What first car - really rich edition.

Supercars are really not my thing, but I'd love a nice '73 911 Carrera.

I would buy a Singer and a Malibu Canyon house with a garage to store it in - always good roads nearby, and plenty of fair-weather days to enjoy it. I would also feel comfortable driving it because Porsches don't stand out there.

First purchase would be a solid tow vehicle and trailer to facilitate the inevitable race car purchase, plus a decent truck would be a good daily drive while I wait for a dealer to order a Fiesta ST just the way I want it.

Practical and a nice sleeper. I would also need some sort of 2 seater Aston probably a V12 Vantage.

Basically a rich mans M3 while I built this.....

And this to haul the dog and SWMBO around.

One of these for my red truck.

And probably a new SS to drive while somebody else is putting it in.

How stupid rich are we taking here?

First would be: The Maserati MC-12

Then I'd start working my way through buying every one of the 1997 FIA GT Championship homologation cars (ie: CLK-GTR, F1 long tail, F1, 911 GT1, Panoz GTR, Elise) since that year and series, very specifically, is where I remember being bitten hard by the car bug.

Basically I want it to look like this when I walk into the garage:

Make mine a GT3 please.

I would pick a maruader too

Wa-wa-wait...doesn't have to be a car?

First, offer the guy in upstate New York an offer he couldn't refuse on my Grandfather's 1947 J-3 Cub,

Then F4U Corsair.

Those two Ferraris may not be the best cars on this list, but that is without a doubt the best reason.

Outrun, pure awesomeness.

I think the Singer Porsche is great, but I'd want to custom order one to my specs, so it wouldn't be my first car.

I think I'd want something really fun and capable that still fit the whole family. Probably a Tesla P90D.

Drive to Lotus of Plano, order Exige Sport 350 in Lotus Racing Green Metalic - because English.

Continue south for 30 minutes to Dallas McLaren, order 570GT in Pacific Blue - because Scottish.

Newest, lowest mileage, GT2 RS that I could find.

I'd get the Porsche Cayman S with the dual-clutch and set up up for rallycross, the way I always wanted to, but only AFTER I bought a huge piece of land and built a dream house on it.

There are faster cars and there are realistically better cars out there but I feel like if you are hauling ass down the road with your hair in the breeze in a testarossa spyder then you have achieved in real life something I could only do on Sega in 1991.

A dependable resto modded '67 Rover 2000tc. To make it dependable shouldn't cost over $500k or so.

I'd have to forgo the Countach which 12 year old me would want me to buy and go for what the 14 year old me wanted adn 33 year old me still wants.

Jaguar XJ220, the sexiest car I have laid eyes on.

But in reality I would never do that unless it was that neglected one in the desert and I could flip it Wheeler Dealer style.

You know, this one.

that would be number one right away, but i would go on a small spending spree shortly after having my dream shop built.

Something with a prancing horse on the hood to park at work during my last two or three weeks. A 550 Maranello. Preferably in this color combo:

Then I'll start adding to my eclectic collection.

Easy button. I don't want a sequential gearbox, I don't want 16-channel traction control, and I don't want unobtanium parts. I want a comfy, fun-to-drive, head-turning ride that I'm not afraid to hoon.

Good luck. I'm also in love with the FFR Spyder. I'm not sure if it was 38 completed cars or 38 kits sold. That said, it should be coming back after FFR completes it's move to new facilities. I'm thinking all aluminum 427 Windsor with the Borla cross ram ITB.
