[Matt M240Z]

I was searching for an opel road test comparison and one of the links was at automotiveforums.com and i clicked it and it broguth me to a survey on peoples top 5 favorite cars. I went to bed feeling kind of sick. This may offend some people; but if your dream car is a civic with a b18 motor swap or the only knowledge u hav about a gt500 is from 'gone in 60 sec.', how about posting it on automotiveforum.com.

With that said, my top 5 favorite/dream cars; which changes frequently and is a very hard decision to make, are the following

1. Opel GT - 400 cu.i. small block swap, 4-link with shortened ford 9" (i would have said 572 cu.i. , but i thought about the space limitations and remembered this was about dreaming not hallucinating)
2. Abarth Simca - due to size, engine location, and beauty of this italian masterpiece...i dont thnk i would be able to do an engine swap.
3. Datsun 240Z - 572 big block w/ 9" rear end
4. Lotus 7 (after riding in the 1st one to make it to the states) but i would probably have to modify the engine quite a bit, because if u have ever ridden in one, those cars were designed to hug the turns, not snatch the front end off the ground.
5. MGB - 572 swap

Like i said, it changes a lot and i will probably remember tonite that i forgot to list a very nice car.

But i'd just like to get an idea for wut people in the community are into, so please list your top 5(well list more if u want) favorite cars.

[Derek Greenwood]

1. Ford GT
2. 2007 Shelby Mustang
3. Opel Gt
4. Abarth Long Nose or 1000 TCR or 2000 OT
5. 427 Cobra

I've owned an Abarth 1000 and currently own a 2000 OT replica and a GT. Will own a 2007 Shelby Mustang. If I every have more money then I know what to do with I will add the Ford Gt and the 427 Cobra to my garage. There are a couple other red Italian cars I would add to my list if it went past 5.

 

[RallyBob]

Tough to narrow it down to just five cars. There are of course the 'dream' cars, the cars you've always wanted from childhood, and then the ultimate performance cars.

My choices, in no particular order:

1. Toyota 2000GT
2. Opel Manta 400 (wide body version)
3. Opel Lotus Omega
4. Ferrari 330 SP
5. Lancia Delta S4 rallycar (648 hp, 1800 lbs, and 4wd, what's not to love?)

I know that's only 4 but I've just spent 15mins thinking and the brain's gone blank.............oh,oh,oh......I've got it.

5. Ferrari 365 GTC-4......I suppose one of these isn't beyond the relms of ownership.

 

[GoinManta]

2006 Opel GT
Alfa Romeo Giulietta (Sprint Speciale is a bonus)
Porsche 356

excelsior: i love the chevy cheetah, they have one wicked little 327 in them and were purposely built to compete with the Shelby AC Cobras. only 23 were built before the business producing them for chevy was burn to the ground, with a few cheetahs inside, a few have been wrecked, not sure how many stil exist, but would guess around 10 left in the world.
