If it had to be on 1 vehicle, I'd say a Ferrari F40. I've always loved them. I'd also think of a Ferrari 599GTB. Or a Posche Carrera GT.

But ya , F40. Not the fastest, or whatnot, it's just a thinly disguised racecar. It's about the car & the driver. It just speaks to me.

10 rides like how Thunder550 said, now that would be some fun.

Spoolin, u never said your pick.

I would want a Ultima GTR but do some serious modifications to the interior to make it make luxurious and daily drivable. And it would have an aluminum block/aluminum heads/hydraulic roller valvetrain/custom sheetmetal intake/custom-fabricated stainless steel 180 headers BBC engine between 540-632 cu.in. and figure a way to mount the M&H 390/40R17 DRs on the back of it.

Well, this would be a little different from the norm but I would buy and AWD Audi R8, gut it and stick in a NRE 709ci Twin Turbo Big Block with somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500rwhp.

(This is their small block but I'd want their big block! )

So yeah that's probably what I'd do!!

Those cars aren't exactly quiet from the factory. They aren't ridiculously loud like alot of super cars but they still have some grunt. And quieting down a car for DD is pretty simple using cut-outs, the lope might be hard to hide though!!
