"Talking Cars on a Thursday: What's your dream 10-car garage?" Thu Feb-12-15 03:58 PM by magilla vanilla
You get $4 million, so you can't just say 10 Enzos and be done with it. We're assuming you get the cars, or can pay a shop to restore them to, cherry condition. What's in your 10?
Here's mine:
41 Ford business coupe: Nice old classic, original ratrod. But still familiar controls and layout
Impreza wrx: I want a good, modern hot hatch for a daily driver. This has some punch, it's safe, and gets me through all weather conditions.

1988 Pontiac Fiero GT - all original, low mileage 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT - engine swapped with a heavily modded 3.8L turbocharged Buick V6. I've seen one of these turn in low 11 second times in the quarter mile. 2005 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG - Would need to have AMG's factory 700+HP option. 2011 Mercedes ML63 AMG - Fast as shit for an SUV, last year for that body style. 1991 Ferrari Testarossa - Last year they were made before the name change to 512TR and the last year before they changed the look of the front end. 1997 Ferrari 456 - The last year before they switched to the 456M. Didn't care for the changes they made. 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT - Last year for pop-up headlights. 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster - 'cause the shit is dope as fuck. 1987 Buick GNX - Fuck your Grand National, the GNX is KANG!!!
And finally...
2010 Koenigsegg CCX - because fuck everyone; I'm gettin' a Koenigsegg.

despite all the "sheet metal sibling rivalry", GM made some genuinely ass-kicking cars in the '80s and these two top the list IMO.
the Fiero really justified the existence of Pontiac. it was unique to the brand. It looked like a little Firebird but was more like an MR2 for 'MURRICA. And it was unabashedly 'MURRICAN. Very unique. Loved it. Pontiac never made a car like it again, either. some bullshit. I would love to see a modern one of these.
the GNX was the ultimate GM "Q" car IMO. because it looks like a mere bad-ass Regal, but that description never did it justice. this was GM eating the poo-poo because it was whoopin Vettes' asses

I know corvette fanboys believe the vette was always GM's best, but in 1987 the hands down quickest car GM had on the market was the GNX, and if you caught one with the Stage 1 Buick chip (sold in extremely limited numbers to government agencies - cops and the FBI), it was the absolute fastest car GM had in it's stable.
The stage 1 chip removed the 123mph limiter and allowed the car to run well over the 145mph on the dash (the government cars had 145mph speedometers, which the standard cars didn't have).
At the time, only the Lamborghini Countach could match it's acceleration and there's nothing I can find on the top speed without the governor.
