Damn good list, but I wanted you to pick from one of the cars I listed. The auction is coming up in 3 weeks and these are my options so far.

I'd pick one of the BMW's as those are the only ones I would NOT want to keep.

I just think that's one of the best looking cars ever made, inside and out.

im a HUGE Porsche fan, so u know that turbo is in my list. Take the maserati out BECAUSE of te paddle shift, its jerky and annoying, youll be hitting the imaginary clutch the whole time u got that car, unbelievable engine noise. Z8, just a M5 in drag, but still and incredible car. M3 cab is out in my book because its not on the same level as the rest. PORSCHE

Aston or Z8. I can't believe I'm about to write this but.... the others just aren't that special. No doubt the top performer on your list is the 911 Turbo, you can't say enough about an M3, and the Maser represents that marques return to greatness, but I've seen all three of those cars in the last week here in my sleepy little hamlet of Kingston, Ontario, Canada (no kidding), in the middle of winter! In my life, I think I've only seen 3 Z8's, and on the road, never a DB7 (Astons are not that common here north of the border- I think the only dealership is across the street from my sis' place in Toronto, but I can't remember seeing one ever other than at that dealership or at the auto shows). Plus, neither of those two are in production today, making them all the more special. For my own part, I've never driven a V12, so I know what I would choose.
Be sure to post pics when the deed is done.

Cheers,
Derek

Aston Martin Hands down, I think of it in a much more exclusive category than any of the others listed.

That would be a cliche', no gremlins in these cars mate.
