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

You're the one with the front wheel drive biased car with the engine hanging out in front of the front wheels. images/smilies/tongue.gif

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

airmenair · April 9th, 2008, 2:45 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, 4:11 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, 4:19 AM

Mine out so far: Honda S2000, Bel Air, 50's Impala

Still in it (to win it) The second AND fourth gen (WOW!) camaros, datsun 240Z.

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, 8:08 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, 8:21 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, 8:26 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, 9:14 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, 6:13 PM

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

I wonder who else voted for the 330.

Yes; you told me to in the PM and there weren't any other new GT500 votes.

6 and 7 point cars will come later tonight (give me time, it takes me 3 hours or so to do one post of updates!)
