Well, the only thing I've owned is a Subaru Justy AWD (Bitty AWD econo-box), I do drive a '86 325i and '94 Eagle Vision ESi on occasion, and am planning on picking up a Vision TSi in the fall (Live in the city, where I don't need a car).
Dream Cars:
'96 Supra TT (Project car)
'02 Lancer EVO VII
'71 Hemi 'Cuda Convertible (Only 18 made, what Nash Bridges Drives)
Pagani Zonda C12S
As to the Rice/Muscle debate. It depends what you do to the cars. The Japanese GT cars (Supra, Skyline GT-R, Mitsu GTO/300GT VR-4) are in the same performance category as your average bit of American Muscle, sure they're slower stock than a ZO-6, but they'll run with a Camaro SS or Mustang GT all day, and they build out to stupid horsepower, often going much higher than that muscle.
I've got a clip on my desktop of a 9 second Supra daily driver. Sub $100K spent.
The big Inline-6's build out to 800+ horsepower, and rev higher than a big V-8. You ain't going to build a Civic that's going to top a mildly built Pony Car, but the GT cars can run with them no problem, they're just different solutions to the same problem.
BTW, the WRX is faster 0-60 than an '83 Lamborgini Countach.
