The girlfriend of the guy who owns my employer had a Porche Boxster that I drove once.

My dream weekend car is an reconditioned Chevelle SS with a blown 427, and reworked supension. There is one parked on 56th St between 9th and 10th sometimes.

Nope... looks like a Carrera... but is different.
Ruf Porsche CTR 2 Would you simply like to go to the head of the class in what many consider to be the fastest road-legal production car in the country This Ruf-modified Porsche (pronounced roof; and, while we're at it, porsha) will be your ride. An ordinary, store-bought Porsche Carrera will do 174 mph on its 296-hp engine. Bavarian tuner Alois Ruf (who is technically considered by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be a manufacturer) adds another 300 hp to the engine with brutal twin turbochargers, wild cams, advanced ignition timing, and a variety of other internal tweaks, to create the entirely road-legal, emissions-qualified Ruf Porsche CTR 2 Sport, which has been clocked at over 217 mph.
There are race cars that will equal and exceed that number, but none that'll do it in as civilized and tractable a way as will a Ruf. "I'd drive it on the track at 190 all day long and then drive it home on the highway as though it was nothing special," marvels Los Angeles Ruf CTR 2 owner David Tunkl. "I'd had Ferraris, Porsche Turbos, and a Lamborghini Diablo, but the explosion of acceleration in a Ruf is something I never get used to. When the turbos kick in at around 3,000 rpm, it sounds like a Learjet behind you. You hear this incredible whistling and feel just like you're on a runway." The CTR 2 is based on the last-generation air-cooled Turbo, but Ruf is already working his wonders on the new water-cooled Porsche engine to create the CTR 3 Starting prices of $258,000 for a complete CTR 2, including customer paint and trim specifications, and $360,000 for a CTR 2 Sport. U.S. representative: Exclusive Motorcars Inc., 256 Park Street, Upper Montclair, NJ 07 043; 973-744-1932.

Of course a Fully race-tuned Audi RS8 netting over 1000 hp will eat it for breakfast and be able to turn... but.

I was looking at it, and thinking... that doesn't look right. Oh what the Hell, I can't spell... I'll post anyway.
