I also would like to put forward the car that has become so over exposed it has become invisible, The Shelby Cobra.

Group B Rally cars... pretty much all of them

The Eagle F1 car

BMW E30 M3 Evo, 320i WTCC cars

Lotus Elan & Cortina

60s era Alfa GTVs

I have always had a soft spot for the Lancia 037, for being what it was and hanging in like it did.

lets see some pictures of these cars. just typing them out isnt enough!

SCCA Sports Renault aks Spec Racer Ford

any Penske Indy car

Nissan GTP

Bentley 4 1/2 litre

I thought we are supposed to pick just one that we thought the ultimate performance vehicle??

does the space shuttle count as a vehicle, i think so!

+1 on the Plymouth Superbird in Petty livery.

Jaguar D-type. Prettiest racecar ever?

Audi R8. Incredibly dominant.

Chevrolet C5R and/or C6R GT1. Chased everything else out of the class.

Major cool.

If we're allowed to about talk about old scbool drag racing, how about:

"Dyno" Don Nicholson (Maverick), Don Prudohmme (Cuda), Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins(Camaro), etc, etc....
