Name the cars you've driven and which turned the most heads
#41
Safety Car
1989 Plymouth Sundance
1995 Z28 4A (lady ran a red and totaled it, not a scratch on me or my passenger)
1994 Malibu conversion van with full size fold down bed, track lighting, TV, Nintendo, and all the goodies while waiting for an insurance settlement.
1998 Z28 M6, loved this car, sold it at 168, 000 miles and 600+ rwhp
1995 Dodge Neon
1996 Dodge Grand Caravan
2003 Acura 3.2 TL (still have, 127, 000 miles)
2007 Corvette.
Just the cars I've owned. The purple Lamborghini Diablo SE30 JOTA that I drove for a day in Florida broke a few necks, and one heart (Sorry Alyssa, maybe we'll meet again some day)
My 1998 Z28 drew the most attention so far due to its reputation, violent acceleration, noise, and longevity of ownership. I have a feeling my Yellow Corvette will easily surpass that. Hell I had about 150 drool-on-chin stares today alone, and it was 55 degrees. Sunny, but chilly.

84 GLC
85 GLC
85 Z28
95 Z28
00 Silverado
02 Silverado
10 Corvette Grand Sport
11 Corvette Grand Sport
Not necessarily in that order.
The 02 Silverado turns more heads than the Vette. Go figure.

Used Volvo
I used to drive a used volvo which I bought from a volvo dealer years ago. The car was metallic blue with customisation all over it, sadly I havent got any photos that I can post onto here but it was a real head turner. I think this website may have a few similar models/cars http://www.waterhousecars.co.uk/volvo/used-cars.html

1983 Ferrari 348 in red and flat black boxer combo. My girlfriend's Dad owned it when I was in high school and I would drive it on a regular basis. That car was state of the art badass at the time. In those days you would almost NEVER see an F car on the road.

My Porsche 911 Turbo (1987) drew a lot of attention.

I am only 30, but I am well over 40 cars owned. I will just list my top 5 attention grabbers.
5 - 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo - I gave this one the nod over a lot of cars that you would expect to get more attention. The other sports cars that I've had that this beat out included 2 C6s, 2 C5s, an 07 BMW M Roadster, an 03 Mustang Cobra Convertible, an 05 Boxster, and an 07 Saturn Sky Redline. First off I think this car gets a lot of attention because it looks quite a bit like an early 90's Ferrari. Next this one is quite loud (but in a good way) it has a rumble that defies the fact that it is a 4 cylinder car, not at all ricer, more of a muscle car sound.
4 - 2008 Porsche Boxster S LE - This was the bright orange model that only 250 of each (S and base) were made (the scarcest of all LE Boxsters, I'm guessing because orange isn't for everyone. I think that the paint is the primary reason that it got so much attention. I traded in a very nice looking 05 Midnight Blue Boxster on the 08, and the 08 got a ton more attention than the 05. I only got to enjoy this car for 15 months (had to trade it in for a Mazdaspeed Miata to afford being able to get married), but in that short time I put over 29k on it. Spots 2-4 were so tight that I could flip them around any way and probably be just as accurate.
3 - 2000 Dodge Viper GTS - I don't think there is much explanation needed for this one.
2 - 2004 Dodge Viper SRT-10 - Once again this is self explanatory. Just a note though, I did actually drive my Vipers. Weather permitting they were my daily drivers, and I put about 10k on each in around a year of ownership.
1 - 2005 Corvette - This is my 3rd C6 (and I have also had 2 C5's previously), and I have only driven it for 3 days, but it has vaulted to #1 already against some very tough competition, while the others that I have owned for much longer are nowhere to be found. You may ask how did it do that, but there is a simple explanation. It was painted pink when I picked it up from a dealer a few states over. For peace of mind it is already at my friend's body shop getting prepped for a Valencia Orange (used on some late model Mustangs) paint job. I actually barely drove it, for some reason I felt it best to let my wife, mother, and mother in law do most of the driving. I knew it would get a lot of attention, but I was surprised just how much, and even more surprised that it actually got a little bit of positive attention.

Hands down my Roman Red 61 Corvette. People wave, take pictures, follow you, ask numerous questions at gas stations. It's really hysterical. A friend of mine just bought a 61 fuelie. I warned him. He said the first 20 minutes he drove it he got more attention than he has in many years of driving newer Vettes.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I've owned too many to remember......
BUT, a couple of vehicles that turned the most heads were:
1931 Model A Vicky. New Vette crate motor, 9" rear, all digital dash, high tech custom interior, etc, etc. etc. Built from the ground up. This pic was taken before I redid it again. Shaved the door handles, side lights, bobbed the rear fenders and repainted (red) again.
Also, another huge head turner, was my Limited Production, 2004 Honda Rune bike. I had this at the same time as our GL1800 wing, and a '04 Vette. I should have kept this bike ! Made for 1 year .

My 99 WS6 Formula was quite rare and got a lot of attention as did my 06 XLR-V which most people had never seen, lol.
Corvettes, unfortunately, are a dime a dozen, so it doesn't get much attention.
