    I looked back and would change it up a bit. Interesting how just a few years will get me thinking something else and not necessarily replacing it with a newer model that just came out.

    I love Zs and that Datsun sounds cool. I would love not only that, but to make my 350Z powered by the VR38DETT GTR motor and AWD. :)

    I have another 5 or 10 that could easily be swapped into my list depending on my mood. (Exige, E30 M3, SE30 Diablo, 360 CS, GT3 RS, 512 Boxer, etc..) There are a ton of cars that I would love to own. For me, the key would be variety. I never really understand people that have a garage full of muscle cars that are so similar.

    Not much has changed in 7 years for me. I would let the RS6 drop off the list and put the Vector Avtec WX-3 coupe in the #2 spot. I would also settle for a W8 if need be.

    Yeah, I don't 'get' some muscle car collections either, but it's probably more about collecting the cars from childhood and young adulthood than the differences in their driving style.

    My original 5 list was like 3 or 4 race cars, haha. Here is a more realistic list minus the McLaren F1 LM.

    1) Nissan 350Z (my current car, but would like the VR38DETT GTR drivetrain including AWD)
    2) Porsche 993 Targa with Turbo S drivetrain and body
    3) BMW F11 Touring with M5 body and drivetrain - Velvet blue on opal white interior with 6-speed manual tranny.
    4) Defender 130 with 5-door conversion (not the pickup/tailgate that is normally the 130)
    5) McLaren F1 LM

    The first 4 are attainable (well, needs to be fabricated, but do-able) while the last is not. Maybe would get something like a Carrera GT or more track-like car in place that actually is available for sale and not $1mm+.

    As with others, I had to try it again, to see how much my "wants" have changed:

    1. Pagani Zonda F Clubsport
    2. Bowler Nemesis EXR S
    3. Ken Block's Fiesta
    4. Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M
    5. Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0

    Yup. That's a significant change!

    Glad to see the NSX get mentioned a couple of times - i have a couple myself. Its a great drivers car. Obviously the "no objects" component of this list makes me leave off other cars that i would still have on the side. I can say that the 91-94 coupes are my preference though i would grab a 97-2001 coupe (these were occasionally special ordered) as my top pick (since theres no type r in the USA).

    458 Spider (DD)
    997 GT3 Mk2 (Spirited driving & light track use)

    A few others that I would like to include in this, but I feel like this covers it.

    2007 Subaru WRX STi
    - The car that I feel defines the entire STi/WRX line.
    Ariel Atom
    -The most insane car I have yet to ride in.
    2005 NSX-T
    - I have a serious soft spot for NSX's.
    2012 911 GT3
    - I love horizontally opposed engines. I also love raw cars. This covers both.
    Aventador Roadster
    - Because why not? A car that screams is always fun.
