Specs.
 
Nominations re-open today. Me and Legro have already put some in. A quick apology for missing a day, as said earlier, I'm awfully busy lately.

11/1/14: 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10, nominated by me, @Dagger311.

Specs. I nominated this particular model because it was the birth of one of America's most iconic supercars.

11/2/14: 1951 Buick Lesabre concept, nominated by me, @Dagger311.

Specs and information from conceptcarz.com. Nominated for it's unique 50's styling, as well as because I have a hot wheels 1:64 scale model of it. :P

I got lucky today. Anyone else noticed the selections are a lot more varied now? Quite a few people have joined in, so that helped a lot. Thanks to everyone who keeps this running.
 
Viper was insane car when it was launched. Truck engine tuned by Lamborghini, which was also an insane company in early 90s. And even today it's one of the most insane cars ever.
 
Think I'll do some nominations later when I'm on my laptop.

That Buick is very strange looking.

My dad got to test drive one when it first came out. He said you could jump from 1st to 3rd without stalling at all.

That's because it's a concept car, and it's a 50's American car. :P

To be fair, you can do that in some other cars too.

Quite a few, actually. But the amount of power this thing laid down was unheard of for a 90's American car.
 
I don't know much about it. Last time I drove it was over 6 years ago :p

I'll try to find pic of 7 year old me driving it, later today.

11/4/14: 1978-1981 Camaro Z/28, nominated by me, @Dagger311.

Specs. I know, the pic is blurry, but I chose it cause it looked old, like something out of an ad from that era.

I chose the car itself because I had considered a base model 78 Camaro during my pipe dream for a 2nd gen Camaro as a first car. Was going to nominate the base model, but decided to go all out and put the high performance one in.

That's gotta be a 78 Z28, the later ones had the crazy graphics IIRC.

Are they quite cheap for young drivers? For a sports car anyway.

I doubt it. That's why I said it was a pipe dream. :lol:

It is, I just nominated that body style in general, so I listed the years as well.

Nice, but it's name is Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evo 2 or Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2.

I like the way Peugeot did their Group B car. Engine in the middle, over 500 hp and it still looks like a car that is normally a very cheap hatchback for everyone or a hot hatch legend. It's still the only Group B rally car that looks anything like normal production car.
 
11/8/14: Jaguar XJR-9, nominated by @Legro.

Length: 4,780 mm (188.2 in)

Engines: 6995cc (Naturally Aspirated)

Won Le Mans despite being naturally aspirated. The V12 is beautiful.
 
Years are wrong, should be 1975-1980
