We folks for my money, I am not interested in necessarily the fastest, or the most expensive, or the one with the most gadgets. IMHO it must be a convertible, or I am not interested (911 Turbo “out”) second a unique car, the styling of which appeals to me.

I know guys who can build street legal cars that blow the doors off 911 Turbos, and Ferraris as well, for a fraction of the cost. So what? If it is pure “need for speed” go for it.

If you love the culmination of the art of the “car” Buy something you like. For me it’s a Z8.
