What would you go for if the sky was the limit?
The Cobra. A real, legit, street version of the Shelby Cobra that is.
I wouldn't mind one of these guys.

An original cobra would have a lot more speed potential though I must say. Reading up on the handmade procedure for these guys is just amazing. Entirely aluminum body. (I get carbon fiber would be lighter but I really dig the craftsmanship.
Back in about '70 +/-, my Uncle had a Jag XKE convertible. What a car. They weren't very dependable, Jags were always in the shop for something ... but as far as a good looking car, it couldn't be beat! Way ahead of it's time.
I've always been into English roadsters though. I've owned an Austin Healey Sprite, an Austin Healey 3000, and an MGB in my time. Again, English cars take a bit of maintenance, but great cars.
