I fanboyed.

Not sure why it has that license plate, it's clearly a C3 Corvette.

Go home Vette, you're drunk.

Actually, I think it may have had a GTO donor car.

I was thinking along the lines of a rebodied GTO, to be honest. Otherwise it wouldn't make a lick of sense for a 'Vette to call itself a GTO.

Might be an IMSA GTO class car, but I'm not sure since I don't know much about that era.

The website I pulled it from said it was a Corvette.

And everything you read on the internet has to be true.

Edit: @AnthonyD1993 is right, here's another one:

Aah, it's an IMSA imitation car, that's why the "GTO" is on the license plate. Makes more sense now.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Sheesh.

Those rock. It's a pity that the Mercury has actually a modern engine. Nothing beats poping the hood on a car like that and staring at a Y-Block with a sextet of Strombergs.

If I'm correct, that is West Corvette 2. It was made for the JGTC. Car 5 (below) is the most famous of their Corvettes since it made an appearance in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3. The WEST team is regarded as Japan's go-to Corvette shop. While it's an old pic, the car is essentially still the same. The only recent changes are the wheels and the removal of the WEST sticker on the windshield.

Yeah, I first heard of it because of Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3. It was one of the major three rival cars (alongside Manabu Orido's Toyota Supra and a Nissan Skyline R34) you could fight during the game. And befitting enough, it was a strong rival. It's like a Super GT Corvette, a truly mean racing machine...

Car 5 makes me do two things- make me wonder about what could have been if GM had Corvette Racing then, and it makes me want to play TXR3. I used to walk everything (including this, the Ridox Supra, and the MCR R34, but that was because the MR2 with the engine conversion was just flat insane). This C4 (Car 5, the one in the game) had a reputation for destroying nearly everything back then, and it still is pretty feared and respected to this day.

I remember how powerful a engine-swapped RX-7 was when you put your hands on one. I steamrolled most of the endgame rivals with one, so I know firsthand how dangerous it can really be. The 'Vette, both the C4 and the C5, were equally dangerous rivals, as well as being great cars on their own right.

Oh...crap.

Okay, I like smooth looking cars and this guy interests me.

Other than ****** stuff? Yeah I know. But no one's perfect I guess. Or if I hadn't shared the wrong cars like a silly fool.

Not sure if I linked this before though but this Chrysler...

Jeez.

 

[Cano]

That is incredibly awesome, and a car that no one pays attention to.

TJ O'Connor's Ranchero...holy hell this thing...

**** me that is one hell of a Cobra II.

And @Slash. A Boss 429. I know Boss 302's are a thing but 429's gotta have something special too. There's one on that Ranchero. That's right.

I just love the bumblebee paintjob.

Those Rancheros. The Mustang II is so lame.

Not bad, that Mustang II. And hey, I've seen lamer Mustang IIs. Better than a factory brown turd with around 100-plus hp. That one looks like it had some work done in the engine bay, at least.

Also:

Wow that's sleek. Can't quite tell what muscle car that is, though. Perhaps a Charger?

Ah, so it's a Torino. Also, thanks for the link, makes a great read into the story of the car. Built by a car guy for a car guy, doesn't get much better than that. And since the car owner will drive the schimit out of it, it's a win-win situation. Both for the owner and us car fans...

Well, LWG, you sure are in top of your... well, game, aren't you?

Also, that's a RAMBLER!? Sir, you're lying, there's no way a Rambler would be that gorgeous looking...

Well, there you go. I do not know many of them, but buying a car like that has to be one of the best ways to spend 22.000 dollars I know of. Although I think the price won't stay that low for long...

Edit: Also, "Jesus!" alert:

Sometimes you don't need to be custom to look absolutely incredible. Anyone fancing a rare Superbird?
