Re: Whats the best cars you've seen?

Seen lots and lots and lots of cars...at car shows that is..I can't remember what I have all seen.

Anyways:

Best of Car shows : Ferrari F40, 2 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0's, 2 Lamborghini Murcielagos, 1971 Hemi Challenger, 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 383 4 speed convertible (only one ever produced), Dino Ferrari, Lamborghini Miura, some year of Shelby GT500, a GT500 with a dashboard signed by Mr. Carrol Shelby, Shelby AC Cobra....I need to stop there before this gets too long.

Best of on the road: Ferrari 348 (maybe a Spyder not sure), Ferrari 360 Modena (maybe a Spider not sure), 1971 'Cuda (440 I think), and lots of Vipers/Corvettes.

EDIT: How did I forget! I saw a 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova at two different car shows.

I saw a super rare Orginal Daytona Cobra crash at Laguna Seca, that was pretty interesting. Got pretty messed up.

some of the coolset cars i saw where a murciélago and a gallardo
The rarest car i ever saw was a Lotus 340R, with only 340 cars on this entire planet. And it was in the lotus showroom two streets away from me, and the guy in the showroom was really friendly so i could go and take all the pictures i want. I hope there's gonna be an exige soon, and maybe a sequel to the esprit

Re: Whats the best cars you've seen?

TheScientist, you stood next to a 1957 Edsel?? Wow, how did you do that? Edsels were made from 1958-1959-and the early 1960. Wish I could do that. I guess thats why they call you TheScientist.

Re: Whats the best cars you've seen?

Tons of Boxsters, 996s, and 993s, as well as various other Porsches.
5 Mercedes SL55 AMGs
4 Ferrari 360 Modenas
2 Ferrari 360 Modena Spyders
1 Ferrari 348
1 Ferrari F40
1 Porsche 911 GT3 at the local Porsche dealer
2 Ferrari 550 Maranello
1 BMW M1 at the local BMW dealer
1 Lamborghini Diablo when I was in Dallas last year
3 Lotus Esprits

And of course, my Porsche Boxster S. Yes I know, what's so special about that? Well if you had one as your first car, you'd feel the same way.

When I saw it, the plaque on it said "Built on July 31, 1957 for Edsel Division of Ford Motor Company 1958 Production Line."

The guy said it was a 1957. So I got the wrong imformation and passed it on. Do you really have to suggest your point enough to give me a negative reputation?

Just remembered I saw a Lambo Murcielago on the NJ Turnpike going to Six FLags. It was nice. Then the other day I saw a Diablo, an old one down near Fort Lee. Had some nice chromes on it.
