I really have a thing for Shelby Mustangs. You can't deny this is a good looking car. http://www.mototype.com/pics/3690/full/ford-mustang-she...
Any mustang in general, would be nice. As soon as I get a job I'm saving for a GT

Delorean - the direct result of cocaine use (and certainly some hallucinogens). Everyone thinks "what would Back to the Future be without the Delorean", but in reality it was the opposite, the Delorean was nothing before the movie, and it's popularity was a result of it's inclusion in the series. Sorry to rain on your parade if you were serious about the Delorean (and not the idea of owning a car that was featured in a movie, or dream of a flying car).

Sorry to rain on your parade if you were serious about the Delorean (and not the idea of owning a car that was featured in a movie, or dream of a flying car).To say that the Delorean was nothing before the movie is inaccurate. The Delorean was quite popular for a short time (like a fad or firework) but was poorly constructed/made with an underpowered engine. When the Delorean first came out there were long waiting lists for the car. There is little doubt that this car was about style and it has this in spades. Even in back to the future Dr Brown says "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?". This car was definitely not nothing, regardless of whether you like it or not. Though there is some smidgen of truth in your words as John Delorean was arrested and charged with conspiring to smuggle a whole lot of cocaine into the US. This however, does not alter the impact of the Delorean on pop culture.

Yeah, I'll be honest, I wasn't even born when this car was in production, so I can't attest to it's actually popularity before the movies, but a friend of mine who's a car collector admitted they were poorly designed and that 99% of it's popularity came from it being featured in those films, and not from how the car was received. Honestly who wants a car that cost $25000 (1981 dollars) and produces 170hp? The funniest thing in the Wikipedia article (regarding its inclusion in the Back to the Future films):
Quote:
Six DMC-12s were co-opted for use in the making of the films. For the second and third films, producers replaced the underpowered stock engines in their production cars with Porsche engines.

A dream car? Make mine a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta. Only a few dozen were made, but it was essentially a Formula 1 racer with an aluminum body so it would be legal for the street. Fantastic hp for its time with its 3 liter V12 engine. There was a time when I could have bought one for $10,000, but I felt that was too much money. Now they sell for around $20 million dollars. OK, big mistake on not buying it.
The Delorean was a nice concept car, but had poor execution and was very underpowered. In the Back to the Future movie, it had to get up to 88mph, if I remember correctly. In real life, it had trouble doing that. I passed on buying one new, thank God, and later looked at a used one with the intention of putting a different engine in it. But when I discovered the massive amount of troubles in the second car, I passed on that as well.

No mention of a Pagani Zonda or a Mclaren F1? That's surprising. I would love either of those two cars, but if we are going to be realistic, I wish I could take that Delorean back in time to pick up a brand new VW Mark IV R32, and bring it back to the present haha. I'm a real sucker for the Mark IV hatchback style, and the AWD platform packaged with a 3.2 litre race-bred engine that can put down around 500 HP at the wheels for a few thousand dollars in modifications is not bad at all.

At the moment a Nissan GT-R, for the money (Actually a realistic dream) untouchable and I love japanese cars - always had something future-robotic about them rather than an aerodynamics experiment....
Infact I think the GT-R's vents are styled on manga gundam robots - not to everyones tastes, but i like it.

Koenigsegg ccxr, Skyline, 1st or 2nd gen z28, challenger 570x or a mr norm, 66 mustang GT 350, ford gt, f150 stx (good truck already have it), redbull f1 with Ferrari V8 Type 056 motor.....
There are really to many to list. Lived in Detroit for years and though I never worked directly for one of the big three I have always been relatively ford loyal especially now that the other two are owned by the government. I dont think that I will ever buy a gm or chrysler made after 2008.

Not a fan of thunderbirds but that looks a hell of a lot better than the newer models. That was a missed opportunity when they came out with that retro-like body style...just didn't work for me.

With Ford's new Eco-Boost, it's about time for a modern rendition of the old Turbo Coupe.

