About the best "modern" car I have driven, in terms of still having those subjective ideals of soul and passion, was the Ferrari 550 Maranello.

In his words it was "reliable as a Honda", but it still made the blood race and the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
Of course it should for what it costs.

The only problem with it was that it put your driver's licensce in great peril at all times...

The Cockster, really? I'd rather suggest you tried the Cayman S, that is by far the most well balanced Porsche on the road.

And yes, a 550 is really a great investment if you have the money. They'll be fantastic classics. I'd still opt for a GTO or GTB myself though, sexier looks..
