    Quiggs forgot to add the Nissan Skyline. You were referring to perfection, weren't you?

    The M5 is good, as is the 993 and the Ferrari 355 was the start of Ferrari's resurrgence. However the Lambo, although extravagant and fast, it was uncomfortable and harsh. I think that the M5 is the best of the group.

    Nope, that is indeed the M5. Seems like it to me anyway.

    Wing mirrors are most definitely not the aero M5 models, there's no small M5 sticker that appears on the front of the rubber bumper guard of the front door. Not sure, but I don't think the rear lip on the back of the boot is visible either, but that might just be the angle of the photo.

    What makes me believe it's a modded M5 is because the grille is blacked out on top of the non M5 bits.

    Whether the 911 is a TechArt car or the M5 is a M5 or someone's modded 535i is really irrelevant to the topic. We all know what a 993 Turbo and E39 M5 look like. Those were pictures I found on Google that would fit the parameters of the site. That's why I used them.

    And if you disagree with my list, post yours.

    i'd have your list no doubt, but if i was allowed to choose my own, and had to keep maintenance and upkeep realistic:









    that covers all bases for me keeping space/maintenance constraints realistic
    i'd probably throw a hot hatch of some description on the end too

    Automotive perfection as far as exhaust notes goes to the 355 with Tubi hands down IMO. The only contender that stands a chance is the Carrera GT. Anyone else? Overall with automotive perfection is a tough call, everyone has their preferences. I would like to think automotive perfection would be the thrill of shoving pure power down the throat of the respected and familiar automotive class in the form of an S7TT. ( I am aware that the S7TT can be considered royalty as well, but it is far less known and would be funny to hear people say wow thats a crazy mustang.)

    yes, but seeing them raced is awesome, so i want one.
    and how the hell would i afford the maintenance on a F1?

    Ok keeping it realistic, and as of today.






    The Fulvia and the Elan don't have to be necessarily an HF and a Sprint. The again I'd probably end up eventually changing some of them, since there are so many cars I'd like to own at some point. The Maserati Ghibli, the Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda, an original Mk I Golf GTI...

    The stingray looks like a bathtub I used when I was young.

    There I said it, I am a corvette heretic.


    The Porsche is the only thing there that goes as well as it looks. Perfect.
