It must be on the list somewhere!

You're not the only one who likes those. My mom had a red 1979 Z/28 when I was a kid. It left a big impression. images/smilies/smile.gif

^-- Yea, dont talk to me about understeer, audi is the king of crap handling based on horrible under steer.

airmenair · April 9th, 2008, 02:45 AM

I thought I might be alone on the Lancia Stratos, good to see some people with taste! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

So two of mine are down (GT350 and Stratos).

Maybe its just me, but voting for retro cars seems counter-intuitive. If they were inspired by something older vote for that! I mean if they are going to go ahead and modernize an old design then the original had to be good right? images/smilies/wacko.gif

Or thats at least how I see it...

Actually in my experience it is very neutral even through tricky bends at high speeds. I tested it mostly on a short switchback downhill we have in Staten Island. A friend of mine with an S4 tested it on some longer downhills and also reported no problems (his a bit crazier than I am so when he says something handles well you can take his word for it). Also pretty much every review I read says that the car handles very well.

Granted I have the B6 platform so it's not as nice as the B8(or is it still considered the B7?) that the new A/S5 is based on with the engine further back and a 40:60 front:rear torque split but still pretty good.

Gman333-X-ferrari · April 9th, 2008, 04:11 AM

Wow, was I the only one who voted for the Reventón? images/smilies/mellow.gif

Two of mine are out - Reventón, 4 pts and the Challenge Stradale, 5 pts...

edit: images/smilies/lol.gif

at the DeLorean vote...

MattD1zzl3 · April 9th, 2008, 04:19 AM

What? The 205 was easily the best looking car in it's class at the time, and by far the best handling.

I'm more amazed that someone voted for that vulgar, super-eighties Lagonda Pimpmobile. Seriously, it's the car most likely to make an appearance in a Rick Astley video. He probably owns one. He's ginger. Nuff said.

WellsieTRD · April 9th, 2008, 08:08 AM

So who voted for the Supra and the IS-F? I was under the impression that Toyotas wern't that well liked. Not complaining, I would have voted for the Supra. Bit of a supprise the Lexus made an apperance.

static · April 9th, 2008, 08:21 AM

Nice to see that most of my votes have made to Top-10.
It's actually pretty exciting to see how people have been voting. Sending votes via PM's was a good idea by the way, nobody could influence in peoples votes.

Crazyjeeper · April 9th, 2008, 08:26 AM

I'm wonder who else voted for the 1964 Buick Riviera. I thought I would be the only one for sure images/smilies/blink.gif

DTMracer · April 9th, 2008, 09:14 AM

I wonder why none of mine have showed up yet....

Does that mean I have good taste =P

Red_Bull · April 9th, 2008, 10:32 AM

Mine arent going very well, it has to be said. Seen three of them already out of the five rounds we've had so far...

Still, the seven cars I have left are all pretty impressive...I expect to see them in the top 7 images/smilies/tongue.gif

Final Daihatsu · April 9th, 2008, 12:58 PM

I'm 3 cars down: Swift, Fiesta, Challenger.

I've lost the 350z and TT! images/smilies/sad.gif

And possibly the new mustang? Teeb did you put my vote for the new gt500 in with the new mustang?

CrazyRussian540 · April 9th, 2008, 06:13 PM

My cars that are out: Pontiac Grand Prix & Ferrari 330 America

I wonder who else voted for the 330.
