Great topic. My favorite car is my ford escourt. I can boast a healthy 0-60 mph in just slightly under 30 seconds. Not only that...on the interstate I've been known to cruise at or slighlty above the posted speed limit (65mph). Sometimes my car drinks whole quarts of oil in a few days. The courtesy lights on the inside have quite a bad attitude as they seemingly never work when I give other people a ride. The doors all squeak loudly even when oiled. The radio only has one working speaker, but often this will cut out. The windshield wipers don't even touch the windsheild (they're brand new, and so is the spring, the handle that holds it in place, and even the windshield itself is brand new). But since this is the only car I've ever owned, it is by far my favorite of all the cars I've ever owned.  |

My favorite car of all time would have to be the MClaren F1-50. 0-60 mph: 3.2 sec 0-100 mph: 6.5 sec Quarter Mile: 11.6 sec @ 125 mph Top Speed: 240 mph www.fast-autos.com/fan/f1.htmlIt just can't be beat so far. And it looks hot too! |

I would have to say my fave car would be the Dodge Viper. That thing just looks tough. Since I cant seem to come up with the funds to buy one I am building up my second favorite car. 1973 914 Porsche. I am pulling that cheap little 85 hp VW motor out and dropping in a 327 with 300 hp. When I am done this thing will then smoke the Viper in its tracks. It isnt quite as fast as the F1 50 but it will still get to 60 in 4.2 seconds. Fun topic Tony...

My favorite car that ive own is my '97 Pontiac grand prix gt. It used to run like a beast but it needs a serious tune up.
My favorite car all together is a close run between the Chevy SSR and the new Pontiac GTO Thats some fine machinery. I drove a SSR the other night the roads were wet so i couldnt get on it but i felt the power.

I want a stingray corvette and dress it up like the batmobile i think that would be sooooooo cool.
That to my knowledge is the only car that naturally looks like a batmobile. ;D

My favorite car I ever had was a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge 455, metallic blue paint, competition orange striping, black top, black nose cone and whale tail, my father and uncle had put a lot of extras into it, this car could flat roll.
My favorite car: sports car would be a Viper, there are better looking sports cars but they are not very practical to maintain. Sedan; Jaguar XJRL VP.

Chris don't you wish you still had it? It would be worth a small fortune in the proper condition.
Hell I would just like to have a car that I can actually work on, I lift the hood on mine now and it might as well be the space shuttle.
