    Picking five will be hard as there are so many that I love. My personal favourite is the Mk 1 Astra GTE. I know a lot of people will think im mad but its one of the few cars that makes my heart beat faster when i see one.

    No, it's a GT500. The car you posted doesn't exist. It was created for Gone in 60 Seconds, and wasn't a real GT500. No vehicle that looks like that was ever made by Ford.

    Are you sure? I'm pretty sure it was a real 1967 GT500 they used. There are obviously many replica's thesedays but as far as I'm aware it does exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_(1973_Ford_Mustang) (not that wikipedia's the most reliable source in the world)

    Edit: Done some digging. It would seem that in the film they took a GT500 and added a few bit's here and there. I still think it looks sh*t hot.

    Yes I'm sure... completely sure.

    I see that as a non-issue. I love everything about that car, except for the fact that I can't have one.

    I was thinking about this the other day! I decided that the cars of my youth, although gorgeous at the time, are nothing compared to the cars of today. So based purely on what gets my heart pumping, it's this 5:


    1) Bugatti Veyron
    [​IMG]

    2) Lamborghini LP 550-2 Valentino Balbon (not the best colour, but this car I would like to have sex with)
    [​IMG]

    3) Ferrari Enzo (Mmmm!)
    [​IMG]

    4) Koenigsegg CCX RR (woooow!)
    [​IMG]

    5) Lambo Diablo: (there's something about this car that really scares me)

    No Love for the classics?

    Admittedly there is no denying the beauty of some examples here, my favorites being the Reventon , Diablo and GTO250.

    But.....come on look at this beauty:rock::


    I give you the 1935 Holkar Maharaja Duesenberg
