What's your favorite supercar/sportscar, past or present?

[jeepchipjones]

I am a fan of almost all supercars, but here are my favorites:

Ferrari Enzo (2004 - 2006)
- use of the new F1 technology, sleek styling, crazy quick handling

Porsche Carrera GT (2003 - 2006)
- sexy, fast, and just all around great
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXcOpRS6dt8

Saleen S7 Turbo (2005 - date)
- looks like a supercar, fast, and sleek

Bugatti Veyron (2005 - date)
- highest speed, big powerplant, but it needs 8 mile straightaway to obtain top speed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hEZc4JMMsk

Koenigsegg CCX (2006 - date)
- decent handling, quick, high top speed, tons of hp, and looks great

My favorite semi-supercars are:

BMW M6
- looks great, suitable hp, handles ok, luxury coupled with performance, but a little heavy

Audi R8
- looks great, quick, handles superbly (AWD, but never more than 30% to the front), good hp, but has a problem catching fire apparently

Porsche 911 GT2
- looks good, light, quick, and handles good

69 427 Yenko Camaro

Split window all black big block Vette same vintage with a 4 speed and completely original would be the S'awesome as well.

Hell any classic big block chevy muscle car is beautiful to me. I love old american muscle cars.

I really want to build a ratrod style car with my old mans 383 for powerplant. Ive been watching back yards for 30 or 40 sheetmetal to base it off of.

Ive always had a crush on Wyatts truck since way before he bought it as well... I loved it when it was step side and white too

 

[CRANK1]

I agree with P the 67-69 Camaro is definitely #1, i might throw in a big ass 69 charger, and you have to love the trans am in smokey in the bandit
P if you are a big fan of rat rods (i am too) they have alot of the tubs and frames hoods etc on craigslist in our area quite a bit

 

[6uldv8]

Damn P...you stole my list!

 

[vanguard]

Porsche 959
Old Mustang
F40
Ford GT

Any LeCar, 3 lug nuts please, no need for a 4th, adds weight and reduces handling.

 

[InDaShop]

`55 Porsche Speedster

Stu Hilborns Streamliner drool Still in hiding. When this thing finally does surface, I bet it brings +$5million.

Or the '57 Bugatti

For modern cars, the Bugatti Veyron

In Gardendale on Odum rd there is on that sits off the road about 20 ft in an old pole barn. it looks to be a early 30 model 3 or 5 window ford coupe. if you enter Odum rd at the auto body shop it's on the left right past the first rd on the left.

 

[BamaTJ]

I believe the years are early to mid-50's (53-55). But the Corvette Stingrays from those year are my favorites. One sold on the Barrett Jackson auction for 1.6m

Get picture let me know! Odds are the old coot that owns it, loves the inquires he gets and will never sell. Then when he kicks the bucket his kids will have it crushed.
I have gone on so many DAMN wild goosechases, to end with the old guy happier than **** to show you the car. He's kickin' chickens off of it, and this and that, and telling you about his 1st date in that car with his wife of 60 years who passed in '85, etc, etc. Only to get to the part of "How much you asking?" and I could play a tape back on this one "Sell? Its not for sale, I'm going to fix it up"
I know of two that the fellas have kicked it shortly after and I've raced to cut a deal with one of the kids and the kids have already had the vehicle crushed. I want to beat them!

 

[Opossum]

actually have no clue who owns it, the way the property lays i think it's the guy on the hill but unsure. Anybody that wants to look at it you have to kinds drive by slow b/c of the trees hiding it at the road. I just happen to notice it the day a couple of guys were down there clearing out the shed.

 

[P]

God that streamliner is sexy Wyatt... . drool Unreal , whats the story on it please sir


If I were filthy rich... Id probably by a Ferrari a 348 or Modena or something of that sort, but everything else would be 'Merican badass 8)

 

[InDaShop]

**** cars prolly gone then. Go check. **** if its there in April, I'll buy that ****er and haul it home with me depending on what it is, and how much they want.

I'm looking for '28-29 Ford Roadster, '30-31 Ford A coupe(has 5 windows), '32 Ford anything, '33-34 Ford 5 window coupe


Stu Hilborn streamliner, famous car built by Hilborn at the infancy of his Injector business. Car vanished at somepoint. SHowed up at drag nationals in the '50s in Great Bend, kansas, then vanished again. Word is its in a barn near Tulsa, and isn't coming out, and will never be brought out for the public. There has been a recreation of it touring for about a year.

 

[Bones]

Man Wyatt, there are some cool stories in that hobby. I bet some of those old timers would tell some **** from back in the days.

 

[P]

I really like OLD vintage race motorcycles... I have a beautiful black and white Paul Smart Ducati poster that I want to frame professionally before its displayed publically laughing1

Paul Smart back in the day.... Leathers helmet and some go fast goggles on tiny tires... those doods were badass's
