A couple of questions here.. does heritage play a part in what you consider to be a dream car? Or is it just the car itself.

Also which would you say has the most respected heritage:

Posche 911
Nissan Skyline
Chevrolet Corvette
Ford Mustang
Toyota Supra
Dodge Viper
Mazda RX7
add in any others I've missed

Since the models have changed over the years I'll just throw in Lamborghini and Ferrari as a company period. From seeing pictures of the Porsche and Ferrari museum it just seems like if you purchase one you are purchasing a part of history, because of this the Porsche is looking a lot more attractive to me than any Skyline even if there is a new one coming out.

i would say a little bit of both, however i mean, i love Silvia/240sx's but i have to say that even tho these cars have been around in some form or another for the last 20 years its still a great platform. I respect the nissan heritage and will most likely always own at least 1 nissan but the car itself doesn't hurt, i mean after all no one won't by a car b/c of heritage.

Porsche 911 hands down. As for companies then I would have to say top three are Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini

If we're going heritage, I'd say Ferrari would be number 1, and if we're talking about specific cars, the Mustang and Vette would be a tie.

For the south i'd say the corvette has the most respected heritage but I'm with Ga_Teg, from the list it would be Porsche 911 hands down (that's if you consider it evolved from the 356)...my dad (technically grandfather, i'm adopted by grandparents) was tearing up 350+hp Vettes in his 90hp '56 356 Speedster at both Daytona and Sebring...

...but you can't forget about Ferrari or even Mercedes...Mercedes built their own track in 1939 solely to test a car built for the Tripoli Grand Prix...and now that track, Hokenheim, is still used to this day for all sorts of circuit racing. Lamborghini produces incredible cars but just doesn't have the race history/heritage of Ferrari or Porsche...

I love all cars, even those only good to go in a straight line...but Ferdinand and Enzo own all!
