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

[Ponyracer1]

Red RT/10 Viper. Once I got older and learned some about cars and practicality I slipped it to a blue/white stripe GTS Viper. Will own one soon.

Lamborghini Countach. They actually still look cool but I could never picture myself driving one.

First gen viper is my ultimate dream car. Not quite yet for the viper. Obtainable dream car e36 m3. I did own one for a beautiful 6 months...

 

[SID297]

Boss 429 for a car and an F-350. Managed to get the truck. Wouldn't want the Boss 9 now because I wouldn't drive it and couldn't leave it stock. Would rather build one at this point.

Always wanted a blue with white stripes viper gts. I still do. I don't know when but I will own one before I die.

I am with these guys. The GTS was it.

03 Sonic blue or DSG Lightning. Growing up, I might buy my dad his dream car which is a 71 Mach 1, before I get mine.

 

[Zemedici]

Lamborghini Gallardo.

My runner-up was a C5 Z (which i already owned)

I could sell a few things and buy a used one now, however, i dont see it happening any time soon for practicality reasons.

It's crazy how inexpensive gallardos have become. They're affordable now.

Since I was 6 years old I've wanted a 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Maybe one day I'll get lucky and own one.

My other dream car was a Teal 93 Cobra which I just bought about a month ago.

 

[sonicblue04gt]

I graduated high school in 93 so my dream car list is more than just one:

Jaguar XJ220
Ferrari F40 then the F50 then the Enzo now the LF
Lamborghini Diablo VT
Boss 429 and 302
Original BIGFOOT moster truck
Original Dukes of Hazard Hemi Charger
90s Trans Am GTA
Typhoon

It wasn't until I got older that I found other cars that are just plain AWESOME and WAY too expensive for me to afford!

 

[Gravik]

McLaren F1

When I was a kid I was all about wanting a Porsche. 911, 928, 944, it didn't matter. 3000GT VR4 was one that I lusted after when it came out. The C4 ZR1 was another. Oh and a MKIV TT Supra of course, although I was in college when they came out. How am I the first one to mention a Supra?

I am surprised no one listed the Supra or the 3000GT either.

There are a few cars that I thought would be listed already that aren't. No one said the Grand National yet. Also surprised there are not more 93 Cobras and Trans Ams.

 

[medicdroid]

We all drove really slow cars back then....I used to think the Evo 8 was an amazing machine.

I think some people failed in reading in OP's post that it should be cars you dreamed of as a kid but could now purchase.

 

[Tezz500]

This is gonna sound so stupid... But... I have it.

My 1993 Black Ford F150 Lightning.
I wanted that ****er so bad when I first started driving.

 

[Uncle Meat]

'69 Camaro SS. Still is my favorite car. Would buy one in a millisecond if I came across the right deal.

U.M.

 

[mineralgrey01gt]

93-98 toyota supra twin turbo targa top with a manual transmission. Always will be my dream car even though I love a lot of classic muscle cars. Id buy one in a heart beat if I could find a decent deal on one.

 

[CobraBob]

My high school dream car was the '66 Chevelle SS396 L78. :rockon:

 

[MaximumVelocity]

1982 Lamborghini LP500S. Still have the framed poster hanging up.

 

[01GTB]

I don't think I ever really dreamed of the exotics. For a long time I wanted a 1970 Olds 442. By that time the car was 15 years old and somewhat hard to come by for a decent price. I think the closest I ever came to buying one was a 71 442 convertible in 1986. The only thing that separated me from it was the money

A strange turn led me to Fords a year later and I have been driving them ever since.
