The Modern Classic Car/Bike you would like in your garage?

Yep, this was another recent deck discussion 

After much argument, it was decided that modern classic is a car/motorbike after 1980. 

Think about it, google a pic and post up. 

If you actually have one in your garage...you can use that pic.

Well I'm part of the way there. 2014 C4S is in the garage now. Absolutely love it. Espresso tan interior, glass sunroof, sport Chrono, manual transmission.

Only two cars I would trade it for would be a 2018/9 911 GT3 with a tan interior (actually might not be an option) and painted arena red with a manual transmission. Or, a 993 turbo manual. Again, arena red on tan.

But Rob, how do you define a modern classic? At what year do you cut off and say no younger than this? Can a car with less than 10 yrs (and possibly still in production) be considered a classic? Maybe as a future classic, but I can't see cars younger than 10 years, or still in production, as a classic car.

I mean if I’m being realistic, a 964 3.6l Turbo or a 993 Turbo S. Bike - Desmosedici RR

 

But honestly, if I can have anything from 1980 onwards in the car department, how could anyone choose any car other than a Papaya orange McLaren F1 LM.

Toyota MR2 Mk1. I used to own one back in 1989/90 when I was living in London. Sold it when I moved to Singapore and still kicking myself about it. Best handling car I’ve ever driven. Light, mid-engined and no power steering to dilute feedback through the wheel; it was the epitome of seat of the pants driving feel.

After 1980...well, I could do a BMW Z1. 

Or a McLaren F1. Or a 911 GT2. Or a Ferrari F40. 

Also wouldn't mind a NSX-R of course.

This should fit the bill....I am in the process of ordering one of these. Replica Shelby Cobra 427 built by Superformance. Have wanted one of these forever. Just had my first child and turned 40 so figured I can qualify this as a mid-life crisis purchase and be in the clear.

For car, 3rd generation Mazda RX7. So many great bikes, it's hard for me to choose.

If money was no object.

Porsche 959 (this car is perfection to me).

Runner ups: Ferrari 288 GTO and a mid 2000's era Ford GT

So advanced for its time.  I really hope the Porsche brings a street version of these back someday.

2002 Electron Blue Z06 and a Honda CBX.

[dobbs]

the bike, without a doubt, would be the 1992 honda nr:

honda cbx is a great choice too though, at full-song there is not much sweeter.

car? hmm, there's a bunch, but probably something cool but goofy, like a buick gnx:
