    Alfa vs 928 is a tough choice. Both have a unique look, but I'm going to go with the Alfa
    914 - Much want for one of these

    Both Porsches as well. If you took the X of the 280z, or had a 260 or 240, it would have won hands down over the Volksporsche.

    1985 Porsche 928
    1973 Porsche 914. If the Datsun was a 240Z that would have changed my vote.

    Porch and Porch, because the Alfa was not a 240Z or 280Z, we all want to forget the 260Z. :arf:

    928 and 914, although I would hold out for a '86 928S. It has the '87 S4 motor with the pre-facelift bumpers and spoiler.

    I have a little more than half of a 928 S4 now, a 944 Cab, 3.0L 4 cylinder :p

    Just the 914 here... I've still got the 914-6 on my bucket list. I've gotta have a Lotus 7 first!

    It was looking close on the 928 vs GTV6 but the 928 won out 8 to 5. I admit this was a tough choice. A friends dad had a GTV6 with the special leather and the bone shift knob. What a beautiful car.

    The 914 destroyed the worst Z ever 13 to 1.

    Tough choices minus the Elf.... Never likes the Elf.

    So I am going with the Karmann, just because IMO they are the most beautiful thing VW (not counting Porsche and the others) has ever offered. Even though they are dreadfully slow, and dont handle all the best, I could take care of that with copious amounts of aftermarket and fabricated parts.

    And the MINI that doesn't come with an extended backside and stupid schnoz...
