Having owned a 1991 MR2 Turbo, and currently lusting after a Cayman, I would just add that everyone who is a car nut should own at least one light midengine car. Most will prefer it from that point on.

I agree on the first part, but not the 2nd. If that were the case, there would be lot more of them on the market.

I'd say for Porsche you have to own one front-engined Porsche, preferably a 968 even though they are a little obese and roll a bit too much. I wouldn't really recommend owning a 951, but if you have the chance to drive one--especially a modded one--that's a must. If you're only going to drive one 911 in your life, please make it an air-cooled car. 964 is one of my favorites, but I'm thinking a 3.2 carrera or targa will be my next P-car.

Cars are/will always be subjective just like rims or any other luxury item we buy. What works for one guy doesn't mean it will work for the neck, this is why we have choices.

If I had to drive the NSX everyday in SF ~ I'm sure it will be one of my most hated cars because it never was meant for that purpose. Probably same with the Ferrari....

I've driven most of the early 90-late 2000 era Ferrari at some point including track time. Had a chance to pilot a F430 down Route 66 and got killed but who cares it sounded amazing, in fact none of them were disappointing. Even when I drove the 308 back on around LSD and Chicago's worst streets was a fun experience besides parking. F-cars are built to instill emotions and each model does it well.
yup... one man's dream car is another's nightmare.
I think NSX is a much better DD than pretty much any Ferrari. At least it's more comfortable and easier to drive.
NSX is on my "to get" list. One of the dream cars growing up and it's now within reach.

Since we're local to each other, I'd be happy to give you a ride in the NSX or even the 458 if I have it and you can give me a ride in the Stradale! I love the look and lower stance of the Stradale and would love to get my hands on a nice yellow one someday to add to the stable.

Can someone give me a ride in their Ferrari? You can get a ride in my stock S2000.
