What is your dream car?

@ Michael:

Good choices too, particularly since Porsches 911 aren't anymore the devilishly hard to drive cars they used to be once. I'm a fan of light cars, lowering weight is often more effective to increase power/weight ratio, and it betters cars' handling in most roads, important if you don't live in a boring, flat place. My late dad, before getting older, was an excellent driver, far better than me, on old, rear traction Alfa Romeo's. It's impressive how relatively light the Corvette is, considering its huge engine and the robust transmission an engine with such a torque requires.

I also like light cars, but the corvette feels like shit inside. Fast as hell, press the gas and your red lining and going 60km/h in an instant. Thank god I test drove the auto when I did. However because of the crap build quality, I would never buy one.

You are lucky to live in europe. There are no Alfa Romeo's here in Canada, well no modern ones. My pop also used to own a sick ass V8 Benz, but I think Rear or Mid engine is the way to go. Never drove a mid/rear engine car before, but I sat inside the Lotus Elise and Evora before, and the driving position just feels so right.

To me what matters most is not how fast the car is in a stright line, but how fun it is to drive, even at slow speeds. To be honest, I prefer to drive a crazy car like the older 911's and old lamborshini's. It's so much funner knowing that pressing the gas pedal can make your car end up spinning. I know in racing sim's, and in real life, getting the ass out just a bit is fun as hell, and that's why I want an engine behind me. I just want something that needs skill to drive, but if you have skill, the car is capable.
