Best cars................ EVER.

[dubweiser666]

wasnt sure if it is strictly speaking ' a car ' but i think someone posted a pic of a landy, so i thought i would chance it!

My favorites of all the time..

Lancia 037



and

Lancia S4




R.I.P Henri Toivonen, a true rally legend.

But like when Henri drove a Talbot Lotus Sunbeam, it doesn't matter what you are driving if you know your stuff.. let it be even an Opel, it can be the absolute vehicle if there's a proper man behind the wheel.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwvIRuCLbyg

I especially like the "Oh dear god"-note the co-driver reads @ 1:39.. I think that Max Mosley should've been sat next to Vatanen in a drive like that and Vatanen should ask Mosley when he can free his hands from the wheel as in Mosley's opinion Vatanen didn't even drive his own rally car as he had a co-driver.. I hate jackasses who don't know a damn thing about the actual racing at the limit..

Outside the rally stuff.. I'd have to say CAN-AM Porsche 917



With 1100/1580 horsepower (820/1161 kW in race/qualifying spec) on tap from a 5.4 liter flat-12 and only weighing in at 1800 lb (816 kg) with better downforce this car won every race in the 1973 championship. Mark Donohue drove this car to a closed course world speed record of 221 mph (356 km/h) at the Talladega Superspeedway (then called the Alabama International Motor Speedway). It was capable of over 250 mph (402 km/h) on the straights.

Considering the ERA only thing I've got to say is "Screw you Veyron.."

Aaaannd of course I couldn't make a post like this without any 300-series included so the last car will be the amazing 363CS

Oh yes. Me likey.

Are those Ford Capri AlleyCat Rallye wheels?


And for another choice of mine... Leyland Force 7 ........... Shoulda been an absolute winner for BL in Australia....... only 10 pre-production cars ever made.

[volvosneverdie]

Ah man!
Cant believe you had to sell it.

At some point, id like a Firenza, Magnum, 2.3SL or Plain old Viva.
Prices are a bit manacing at the minute though.

In the past i have also had two flat front firenza's three magnums (one an estate) and 14 vivas 2 with v8s all the HC shape as well as a couple of VX490 Victors FD and FE plus HS chevette

Stefan is barred from thread.

I just used to like Vauxhalls from the 70s when i had money and no Kids

[Speedy88]

Nice to see a Lancia edition of top gear tonight

[Ronnie]

This thread was the first thing I thought of when I saw that segment too

[whiskeyonesix]

Just to interrupt...

Ben, the Leyland Force 7 was cancelled cos British Leyland ran out of money in Australia ( and pretty much everywhere else ) Their poor reputation regarding Land-Rover reliability didn't do them any favours either, and at the end of the day, it appeared that the Colonists preferred to buy Australian (Holden) Yankee muscle cars ( Ford Falcon ) or Jap.... Still do come to think of it!
