Favorite Auto?

My all-time favorite car is the Jagua XJR-9 (LM edition, with the low wing to allow 240mph on the Mulsanne Straight). My eventual plan is to build a ground-up, tube-frame replia with two seats. Just listen to that sexy bitch roar!
Post you favorite car, be it production, kit, race, whatever gets your blood going.

My favorite car is a pretty old model but I've always loved The Flintstones vehicle:
That fire engine red body just turns me on, and the stone wheels means I'll never get a flat. Sure it has slow take off, but once you get it going it pretty much drives itself. Leave the top up for a family drive or pull it down to turn it into a convertible. The only problem it seemed to have was its inablity to stay upright when you placed a serving of bronasaurus ribs on the driver's side.
;)
Really I like the ferrari diablo. Mostly because that is the only exotic car I've ever been in.

Datsun 240z
My uncle owns a Datsun 280zx himself. I'm saving up for the 240z that is on sale, sitting in my school's parking lot.

I drive this, so that when I hit pass through the hood, they know I mean serious business, and I'm the baddest one there.

Bugatti Veyron

Guess what Top Gear tested as turning a faster lap time than the Veyron?

Well it's power to rate ratio is almost twice that of the Veyron so that is too be expected. I don't think anyone really thought the Veyron would be a good track racer. Sure it will be up there because of it's power but it's a straight line car. Something as big and heavy as the Veyron will not like turns.

I love Europe. Where else can a stripped-out racecar still be road-legal, even as a production car?
Though the Caterham has alot of faults. It produces twice as much drag as a Ferrari Enzo (but the Superlight R500 should be slightly less because of the lack of windscreen) and produces about 50lbs of lift at 100mph. It's a fairly old design, and with Caterham's current pricing model, the Aerial Atom is honestly a much better car for the cash.
But the Caterham still has that cool factor. Plus you can build one yourself from scratch quite easily for around $3000 USD.

Kia Shuma, believe it or not. I know it's strange, but I like it because it looks exactly the same as GTA3's Kuruma.

Surely tho you aren't suggesting that either of those cars are better then the Caparo T1? After all a vehicle that is as cheap, reliable, safe and practical as the Caparo is superior to all other cars. With all those factors going for the Caparo it is clearly the right choice rather then a Caterham or the Aerial.

IIRC, didn't that almost set Clarkston on fire when he was test driving it? :D And besides, it failed their sleeping policeman test.
Honestly the Caparo T1 looks completely ridiculous to me. It might be shi* fast but it...I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way. And anyway, at least a Westfield XTR4 can hold a passenger and a little luggage.

Also I'm sure that the passenger in the Caparo could hold a bag of apples or something. At least a gallon of milk.
Now a real man's car is the Peel P50. Great gas saver and it's got practicality that no other car has. It's portable!

Curious and Wondering
I pick a BMW 330i, the black one. It's quite stylish but not too stylish, and within my price range.
