    The Esprit.. what a car. Just a 2.2 engine IIRC! The Dino... oh yes.

    2.2 with a turbo, 210 hp in a light aerodynamic body, road tests of the time 0-60 in 4.6 secs, not bad! My everyday car is just as real world fast (if not faster), but driving the Esprit is a classic experience, from the feel of being laid back horizontal in a pimpy cream interior to the looks you get, I love it, off to the Le Mans classic in it again this year.

    Edit: My dad's not dead yet and the Esprit is not yet mine! I just get to drive it from time to time.

    Nothing looks like an Esprit. Maybe a DeLorean, but that was utter crap.

    Dont laugh but i absolutely love the BMW M5, closely followed by the Ferrari F430. The noise from the 5L V10 in the M5 is one of the greatest sounds in the world at 8000+rpm.

    Absolutely fantastic :D

    250GTO probably is the best looking but also like AC Cobra. But just to be a little individual how about a Nissan 280Z final production in the greatest year the world has ever seen Supersonic! :oops: 8)

    Guys I work for BMW and can tell you that the M5 (E60) is an absolute rocket !

    It drives like the old M5 (E39) then it comes alive and goes mental,

    I don't have a favourite car anymore :cry: now that I fix cars for a living I can't stand the site of them. Although...........

    I do like the new Ford Mustang (hired one in Florida, just love that sit back and press the pedalness of American cars!!)
