Either a Porsche 918 Spyder or Ferrari LaFerrari. I was always a fan of the Ferrari F50s but I think the new LaFerrari is just better.

I'd love to have the money to bu a decommissioned V10 F1 or a current LMP just to experience what they are like:

The reality is that I'd want a car I could drive on the street. Things like the Zonda R sound nice but the reality is that there are very few situations you could actually drive them which would suck and then you'd find out really quick that you're not as good of a driver as you thought you were and they end up being nightmares to drive. We see it a lot in karting, someone with the forum mentality of thinking roll/bench racing makes them God's gift to driving. They buy a ROK Shifter kart then find out that roll racing and forum posting doesn't actually make them talented and they have such a miserable time they sell it a month later. That's why I would go with a McLaren F1. Exotic, truly one of a kind, fast, but not track focused so it's not bad to drive:

So...no Zonda R because it's impractical...but rather an F1 car? lol

A pro-street Pantera with a beefed-up 2013-14 GT500 motor would be awesome. Italian looks with brute-force American power. When tastefully done, Panteras are amazing. Maybe have it done by Foose or Kindig.

New FGT just based on the cars I've SEEN. I'm sure my decision might be different if I had the opportunity to actually drive several of the cars that I think are amazing.

I'm sure that's the case for all of us. Treynor could probably speak to this better but I've been very disappointed in a lot of dream cars I've had the opportunity to drive. I've left wondering if the reviewers drove the same cars I did.

Thats the thing, not everyone is looking for the same experience. People got different likes. Most everything is purely subjective.

Completely agree.

As much as I loved my dad's Ford GT's, and as cool as they were to drive.....it really wasn't a $300k car to me.
