Your ideal car stable is? 3 car limit

Ill start...

'09 997 GT3 (red), with optional yellow accesories... or should I shell out the extra for the GT2 ... ugh!! decisions.

'07(?) SL55 (black) with 030 Performance Package, or shall I relax and get a SL65, ugh!!!! more decisions...

Merc GL420CDI / or 550 if you get a 550 in this, guess has to be silver... FFS ... I can't make up my mind.

Wierdly I have four cars and none of them are the ones above ...


EDIT: Ideally the choices should be those you would realistically make given your current or near future circumstances..... but hell if you want to dream too be my guest...!!!!

06 SL65 / 97 993tt /11 Suburban/ 2012 GTR (AMG è la mia Famiglia la Bestia è la mia protezione)
1. SL65: What can I say? A V12 Beast with a convertible hardtop...sex on wheels.
2. S65: The comfort, the tech, and the safety for those long trips.
3. Ferrari 599 GTB: For my exotic taste...probably the most understated Ferrari (if there is such a thing)...but blazing fast out of the box.

LS430
W220/W221 S65 w/ECU Tune for the sleeper safe rocket sedan. Nothing touches the V12TT as much as I love the E55. It will also haul the family safely.

HPF Stage 2.5+ M3 for all out sports car with a manual gearbox.

Underground Racing Twin Turbo Gallardo pushing 1400 AWHP, 60-130 of 3.5 seconds(soon to be in the 2s if they didn't shift) and street tire 1/4 mile times of 9.1, wait until they add slicks. World domination never hooked, looked, or feel so good.
