Due to popular demand it has now been changed, tho rather reluctantly ill change it over to Best Looking Car, including new ones. Note to mods: can we have a poll on which cars people like best old or new?, just interested in what young people like better

I'd add a 56k warning to the thread title, some of them pics are on the large side.

I must say i dont like pre 80 cars alot... maybe better change this into best looking car thread, without the pre 80's thing.

One of my favourites, more for the whole package. imo with ITBs this is the most utterly gorgeous sounding V6 ever. Has to have flippy headlights though (stupid EU legislation)

-edit- just noticed that shows the type-R, I can appreciate it from an engineering point of view but it lost it's soul when they decided to put a button in to "retract the aerial to half height to improve aero". That's the sort of thing someone at Porsche would do. And no I don't like Porsches

Excuse my ignorance, but what is/are ITB's?

cheers

Personally I'm not a fan of vintage cars, though there's some that I don't mind. I'd take a 'wad of plastic' and no whiplash, thanks.

Individual throttle bodies, you have a throttle body for each cylinder rather than a single barrel throttle body to regulate airflow. Upside is the engine runs more efficiently by decreasing pumping losses to achieve more horsepower. Very tuneable setup too, the only problem is they are quite complicated to setup and you really need a standalone ECU package to get the best out of them

Ah thanks for that!

69' corvette stingray



Ferrari 512bb - gorgeous

Zep, agreed, that is one of the nicest sounding cars around!

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

The Pontiac Trans Am and the Stingray are very nice indeed!

I also like some of the really classic cars, I mean, how can you resist this?

As simple as this
