Which car decade would you relive?

lv2xlr8 · February 20th, 2007, 4:00 PM

I searched the forums and didn't find a similar topic. Basically I'm wondering if you guys could relive a certain decade of cars, which would it be?

My vote would be for the 60's.

Oh and add pictures of the generation you favor if you'd like.

If you restrict yourself to new cars from those decades, I'd go out on a limb and choose the 90s. As soon as everyone pulled out of the ridiculously tacky 80s, they did mostly great jobs on everything: Mercedes 500E and E55, second-generation M5, VW Corrado, every turbocharged Japanese sporty coupe, the last of the Camaros and Firebirds, F355, Diablo, and the rebirth of Alfa and Maserati. This might be because I was growing up during the 90s, but I never knew of half those cars while I was in the 90s, so that must say something.

I'd stick in the present. Which means i can have cars from all those decades plus the cool ones from the present images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Sixties, fantastic style, and some real breakthroughs in automotive technology but pre-gas crisis. Also, no EPA.

Donington · February 20th, 2007, 4:59 PM

It's gotta be sixties.

epp_b · February 20th, 2007, 5:20 PM

I'm with Labcoatguy. The 90's did have a lot of great and really fast cars. And stuff it with traction control!

araracd · February 20th, 2007, 8:16 PM

I'd take the 80's mostly because of some of the outrageous supercars that came up, and also because of the Group B rally car descendants.

the 80's.. only for the group B rally cars!

1930s, although the 1960s come pretty close.

Just a few diamonds from that time:

watto · February 20th, 2007, 10:47 PM

The 80's of course! Due to two reasons.

1: Group B rally cars
2: The totally insane supercars
Oh, a 3rd: The Porsche 959

Magnet · February 21st, 2007, 2:36 AM

A bit hard to say, seeing as we've already had cars from from each era, and we've lived the present as well, seeing what can be done with technology. I think with a lot of things we tend to idealise everything, and forget the reality.

It would be like looking back on today twenty years from now, thinking how awesome the 2000s were because of the Veyron.

I dunno though, 50's and 60's are really close for me but I chose 50's because of the vette. Also I just want to go back to the dinner era in America and be hung up in the car culture.

1960's.
