Default Car Wish List v. ?

I'm sure it's been done quite a few times, but whatever.

Pick the top ten(10) cars you would like to drive before you die, in any order. Then of those ten (10), pick THE ONE(1) and why.

Here are mine:

Rickard Rydell's Volvo S40 BTCC car
Schumacher's Ferrari F1
Alfa Romeo 155 DTM car
Dauer 962 Le Mans Road Car
Vector W8 TT
Mercedes CLK GTR
Audi R8, or the new Audi Diesel P1 car
Ferrari F50GT
Mclaren F1
Renault Espace F1

Out of those I go with the F50GT. Supposedly only 3 were ever made, 1 of which was totalled. I want to know what FERRARI (of all manufacturers) deemed to be too expensive to produce to meet racing/production regulations.

I pick the Alfa Romeo 155 DTM car
I've heard good things about Alfa Romeo from my step dad which owned one when he lived in Panama. You see very few running around here.

This car seems to be a fun fast car to take around a circuit. Looks awesome in the pic too!

um... dude...
You're supposed to pick 10 cars for yourself, and then narrow them down to one. If you like the ones I picked, that's cool. I just seem to think you missed the point.

Any full out road or oval race car. And out of any full out race car it would be difficult to choose. I suppose F1 but right now I'm watching IRL and thinking how much I'd like to run those.

You'll laugh at my list... for some reason average street cars is my liking the most...
Mitsubishi Evo 5 GSR
Mitsubishi Evo III
Mitsubishi Evo 8
Subaru STI ESX edition
Nissan Skyline R32
Mitsubishi Eclipse Ralli-Art Concept (Evo 8 engine/drivetrain)
Volkswagon R32
Dodge Neon SRT-4
Nissan 180sx (No not no 240sx USDM)
Mitsubishi Galant VR4


I chose:
Mitsubishi Eclipse Ralli-Art Concept (Evo 8 engine/drivetrain)

Not because I own a Mitsubishi. Because it was insane looking and was producing a nice amount of hp. Lots of weight reduction with carbon fiber everywhere. Mitsubishi should of brought it out to the market. Might have helped them some instead of stuffing a v6 into a Eclipse.
