Probably the Escort, toss a 302 in it and make it a sleeper. Capri was close though.

Would you ever take a car and actually leave it stock and unspoilt?

Depends on the car. But where is the fun in that? :sly:

I like to be different. 👍
 
Duster because it's a Dacia!! :p

Old French Cars: I'll have the Peugeot since it's probably the most civilised.

Dacia Duster

Lada Niva

GOOD NEWS, I'll choose the Dacia Duster, because it's a newer vehicle and probably easier to live with. Also, I never liked Lada.

Gotta take the C1 Corvette. I absolutely love them.
 
Chrysler Atlantic Concept or Audi quattro Spyder Concept?
 
AC, but would much rather have a different model.
 
AC Ace vs Chevrolet Corvette Conv. (C1); I'll choose the Corvette.

Chrysler Atlantic vs Audi Quattro Spyder Concept; the Audi, it's a better looking car and I think it would perform better too.
 
AC Ace vs Chevrolet Corvette C1 - AC Ace, I've never been a fan of the C1 'Vettes.

1. AC Ace
2. C1 Corvette
 
Sierra XR4i for me. Modern turbo Volvo head and surprise a ton of people. I have always wanted a XR4i but every time one was for sale I didn't have the $$ or room for another car.

AC Ace for sure.
 
740 Turbo for sure. The LTD wasn't as much fun even with the V8.
 
The Volvo. That's like choosing between ascension to a god-like status and mucking out sheep sheds.

You took the words right out of my mouth and arranged them in a concise yet descriptive sentence.
 
Volvo Turbo Wagon vs Ford Country Squire - I would never buy any of these cars for speed related purposes, as they are intended for mobility and luxury. Which of those cars is the biggest? Which of those cars is the most luxurious? Which of those cars is the most comfortable? Which of those cars looks the best? Which of those cars is most relaxing to drive (no worries about wheelspin, etc.)? I'll take the Country Squire. Many people will disagree, but that's my choice and I'm happy with it.

1. Country Squire
2. Turbo Wagon
 
Country squire. Hands down. Because big v8.

Its a '88+ car so its EFI Speed density non roller 5.0. IIRC the 351W was only a option on the earlier CFI cars.

Yup. Shame it's a non roller motor though, not a hard conversion though, just a few holes to drill. I prefer the early 70s models that had 460s.

Very true, get some link bar lifters to use standard base circle cams and away you go. More of a Small block guy my self. Back on topic those Volvo wagons rock tho. I had a 740 Turbo auto and it was a great car, I regret selling it.

As am I. I've always had a small bock preference. That was a mistake we made when we swapped in this last 351W....not converting it to a roller motor. Wasn't a roller ready motor but still. Regardless it doesn't really make too much of a difference in a street car unless you want to spin an obsurd rpm. Makes it a bit easier.



Anyways, would you rather have:


2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1


Vs



1999 Pontiac Trans Am WS6
 
Mach 1 as long as it was Azure Blue
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Azure Blue.

Granted the LS1 WS6 T/A was one of the few GM cars I would own.
 
Ford LTD C.S. vs Volvo 740 Turbo; I'm not a fan of LTDs much, so I'll take the Volvo. Plus, I'm growing to love volvos and I've heard that they're very well built.

2003 Ford Mustang Mach I vs 1997 Pontiac Firebird T.A. WS6; I'll take one Mach I Mustang please in Azure Blue.

I choose the Elgrand, because shag carpet. Shag freakin' carpet.

God bless that Nissan is Ugly. I guess town and country.
 
Nissan Elgrand vs Chrysler Town & Country; Uh, I was hoping that I would forget about that eyesour of a Nissan, but someone remind me of it again. I'm choosing the Chrysler, I also been in a couple modern Town & Countries/Grand Caravans and they're actually quite nice to ride in.
 
Town and Country. Always liked Chrysler vans, though preferably the older models. I find the new ones have a very stiff ride vs the older models which have a very soft ride.
