So, what do you think? I'll have to have some time to think before I make a decision.

Seriously...
1993 Porsche 968 Turbo S, 0-60 in 4.7 Seconds, top speed 180 mph

I'm going to go with the 993 Turbo. I haven't driven any of them, but I'd think it's the most competent all-rounder they've had. Maybe barely too fast, it seems to be the most characterful and last truly soulful 911 made. Nevermind those super ridiculous Yellow Birds, or the beefy 930s, which will just throw even the best driver into a wall backwards with the slightest thought of lifting with the wheels even marginally turned.
But on a good day, you can warm up to it safely, and once the tires are nice and grippy, you can go as fast as you want, and even have enough go left in it to relive those scary days if you're feeling particularly reckless.

Ohh theres a few. I'm not posting pics
You got the little known 2.8 RSR. It can easily be turned road legal, looks the same as a 2.7 RS but is faster and slightly wider and more involving to drive.
You got the 964 RS. Probably closest thing to the 997 RS for pure pedigree. Does away with turbos but also weight to create one of the most potent machines from Porsche.
You got the 993 GT2. I love the way this thing looks with those rivetted wheel arches.
You got the 997 GT3 RS. Pure
but...my favourite has to be the 996 GT1 Strassen Version that mPWRD mentioned. It is bad on roads, it DOES NOT have 700hp - only approx 525, but just look at the back of one and you'll be hooked. It's up there with my all time favourites.

My "ultimate" Porsche has already been posted - the Carrera GT. My favourite Porsche however would be along the lines of a classic 1960's 911, a 996 GT3 RS, or a Cayman S.
That said, the Stola GTS is quite impressive too...

HAH HAH, my sister owns a stupid riced bug eyed Impreza, she thinks it's the best looking one of them all.You guessed it, I don't like my sister or anything she does.
Woah, woah.... Really?
"Ugly" and "Unsuccessful" do not describe that car.
And, yes, Subarus have boxers so that isn't completely off topic.

+1. The only other one I would highly rank above is the 993 GT2, except it'll do exactly what exige said. Throw you into a wall.I'm going to go with the 993 Turbo. I haven't driven any of them, but I'd think it's the most competent all-rounder they've had. Maybe barely too fast, it seems to be the most characterful and last truly soulful 911 made.

His is actually a 993 as well, just based on the '97 model, or better known as a GT1 Evo. Those headlamps would then move onto the 996 version below.I see your ugly, hideous and egg-eyed 996 GT1 and raise this,
993 GT1
Atleast this has good old flat six producing the power instead of silly V10..
