Perhaps the best sedan ever made:

Lotus Carlton/Omega

I'm going to pick some underappreciated underdogs for my fave non-Subaru cars:

E30 318is. It's not that powerful, but it handles awesome, looks great, and is still as much fun as the best of any BMW's:

The only Volkswagen I can say that I like, the Corrado. It's the best-looking VW IMO, and it is one of the finest handling FWD cars ever.

Ever since I came real close to getting one, I have always wanted a 91 Sentra SE-R. They are one of the first (and one of the best IMO) Japanese hot compacts to ever come to the US.

Do all the Honda bashing you want, everyone knows this is still an awesome car. The S2000:

Oh yeah, even though I've only driven one in Gran Turismo, I really really like the Mazda 323F or Lantis:

I don't care if it's not considered a true Porsche, I want one. Bad. 944 Turbo:

Others:
Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest
Infiniti G20
Suzuki Swift 1.3 GTi
Mazda 626/MX6 Turbo

a few more of my favorites
KP61 starlet, ~1700 lbs stock and rwd

If you dont like 323 gtx's you probably smoke crack.

straight axle toyotas, ever since my friend took me wheeling in his 83 shortbed I've kinda had a thing for em

VW type 3's, love all of em, notchbacks the best of course

Ferrari F50 is pure sex.

91White-T · Post by **91White-T** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 1:55 pm

I forgot a few:
First off picture of turbo buick

GMC Syclone /Typhoon. Syclone was fastest truck in the world for a long time(I think the SRT10 is faster now)

Anyone else think 4 door Skylines are hot?

Thats it for now, I'll probably think of a lot more later

Now this is a fun car. My dad's had the 1275cc engine with supercharger. He had two, actually, one in the late 60's and another he sold last year.

My mom simply refused to ride in this car...that's how you know its your most-fun car.

oh ya, almost forgot.

97 993 Turbo S

worth as much now, as they were new.

those grand nationals are sooo sweet. in fact there is one for sale down the street from me, but has been for several months.
Sy/Ty are sweet too, as far as them not being the fastest truck anymore, they still have the most potential and cool factor. I'd take a syclone plus mod $ over a srt-10 any day.

those things are super cool.

No, that's a great idea though. It'd be fun to build my own.
If it's between any preassembled sans engine/trans I would pick this

OMG, that's a sweet notchback! I wanted a notchback soooooo bad back in HS. All my friends had bugs, buses, squarebacks, fastbacks and Gia's. Not one notchback. That was my dream car, still is in many ways. I've only ever seen two in real life though. I think they got a lot more of them up in Canada then we got in the states.

entirelyturbo · Post by **entirelyturbo** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 5:51 am

The reason for the rarity of Notchbacks in the US, Matt, is because they were never officially imported here

I've seen one Notchback here locally, restored beautifully, and I believe that car came from Germany.

THAWA · Post by **THAWA** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 5:14 am

Well I knew I could see it because it's in my cache, but I didn't know if there was something else wrong with it. I'll quasi-mod-o you!

All Air Cooled VW's

Porsche 924/944 Turbo

Audi Quattros

Datsun 510 (My bro has a 2 door, drives awesome)

Mercedes Diesels

AMG Hammer

E55 AMG

BMW M series

Late 70's Black Trans Am (for the mullet aspect)

1978 Ford Fairmont Wagon (hehehe)

IronMonkeyL255 · Post by **IronMonkeyL255** » Fri May 06, 2005 3:10 am

Here's a few of my top choices:

Porsche 959:

Porsche Carrera GT:

Caterham Super 7:

Mini Cooper S:

Nissan Skyline GT-R:

Those are just the first ones that came to mind.

91White-T · Post by **91White-T** » Fri May 06, 2005 4:00 am

Ah yes, the Carrera GT. I wouldnt even consider that in the same class as anything else on this page... :drool:

IronMonkeyL255 · Post by **IronMonkeyL255** » Fri May 06, 2005 4:31 am

I'd prefer the 959 myself.

197 MPH top speed with active suspension that lowers the car at 100 MPH for better aerodynamics. 6-speed manual gearbox w/ AWD. Twin-turbocharged flat 6-cylinder 3200 lbs w/ 450 BHP. Double wishbone suspension w/ 2 shocks per wheel.

I just realized the other day that I'm a Porsche geek. I have several books on the company, and am constantly looking for more info.

josh9227 · Post by **josh9227** » Fri May 06, 2005 4:58 am

old audi s3, any year evo, old chevy blazers, and audi RS6 wagon

206er · Post by **206er** » Fri May 06, 2005 5:14 am

yeah new porsches are nice and all, but I cant see myself driving one. maybe its the entry fee?

maybe a 70's 911 and certainly a 914.
some revival:

I'd love to build something like this
