super cirrus
Nah, I just give them a crazy look:mad: , or play my music really loud. They're so nervous, it's kinda funny. Once, when driving my friends mustang, we did a burnout next to them when we took off. That was a long time ago though , and we only messed with them while they're stopped. I don't want them having a wreck, you know.

:scared: Yeah, I thought about "messin" around with one that uses my street as there test facility... Not cool. But I don't even have the guts to be on the sidewalk when they come around because you never know with them. It's not safe at all.
 
- dirty cars
- German cars on cold, rainy days

Yeah, I'm strange.
 
- Anything that handles very well
- Good engines
- Rear wheel drive coupes
- Italian supercars
- Hot hatches (unless they have excess understeer)

As for things that are purely for show...
- Beautiful exhaust notes
- Underbody lights... yes, I am a sucker for these
 
errh...

narrow tires with crappy grip
tiny engines that you have to rev the nuts off of for performance
windows down or top off
NO sound insulation
and a nice winding, windy mountain road



yes, I have had more fun with a crappy 95 hp car than a turbocharged 300 hp one. :lol:... because you can never go fast enough to hurt yourself, but you can get the adrenaline seriously pumping. I miss that little piece of ****. :(

Spooling turbo
30+ psi turbo pressure

A car spooling it's turbo to 30+psi sitting on the limiter backfiring :cool:

Did I meantion I'm a sucker for "Blondes in Black cars" too? :lol:
 
The feel of a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with 'baseball' style stitching in my hands...the crackle of a ford gt40 passing by my open driverside window, low profile / wide tires, lowered suspension look ( not low rider, but sports handling ) Wire mesh grills on sport luxury cars ( Caddy CTS-V ) Wipers on headlights, a drivers seat the hugs the midsection tight around the twisties...a gear box that guides your shifts while shifting almost reading your thoughts...the burbling idle of a cobra 427...
 
Let's see:
Cheap cars
RWD
Manual (w/ Clutch)
Pop up headlights
Sleepers
high revving pushrod V8's (7 liter Z06)
Even higher revving 4 cyls.

Anything that does more than 45MPG

70's/80's Sports Cars (E.g Ford Capri)
Long Bonnets

Fancy looking gauges
Big brakes
Fancy license plate numbers/letters
Hood scoops on classic american muscles

I forgot:
Porsches (in particular Pre-1990 911's)

Blue Dot tail-lights

Bruce Springsteen-Loud thru Kraco Speakers.

Driving west near sunset/East near sunrise in a convertible.

Second gear "chirps"

Interior Chrome

The smiling Redhead in the MG/Triumph/mid '60's Mustang.

The sound of a Harley-Davidson at idle.

Datsun 510's/Alfa Coupes/Porsche 914's

Four guys under a hood, getting it right before "cruise night"

Bucket seats that are close enough that shifting to fourth gets ya a handful of your girlfriend's/wife's knee.

BMW 633 coupes from the '80's
 
All wheel drive

Boxer engines

Carbon fiber on white/yellow

Tire smoke

"Battle worn" race cars. I love the look of a GT car after a grueling endurance race, or a rally car at the end of a stage.

Old-school (pre-1980) Japanese cars, especially when done with that style that's both JDM and uniquely American vintage racing.
 
Anything French except Peugeot.
Alfa Romeo
Y-Fork alloys
Practical and Fast
British Manufacturers :D
Nicely styled cars
A tuneful exhaust note:) (NOT Novaboy fart cans)
Diddy wee little cars!

I concur. The 510 is a sexy car indeed...and with speed, good paint, and good wheels I'd own it in a heartbeat. :sly:
 
Gil
Cars that are faster than they look-(Old Dodge Polaras with 440's, Chevy Biscaynes with 427's, Fairlanes with 390's)

Manual transmissions, with appropriate clutch effort, and short throws between gears.

Sunroofs,

Posi-traction burnouts.

Gil knows all that is good 👍

I'd also like to add that I'm a sucker for early 60's stuff (like 60-65) and stacked headlights (like the 67 Fodr lineup).

Also a sucker for twin engine cars.
 
A few i forgot to mention....the round headlights of the older and newest 911's, the sound of the air cooled 911's ( something has gone amuck with the sound of the liquid cooled ones ) Seeing a car round a corner quickly and seeing almost no body roll....thats hot. Older british roadsters that still have original looking leathers exterior straps on them.
