McLaren F1 LM. 680hp, 8500rpm V12, in a car 500 pounds lighter than the BRZ/FR-S. Lower, stiffer, lighter, and more responsive than the regular McLaren F1. And, to top it all off, it looks like this:

I already have my dream car. The Nissan GT-R R35… I have wanted a GT-R since first arriving in Japan in 1996 and I always talked myself out of buying one. I just saved my money and kept the dream alive. I almost pulled the string in 2009 but my job prevented me from getting one. Finally I bit the bullet in 2013 and it truly is a dream come true. Every time I see a Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, or you name it expensive super car I have a sense of pride in knowing that my GT-R makes those cars look really silly on a race track for a fraction of the cost. I am so happy that I did not overpay for true performance.

Some people do not like the looks of the GT-R but to me it is a piece of artwork. It just looks and drives in a way that is menacing and it kind of feels like you are a predator hunting for prey…

In a sense the BRZ is the same way with regard to its performance potential and what you get for the money. I have been blessed to own two of my most highly desired cars at the same time and I am very thankful.

I'm with you on the GT3 - that's my semi-realistic dream car as well.

I saw one last night! An orange one, while I was at Sonic talking to some car friends here in STL.

They are really breathtaking cars! I felt like a kid again getting so excited to hear it get on the highway

The irony is, after dumping my money into buying such a phenomenal track car, I'd be way too scared to actually track it
