    Corvette. I hate big boats, especially the ones with fins. No matter how much power they have,if theyre ugly, it turns me off. Just like the Enzo, half the people only like it because its a ferrari,say if saturn made it,nobody would want it. But corvette for me out of those three.

    thats not true, that car can perform. if saturn made it then people would be like Wow, saturn made a supercar. of course there would be doubts on quality of that supercar, which is understandable as saturn isnt a proven supercar maker.

    I choose the '57 300-C. With its big and powerful engine it's capable of 145 mph.
    Unlike practically every modern car, the '57 Chrysler looks like a car, not a blob car or soap car. Massive front grille, plenty of chrome, stylish tail fins, etc.

    'course back THEN, Fleet, didnt' EVERY CAR have big fins and plenty of chrome and huge grills ?
    IT was the equivalent of "euro-box" today

    Yes, they did. Some had bigger fins and more chrome than others.

    I would choose the 57 Vette. The T-bird was more of a luxury GT than a sports or muscle car. And to be honest, don't know much about the Mopar. But I'm not a fan of cars with fins anyway.
