|  coolest car ever (1:1)
whats the coolest car ever? IMO it's this a 1965 AC Cobra with a 427 V8. It's got an all aluminum body and does 0-100-0 in 13.1 seconds.  |

| http://www.hemiduster.com/ I'd have to say that one is my favorite car ever. Too bad it isn't a 4 speed with a pistol grip shifter

I agree Dave, There is a guy who lives 2 houses down from my parents in oregon who bought one brand new in 65', still has it and still drives it like he stole it at age 72. He used to take me for rides as a kid and he always had a $100 bill taped to the dash, he would say" if you can grab it you can have it. " Needless to say, the g-force of that little car kept me from ever grabbing it.  | |

some cool ones i have personal experience with: my buddy's 240Z: we yanked the 6-banger and dropped in a 350 Olds. it handled for shiyat, but it would really move in a straight line once it got hooked up. another bud's 440-6-pack '70 Cuda with the pistol-grip 4-speed. really developed your left leg muscles with that one. the older i get, the more i miss my '78 Lincoln Town Coupe, even though the sunroof leaked, and would dump half a gallon of cold water down my neck the first time i tapped the brakes every morning. waddaya want for 200 bucks. Ford GT40 MkII, 427 side-oiler with 4-inch open headers and 4 Webers. more or less lived in the vintage race car shop i used to work at and would collapse your lungs when we fired it up. Dirk, we had a Countach in the shop that had been stored in a barn for about 5 years. mice had gotten into it and had eaten the wiring harness. that was a fun job. and before you say "the owner should be shot," we did worse than that: we gave him the bill. |

My uncle has a 2002 porsche 911 turbo and that car will not only make your eyes go back in your head in a straight line but it'll take corners so fast you'll be sitting there wondering how the hell the car stuck to the road. And yes he is giveing it to his snot nosed son for his birthday.

Man, I'm glad this isn't a webcam chat room cuz you all would've seen my OHHHH! face. the cobra is sweet as hell. Ya know, Bill cosby had 1 but sold it soon after because he was too scared to let it breathe. That sounds like a fun car. I've seen plenty of them in the Dupont registry labeled as "porsche eaters" but that has to be in a straight line. No way it could hang in the corners. Nice pic, BTW.  |

I find it almost impossible to pick one car as my favorite but as far as stock cars go the SC 427 cobra is in the top 10 for sure !! Also 289 ac cobra ,Gt 350 , 350R or 500 , Ford Thunderbolt , GT 40 or 90 , old and new BOSS 429 mustang , Pantera , any Lambo , enzo farrari , Mc Clarin F1 , Also I really like that concept jeep with the two hemis. Theirs dozens more but no one will read this if its to long  |

It's funny how your tastes change as you grow older. I've had a ton of fast cars, hot rods, sports cars, etc. Spent the better part of my career working in speed shops, resto shops, and currently a dealership. Currently I've got a serious hard on for Jay Leno's '69 Tornado. That car is just plain sick. Twin turbo big inch alumium small block. Any of you guys see the episode of Rides when they were building it? Sick sick sick. |

funny you mention the F40. the dude who owned the GT40 also owned an F40 and drove the thing in the snow. it was cool as hell seeing that thing all colvered in salt with the scoops packed up with ice and slush. wish i'd snapped a pic. he also had a pontoon-fender 250 TR, later sold it for well over a million. i saw the same car in an ad for one of the big auction houses. got a pic of me somewhere with it, back when i was young and had hair. he was hella cool for a rich guy, too. almost a regular joe, but with a 10-figure bank account, before the decimal point. |
