Despite the fact that your apparently a "Thread Making Machine", I'd have to say Lincoln Naviagator or Cadillac Escalade. Now if only I can afford to buy the petrol to run one of these.
mine is the gt40 mk III
Your dream american car was built in Slough, England ..

The previous Ford Focus. SVT version maybe.
A Cadillac Esclade- with a refined GM 6600 (6.6L) duramax diesel making 520ft/lbs of torque and 300bhp.
EDIT: 520ft/lbs at 1800rpm

My Dream would be the '96 Viper GTS.
My closest to reality one: '69 Camaro SS. I've been making some pretty good offers on a few in Texas, but I'm getting beat on the ones I'd really like.:mad:
Why the Camaro? Because of Werty.:D
250 GTO

The Saleen S7.

The Saleen S7.
at the risk of upsetting the apple cart.
The Saleen S7 was designed and engineered by Ray Mallock Limited.
The first produciton runs were completed at RMLs plant before moving the production to Ford.
RML are based in Wellingborough, Northants, UK :D
Another well-kept secret from the buying public !!!!
BUT Steve Saleen put up the money and the outline requirments, so I reckon it's fair to allow it into the "ultimate american car"

I rember when James May tested it in Top Gear, it was hilarious. And Clarkson said it was payback for you sending there cars like the Montego Diesel, next time better look what you are exporting...:D
