Jeff-7 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Sweet Necro' My family have always been car fanatics, 30's Roadsters, Model A's and T's etc. Grandfather has a '58 'vette convertible (white with red alcoves, it was Grandma's car she passed away 2 years ago from ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease)), my uncles are Chevelle SS fans, they all have at least 1 from '69-'72. I loved my '93 RX7 but as a college kid I couldn't afford to maintain it and sold it to a guy in Topeka, that thing was stupid fast and light in the rear end. My Great Uncle who lives in Tulsa has a '67 Shelby GT350, unfortunately not a gt500 but I still like it (looks like the pic below), it just sits in his garage collecting dust.

BT Bob Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thread from the crypt! I've said it before but I'll say it again anyhow. I'd like one of these, please. P. Oh, Lord - is that a Dino? Gorgeous. Alongside that, I'd run with an E-Type Jaguar (convertible, obviously). As for current manufacture? Well, there's only one, really, isn't there? The Alfa Brera by a country mile.

DAS44 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Very fortunate to be the joint proud owner if this Replica 427.. Regards [drool] [drool] Once when I was in Florida (the only time I've been to a state not Bordering MA), I saw a Lamborghini getting chased by a cop... does that count? I couldn't place it as the prettiest. Ooh, once got to see a 1969 Corvette, it was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 A 1963 Corvette Sting Ray (split window fastback). +1. Classic design. Still looks fast at curbside almost 50 years later. Was always a dream car, but I like the one I have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Very cool. Is that "street legal"? (I'm thinking California reg's etc.) I've driven something similar in some endurance races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FarnsBarns Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Very cool. Is that "street legal"? (I'm thinking California reg's etc.) I've driven something similar in some endurance races . It is indeed legal in California. It will also do over 200mph, holds the production car world record for 0-100-0 (9.4s), and the record for lateral grip (1.6 lateral G), Lapped the Top Gear track quuker than a Bugatti Veyron. Has air-con. And is under £50,000, but you have to build it. Not legaly a kit car in the UK as there is no donor car, every part is custom made. http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/Content.aspx?f=gtrintro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah the Next Gen. Well the next generation has yet to be officially released and the body style may change a bit. That one in the picture is a prototype. SSC is building it to beat the Bugatti Veyron in a race. They're shooting for a top speed of at least 280 mph. And I understand how you could think it's ugly seeing as how its all futuristic. I think it looks sleek, smooth, and sexy but that's my opinion.

bonzoboy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think that the most beautiful car ever made was the '34-'36 Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton,beauty and elegance at its best.MY runners up would be the '62-'64 Ferrari 250 GTO and the 246 Dino Pininfarina,which not technically a Ferrari was in fact built by parent company Fiat but always listed as a Ferrari.The 6 cylinder Dino shared its engine and some of its running gear with the Lancia Stratos which also gets a vote from me as most beautiful-even though most think that it's butt ugly.
