And blast from the past bringing up the 80s and 90s favorite car collector, Sultan of Brunei owned somewhere around 50% of production. Claimed 5, claimed to build I've seen 10-15 including 3 race chassis

There's a guy in HSR that runs one of the scale reproductions of it with a bike engine, much cheaper than a real one

My favorite sportscar race cars from the 1990s: Nissan 300 ZX (1994 Daytona, Sebring winner), Panoz GTR1, Porsche GT1 (96-97 version), McLaren (1995 Le Mans winner).

Favorites from 2000s: Corvette C5R, Corvette C6R, Oreca Dodge Viper (red/white stripes), Porsche 911 RSR (think Racers group 2003, AJR, Flying Lizard cars), Saleen S7

The McLaren in Gulf colours certainly was hard to beat. Also liked the white Porsche with little bits of red and blue added in. Had a model of that once
