Two questions:

1) If the Elise was suddenly unavailable and you were required to buy something instead, out of all the street legal cars in the US what would you get?

2) What if money were no object?

(Sorry, I was getting tired of all the rules on the other "what car" thread)

I would have to lean towards the Z-06 or the upcoming C6. Money be damned I'd be in a Ferrari 360 Modena

C6 Vette

1. Used Viper GTS.

2. Mosler MT900 with Lingenfelter twin-turbo (2000 lbs @ 800 hp = OMG !!!)

 

[Prolene]

1. I'd keep the cars I have and leave it at that.

2. Is the Enzo US certified? If so, that'd be it, if funds were unlimited.

 

[frukio]

1. 350Z
2. wait for Bugatti Veyron ?

All, if you can, drop in a picture or a link it would make this thread more interesting.

And Transio, you have very fast tastes indeed.

1001 HP according to the Bugatti site...

 

[grudkin]

Bugatti has been postponed repeatedly, hasn't it?

Anyway, 1000 hp in a street car? Kind of cheesey IMO -- like driving a Bentley with chrome wheels

For me, I'd take the 360 Modena CS, or the Porsche GT3 -- pure driving excitement, from what I've read in EVO.

With money no object, how about a Ferrari 330 P4? There's a cool 5-7 million, but of course you can only drive it at vintage events

I still may do this, if the dealer tries to screw with me (except my dealer also sells Ferrari): Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

 

[Need4Speed]

Enzo, for sure.

Dino is a beautiful car, but not much of a performer by modern standards, and very different from an Elise

To my understanding, it's not technically a 'Ferrari,' but simply a 'Dino.' Many owners stick the F-badge on to try to make a point of the connection, but it's not original.

I didn't realize that the McLauren had such big cup holders, much less one on each side of the driver's seat like that.

 

[demi]

Heh, I love the 360 Challenge Stradale. I'll bet this crowd has a lot of 360 CS fans in it. I'd need to have at least two, though, so that I would have one to drive while the other is in the shop.

 

[BrianK]

Lamborghini Miura. If money is no object, then repair expense doesn't matter.

 

[MikeAR303]

1.) I have no idea... probably either a T-Rex or a Westfield Megabusa
2.) McLaren F1 or a Ferrari Enzo (actually, both )

 

[Thomasio]

True, the Dino didn't come with Ferrari tags, but it is no less a Ferrari than any other. It was named after Enzo's son Dino who died, and made by Ferrari as its "Dino" brand/model.

The fly yellow Dino is one of the sexiest cars around, IMO.

[The Stig]

I'll take one of these: McLaren F1 GT

 

[ivan1]

1. Audi S4 or C6 vette

2. see below

 

[Canyon Carver]

Don't laugh too hard but under those circumstances I'd be tempted to visit www.dahlbackracing.com and pick up an Audi Quattro or their 900hp VW Golf

 

[ScorpioXI]

1. Lotus Elise

2. Aston Martin Vanquish

3. Porsche Carrera GT

4. Viper GTS'

5. BMW M3
