If you want to push driving fun to its absolute limits, however,
nothing does it like our Best Dream Machines. First in this
lottery-winning lineup is the dream of many an American driver, the
Chevrolet Corvette. This sixth-generation 'Vette is the tightest,
sharpest, most powerful Corvette yet. It's available as a coupe or
convertible, and for 2006 the 500-horsepower Z06 arrives. The new
Corvette delivers world-beating performance, for a price reasonable
enough to make many a working man or woman's automotive dreams come
true.
Our second Dream Machine, the Lotus Elise, costs even less than the
Corvette. So what makes it so dreamy? How about exclusivity and
heart-stopping handling? With a limited number of this ultra-nimble
roller-skate headed to U.S. shores, only a select group of automotive
Anglophiles get to enjoy its razor-sharp, corner-carving abilities.
We'll also wish upon a star to be in the ultra-exclusive crowd
of Porsche Carrera GT owners. But none of us have a spare $440,000 for
this Porsche exotic right now. If we did, we could buy a road-legal
machine with all the technology and performance of a prototype race car.
Even a short ride in this carbon-fiber wonder-car will spoil you for the
rest of your life. The Carrera GT is the best motivation to get rich
that we've ever driven!
