...but then again... since when have I ever been rational?

HOLY SHIT OMG DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT

This is awesome.

E28 really is a great car, it just needs a good engine (anything else than M10B18); so a BLACK 535i with BLACK everything and HUGE Alpina wheels is AWESOME.

Awesome, or not awesome? (Please excuse the picture quality.)

The wheels kinda suck, would've looked better with black 350z wheels, or stock black wheels. But it is cool.

 

[Crazyjeeper]

Better blacked out like that then all chromed out.

That awesome C3 belongs to an Italian

Smog-strangled smallblocks aren't pretty

Looks like someone's going to be honoring Bob Tullius and his Group 44 cars. Well deserved - Tullius is the man that kicked open the doors for Jaguar's return to racing. The irony is that Tullius is *American*, not British, and brought home quite a lot of American (as well as not a few Euro) victories, first for BL and then for Jaguar; on top of which, he was far *more* successful than the actual factory teams for almost two decades.

Some believe that if Tullius hadn't had the racing success he'd had with Jaguar models, TWR would never have gotten interested in the XJS, and between them there would never have been the successful IMSA or LeMans efforts.

Edit: Sorry about all the pics, but successful race cars are automatically awesome, IMHO.

yeah I know it's from the previous page but CHRISTFUCK I have never felt more "do want" than I do now.
I don't even care if it has a 4banger inside, that looks so freaking awesome

Do you honestly believe that THAT has a 4 banger. I was thinking more along the lines of 427, or 383 or something.

They didn't put the Iron Duke in absolutely everything?

 

[JipJopJones]

No, afraid not

I think the smallest engine you could get in a corvette of that generation was a 305.

And that was a California only option.

This is the reason I love american muscle cars. Imagine hearing the discussions over at the dealerships:

"No sir, I am afraid you can not have anything under 5 liters"

Awesome.
