It's very difficult to put up just a list of the ten best cars, so I'll do it by different categories, as these cars are a different apporoach to different goals. And I'll try to get it down to just ten cars. This list is in no particular order.
Best allrounder: Porsche 997 Turbo A supercar far all seasons and all reasons; It can be driven fast on almost any road in any condition as well as get me comfortaby home after a long day at work, and I can also get a roof rack if I need to bring your skies with me on my skiing holiday. It's the perfect everyday car.
Best of the supercars: Dauer 962LM As far as supercars go this, for me is the pinnacle. It's based on the most successfull endurance racecar ever built and raced. Just the pedigree alone would have me sold on this, but there's so much more than that to it than that, It's got everything a supercar needs: Superb handling, a respectable top speed, quick accelleration and insane looks.
For the ultimate bang-for-buck I would have an Ultima GTR720. A lightweight, sorted, british chassis with a big american V8, what more can you possibly want for having fun?
For just a focused driving machine for trackdays and such i would have a fully hardcore kitted 997 GT3 RS. In orange with black decals and wheels.
For a proper classic I would have a low-drag E-type coupe, just look at it...
As a racecar I would like to have a Marcos LM600. I don't really have a reasonable explaination for this, but I've always liked the madness of it's looks, and it's raw simplicity, and the fact that it's tha cheapest way into a GT-series racecar.
For a just 'fun' sportscar to fool around in I would have either a TVR Sagaris or a Cerbera. The Sagaris is certainly the better handling, faster, more insane looking car, but the Cerbera has the fantastic AJP8 engine, and I can bring three of my mates with me in it. Anyway any of them would have to be British Racing Green...
Since I live on a farm I would need something to tow stuff on a trailer or go hunting and use as a family car and bring the dog in. So that will be the Range Rover Sport with the Supercharged V8.
For a tuning project to run on the Gatebil events and such I would get a 968 CS, from there I would turbocharge it and fit it with all sorts of racing bits, but make sure that it stays road legal and has a "roadcar stance" It will have to be yellow with possilby yellow or black wheels. And some body hugging Recaros inside.
Finally, last but not least for annother 'fun' sportscar I would have the Corvette Z06. This would be my choice when I want to drive something that is more lairy than the 997 Turbo, that is also everyday capable (in the summer at least) And on top of all that I can annoy both the eco mentalists and the anti-USA leftwing-commie-idiots with a 7-litre, 500 hp all american V8 sportscar. And of course it would have to be as anti-bling as possible, like this...

"Respectable Top Speed for the 962LM" Marcos? If you call 251mph respectable...

Not if I drive it...
Okay, that is perhaps (the) understatement of the century but... I've always liked the art of understatement...

Random order for my list.
You just have to have a muscle car so I'd go for the GT500, I mean just look at the thing.
Next for the best looking car ever made in my eyes. Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato.
For taking the family for a spin. Audi RS4
Another one for the family but anyway. Lotus Carlton.
Track day special, and why not have the crazy body kit. Ariel Atom 300.
For off-road fun. Bowler Wildcat.
If I fancy driving a Go-Kart. Original Mini Cooper S.
I don't know why really. Series 1 Landy.
My personal favourite supercar. Mclaren F1 GTR.
And you just have to. Bugatti Veyron

Well Peter3gh, i agree with almost all your list. I'd only switch the carlton with Ferrari 250TR, and the old landrover with bentley speed six or something like that. (on second thought i'd ditch the mustang too - switch with Brera). I'd have to stick the DB9 somewhere in there also. Oh and ....basically i agree with some of your list really.
On a side note - i think DB5 is prettier than DB4 (even zagato)...

Favorite Cars eh, some of them keep changing, but most of the list stays the same...
I really hesitate to put a new-ish car on the list, 'cause it will always get replaced. ei the S4, which would have been on my list a while back is gone, replaced with the new RS4! I try to keep the TRULY greatest cars on the top of the list, and I think i have.
10. Any version of the Impreza STI would be a happy addition to my dream garage

9. The original Lotus Esprit Turbo
8. 1975 911 Turbo (The Whale Tail)
7. E39 M5 Big V8 power up front, drive wheels in the back, manual trans in the middle and 4 doors. What more can you want?
6. F575
5. Ferrari 166 Barchetta (God, just look at it. Hand rolled alluminum body! F'n georgous.)
4. Mk1 GTI (J. Clarkson "...greatest car, of the 20th century.")
3. The E-Type ( Nothing needs to be added!!! )
2. Orignial M3 (E30) (Some say, that this is still the best of the M cars to drive)
1. Original Mini Cooper (Greatest Car of all time!!!)
