I have two categories:
There's the 'possible' ones - meaning something I would be able to have, drive, maintain, and wouldn't drive myself nuts about. My 'possible' dream car would be a Corvette Z06. 500hp, 0-60 in about 3.0 seconds. Maybe a nice shiny BMW 6-series to fill out the other side of the garage - that design has grown on me. Nice little Pontiac Solstice or a Saturn Sky for the top-down weekend driving?
Then there's the 'impossible' kind of car - out-of-my-league, lottery-winning kind of cars. Like a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - 1000hp quad turbo W16 - fuhgetaboutit. Or a '54-'57 Mercedes 300SL 'gull-wing' for a pure status ride.
I'd still keep my '01 Pontiac Trans-Am for a daily driver though - basic black, 305hp V8 manual, 0-60 in about 5.0 seconds - it is plenty spirited for me. It's still aging gracefully (if the term 'graceful' can ever be applied to a Trans-Am), and best yet - it's paid for!
