Although even with unlimited funds I think I would still just have a ubber efficient car instead ... if I were to ignore Fuel Efficiency , and had unlimited funds... top of my list might be.

sQuba

All the others I can think of that I would want are all higher efficiency cars.

Just seems that some folk ain't getting the "BUT I DON'T WANT A BIG ENGINE" element of some of the answers :-)

I guess it's a basic philsosophical difference, between the guy who sees wealth as being able to buy a different Rolex for every day of the week, and the one who sees wealth as not ever having to wear a watch.

Mazda 787B LeMans racer.

Why? Because rotary powered race car!

-------------
For a personal driver. High rpm is fun! Even my base-model Civic revs out to 7000 rpm. I haven't taken it there in 3+ years, and that's what I miss most with high-FE driving.
- Pagani Zonda (any variant)
- McLaren F1
- Lotus Elise
- Acura NSX
- Toyota Hilux diesel. My favorite truck, and not available in the USA.
