93 Cobra, too bad I would have only been 10 yeas old at the time.
An 84 Trans Am…oh wait I got one hehe. Hmm I dunno. I’m a huge fan of old muscle cars but I was born in 84 sooo…hard to choose.
GMC typhoon or a syclone they were bad ass in their day. I remeber test driving a new GLHS omni at transitowne way back. Fun car the salesman asked me to turn around and go back to the dealership before i hurt it lol
Mike Wilson world formula spec cart for $4000 (new and fully optioned).
Production based racing, or any “fendered” racing for that matter is overwieght, under handling, and overpriced. Not to mention non spec racing is for chums.
I could have bought that and a FV by now.
i wish i had bought that white, loaded leather '95 SHO that BigRon’s dad was selling like 4-5yrs ago instead of my '94 4.6 t-bird. only had 60K on it & i think it just had the maint done. not like the tbird hasn’t held up great over the past 90K, but that would’ve been more fun 
aside from that, i wish i had gotten into hondas sooner, but it still wouldn’t affect where i am now. i guess i don’t really have any car regrets except for buying the tbird 1mo before the SHO went up for sale.
One of everything made with a V8 from 1966-1972.
1992 supra
tt 300zx…i know theyre not the best cars, but i have a soft-spot for them and i would have loved to own one factory new
would have just bought an M3 instead of some lame ass 3 series which i wasn’t totally happy with
i think were talking about factory new Dan

Isn’t this the complete opposite of what you said a year or two ago when you decided that karting was the way to go for variouse reasons?
i dunno about you 8 series guys…
parts avail is greater than star
I searched for my first car years before I turned 16. I had the cash, and a father that would let me buy a car. I ended up with a '91 Jetta GLI that I loved. Cars I regret not buying:
-'65 Rambler Ambassador 'vert, really clean and cheap. I just thought it was cool.
-'61 Galaxie beater for $900, rusty, and it ran, I could have had some fun with that. Probably would have wrecked it the way I drove.

I would have to agree with you, 4.3 turbo AWD

Yellow Fox-Body Mustang GT Convertable of the early 90s variety ever since I was a really young one.
A lot of people seem to miss the concept of this thread.

a man after my own heart indeed. the '93 LX Summer Edition yellow-on-black-on-black. change the rims to Chrome and id be happy. park it along side my mustang I have now and a 99-02 black on black WS6 and id pretty much be in heaven.

???
How is it the opposite when the decision (then and now w/ 20/20 hindsight) and my arguments (for the most part) were the SAME? Just various people screwed me around on money (and three years later that hasn’t changed) and I couldn’t get my deposit on time. Winter passed and in spring I feel into, as Carrol Smith puts it “The SCCA trap…” Club racing is fun and all, but the only variable in racing should be the driver (not car choice, engine/ballast compensations, time and money put into the engine…)
I would have went back to december 2003 and sold short every 04GTO on dealer lots for sticker price or above. Then I would have bought them back for $10-15k less, still new, still on dealer lots, a year later
