Me, I'd have the Lotus Exige 240R.


Porsche?

Ferrari? Been there, hated that

Marcos? stylistically challenged

Noble? see above

Impreza/evo? they get better every year in every way apart from looks. I prefer the original versions of both.

Thank God for TVR! Gawd bless 'em! Beautiful British cars!

if I couldn't have the Tuscan, I have to confess to being swayed by the vast number of journalists (publishing and TV) that sing the praises of the Porsche 911. OK, they may be as common as a cold, but having never driven the living daylights out of one, I reserve judgement.
Failing that, a Caterham Superlight 300 and a DB9 for 'posh' days.

Even though they are a bit too 'focused' I would probably end up going for an Ultima GTR . or perhaps a Noble? However, as long as they are around, I can see a TVR in the garage for a long time to come

Nissan 350z with supercharger conversion. Lovely.

Or a sportier daily drive and a real toy car garage - 60s yank muscle and a caterfield.

As I can't have a TVR here (in Hungary) I currently have a Ferrari, but am looking at changing it for a Corvette.

Modded TR8 with lsx, any size and there's plenty of room for the conversion with turbo's or a supercharger. Cavernous engine bays in those TR's

GOM said:
Ultima


Well, maybe I would like an Ultima instead of the modded TR8 but it would have to be a very good one. My mates TR8 was only 1 second a lap slower around mallory park then an ultima. Ultimas are the better looking car though but probably not as practical.

I agree, raced bikes for some years and they are the only thing that gets close to the feeling of a Tiv!
Would probably go for a Noble if no TVR, they are cracking cars! I just wish they did a V8!! The V6 Twin Turbos are lovely, but can't beat that V8 noise (sorry Noble owners)!!!!

Viper, there's a few companies in the US, that tune them to over A 1000 bhp.

A 600 brake Hennessey, should keep me happy. http://dodgevipers.tenmagazines.com/modified.html
