I love driving and motorsport and have probably bought too many cars since passing my test when I was 17. (I'm 32 now).

This is my list. (Some cars may not be obvious, since they were Euro only).

From VW - Audi stable : 2 x VW Golf GTI 16v (mk2) 1 x VW Corrado VR6, 1 x Polo, 1 x Super Beetle, 1 x VW Golf GTI 16v (Mk3), 1 x VW Golf IV, 1 x Audi/Porsche RS2.
From Subaru : 1 x Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo.
From Porsche : 1 x 3.2 911.
From Saab Scania : 2 x 900 Turbo 16v, 1 x 9000 2.3 Turbo
From GM / Saab : 1 x 9-3 S, 1 x 900 2.3 SE
From GM / Opel / Vauxhall : 1 x Astra Wagon, 1 x Vectra
From Peugeot : 1 x 205 D, 1 x 205 GTI 1.9
From Mazda : 1 x 323
From MG : 1 x MG/F
From Volvo : 1 x 340
From Fiat / Alfa Romeo : 1 x 2.0 Turbo 6 GTV

There are four absolute stand-out cars.

The Audi/Porsche RS2
The 911
The VW Corrado VR6
The Saab 900 Turbo 16 S

I've not got a picture of my Corrado handy, but the others :

The Audi/Porsche RS2 (This was Audi's answer to the BMW E36 M3.. never sold in the USA, the shells and interiors were transported to Porsche, where Porsche built these on the old 959 production line. They received a Porsche build number, porsche brakes, porsche colour, porsche mirrors, porsche lights, Porsche designed bumpers, porsche wheels, porsche specified suspension, uprated exhaust system, porsche designed engine upgrades (including different intercooler, turbo, intake, intake manifold, exhaust cams, software etc,) Porsche ABS system etc etc). The RS2 has 315HP and 410NM as standard deployed through Audi's Quattro system. They were built from 1994 to 1996. Only 2200 of them were made and they were never exported to the USA.

Here is an old Performance Car review of the RS2 (4.8 0-60!) http://homepage.mac.com/markcanderson/RS2-PerfCar.PDF

My 911 is a honey :
