It's not like I would daily drive an F1, seeing as they are so rare and expensive these days. And if I could afford an F1, why would I work on it myself. I'd be throwing handfuls of money at my personal staff while I sipped on a drink.

This is my problem. Choosing just one would be impossible for me. I'm already indecisive, so I know a choice like this would make my go crazy. One pops into my head and I think "Oh! That's the coolest!" but then it's followed by another, and then another, and so on.

So getting away from the race cars (guilty), if I could drive any car to work, it would be something like a GT40 (not the new Ford GT, the GT40 is cooler) or a Factory Five GTM. But, they would have to be cars that I built myself, full out. Top of the line suspension, tires, brakes, nice interior, and a screaming high-rpm turbo V8, maybe even a Hartley turbo V8. Yes, and air conditioning for Texas driving duty.
Now that is cool, arriving in a sexy, stupid fast car, with an apocalyptic sound that spreads fear from a mile away, that you built yourself. Much cooler I think then arriving in a cool car that you wrote a check for.
So....
This
plus this (Ariel version shown)
plus a couple of these
plus a lot of wrenching, fabrication, painting...
EQUALS

You said it. Here are a few more.
Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (I prefer the GT):
Steve McQueen's brown Lusso (yes, I like brown):
This Alfa (either a prototype or a custom, depending on which site you're on):
Ferrari 250 GT (Bertone Berlinetta?):
And this "Zinc Miura" (aka ZN-75) show car:

On the one hand, the GTM is probably the only original-design kit car currently on the market that's still going to look good 40 years from now. But on the other hand, it's a little too much Daniel Craig, and not quite enough Roger Moore. I mean, obviously James Bond can split your head open in the blink of an eye, but he's supposed to do it with a ball-point pen, not a battle-axe.
(That said, I would still give my left nut for one of those MegaBusa engines.)
No.

I too lust after one of those V8 Busa motors. That is my dream powerplant for a Miata... or a GTM... or an Atom...
