F430 for certain. It may not survive the weekend, but if thats someone elses problem then all the more reason. The gt3 would be better to own, the f430 better when maintenance is someone elses problem

Voted for the DB9, but any of those would be fine for me

Edit: Well i was thinking about the DBS now i saw it was the DB9, but anyway, fine.

Just for a weekend - the Bentley. Provably your only chanse to feel like a King - driving a super luxury car with a million hp and lovely noise from the engine.
May be it is the less sporty one, but its just depends on what you want - a race weekend or a sweet one)

Except for the fact that it just snowed about 12" and nobody in South East Michigan seems to know how to deal with that, I'd take the F430 in a heartbeat for a weekend. The visceral experience, the noise, and the sense of occasion would be pretty hard to match by any of the others in the list. As a long-term proposition, I'd have to take the GT3 RS I think.

F430 for sure, because of that sweet sound, and because every girl dreams of having a ride in a Ferrari with a guy like me

Porsche GT3 RS... something alluring about that rear engined track ready street car... 8-12" of snow later

^it's still snowing up here, so I wouldn't be surprised if we have a foot of snow by tomorrow hehe.

Oh man would it be fun to have a 500hp+ 4wd Gallardo to drive around right now

No snow here, only sunshine. So I'll take the F430.

^^^ but that's a GT2 car jk

I appreciate Ferraris and their racing heritage but I will never have automatic fascination for them that many of you do. While the DB9 is the most reputable Le Mans car on the list, the R8 would be the most fun for me to hoon around in for a weekend.

F430....GT3 RS would be worthless in everyday driving. Really dont want to see a pack my things around roll cage everyday!

Track car... GT3 RS for sure

Gallardo just looks good and sounds good........not near the performer
