It bother me how low the C5 is on the first list...a Miata before a 'Vette? :confused: I mean I have qualms with anything Mitsubishi over the Vette, and the two S13's too but...a Miata? I know they're pretty good track cars and whatnot, but a Vette will stomp them out in EVERY category ever, barring maybe lightest weight and most likely to be hit on by a guy in. Different strokes I guess...

My list man. I like the Speed Miata better then the C5. It's my opinion. How you gonna contest that?

I like light weight cars. What's so bad about a Miata? They're light, rwd, double wishbone at all four corners, and the Mazdaspeed model is turbo! It's exactly what everyone is lusting for Nissan to make (s16 silvia) except better because it's lighter and has double wishbone suspension instead of macpherson struts.

Hmmm. I'll go with just recently made cars and not outrageously priced. My dream car list is very different

1. 350Z (selfish reasons)2. M3 (amazing dual purpose car - so balanced)3. M5 (ideal car on a long trip)4. Porsche GT3 or Twin Turbo (ultimate sports cars)5 Viper GTSR coupe (track only) they're beastly on the street6. Last Gen Rx-7 (a true sports car)7. Z06 (blazing)8. Miata (i grin everytime I drive one)
