This is a clean Daytona, but I always prefered the regular Chargers. Correct me if I am wrong, but the "aero package" didn't make the street Daytona faster, did it?

Though more aerodynamic, the street Daytona and Superbird were no faster than the Charger and Roadrunner they were based on, as they still had the same engines and gear ratios.

Yeah, muscle cars' top speeds were limited by gearing not aerodynamics most of the time.

Well, In all fairness...Lamborghini did help a little bit with the design of the Intrepid...and then Dodge ruined it with wrong wheel drive and sluggish automatic trannys.

512 miles on the Maser...what a shame. If I had that car Id drive it everyday of my life, but first install cameras to see the blind spots.

^ Hasn't a reversing camera been available on the Gallardo for a few years now? Since the Gallardo SE came out I believe.

Well I would make them smaller, and put the on the side of the car too to get rid of the blind spots there. Id rather some ugly looking camera rather than cutting someone off or bumping into something.

I know it's not eBay, but here's a unique opportunity to get hold of a piece of automotive history, the Porsche 956 (chassis number 956 009) raced by Derek Bell and Stefan Bellof in the 1983, 1984 and 1985 World Sports car Championship.

http://www.classicdriver.de/upload/cars/1337/1752273/bigc.jpg

Then there is the Lancia Martini LC2 Ferrari Tipo racing car, fitted with the Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione engine, a 2,6 litre twin turbo V8 with 864 hp.
