E-Type

BMW E-9

This one may be pushing it. I've never seen one in person. Not sure if it is really even in my top 10. Nissan Silvia CSP311.

This one, just because I will own on someday. Had a Mk3 Sprite, but not a bugeye yet.

What makes the 900 aero so nice to look at? Not my cup o' tea, yet I posted some 80s angle-y goodness.

I'll take "no trucks" as long as the 80s Shelbys get to stay :p

I dunno on the SAAB, and I imagine it will fall off of the list before too long. I can think of dozens of better looking cars not yet nominated. (DB7, DB9, F360, F458, F550, F456, 240Z, SA RX-7, 944, 911, 930, 993, 71 Cuda, 67 Mustang, 65 Mustang, 70 Firebird, 67 Corvette, 68 Corvette, Evora, Gen 1 Viper, Gen 2 Viper, 05-06 GTO...)

I say get to 100 first then let people knock off cars for others by popular suggestion.

Saab 900 really?!?

I would also replace the MGA roadster with coupe.

I'll just nominate this. The Vector W8. Especially in black. When I was a kid, this was the kind of car we were supposed to be driving now, and yet here we are and everything on the market looks like a blob of melted butter painted "generic dirty silver #4". What the hell happened?

Say what you will about its actual prowess as a car, or about the company's business shenanigans, but goddamn you can't deny those looks. One of the few cars I would call truly stunning.

I like the 'get to 100 and then decide' thing but.. this is going to be a huge, messy thread without someone having mod powers to keep it clean and remove the staggering amount of duplicate hotlinks which will amass..

also i think it's javelin's thread and he should BASICALLY get the line-item veto on what goes in the list. And we will have the freedom to badger him over his choices.

Cars that make me do a double take on the road... ford gt is already in here.

The 90s japanese halo cars might date me a little (not a bad thing imo) but i still get excited when i see NSX's on the road. Flip-up lights only, and preferably with prettier wheels than stock.. Im not going to spend TOO much time on google image right now but here's a nice profile shot (with non-flipup lights, drrrr).

Also, the mkiv supra is aging incredibly well imo and still gets my attention whenever i see one that's not horribly modded. Again, not my favorite pic..

I like the FD a lot but lately im starting to think it's looking really dated, especially from certain angles. I think the NSX and Supra are aging better.

In no way does an AMC deserve to sit in slot #4. It may be one of the prettiest AMC's ever built but it still doesn't look even as good as the saab let alone a ford GT.

My nomination: De Tomaso Mangusta
