Best Looking Currently Produced American Car

[SeanPlunk]

My Vote goes for the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

or the current Corvette Z06

Almost as nice as the S7, definatly better than the corvette

[SeanPlunk]

I said currently produced - the GT is out of production. Way to go rookie :)

[vonage6591]

yeah well, it still gets my vote.

Thems fight'n words. \:| I don't know, the S7 is cool in a spaceship sort of way, but I've never been on a spaceship either. The GT is classic, but only the Corvette has much of anything to do with reality.

[Vettezuki]

And let's not forget Panoz. While it looks a bit Euro and gasp, uses a Ford driveline, it's still pretty darn good looking. The front end sort of oddly reminds me of a Studebaker Starliner, one of my favorite old-timer cars.

If we throw out the GT, then my vote goes to the S7. The Modern look of the corvette just isn't as exotic. Besides, which would you rather own?

I don't think I'd say no if someone wanted to give me an S7, and if I were endlessly rich I'd have both just to have an American Supercar. However, if for whatever reason I could only have one, it'd be the Vette no question. From the reviews I've read, the S7 is kind of a wild beast that is difficult and to a certain degree unpleasant to drive, you can and many people do, drive the ZO6 as daily driver. But that wasn't really the question I guess. As for looks, I'm pretty biased. I guess it'd be like asking someone if their children or somebody else's kids were better looking.

[vonage6591]

That is true, however the S7 has that exotic super car look to it and to me that is more appealing than the Z06.

ZO6 Hands Down.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the cars posted. I must say though I think it's interesting that nobody has even mentioned the Viper. It's kind of sad to me that the Viper went from pretty much one of the baddest American cars ever made in the late 90's to not even mentioned now....

[Chate]

Vette!

Its gorgeous, practical and wont cost a crapload to maintain (vs S7).

Its my ideal woman in car form.

[Chate]

Oh, and vipers need to be vaporized. Overpriced and bulky. Eww.

[gunfish]

S7 gets my vote, but I agree with Von. That GT is (was) a beaut!

[Leedom]

I agree with you Sean, the viper was talked about once upon a time as a great american muscle car and now has pretty much faded into obscurity. Hell any car that can spawn its own TV show has to be around for a long time, yet the viper has pretty much faded away.

Why did you note post one of these Sean... Like big, bad Ben I am biased on the Ford products but anything with Shelby on it has to be mentioned. It may not be a high production car but it should be mentioned.

[Chate]

Haha thanks to fordfreak for bringing this back up top, my post about the vette was feb 1 07, 13 days before i bought the C5! Awwww i feel all warm and fuzzy inside:bigthumbsup:

But, since we're talking about it how about the bugatti killer? http://www.shelbysupercars.com/gallery/g10-8.jpg

Its sad that vw spent all that money to make the veyron with their 'we lose money on each one blah blah' and all the hype and what not, just to get stomped by an american...at what, like 2/3 the price...

[SeanPlunk]

Off topic, but is your Corvette fixed Chate :huh:

[Chate]

Oh, yeah so turns out when i came home last wknd, i popped the hood and took off the plastic cover and noticed there was oil leaking from a rubber elbow. I was like wtf is this, my dad said, wtf is this and he soon discovered the rubber elbow was heavily degraded. I went out and bought a new elbow, and as i went to pull the tube to put it on, we discovered the tubing was degrading in multiple spots and as i "inspected" the whole damn thing came off...

Turns out the entire PCV valve+ hosing is a single mo-friggn piece for my car so i couldnt just buy it at kragen, i had to call around to dealers (turns out its a special order product) but luckily chevy in westminster had one which they sold me, so ultimately, we replaced that crap and now the whistling sound and the smell i thought was exhaust leak related is gone (so problem fixed...for now)


my car's still slow tho.:bang:

Ahahahahaha! J/K

The Mosler MT900, this car gives me the chills. You don't want to know the things that I'd do to own one of these.

And Sean, about the Vipers, if you don't consider the Mosler to be a real car, as many don't, my next pick would be the Hennessey Venom Vipers.

I'm not a big fan of superlatives, and when it comes to aesthetics, they are usually pointless assertions made by simple minds.

So here's my vote for some great contenders.

Factory Five Racing GTM Supercar
Yes, it's a kit car. The kit is $20k and with the additional required parts will range between $30-$60k total. At the upper end, they can be shocking hi performance cars.

Another beautiful American Made car, even if it is a boutique maker, is Panoz. I'm partial to the GTLM.

I would agree if it was primer black.:laugh:


Hey, I made it.:bigthumbsup:

Maybe you could just Scotch Brite the factory paint and get the same effect. :huh: :laugh:

It's just too damn bad the "NEW" Shelbys are so damn fat. It's not like the old days when the 66 Shelbys were around 2,800 lbs not 3,900 lbs.:judge:

Hey, made it here.:beer:

Thanks for the "backup" on Sunday. Made the trip home easier on the mind.:)

[Leedom]

It was my pleasure. I do have to admit it was hard chasing a bunch of Chevy's in a GMC. Goes against my nature. :laugh:

Yea, when you drive a Ford you get used to Chevys trying to keep up.:smack:

What's behind you does not matter.:sm_laughing:

I meant to ask you, how did you get roped into to drving the chase truck?

[Leedom]

I just wanted to get out and thought why not. It was fun and nice to meet all the guys. Besides, I am too nice to say no if asked.

So, now that you've seen those Vettes on that run, what did you think of them (I know mine is way kool:judge:)?:sm_laughing:


Can't hurt my feeling-I'm a Ford guy.:bigthumbsup:

[Leedom]

I liked them all. I have always had a soft spot for vettes. I really like the late 70's/early 80's vettes like Ben's to be honest. Love the lines and the fenders. Don't get all huffy though Glen I like your too. :)

I'm a FORD guy and own a Vette. I've always said a Vette is not really a Chevy. But, Hell I used to own a 66 Shelby GT 350 -sold it and kept the Vette. What the hell do I know?:huh:

Let me understand this. You're a Ford guy . . . who sold an original Shelby GT 350 and kept your Vette. You've got issues. :smack:

Yea, the same issues I've always had..............WOMEN. Everything that has been screwed up has had a woman at the root of it.:bang:

I had to sell the Shelby (1980) to keep her from trying to get both the Vette and Shelby.:tantrum:
