What is your ideal car from what's available on the market today, and why?

I have always been a big fan of the late 90's early 2000's Dodge Viper. Blue with white racing stripes...

Prepare to have your heart broken. Yahoo!

I would love to have a 67 Camaro.

I was just looking on Ebay and see two 1970 Buick Electras. I would love to have one of those. I think that was my favorite car.

Mid 60s Shelby GT350 convertible. It's a shame the prices have gone stratospheric the last 10 years making them nearly unattainable. Maybe someday, I'll find a replica

I would have to break this up into different segments:

Dream Sports Car and money no object.

Ferrari 458 Italia. Yes, there are faster sports cars but I don't care. The looks and sound.

I want my 1974 Ford Mustang II back. It was four cylinder and a manual transmission. It was basically a go-cart with a windshield but it was a lot of fun.

Don't really have one. Vehicle are a tool to me; nothing more. My dream vehicle gets decent mileage, is reliable, and let's me do what I need to.

Would really like a 2014 Silverado High Country edition.

But seeing as I just rolled my 2000 accord over to 300,000 miles last weekend, I would be content with most any vehicle under 100,000.
