My dad had one of those. He smashed it up pretty bad. I'll see if I can find the old pictures of it.

Mine's gotta be a skyline of some sorts or one of the team rally cars from Subaru.

I've always wanted an Aston Martin, so that is pretty high on my list:


I've also always wanted a Shelby Cobra (one of the reasons why I bought a Mustang Cobra), however I wouldn't want it in 427. I would get it in 327, 302, or supercharged 289 to make sure it handles well.

jdu,
If you really want to go for the gold go with a 1968 Plymouth S/S Barracuda with the 426 Hemi. It will do the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds. To this day it still owns the drag strip for factory produced cars. Good luck finding one though, only 70 were ever made.

But the Superbird has one thing that other muscle cars don't, good handling. That huge fin coupled with the drop front created alot of down force. They actually had to increase the height of the inner wheel wells, because with th stock wheel wells, the wheels would rub the top at high speeds! But the production numbers for the Superbird are pretty low, I'll probably shoot for a Roadrunner, those are more numerous.

E-99,
Sure it doesn't have the L71 or L72 427? In 1968 was the L71/72 and in '69 was the L88. Either way a '68 with an L71 or L72 is a faster car then a '69 with an L88.

I would have to say an Aston Martin Vanquish V12.


And also, it would be nice to have a Lamborghini Diablo.




And I guess it would be alright, maybe, to have a Mclaren.





and Porshes are nice.

Now, before I'm E-Owned for choosing the car from The Fast and the Furious.. Let me defent myself by saying that TFatF RUINED every car in it...
Ruined meaning that now every dickhead who sees TFatF thinks they know the **** about cars, and that every car in that movie are TEH BEZT CARZ OMGGROFLOMGING IN DA WERLD!!11211!~`111TABTABTAB!!!!

I chose the charger for a few simple reason..
1- It's sexy.
2- I'm a sucker for Blowers.

However, since I have no clue what's under THAT one's hood, I wouldn't pick that exact one.. And if I did, I'd definitly spend quite a few Weekends in the driveway 'tinkering' and installing new parts, if ya' know what I mean .


My dream Truck, however is a Dodge Ram Hemi with a Manual Tranny, Blower (), 5 inch Lift from Stock, Roll bar of course, Sexy custom exhaust, the list goes on.
Although installing a blower on a Hemi= teh unsureness..
I still don't know if it's possibly, although what Dooms showed me helped the credibility along quite a bit.
