See the Best British list, the GT40 was designed in UK

The Mustang 500 gets my vote as best looking, the Viper as best I've sat in.

i think the best american car made would have to be the 1991 ford festiva because in the manual it stated "warning: vehicle may be dented by strong winds" that just shows that ford makes sure they produce good quality vehicles.

Standerd procedure when being sarcastic is to include a smilie on both end sides. For example, with X being the sarcastic part: X . And if you're not being sarcastic... (shudder)

Dodge Viper, Mustang, Original GT40, Corvette, all represent American Motoring at its best. Its hard to say what is the best, all of them are greats.

Shelby GT500 1967

I think that the best american car ever made is Shelby GT500 1967. This car is more agressive than standart Mustang, it has very powerfull engine. But there were too much other beautiful cars like Corvette, Viper, Cobra, Camaro... I love them too.

Cobra Daytona Coupe

You all seem to forget one of the monsters of American history. The Cobra Daytona Coupe was the car to beat in the sixties. Granted its limited run of five race cars makes it a bit out of reach for the average car person, but they are street legal.

In the Mushmobile category the 1960 Cadillac convertible takes the cake. There's something to be said for a slow moving, indestructable, chunk of steel.

Chevrolet Corvette "Callaway" - SledgeHammer

When AMG made the "Worlds Fastest Sedan", based on the E-Series and called it "The Hammer"; a few months later the "Sledge-Hammer" above was released. http://www.callawaycars.com/Corvette...er_article.htm

898 horsepower; 6200 rpm in fifth Overdrive equals 254.76 mph!

Any arguments, re-read the article...

How's this for a Yank Tank, the 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille:


My grandfather used to have one. Overall length bumper-to-bumper is approximately 19.5 feet. You could have played a football game on the trunk lid and another one on the hood.
