Which is Your Favorite Car ever and why?

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Jaguar XJ-13 as in my opinion it's the most beautiful car that jaguar has ever designed and I have had the privalage of seeing her, touching her and hearing her run, plus she was being driven by Norman Dewis at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2000... Sweeeeet!!!

the car I would most like to own is the Jaguar XJ-13 because it's the most beautifull car ever to be designed by Jaguar plus I have had the privalage of seeing her, touching her and hearing her run. Plus it was being driven by Norman Dewis at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2000... Damn what a beautiful car... Sweeeeet!!!!

My favorite has to be the McLaren F1 in either the road or LM guise. The GTR (Longtail) never did it for me.

Of more modern cars I'd take the Koenigsegg CCR, the closest to the design ideals of Gordon Murray, only it needs a supercharger to beat the 10 year old car.

The C6 is available this fall. 0-60 in 4.1 for about the same price and less weight.

Wait for the C6 Z06 in 2005. 500 HP/500 pounds torque with a curb weight of 2800.

The BEST SPORTS CAR DEAL IN THE WORLD!

Havent heard of any problems in either Australia or the US in the LS1. I often see some pretty high milage LS1 still being raced and no problems at all.

All LS1s are known as "gen 3 small blocks."

My fav is the Holden VYII Calais 5.7lt LS1 235KW.

Inside leather every electric you want plus more, Plenty of options the works, Outside its mean, It's got 17" Rims full body kit, FE1.5 Sports suspenion lowerd, It's a car that has the best of both worlds, Luxury inside sporty outside, And is a very good handling car with some good power, I just love it

I have just seen my most beautiful car ever it would have to be the Aston DB9R

**jcp123** · 09-19-2004, 05:52 PM

as far as i know, th GenIII's have piston slap and oil consumption issues...

Anyway, my fav car is the Cadillac Series 60 Special Fleetwood. Big, flashy yet classy, comfortable, has all the creature comforts you really need, and will probably tow an Airstream if I ever get around to buying and restoring one. Black paint, tuck + roll interior, Smithy's pipes, a gently massaged engine and a TH400 to back it up, and a CB radio and I'm set to see the USA.

If it has to be sporty, '69 Plymouth GT/X convertible. I'll take mine in 440/6-pack and 4-speed flavor, thank you.

Well my favourite would have to be Enzo Ferrari's Masterpeice the 1962 250 GTO. Styled by Bizzarrini it was an amazing car. It has a 3L V12 producing about 300bhp, which was also found in the 250 Testarossa. The top speed of the 250 GTO was 280kmh, which was very good at the time. The 250 GTO is the best Ferrari of all time, it won at Le Mans and it sure made Enzo Ferrari proud. To me it and the 288 GTO are the most beautiful Ferraris of all time. What a great car.

Forza Ferrari
