OK since this thread is about Dream *Cars*, I'll have to cast my personal vote for this one...  I'd really love to have a badass Cobra.

RickF,
That is a nice boat, but I'd rather have one that is more accomodating for passengers and entertaining. I don't like the seating arrangement in those style boats, but the speed would be nice. Randy, the pictured 36' Yellowfin is built specifically for fishing and that's exactly what I'd use it for ... I don't do well around crowds anyway.

There, Rick, that wasn't so hard now was it?  I think like most, when you see a big boat moving fast like that one, the first assumption is that it is for cruising people around. My grandpa always used to tell me that his fishing boats needed big motors so that you can get to the fish faster. I'm guessing it is the same with the one you picked out.

This is like the car I had way back in the day. I would love to have another. A 1969 Firebird 400.

You'll have to visit a place like Factory Five Racing to get your kit. I'm sure someone sells turnkey versions somewhere. Funny you should mention that. I’m on their mailing list. I’ve been trying to save up for the carbon fiber rolling chassis option. My lofty goal was to drop a crate LS-7 (Z06 engine) and six speed into it….. Total cost with paint and instrumentation should run around 65K. Ho-hum…. One of these days.

McLaren F1 for me, Nick posted pics on page 1, that by far is my dream car...I think there are less than 70 models left in the world...you can get them for a measly 1.5 million I think. To this day car makers have trouble trying to best this car on the track (13 years later).

Joe, just be careful with that Enzo that it doesn't rip in half if you get in an accident....

To this day car makers have trouble trying to best this car on the track (13 years later). I believe it was about 25 years, the last 427 was in 67? and it was sometime in the 90s before the 427 Cobra was matched 0-100mph-0, IIRC.

Jason,
are we talking about the same car? I thought the McLaren F1 ceased production in '95? perhaps I am mistaken..
