Like the original challenger, probably more than the charger.

Also like the new one

Also the cougar

This has been mentioned too:


A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Jaguar XK-SS. Barring the mini and Porsche 550 Spyder this is pretty much the only pre-70's road car I like.



Closely followed by the 550 Spyder.



As for the Gurney, sorry, you can keep that, Id rather have the Lotus 49 (or 49B):

Nah, the BRM's were so overengineered and overthought that they never worked half as well as they should have done and were too large and heavy compared to the Lotus and Eagle.

Stillborn race-car - the Jaguar XJ13. Quad-cam V12 gorgeousness.  :drool:



...and for the completely bonkers, the Amercian-built Vector W8 Twin-Turbo. Ridiculously powerful, aircraft technology but it was hopelessly unreliable and never lived up to the makers claims. However, look at it!! It's 80s car porn!  :laugh:



And for some early 90s nuttiness, the Cizeta-Moroder V16T - designed by the same Marcello Gandini that worked for Lamborghini. It had a transverse V16 engine (actually two V8s joined together). They only made 11...





Keeping schtum. Mostly.

On Tuesday JV went fishing, on Friday he caught one!   :grin: :grin:

'someone' indeed. The mild effort I went to getting a pic at the same angle too.

It was such a good effort, that I genuinely believed that you thought it was a GTO



















NOT :grin: :grin:
