I'd have to agree Matt. I just pulled up some pictures. Brings back memories of the DOS based indy/F1 games I used to play.

Dudes, FUCK the Alfa! I want this one!!!
You know...with all the members we have on this forum, If we each pitched in like 50 bucks...we could buy some really sweet cars and bring 'em to the comps. Every one who chipped in gets to take it for a spin. Just an idea.............That should REALLY be followed through with.

My two cents, and honest opinion, I think this car turned out to be beautiful:



Not to knock anyone else's car, but I just love the way this one turned out.

I thought that looked familiar. I looked through my photos from comp and found the one that I took of your car. Beautiful car. I took a picture of it to show everybody how a body should look. It's even prettier in profile. Big Grin

It's not my car, just I think the best example of body work and finish I saw at the competition this year.

I owned a Corvette already, definitely not as great looking as a Miura :

Saw a miura on a recent trip to london, somewhere close to portobello road. Apparently very bad handling in these things!

I too was a little disappointed that Nissan could through away the looks of one of the best looking Japanese cars of all time. I feel the R34 was the most muscular raw 'american' looking Jap car ever, and dont even get me started on them dropping the straight six.

Wow, I've only seen the non rally version before, so I had no idea it was a rally car in the first place. Doesn't even look like it should be. To me they look like old bugdet ferraris.

It was designed and built as a rally car to the limit of the rules, and only barely homologated.

The R34 is a cutie for sure.

Ferrari 312B2, just somethin I really like about it..

The old GT500 is pretty attractive (and you'd be amazed how many girls are really turned on by this car!)

Aston DB5, a very classic refined sexyness

But by far, my favorite, original 427 Cobra. Sex machine of a car. And goddamn fast by any standard, especially when it was released!

Yes, Eleanor is a very beautiful car. One of my favorites. She's my car of choice for Class D in PGR3.

At the Chicago Auto Show, I almost went ape shit on some girl's ass. After looking at the Cobra 427, you know what she said? She turned to her friend and said "That's a cute little car," and said the word "cute" as if she were refering to a Volkswagon Beetle Mad In my head, all at the same time, I yelled "OH MY GOD! NOOOO! AHHHHH!" And pictured myself leaping across the showroom floor, slapping her as hard as I could, and telling her to never call that car cute ever again....yes, it hurt me on such a deep level, that I wanted to run over there and slap her. I didn't say I was proud, but it was the least I could do [think] for such a great legend.
