2/10 Just a big ugly boat of a thing

8/10

Jaguar E-Type, with a 2jz, bmw suspension, built for drifting.jpg

The exquisitely built Jag E-Type made for drifting I posted about in the Questionable Mods thread, dubbed the "Japuar", running a non-VVTi spec turbo'ed 1JZ. Many may consider such a thing "sacrilegious" etc, but I love it, and it's been built to such a good standard.
 
1/10 That just looks hideous. Just looks like another "generic" (if you can call it that) 50's to early 60's big American barge/"Yank" tank, if you wan't to call it that. Just never been a big fan of that style.

Lotus Elise GT1 in it's Closed Cockpit Prototype LMP form.
 
Oh look, a race car...

I suppose it deserves a point for being a Lotus rather than the R18/919/TS050 that it looks identical to? 1/10.

3.5/10 for what I want to say is a Citroen Traction Avant Coupe?

Whilst I completely respect your opinion, I personally think the T128 looks a fair bit different to the TS050/919/R18 trio, and that in fact all prototypes are fairly distinguishable, at least so to me. But it's each to their own, horses for courses etc, etc, at the end of the day :).

It's the Euro-spec model, which is certainly in its favor, but perhaps unfair for it is the fact that it will always be tainted--in my mind--by its US-spec counterpart. 4/10.

5.5/10 Have a bit of a soft spot for the 308, seems to be a bit of a "castaway", though I personally prefer it to a fair few more "popular" Ferrari's from the same era. And the styling, though perhaps different to the more curvier designs at the time, is pretty neat IMO, since I like that type of Bertone style a-la the Urraco and Stratos.

Speaking of Lamborghini

Lamborghini Urraco - One of my more favoured, if not favourite Lambo, easily better looking than the period Countach to me.

10/10 looks amazing, sounds amazing, and it has an Italian V8. It's my favorite Lambo as well.
And that's the Wheeler Dealers' Urraco... God I want Edd back... :nervous::nervous::nervous:

My favorite classic VW - The '56 Karmann Ghia.
 
6/10 Whilst I know it's one of the forefathers of the Skyline, I've never been the biggest of fans of the BLRA-3 Prince Skyline. Just always looked a little funny to me.

March 82G/01 - One of the most spectacular and awesome looking beasts of the Group C/GTP era. Love how the early Group C/GTP cars looked with the massive venturis when they started to fiddle with ground effect. Also interesting fact, was the first car Adrian Newey designed.
 
9/10 no real explanation needed really

Ferrari 312P.JPG

Ferrari 312P - One of, if not the prettiest Ferrari racecar (high accolade from a non-fezza fan), prettier than the P4 IMO.
