Good luck finding one, SunChild. I'd say they're pretty rare and the value only goes up so you might wanna wait till you hit $350 buckos.

I'm going to try to drive it the next time I'm over at my girlfriend's place. She's thinking about selling it soon, though. Auction.

Great replies from people. I wanted to comment on some of the posts that people made.

Mindcore- I am not sure what a DR 911 Turbo 3.6 is, but if it is anything like the RUF Turbo that is a great car. The RUF is slow until you get to about 3000 RPMs, then it feels like you just got rear end because the power comes on so quickly. Very fast car, scary fast.

Spaceneedle- I admire you, what an experience to drive in a McClaren F1. That would have to be the second car on my want to drive list.

Captain- A friend of mine has a Lamborghini Diablo, not an SV, and I like the car. The only thing that I did not like about it was the visiblity was aweful, and really cramped inside. But the car is fast.

Scot- The Tyhoon is a killer car, in fact I almost bought one. The reason why I didn't was because my friends that have them all had to replace their engines at 30,000 miles. This was covered under the warrenty, but the next one would not be. No thanks, I don't want to change my engine every 30,000 miles.

Insomniak- A have a great memory of a Ferrari 355 GTS. One of my customers had one and wanted me to do some work on it. He gave me the car for 2 weeks and when it was done he said that I could take my girlfriend , now wife, out on the town in his 355. The car was a dream to drive, very fast, handled great, and my wife loved the fact that at every stoplight people would look at us. All I can say about that car is it sounds knarly.

I am surprised no one talked about the Viper GTS Coupe. This is a very fun car. Exteremly torquey and the V10 engine sounds awesome. The only problem with this car is that I heard the engines have problems.

I drove a 993 turbo 3 weeks ago and I was honestly dissapointed. It's fast, etc, etc... But doesn't give you the same feeling as a ferrari.

ferrari 355 F1 with Tubi exhaust was my favorite drive.

On the usual scale I'd have to say a friends (female BTW) 993. We went for lunch in a National Park and I drove there. Very nice.

That said, if money wasn't in it I'd say my S. If I had a choice between the two I'd take the Porsche, sell it and buy the S, and pocket the difference (seriously).

My dream drive is a Lamborghini Diablo Roadster. If anyone can line that one up for me they can have my first born.
