Out of those choices, I voted for the GT.
But I would really love a brand new Rubicon.

Hm. Well... I'm not too familiar with supercars, but I would have to vote for the SLR McLaren.

eh...if you say so. The block would split at around 900, the stock pistons at around 600. 1400whp is more like 1700hp at the crank. Ford GT, modular engine = more aftermarket parts than all the others combined, for 1/4 the price. |

Keep the Eurotrash.
Dream car? 1956 Chevy Nomad, 2 door fire engine red .030 over 327, single 4bbl tunnel ram, Holley 750 double pumper, 462 heads, engine innards to match 2:2 Muncie, Mr. Gasket vertical gate shifter, 11" clutch narrowed older 12 bolt rear end with a set of highway gears and a set of 4:11s 50s stuffed up underneath, classic Cragar S/S mags all around. And now for something completely different: If I couldn't have the Nomad, I'll take an original Hummer with a diesel, custom U.S.M.C. paint job. (camo) |

How about 1 of 2 shelby cobras that came from the factory with a 427 and a pair of paxton superchargers. Man that thing would out run everything but a gas station, if you could ever get traction.

I agree with gamesniper, keep your Eurotrash.
'70 Superbee hardtop coupe. 440 stroked up to 500ci, Indy 440-1 or SR heads, 2x4 650 Edelbrock AVS carbs on progressive linkage...or a MoTec EFI setup. A833 tranny running an inline stick or a Tremec T-56. Either with a McLeod dual-disc clutch. Pair of Dana 60s, one for the street with 3.54 gears and one to horse around at the track, with 4.27 gears. Cragar S/S 15x7 rims up front, widened steelies (15x10-12) out back. |

Easy: Saleen S7. Modern european supercar style, AMERICAN big block power. A very close second would be the Ford GT.

never mind the original ford GT40, which whupped porsche and ferrari. Or the fact that the Ford GT has won every comparison test that it's been in. |

the GT40 was not a production car
love to see the comparison tests that any production Ford GT has been in... I haven't seen one. eta: not to mention that what happened with the GT40 in the 60s has very little relevance to a modern production supercar |

Incorrect, legal boy. They had to make a certain of street cars in order to race back then. If you bought one, they flew you to England and the seats and pedals were custom fitted for you. |

Not a dream, well for my brother at least. He wanted to restore my moms old car. 1971 Ford Torino GT. So we went down to TN to get another one.cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7917186373&category=6783&sspagename=WDVW#ShippingPayment
I wanted to keep tracked and made a little page on my site. Here is the project to date. FPS-Torino
