T-Bird Turbo Coupe - With a manual it had more power than any engine offered in the Firebird S/E, and it's a more interesting and more rounded car in my opinion.
Triumph GTR4 - Prettier, rarer, and RWD. A bit traditional but I do like a TR4.
200SX - More interesting and I'd wager it was better to drive and better built.
1955 Crown Vic - Seems kind of obvious. Look at it! (Keeping in mind that driving a P71 is no more practical in the UK than driving a 1955 Crown Vic)
 
Panther for me... just looks so badass. The original Crown Vic is neat as well, don't get me wrong.
