Realistic:

Porsche Boxster  
03/04 Mustang Mach 1  
Lotus Elise

Just a couple that really appeal to me. Of these, I’m hoping that I’ll own a Boxster in the next ~5 years. They get dissed alot, but they really are a blast to drive down empty country roads.

Why not a 03-04 Cobra instead of the Mach 1? I like the looks of a mach1 better but performance wise Cobra’s dominate.

^

The Mach 1 just really appeals to me. It’s about a close as you can get with a Mustang to a no frills muscle car…simple, aggressive looks, light weight, aggressive stance, and a powerful n/a V8.

They run well enough to be a fun street car anyway. Low 13s would be fine for what I’d want to do with it.

just being devil’s advocate…

but the Cobra has a more simple design then the Machs, they only weigh 150lbs more then Machs, and they have a more agressive stance… :dunno:

Real nice choice…

> but the Cobra has a more simple design then the Machs

How do you figure this? Cobra = IRS, Mach = solid rear axle. Cobra = forced induction, Mach = naturally aspirated.

> and they have a more agressive stance…

Subjective.

i agree subjective.

i was lookin at it from looks. the Mach has the flat black hood, and the shaker, and the rear spoiler. where the cobra has a more subtle hood, and more of a no frills body.

the cobra sits lower, then the Mach.

but to each his own. not my place to criticize.

There it is.

At some point, in addition to the above (being realistic):

'09 Camaro  
GT3

My fantasy, no-way-in-hell-unless-I-win-the-lottery list is much too extensive to pick just 3.

I do understand where you’re coming from, and I’d never argue that the Mach is a better performance car than the Cobra…I just like the Mach better, based on it’s emotional appeal.

Got a price in mind? My dad had a 70 and it was one of my fave cars. I’d love to get one… Is it a 71? Those ones have two headlights. The 69-70 have 4.

i agree that the cobra has a more agressive stance. i guess you can say its subjective but to me lower, wider with wider tires = more agressive. plus i like the looks of the cobra better. but both are nice.
