What was your high school/childhood dream car? Would you buy it today if you could?

'99 but yes I love that car too.
66-67 GTO. I can afford to start a project but I want a boat and upgraded house stuff first.
I was talking to my wife about this last night about how a lot of people have a dream car...
Maybe there is something wrong with me but there is not one singular car I drool over. I have too many different things I like for different reason. I have a "dream car for a purpose".
DD fun toy maybe C6Z
Autocross/RR toy C2/C3 or a 60's Camaro SS with full suspension and LS motor.
Something stupid would be maybe a HCI LS2 Miata.
My wife told me she drooled over the new GTO's when she was in HS. Especially the Brazen Orange LS2's.

Think of it like this, there are plenty of hot women all over in different ways but im sure you had that one chick who will always be in your memory.
Great white buffalo……...
I was in high school in the early 90's so the 93 Cobra and the Syclone were the cars to have. I'd buy a Cobra but while I like the Syclone I'd never buy them because from what I've heard they're reliability nightmares.
I absolutely dreamed of the day I could get a 1983 Datsun/Nissan 280 ZX. Preferably Turbo. Loved this car as a kid and actually owned 2. If it wasn't for the known wiring problems I'd have one today.
I liked them too. I remember going with my dad to the local dealer and them having the same car sitting under the covered portion of the building, their version of a showroom. I was still a few years from driving, but I always was trying to put my parents in fine automobiles. Dad used to let me drool over cars without ever totally putting the kibosh on the idea. I suggested we come back when the place was open and see about getting it. Rather than telling me I was crazy, he simply asked, "where's your mother going to sit?"

This is a buddies 280 ZX. Its currently lowered on coilovers that required a bunch of custom work and will possibly be getting a stroked LS1 this winter/ spring. I will believe the engine swap when I see/ hear it run and drive. He has a tendency to talk a lot... but the engine is currently out of it.
I've wanted a Bullitt since 7th grade and I bought one last summer for a song and started building.
As a kid I can remember lusting over the usual poster cars...a few in particular that I distinctly remember were the Countach, Vector M12, and XJ220. But in high school I don't remember thinking about cars much...I wanted a Mustang, but don't recall ever having a particular year/model in mind. My college dream car was the R34 GT-R, and I would absolutely buy it today if I could, but I wouldn't part with my Cobra.
96 Viper GTS blue w/ white stripes. Been in love with Vipers since the concept came out in 89 when I was just a pup. Thought it couldn't possibly get better than an RT/10 until the coupe came out. I could probably buy one right now but after driving a couple of them, they kind of lost their practical appeal. Not too comfy for 6+ footers. Still love the car, will always be my "unicorn" but I think its better that way, not owning it and always imagining the possibility.
Current dream car is an 09+ GTR. Figure I can still throw babies and groceries in it if I need to.

Always been a 69 429 boss. Still love to own one. Or an ac cobra.
Porche 928. Something about the headlights...man, I lusted after that car.
I had so many but mainly Toyota Supra and hell yea I would buy one if I could come up with 40k in cash. I was never really into exotics.

Growing up (before high school), my dream car was an IROC Z28. Yeah, didn't know much about cars. By time I got to high school I was into 5.0s. Once I got one, I wasn't thinking of anything else, well except maybe Eleanor, since Gone in 60 Seconds came out about that time. I've never been into high end cars. If I was mega rich, I'd own one, but I would literally have to have so much money to burn to buy something like a Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, etc. I'd rather spend my money on insane vacations and bad ass houses.
When I was 15 and had my learner's permit my dad had a 92 Mustang GT. That car introduced me to the world of performance cars. My realistic goal was to own a top of the line Mustang be it a Cobra or whatever.
Bought my GT500 last spring and couldn't be happier with it.
The next step up my list is the Dodge Viper though. Hopefully I can look into one of them in the next decade as my toddler aged daughter grows up a bit.

In VT, we lived on a nice quarter mile straight. Farmer's sons got new cars every couple of years and roar by our driveway...you could hear them coming up the road.....1970ish wonder years cars: road runner (6 pack), cuda, mach, camaro, MD javelin, chevelles, on and on...
If I were rich enough..
I'd buy each of these...one at a time...drive them a few months..then sell them back...
