Favorite Car of all time?


Recommended Posts

My favorite car of all time is definitely the Bugatti Veyron. Absolutely amazing, powerful, car. THE fastest car in production right now. It goes up to 252mph and has over 1,000hp. This is because of the 16 (!!!) cylinder engine. Love this car. Whats your favorite?

nah, it got bummped by the new SSC Ultimate Aero TT @ 257 with a theoretical 273 top end. a few more horses than the Veyron (1062)

The Veyron also had a W18 version (EB 18/4)

It's so hard to say.

Porsche 934, 962, 917 are right up there.

Carrera GT

The 550 RS Spyder one of the sexiest cars ever built.

500K Merc one of the most bueatiful

Ferrari 250 series

Pangini Zonda it's just bad a55

67 Mustang fast back

The brutal Cobra SC

There are so many.

Favorite current exotic: Currently the Ferrari Enzo FXX, butI have always been a Lambo Fan.

Favorite old School exotic: Lambo Muria or a Ferrari 250 GTO

Favorite Big Car: 59 Caddy Eldo drop top.

Favorite Chevy Muscle: 70 LS-6 SS Chevelle (every body usually says Camaro)

Favorite Ford Muscle: 69 Mustang Mach 1 w/428

and the list goes on and on and.........

A '34 Ford. Chopped 6", channeled frame deep, no hood, no fenders. Vintage OHV V8, six carbs (actually disguised fuel injection), Limefire headers, late 5 spd trans. Maybe Torque Thrust IIs, maybe contrasting solids with trim rings and baby moons on wide white cheaters.

All, yes all American passenger cars where the manufacturer is BASED in the United States! In other words, Chrysler Corporation prior to Daimler's take over, General Motors, and Ford Motor Company. Specific vehicles, my top 10 are:

1. 1968 Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite/Road Runner/GTX

2. 1965 Plymouth Fury's

3. 1968 Dodge Charger and R/T

4. 1957 Chrysler New Yorker & 300-C

5. 1962-64 Ford Fairlane

6. 1968-70 AMC Javelin and AMX

7. 1961-1966 Oldsmobile Starfire

8. 1968 Chrysler, all series

9. 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti

10. 1963-67 Corvette Stingray

But who really cares? This list and information sure isn't going to help me or anyone else "build better model cars"! :lol: Fury3

69 Charger R/T 440 4spd.

69 Superbee 440 Auto.

69 Camaro SS.

69 Nova SS.

95 Impala SS

These are MY favorite cars, because I've been privliged to actually own them. I don't daydream about cars I CAN'T afford, no matter how cool they are. I'm a realist and if I can't afford it, I don't even consider it. These cars I mentioned were FAST, Beautiful, and MINE!!!! My Daughter owns the Camaro now,I still own the Impala, but I'll NEVER forget my Charger, my FAVORITE of the bunch!!! :lol:

How about the Studebaker GT Hawk?

As for more recent cars, I'm fond of the Bristol Fighter:

Of course, there's a lot of good to what Jairus said!! My '99 Maxima has almost 200,000 miles on it and still starts every time and drives great. Bought it new and it's been bulletproof!

For sentiment, my first car - a '63 Buick Riviera in silver with blue interior.

For fantasy purposes:

Bugatti T57SC Atlantic

Lambo Miura

Phantom Corsair

1910-12 Olds Limited 600 CID six cylinder, 43 inch wheels. It's a road locomotive. That's why they named it after a train!

1907-09 American Underslung Traveler This was the Veyron of it's day.

Well we can dream can't we! Wait, it said favorite car of all time - not the one we can actually own!

My list of favorites includes probably every one listed so far. But my REAL favorite is always the car I'm currently driving .. at least until it's getting time to trade in for another "favorite"!!

Currently it's a 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe .. manual, of course ... and Black as night.
