Actually, It's too good for my garage. I would probably knock a wall down in the bedroom so I could get it next to the bed and it could watch TV and be warm. It's probably too good for my bedroom too.

I actually got a ride in one... Aside from the completely sureal experience, it felt like trying to drive at 50-60mph in first gear in a normal car... in all gears. The gentleman driving seemed to have trouble with the shifter and the road we were on in Westchester NY had some frost heave breaks every 10ft or so, making for a bumpy lurchy, peaky ride. This same gentleman was kind enough to bring out his registered 959, f50 and a gull wing Merc, although I didn't get rides. The 959 sounded like a rock crusher at idle.
Any car?? Audi R8 please? In reality I like me Evo.
cyber evo, jun evo, hks evo... etc., 959, f50, tvr speed 12 (or pretty much any tvr), all of the cars already mentioned in this thread plus about 345 more. need at least one for every day of the year.
as with most of the people on this forum, I would have a very hard time choosing just one car as my all time favorite because it really depends on the application. I would love an R8, but it would be impossible to drive on the street. What fun is a car like that if you can't even drive it?

I didn't think 959's could be registered in the US. Bill Gates, being a Porsche fanatic, tried to bring two over in the 90's and got nabbed. They got taken from him by the government. Him and all of his co-workers used to to have time trials from a certain point on their way to work, and they posted all of their times on a board at work. He is so competative that he was bringing the 959's to make sure his times were the best. They were driving city streets at like 130mph. Imagine a CEO doing that these days.

You're correct 959's technically can't be registered in the US. this guy however got it done.

Agreed, for real world and street driving I don't really need/can't use anything more bada$$ than an evo. Much beyond that you need a track to use what these cars have to offer. Thus, the R8 for the top of the heap.
