Don’t have one, some research needed before answering.

This is a great thread - get involved. Dream car - go?

Well, apart from the obvious - If we're pipe-dreaming:
My first thought was a DB5 convertible, but then I remembered another equally gorgeous car from the '60s...



Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder.

There's not much to choose between the two in my eyes, but the Maserati just pips the Aston on rarity value as there were only 5 made in right-hand-drive.

F430 for me I think, as long as we're getting free servicing for life.

Or porsche speedster cos it has the 9k Redline gt3 engine but manual and drop top. I'd settle for a 997 turbo at a third of the price though.

Well, not the only hint. She’s running pretty low there! You can tell that’s not a stock wheel gap over the rear wheels.

Looking good though, I like it. How’s the torque steer with the amount of power you have in it now? Any wheel hop?

Yes, lowered on H&R coilovers, but not too low. The photo, below, shows the wheel gap back and front.

With a limited slip front differential on stock tires, there was tons of wheel hop even before tuning, however, since adding multiple braces and stability items and the new Michelins, I just have to be very careful for the first couple of seconds after hitting the accelerator, but even if I floor it off the line, the hop is gone, I just get spin.

Torque steer is there, but not too bad. She tracks where I point her.

I guy I knew had one of those re-issue Ford GTs. It would literally spit flames out of its exhaust, and was incredible in a straight line. This was back when I had my Lotus, and he would blow me away on the straights but I could catch him easily in the corners. Very cool car.
