Well I had a bunch, when I was about 7 one of my neighbors had a brand-new silver 1984 300ZX, I liked that a lot, and another of my neighbors had a brand-new black MkII Toyota Supra, it was probably an 83 or 84. I was in love with both of them. But overall if you were a kid growing up in the '80s there were two cars that were the baddest of all, and we would argue over which was better: The Ferrari Testarossa and the Lamborghini Countach. I preferred the Countach myself.

Great car. As much as I love the Vanquish I am disappointed because Aston didn't keep to the MASSIVE power and MASSIVE torque. The Vanquish struggles to do 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, the V600, despite the 2 tonne weight did it in just under 4 seconds.

Hard to say, I don't even remember. I have never been too much into the supercar thing even as a little kid, I always thought they looked too cartoonish (yes, they looked cartoonish to a 4 year old!). But I remember a few I always had a soft spot for. The '59 Cadillac and the '70 Chevelle stick out in my mind as cars that captivated me from an early age. I think the Ferrari 308 always got me too, and to this day remains the only Ferrari made in the 80's that I can even look at. Maybe that's cuz it was designed in the 70's. Also helps that my aunt owns one.

Ah, the Bolwell Nagari, Ferrari looks on a VW floorpan...

I always loved the C3 'Vette as a kid, but the Z3 got me into cars so BMW got my vote
