Drifting
That boattail Riviera is 
that's the only car I like out of the lineup though. Then again, its the only car that I actually remember out of that list cause I've seen it before. I'll agree though, I like sedans but most of them today all have a sort of similar look. Nothing really ever sets them apart, looks or features-wise.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
If I could, I'd love to have an old Charger / Challenger, but with modern brakes, steering, and suspension. That would be alright. There's a company in Canada that does this, resto-mod is the process but I forgot the name of the company.

I've worked on a few cars that company did (name is eluding me, too). They're pretty sweet. They're still giant cars, but having a 6 speed transmission, disc brakes, and power steering helps a lot.
Here is one of them http://gtaindetail.com/pics/chevelle082208/images/u.jpg
Still carbureted, 572.

I don't think I would want to drive them with some of the "original" equipment in them (brakes, steering, suspension), but the bodies are really the story. Hell, someone posted here (or somewhere) that a Honda Odyssey was a better handling vehicle than a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, and was quicker. I digress.

I think the cars of the 70's and 80's were really nice. The 50's was a lil strange looking for cars. Some of them are nice, and would be cool to have restored but I think car designs are much better today.
