'67-'68 Mustang GT fastback

Aston Martin DBS V8, pre-72, and Vantage V8 through about 1988 (they look like a bigger '67-69 Mustang fastback/sportsroof )

I'm going to agree with those who said Dodge Viper and Porsche 911.

Lamborghini Diablo GT:


Ferrari Testarossa (in red!):


OK, so it hasn't been around for years, but the new Challenger - every time I see this car, which isn't often, I almost get myself in an accident cause I can't look away.

There was a guy in my neighborhood (80's, go figure) that had one with a 440, and blue vinyl interior. I could have bought it for $10,000. Of course, there is no way I would have that money.

My buddy had a 69 Charger that looked like this (bumblebee stripe, but no R/T):



This was a fun car...

I've liked the IROCs a lot too and also the 3G Firebirds.... probably had something to do with Knight Rider. I wanted a black one with the black UFO wheels just like KITT

Also the first time I saw a 93 Camaro, it was a white RS, RS meaning it was a V6 with a body kit but I didn't know or care.

The first time I played Need for Speed or NFS 2 or something when I played using the turbo Esprit didn't know a turbo was or what it did but it still sounded cool.

I rented a book from the school library in 4th or 5th grade and saw a silver NSX and how it was hand-made and was made out of aluminum.... awesome

The Testarossa... nuff said

R32/R34 GTR
E39 M5

AW11/SW20 MR2
