Underappreciated cars?

Mini Marcos GT, for me. Especially the British Racing Green version. Looks like a friggin' bullfrog.

Toyota GT-0ne. People talk about using the black 787B for prototype races for points, but rarely about the TS020. It's got all the makings of a giant slayer, and an easy win, at that.

The GT One has always been well-known for it's 300+ mph capability. As for "giant slayer", well, it's one of the giants.

A personal favorite of mine that I feel is underappreciated is the Ruf 3400S. Great fun in the Boxer Spirit series, and a 200-pointer in Schwarzwald Liga B. Not to mention a just plain fun to drive car.

^ True. The 3400S is the weakest of the RUFs if I'm not mistaken. People usually go on about the Yellowbird and the others.

Off the top of my head, the '70 Honda 1300-S comes to mind. It's this front-drive air-cooled car but it has this huge range of revs. I remember driving that old clunker in the 1,000 Miles races, its engine screaming the entire trip up the long hills in 3rd gear, barely making redline.

There are dozens of others unappreciated, too many to mention.
