In addition to the 4C, what other cars do you love?

For me, it would be:
  1. Gen 1 Acura NSX - one of the legendary sports cars
  2. Gen 2 Acura NSX - currently underappreciated, but simply amazing
  3. Porsche 993 - the final year air-cooled
  4. Gen 5 Maserati Quattroporte GT-S - a proper 4-door Ferrari
  5. Gen 2 Audi R8 - the understated version of the Huracan

Mostly I like older stuff -

Miura, 308 GT4, mid-80’s 911 3.2 Carrera and my GTV6. I have never driven a Miura. Oh, a Boss 302 would be nice, and an early Pantera to scratch the Ford itch. The Boss 302 and the Miura are out of my price league though. I am good with my current cars, 4C, gtv6, ‘74 spider and ‘88 Milano now daily driver since I sold my Stelvio.

Saw a Ferrari 488 with larger tires than stock. Looked pretty damn good.

Not trying to be definitive, just my "List"... I imagine some great cars are "missing", but there's a car on this list that "did it better". I am not a sedan person in the slightest, but the v8 volvo s80 was hilarious as a drifter that sat 5 people very plushy, and the Alfa Giulia GTA was a standout. I'm sure there's fans of sedans but... Rolls Royce and Tesla just did that best, hands down, and neither would be paid for with my money despite such awesomeness.

Cars in parenthesis are the ones I haven't driven personally, just going with gut, personal experience, and other people's experiences.

For a moment I thought you were naming the cars in @hornetball 's garage.

I have an unhealthy addiction to Porsche 944s and such. I have had many 944s, 944 Turbos, couple 968s (including one I am converting from track duty to street duty) and a 944spec race car.
Here's the last one I had, unsure why I sold it but the 4C sits in its spot now.
The 944 is a fabulous looking car. The fender flares (what the 924 lacked) absolutely made the car. It did for the 924 exactly what the 288GTO did to the 308/328 series - gave it a fabulous aggressive edge that just completed the lines.
