I have just watched the transformers movie on DVD, and really liked this car.  Apart from the obvious ferrias, what car would you like to own.

Pontiac solstice

My friend Ethan does or did machining and fabrication for Brammo. Their factory is about 35 miles from my house. Purty stuff.

I would own a 904 GTS with a 4 cam Carrera engine with 48 IDAs. Yes they can be street legal.

This is my dream car:



This is the 289 version of the 427 SC Cobra. Most people know the big brother but the one that won all the races were the small block roadsters and coupes. The big block cars proved too nose heavy to actually be raced.
or





They actually made a street version of this car. Though not to many were sold.  Grin
or





There a theme going here?  Grin

Oh and if your wondering, this is the only true Shelby Mustang. 1965 Shelby GT-350. This is actually the R version which was race only, supposedly. The rest were bloated, over optioned, street barges.





Okay, so you want something not Ford, well how about the one car that always takes my breath away:





Some people like Ferrari, some like Porsche, but give me a D type (yeah right) or E type any day.

Ask me next week, I am sure the list will have changed. I just love cars period.
