The 288 ever had the cachet the F40 enjoyed, even if it was the basis for the latter's birth, and was arguably the better looker...

@expat_brit: Very interesting and technical explanation. Thankfully I take physics in school so I do have an idea of what you're talking about.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe the Z32 300ZX was much more unloved than the Z33 350Z? IIRC the general paying public thought this car much too expensive, and hence the low sales figures... I'm sorry, but this list is pants

@Dominic Chan: Nice, but I prefer it pre-facelift

Lotus Europa - who wants an overweight Elise? It's good, but can't hold a candle to the Chapman original.

The Caterham 21: essentially a Seven with a more 'conventional' body

@Dominic Chan: Nice one, 'guv

@j.neil.davidson: Nice to see another first-gen Viper fan, though the GTS is much more my cup of tea ;)

There are simply waaaay too many to choose from, but if there was one totally bad-ass car that I'd kill to see, it'd be this... My dream charger would be a black '69 with Torq-Thrusts and a blower sticking out of the hood, a la Vin Diesel's.

I just love the way the car became the perfect basket for all the pumpkin pieces

@evoCS: +1

It's a V8 wagon; what more could you want?

@Tom Joslin: Torq-Thrusts for me too, TYVM. That is a seriously fine looking car you got there

@S_Mazza: So basically if he'd dumped the clutch at high enough RPMs to get the wheels spinning, he'd have been fine?

Something I want to ask about the Corvette burnout - how is it that he could fry the clutch with the tires going no where?

@sadfsdff: Why on Earth would something like this get Approved??

@Fat Tire: Eye bleach!!!!

@west-coaster: semi-sleazy guy and his TOTALLY FRIGGIN AWESOME mechanic

@Number_Six: That should be a QoTD! Or has it been done already?
