Default Favorite Cars Other Than the F-Body

I was just wondering what everyones favorite cars other than the f-body were. Exotics or any other car. My top 4 would be the Lamborghini Murcielago, the Ferrari 360,the Corvette Z06, and a Viper. Have any of you all ever seen a Lambo or Ferrari 360. I just recently did in San Fransisco at the Lamborghini dealership. So what are yall's favorite cars. (other than the f-body of course.)

depends...

if it has to be within my price range and can't be an F-body ... Mustang Cobra (only stang I'd buy.. don't want a GT, V6, or Mach .0000000001) ... 03 of course

if it could be any car....

1. Dodge Viper (I love those cars... I will own one one day)
2. C6 Vette (but wouldn't get till the Z0x model comes out)
3. Jaguar XKR (the curves of the XKx are awesome)

Lambos, Ferarris, etc.. are nice... but they're overplayed for "if you could have any car" ...

Edit: I looked at this as if you could have any current car... I don't know much about older cars (no interest) ...

I've always wanted a '93-'96 Mazda Rx7 (FD3S) I've been in love with those cars forever.. When I get out of college i'm going to try to purchase a used Viper Rt/10 or find a huge lifted Superduty Ford.
