Default What is your all-time favourite car?
I ran a quick forum search and couldn't find a thread like this, mostly falcon favourites and so on, but no one like this.

I couldn't decide. So i have two.

The 1995 Ferrari F50:


1995 Ford GT90:

fantastic cars, but how could you possibly put rego plates on them. What would it be like in Coles Car park on thursday arvo, with all those trolleys mmmmmm.
Still it would be just awesome to sit it one, I sat in the red one at the Motor Show for a moment when I was working there for ford, before they ripped me out.

I'd have to say the Porsche GT3. After taking one for a few laps 'round Wakefield Park, i fell in love with it. The thing did try to kill me, but i still love it!!

Here is a pic of the car...

Yes i have. Very nice!! But the GT3 is an amazing car! They feel like a go-kart. The feed back through the wheel is like nothing else. Its a race car for the road. And i found out that you are better off finding out if it has semi-slicks on the front and Dunlop SP9000's on the rear BEFORE you try pushing the thing hard into a corner at 140+Km/h : :

Oops!

I'm into the 1977 Pontiac Transam (ala Smokey and the Bandit) with its 403 oldsmobile bigblock and its gold eagle on the bonnet.

Also (and i'm not brand loyal) the 1982 Pontiac Transam used as KITT on Knight Rider was not bad.

But the all time favourite?? A 426 Hemi 1969 Dodge Charger RT/SE in Hemi orange.

As much as I like the Datsun 120Y I would have to say my all time favourite would be the AMG E55.

Bugger the 403, go the 72' with a 455 superduty!

However, the RamAirIV's with the 403's were quick too.

Lamborghini Countach, and not the 25th Anniversary crap:


Lancia Stratos



Both cars are notoriously hard to drive and rumour has it, Prodrive and Ferrari are teaming up to remake the Stratos.
