In your opinion, what's the best car ever ??? Including style, engine, design, engine sound, innovations...
Here in Brazil cars are too expensive, specially American Muscle Cars (the best IMHO.) For an example, the minimum price of a good looking '76 Dodge Charger R/T is about R$ 16.000,00 (US$8.500,00), it's a big shit, dude !! And the prices are growig day after day...
Well the best car ever for me is the Dodge Challenger R/T (70�s) and in 2nd place Plymouth HEMI Cuda.
The sound of that engine workig is great !!!
Here in Brazil is extremely rare to see a non-4cylinder engine car riding on the streets, most cars are those compact models, with weak 1.0 engines, what a shame
I had a '75 Dodge Dart a few years ago, but, thanks to my "wise" dad, it's gone. |

The best car ever is a 1970 plymouth duster 360
I also like the 1955 Bel-Air and any small compact station wagon from the 1980's |

Best car or favourite car - two completely different things!
I've always been partial to the styling of the '61 Jaguar XKE Coupe.
Also love the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.
I'd settle for almost any Ferrari...

That's the Mad Max car without the accessories! We don't have them over here, Timbo. Do they have an american Ford V8 or what? We don't get any cars from Australia, that Falcon and the Holden brand of cars are about the only ones I have really heard about. |

It's an evolution (or almost).
Topolino is the italian name for Mickey Mouse. |

my next door neighbour used to have one of these back in the 70's...he also had a fiat 131..looked a bit like some of the early skodas.....i also like old jags and if i could afford one i would probably go for the old xjs..i love the shape of the body,the best car i ever had was a 1993 BMW 520i.... my friends called it 'the growler'...'cause the engine sounded so sweet....i swapped it for a van when i was working for myself for a while...the best bit was coming up my road after turning the corner and going into third gear(manual gearbox)...all the parked cars alarms would go ofF with the vibration for the noise of the engine.... and the best bit was no one ever twigged what was causing it..just as well as i used to get home pretty late some evenings.... ...... |