I like your style. I'd add a 1973 911 Carrera RS to the list, or any early 911, for that matter. I'm a big Porsche fan; I recently purchased my dream car, a 1987 924S (for a whopping $1200!).
My 924S needs some work, as you'd expect of a $1200 Porsche. Hopefully I'll have it on the road before too long; I can't wait to see how it drives.

The late 90's BMW M3 with that great blue green/aqua marine color. Does anyone know what color I am talking about? Do you know if that color only came out in certain years?I think you're talking about Laguna Seca Blue, but that was the E46 (2000-2006) M3
, but you could also be talking about the Estroil Blue E36 (1992-1999) M3
. Both are excellent choices.Edit: I need to add to my list the Porsche 959 with everyone around here dropping in the McLaren F1. It is the original supercar (1986).

It looks more like the first picture but more green. Damn it, I have been wanting to know the year of this car forever. One day it will be mine.

I would not be against a new thunderbird if it is executed better.

^^Nice car. Had the pleasure of seeing a dark blue Shelby 500 last weekend parked next to my house in the driveway. I appreciate the 500 horspower, but I don't think I would every buy one. Not a fan of the portly looking 05 and up Mustangs. I'd rather have an 03-04 Cobra, but to each his own. Once again, nice car!

I second the comments on the Thunderbird, there are many better years of that car, let alone better models and makes. C'mon, dream in color. This is your DREAM car.

Short version of a long list...
1965 Shelby Mustang
1969 Boss 302 mustang - Out of Kar Kraft, life Moff's Coca Cola Mustang
Veskanda - pure racer, look it up on the web, made in Australia
1977 Porsche 930 - see below
1978 Porsche 935 - Group 5 racer based on 930, more muscle than the Governator, i think you call him
2008 VW Golf R32
2006 Alfa Romeo GT V6 - what noise, what acceleration
2009 E63 AMG - as above only even more of everything
1985 RALT RT5 - Formula Pacific racer, so fast, yet so simple
1967 Fold Falcon XR GT
1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase 3 - suggest the internet for these two, that will explain.
1979 Holden Torana A9X - again, try youtube for an understanding
2008 Toyota Aurion TRD - supercharged sedan, front wheel drive, pure stupidity, but so much fun to drive, especially in the rain, tried to kill me three times in 800 metres
there are so many more, but i have neither space nor money to indulge myself...

Sorry, but that is the butt-ugliest Thunderbird ever built. I definitely prefer the white-on-red '55 (hardtop/opera), or black-on-black '68 Landau (suicide/sequential turn signals).To each his own, but what your old classic T-bird has in nostalgia, the aero bird has in performance, sharing the FOX platform with the mustang, the pictured car is now a 500 HP supercharged 5.0 with T5 and Cobra brakes. Try that with your old '55. I'm sorry, but I'm a CAR GUY. A slow ass old 55 or the bloated 68 T-bird has no place in my garage.

Actually, no. The 83-88 aero birds offered the best performance potential of any year Tbird. Sure, the 89 and up Tbirds had the faster super coupe, but who wants ford 3.8, let alone a supercharged variant!!!! (if you don't know wtf I'm talking about, google ford 3.8 head gaskets). Also, for as little as $0.30, you can increase the boost of the Turbo coupe from 15lbs to a nice 18 pounds, giving a noticeable 15 to 20 extra horsepower, bringing the stock performance right in line with the super coupe, which BTW was the fastest factory Tbird ever made. Add in the fact that it's basically a fox Mustang with a sleaker body and semi-useable back seat at the sacrifice of a couple hundred pounds, you'll find the Fox tbird is virtually unbeatable in the contest of best performance Tbird. If you've never driven an 87-88 TC, let alone a turbo car in general, you sir have just no room to talk. That's all I can say about that.
Sure, there are plenty of newer, faster, or more classic cars, but the 87-88 TCs were clean, unique, and most of all, an absolute hoot to drive. You should try these links if you care to educate yourself about the subject:
