I like the ferrari 250 GTO.
However, a GT40 with Keith Craft 496 cammer all aluminum as the power plant would be prefered.
Yeah, you can get exotic, but there is something about the GT40 - it just pulls you in and holds you tight.
Right Bernie?

Eleanor with a twin turbo all aluminum 427w, A/C, power everything and cruise control. As for a DD I would say a nice f-350 quad cab single wheel King Ranch would do me just fine, but the CTS-v coupe would also keep me entertained.

I can't think of too many other Cobras I'd swap my great old Arntz for.
As a lovely useable everyday "supercar" I'd have an R8 Audi, V8 or V10, doesn't matter.
But if I could have just one car, one car to choose from all the cars on the planet, it would be this one.

I'm not sure (and I am not going to figure it out) but I would not be surprised if you couldn't have most of (if not all) of those fine cars for the cost of a GTO.... if cost was no obstacle.....yikes !!!  |

Mmmm brewers droop?.. 
Wazza I have a neighbor with one of AM's And it sounds awesome. They have a black AMG as well and I wonder how Mercedes get it through the ADrR and noise compliance laws. It also sounds tuff..

Trend, can I take a guess?
The obvious trend I see is boat anchors wrapped in a barge

Some great cars on this thread.
I'd probably go with the Koenigsegg CCXR
But I reserve the right to change my mind later.  |

G'day, Bernie. While I love the Ferrari GTO too, the Ferrari Testa Rossa on my "Sounds of Sebring 1958" is still my favorite. Time for me to fire up that old record and scare my neighbors! Rich

I live in a High Rise...and the underground car park has some nice cars...NOT mine...
Every day we park our XR8 Ute, and Hyundai Getz in our two car parks...and we have these two either side of us.
Lovely guys, but if money was no object....just once I'd like to have something that would impress them.
I'm suffering from "Sports Car envy "
I've got a Ferrari F430 on one side, and an Aston Martin DBS ( Gorgeous car )on the other.
These guys keep asking me when I'm going to finish the new Cobra, so we can all show off....not quite on the same level I'm afraid !!
By the way...The Ferrari owner is actually the unit next door to me on the same floor...and a nice guy...he was about to pay his insurance, and I did some phoning around for him chasing companies that would insure the ferrari, to see if there was much differnce in the insurance premiums.
He was very grateful for my efforts...he ended up being very happy...the difference in the insurance premium was $4,000 !!!
Must be nice to have money !
Cheers,
Warren
