
04-05 MB SL
04 NSX-R
Don't know if I'd like a 355 Spyder or a 360 Spyder more

Ehhh, that's all I can think of right now.
 
Normal car: G35 6MT coupe

Fast (NSX ish type) car: Viper

Exotic/superexotics: Gallardo, Koeniggsegg C8

other (kit car): K1 Attack, love this car, been following the deveolpment for a long time now, it's gonna run around 50K professionally built with options, weighs appx 1800lbs, 4cyl Honda engine H22a ~200HP?, (Lotus is heavier and less power, does 0-60 in low 4 seconds) would be fast I'm sure, and I'm in love with the aggressive looks. Few people know about this car, which also intrigues me

Lamborghini Gallardo

1969 Mustang Mach 1

Aussie A9X (coupe) Holden Torana
In August 1977, General Motors Holden introduced the best car it had ever produced, a car so good that it re-wrote our ideas about Oz super cars. A car so good that it would be a further four years or so before any of Peter Brock's production Commodore 308s could surpass its performance, In case you've been a sleep for a few years I am referring to the A9X Torana. Were there full page ads in the newspapers, glossy brochures laden with slick pictures and info? (as this was the first ever production Holden with four wheel disc brakes ) No, to all these questions.

The fact is that the General was still smarting from the l972 super car super scare. With the A9X being so obviously superior to any of its Torana predecessors, some of the heavies were anxious about too much publicity. That August release date wasn't any kind of fluke: this car was needed for Bathurst. But too much publicity was not needed. So the General's men decided to play it extra cool. This wildest, most competent, most exciting of all V8 Holden Toranas was slipped ever so quietly on to the market. Not only was there no release for the press. There wasn't even a printed press release, and road test cars weren't exactly a dime a dozen. The Generals publicity machine was more than happy for the HZ Holden to be credited as the first production GMH car to be offered with four wheel discs, In fact, though, the HZ wasn't released until October 1977.

Why did GMH choose the name "A9X" to describe such a sensational car ? We have already talked about " XU-2 " and " L34 ". Well, " A9X " has no special significance at all. It was just one of a long series of code names available exclusively to GMH, which has A-prefixes just as Chevrolet has Z-prefixes. In GM's confusing international alphabetical scheme, A9X is a kind of Aussie equivalent to Z28. The A9X Torana was simply a limited run production model incorporating the Bathurst equipment. In GMH terms this was the " performance equipment package ". While the A9X was actually part of the LX range of Toranas, it pioneered the UC-type rear floor pan, enabling it to carry GMH's new Salisbury rear axle plus disc brakes. To this day street machiners have found it all but impossible to fit UC rear disks to an LX Torana. So perhaps it makes more sense to think of the A9X as a kind of hybrid LX/UC. Another UC feature that first appeared on A9X was the direct mounting of the steering gear on to the chassis; All that numbing rubber was given the shove and Torana steering got back much of the feeling of the old XU-l days..


Honda CRX 1991

I think with a body kit your could make the NSX look A LOT like a saleen S7. Maybe the guy with the NSX-F50 will try the saleen next :)

Oh, and I would like a Mclaren F1. However, I would not like to change the clutch every 4,000 miles.

Also I have read the Carerra GT clutch makes it extremely hard to drive around town.
