A Toyota MR2 of any year!

+1 on the MR2 idea, although my particular dream has always leaned toward garage-created automotive monstrosities. Having a good deal of road course and autocross experience under my proverbial belt, I’d go with an 87-91 Porsche 944 fitted with an corvette LS-1 drivetrain (a few companies already make a complete kit for this project). Being that the 944 was an underpowered FR layout with excellent handling characteristics that made use of a transaxle system, the corvette powertrain can be fitted to the 944 with relatively little modification. The result is a raging hell-beast of a machine with the outward appearance of the modest 944 that outhandles most other things in the corners, and then blows by everybody else in the straights. With a bit of tuning, suspension work and weight reduction you’d have one hell of a car for about from 5-15 thousand dollars that will outdrive stuff that costs 5 times as much, a little too much work for most people but worth it for someone like me

An old 80’s fox-body Mercury Capri with a 302 V8, preferably a “Black Magic” with a T-top. These cars were exactly like the 80’s Mustangs, but they had flared wheel-wells and unique front and rear facia. There are lots of parts and hop-ups available for these cars and they can be made to be quite quick road and handling cars. I would love to find one someday.
