    Default Favourite car of all time

    Ok! So we have "Automotive Porn" thread which is awesome. And there are so many cool cars in there.

    Recon it would be awesome if people posted up a picture, or a few pictures of their Favourite car of all time. And if you want you can even give us some specs, and some reasons why it's your favourite. Feel free to comment on someone's choice of car. Just remember it is their opinion and doesn't have to line up perfectly with you're opinion.

    This is the one car (Wether a production car, or a modified car) that you could own for the rest of your life. The one car that if given the chance, you would pick to own over all else! And let us know if you would do any modifications too it!

    Aaaannndd... GO!

    CH Chrysler by Chrysler. Possibly the sexiest Valiant ever.
    Would get the sedan, ditch some of the chrome on the top, matte black vynal on the top, drop it, paint it deep deep deep Candy Apple Red. Option with the 265CI Straight 6 Hemi. Go old school with a Torque flight single rail 4 on the floor, Triple webber carbie, pacey extractors running into 2.5" exhaust. Wouldn't super or turbo charge, just have the mean grunt of 3.9" pistons pumping noise into the exhaust.. Would probably have the exhaust split at the end and dump down. Fit the interior with all black leather, and go F***ing ape on the sound system. Boot space is that would use flexi paint and use the sides of the boot as woofer boxes. Rims would be old school.. Maybe 9"ers, matte black... Set in like the old Nascar rims... That's not a very good description but 'I' know what I'm trying to say :P

    Thhhhats about it.. My Favourite car of all time. So damn sexy, and when its pumping out Trace Adkins... So damn red neck

    have to agree with troy those cars are terrible great driveline but thats about

    Have to say my favourite cars are one aussie car and one ford.

    Bolwell Nagari Fastest australian built car at its time Basically ran a GTHO driveline in a fibreglass body Looks inspired by the Ferrari Dino and Lambo Muira

    And the Ford GT The best looking modern muscle car ever obviously inspired on the original Ford GT40 but defenitely the 2 cars id buy if i had the money

    Well... Good taste if hes under 5 FT... Because if he wants to fit inside without chopping his head off, hes probably going to have to be smaller then that

    Yea, because we all know the first criteria of someones favourite car is practicality they actually put a bubble in the roof after a year of racing the originals, so the drivers didn't have to tilt their heads to fit lol. Essentially it became a GT43 instead of a GT40.

    Caterham Levante



    2.4-litre aluminium V8, 40 valves, with a Rotrex supercharger, total 90kg and produces 405kw / 542 hp @ 10,000 rpm. 406nm / 299 lb. ft torque


    Rear wheel drive, sequential 6 speed, paddle shift.

    Entire car weighs 520kg.Thats 1074bhp per ton, about double the power to weight ratio of a Veyron..
    0-100 in less than 3 seconds.
    It will outcorner and outbrake a motorbike .. a youtube of it here shows its little brother the R500 (with only half the horsepower of the Levante) dusting a Ducati through twisty hills..


    Its a two seater, so I dont have to worry about the kids lol



    It has no roof or windscreen, wearing a helmet might be more comfortable..
    Only 8 were built, they sold for nearly 200k, if you could pick one up now for half a million its probably a good buy .
