The '06 Z06 was pretty badass. For something that I actually might own someday, sign me up. In terms of something that "money is no object", no vette makes MY personal top 10.Quote:
Wow, i cant believe it took me a few pages to see a Vette. Thats my #1 right there.

Might be the only car that you could put in front of that horrid backdrop and make work.

But nor does it seem a later Hispano Suiza, either....but I'm. presuming something exceedingly rare like that.
Whatever it is, it defines an age when "autos" weren't just transport but grand tapestries upon which the designer applies his art.
I do believe that black 67 or 68 Camaro above looks pretty damn bad ass!!! I've always liked the older late sixties Camaros over the next body style...even over the mythic. '70 1/2 Z-28. Just like I prefer the 1968 Mustang-like Cougar over the too-large Cougars of the early 70s.
'30's Talbot Lago - MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm do want:) There's just something about the cars from the 1930's, the way the designers intent comes through visually is so appealing and there's usually so much to look at and appreciate as well as the (usually) simple mechanicals of the cars that makes them so desirable to me.
Boy I just don't know what would be the ultimate dream car. I watch Mecum and Barrett Jackson auctions and as a car comes up on the block I'm all gung ho and want it so much but then the next car comes up and the process starts all over again.
Off to get some $200 million powerball tickets...
Does that come with free hair plugs and a bowling shirt?Quote:

AKRover- that Camaro is a '69. The '69s have the sculpted accents that flow from the wheelwells - the '67 & '68 didn't.
I'm partial to the '70-'73 models like the silver one posted. Probably because that's what I grew up with (I have a Firebird -the Camaro's brother - like the one I posted a picture of) and the '70 models had a lot of significant mechanical improvements that make them an all around better performing platform than the '67 - '69 models.
Isn't that more like 'Dumbness meets speed'? Who knows, they could have had professional stuntmen shaping that jump and landing......but it looked more like pure luck. That (truck could have easily hooked its bumper and landed on its windshield.Pretty wild jump for a bunch of mudders, though.Quote:

As far as vettes go, only one really does it for me....the 1963 split-window. That one and no other, although I wouldn't turn down a '66. Anyone know why in hell they only made the split-window one year?

I think it had to do with the inability to see out of the rear window.
I thought lambo's came w/ a 22 yr old middle-east kid...Quote:
