Actually you guys are wrong...

A year or so ago dodge went with hennessy and they agreed to make 24 "Production" cars that actually comes with a dodge 2 year warrenty.

So yes it was a production car.

Anyways yea you can still get the hennessy upgrade with any viper..
Oh, I haven't heard of that, but eh.. I guess it's possible.
The Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin Turbo is tight and all, but if it's possible, I'd go with the Hennessey Venom GT.

Well if it's my only car it HAS to be a convertible. I would go crazy driving a car with a fixed roof during summer as my top is down 100% of the time when it's not raining and not freezing

I would love to say Audi R8 but they haven't made a cab yet....so I'd hesitate between these 2:

1-911 Turbo cabriolet

2- Carrera S convertible with X50 package (381HP)

I would love the power of the turbo but miss the sound of a Carrera S...

There's nothing like a tuned flat 6 car howling around 6000RPMs....With a turbo that ''howl'' is a little silenced...

I would also be very happy with a brand new 2009 Porsche Boxster S. It's expected to get about 315HP which makes things interesting for a 2900 pound roadster.

Hennessey is reportedly quite a crook - just do a search on the Viper forums. No way I'd want to do business w/ him or support his shady business practices.

2010 Nissan GT-R. By then the price of this car should reach $80k.

Ford GT. Excellent supercar, but the parts are just ford, and the labor to work on it doesn't require a PhD.

Add me to the 911 TT cabrio group. Four seats (albeit small in the back), AWD, pretty reliable, quick and fast, and I could actually afford the maintenance as well. With two kids by the end of the year, I just couldn't commit to a five-year ownership with a two-seater as our only car.

However, if the terms were that this could be MY only car (but my wife could still have her car), I'd go with a 911 GT3 in white.

JonBoy, congrats on your upcoming kids, but just try fitting a rear facing child seat in a 911!
