Below that? Jag XJ220s, RX-7s, NSX, later vipers. C6 corvettes, 300ZXs, 90s Skyline GTRs.

Yeah Lambos. Id definitely push a new aventador roadster and diablo roadster. as far as Ferraris a 575 superamerica. ws6 transam and 3rd gen trans am are honorable mentions

Philsphan 03-02-2014 07:41 PM

Also another one I really like is basically any sl600, sl63amg or sl65 amg from like 2003 and up.. A v-12 twin turbo just sounds ridiculous I mean an amg sl any of have torque for days

I've always liked to go off the beaten path, so with that being said, I have always liked the AMX/Javelin platforms. My father had a 68 AMX with a 390 and four speed combo that would run like a scalded dog. :cool: Beyond that, I also like the Boss 302 Mustangs. None will replace my 94 six speed coupe, though.

94flavette 03-02-2014 08:18 PM

Sports/Muscle Cars
'95 ZR-1,
'92 350 Z28,
'93 Fox Body Cobra,
'87 Buick Grand National,
First Gen Viper,
'96 Camaro SLP/SS with the true Ram Air hood,
'97 LT4 Heritage Edition Camaro SS (rare)

'Muscle' Sedans
'96 Impy (either of the three colors and with original rims) with the floor shifter - "Lord Vader, your car is ready."
Mid-2000's Mercury Marauder
94-96 9C1 Caprice (not for looks)

And finally,
C7 Stingray

3JsVette 03-02-2014 08:37 PM

A Mongoose Grand Sport Replica (light and as fast as your wallet will allow)
A C7 Z06
and just to look at (because who can afford to maintain it?) an Enzo.
The daily driver could be a Caddy CTSV wagon.

1966 GTO convertible, green, black top. Great car.

larryinalabama 03-02-2014 09:03 PM

I had a 79 trans Am 403 Olds, Somkey and the Bandit, I missed that car, it would go as fast as you were willing to go, I never forum out what it would top out out, but it would cruse with little effort 110, and beg you to go faster. Probably the only fast car that I liked better the the 90 vette.

I also like old Cadillacs, I currently have a 79 Coupe 425, and a 90 Brougham with a 350 tbi stock chevy motor. Both run strong for being untampered with, and have a lot nice ride then the vette.

Is this a list of any/every car we have ever THOUGHT of? Or cars we'd actually have or had that we love?

Bandit Trans Am is another; 400, 4-speed.

C-4 Now 03-02-2014 09:18 PM

Always 2 categories for me. Those that I could probably never afford like Ferrari GTO, 64-65 289 Cobra, 65 Shelby Mustang-R, to the maybe right deal possible 65 Stingray FI Coupe, Porsche 914-6, 2015 Corvette Z-06. Many others but these seem to stay at the top over the years. Don't even want to complicate with possible resto-mod cars.:willy:

It can go either way I started out with the 5 id have if money allowed
1.c4- already do lol
2.87-90 iroc or 91 z28- Dad had a blue 91 z28 with the 350 loved that car was the family car due to me being only child.
3.Ferrari Testarossa-512TR- Self explanatory this car is the 80s superstar car basically a c4 on crack.
4.Acura NSX- Japans attempt at a sports/exotic car. Really reminds me of a c4-testarossa hybrid but a sports car you could drive everyday with Honda reliability.
5. 1st gen Dodge Viper- These cars are just really raw and badass great aggressive sports car look I really like the new ones too.
6.85-89 Porsche 911 or 911 turbo- Also just an aggressive looking loud mean car and oh it must have a whale tail like they had. Makes it look that much more obnoxious.
Honorable mentions: Countach, diablo roadster, aventador roadster, 911 GT3, 575 Superamerica. Any Sl AMG from 03-present

ch@0s 03-02-2014 09:35 PM

There are way too many car I love.. On the top of the list are Pantera, and Viper GTS. I will probably some day build an FFR Cobra or 65 Coupe.

It's not everyday that one hears a '79 403 Trans Am called a "fast car". Lots of torque though. Faster & quicker than a 1979 Vette too.
I'm guessing that you must have been estimating your speed..........since the speedometer ended at 100, but just keeps moving unto unmarked areas. :)
Sorry, couldn't pass all that up.

Giamanut 03-02-2014 10:10 PM

I had a 69 charger r/t with a 440 magnum I would love to have back. I now have a 06 charger Daytona that I really love. but a new (specialty) mustang would be nice.

red86silver78 03-03-2014 02:06 AM

The vehicles i lust after besides c4's Buick GNX, Grand Nationals, GMC Typhoons and Scyclones I would take any of those vehicles over a new c7. Must have something to do with when I was born 1981
