I've always adored the car. I've had 6. Wish I had another one. Maybe one day.

I have no place to put one now, but if I ever have a place, and an extra $40K burning a hole in my pocket, I'm going to make a nice one!

I have always loved them as well. Such an overlooked car IMO. My cousin had a Conquest TSi when I was younger as well.

I have no place for another car either. I want a 911 & a 650i GC but ZERO room for anything...especially to care for them the way I want to

Man I wish. Does it count that I have SEEN most of these in person and have personal photo proof? LOL

I only buy my cars new and don’t switch them out like some people change underwear. Because of that, I can only name 4 since I’ve owned mostly ugly cars (bunch of Nissans) and boring SUVs.

1. 2016 Corvette Z06 (still own, manual so unless the C8 Z06 comes out with a manual I won’t sell)
2. 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S (wife’s electric grocery getter)
3. 2008 e92 M3 (still own, will be buried in it)
4. 2015 Audi S4 (sold)

Dude, that 993. I just want to get my lens on that car.

It's a weird feeling having a Lotus Exige downstairs and wanting another Starion, but hey, I guess I'm now just like those old guys I used to make fun of, the ones stuck in their era driving a '55 Chevy blasting 50's tunes. Yeah, it'd be a Starion and Howard Jones/Cure if I could afford and had a place for another car.

This is 4 of the 6 I've had.

I should have never gotten rid of that last red one. 49K on the clock. '89 (the last year). '83 hood, shaved rear wiper, polished SHP wheels, flawless seats, perfect front air dam, and not a spec of rust. I miss that car so bad. But then again, I was afraid to drive it, just knowing how difficult it was to find good replacement parts.

Not sure I have had 5 great looking cars!

1972 Datsun 240z, modified with chev 350 4-speed and all the great 70s looks. Flares, louvers , headlight covers.

2007 Z4M coupe

1988 BMW M3 modified to look like an Evo III

2012 BMW 328XIT 6-speed

1986 Ford Escort GT. Nostalgic first car love. I have been looking for one for a couple years now to buy.

LOL. You are welcome.

I really was tired and read that so wrong! I wish I had any of those...that would be part of my dream garage though for sure.

I am a commitment guy...I have only owned 2 cars honestly. My 1st car was a 1996 Galant which I loved and had for 16 years. It was such a fun car once I modded it. Then my Infiniti coupe I have now I bought in 2013. I don't drive much at all so it makes no sense for me to change cars as much as I want to. When I get some more room I will buy a GC and might swap my coupe for a 911 6spd

Thanks, the 993 is pretty special. It's always been my favourite style. The Tiger was a very kool car, it was #427 of 477 made of the last year. It's the one car I really wish I'd held onto.

1. 458 italia
2. 991.2 gt3
3. F80 M3
4. E46 M3
5. R35 GTR

close on 1 and 2. The ferrari looks very elegant and beautiful. no need to shout with wings, vents, and scoops everywhere. Its like a black stilleto. The GT3 on the otherhand looks very purpose built.. 2 exhaust tips because there are two cylinder banks (ferrari has 3 pipes which makes to sense). the panel gaps are small. radiators actually fit inlets perfectly. wheel gap is perfect.

Haha. It's an easy mistake. I started a list with a Ferrari GTO and Miura before I realized...
