Few things are less intimidating than a race livery on a production car that's obviously nowhere near the intensity of the race model. I mean, stock wheels? Stock ride height? Stock interior? Really? The race stickers just play up how beige these cars were. Huge, HUGE CP, and that's coming from an Earnhardt fan.…

Kimi to car:

Killdozer is not impressed.

I know about all the problems with these. Still want one, badly.

Nibbles got you. What is it?

The styling holds up for me, and a LSwhatever / 6-speed / Ford 9-inch swap shouldn't be too tough... add this to the twenty-seven-car "keep an eye out for one in good cosmetic shape with a trashed drivetrain" list that I better not ever act on...

Nah, you don't need to regret this. There may be "better" options but it's still damn cool and not something you need to try to defend.

Hey, it was 15 years ago. Don't take my car guy card!

...right there with you, man. I STILL lust after G-bodies, especially the Monte Carlo SS Aero, way more than I should (which is not at all.) I blame Dale Earnhardt.

Dear BMW:

I love these, because they just make the world a happier place.

My God, how did I miss this? Winner, right here.

I'll see your Warthog and raise you a Rhino.

They don't seem like they ought to work, aesthetically... but then you see one in person, and DAMN, that car has presence and serious swagger. Still not pretty, but menacing as hell, and it just looks so confident. I like this answer.

You... you... you called... a race-prepped E9 coupe... UGLY???? Sir, I take exception to that! One does not speak of such an elegant and sophisticated lady in such crass terms. Pistols at dawn!

Gonna disagree with you... the Z3 M Coupe was Sven, the awkward German guy at the disco who's unfashionably dressed and trying too hard but goes home with a 10 and her twin sister. The Z4 M Coupe was the aforementioned 10. Sex on wheels, and I will not consider any other opinion.

Dude, that's the theme song for this QOTD. It is now playing in my head as I browse the thread.

While I disagree that it's ugly, "It looks like it's about to snort you" made soda come out of my nose. Well played.

To contribute: Nthing the BMW M Coupe, and nominating the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16V Evolution II. It looks like someone crashed an old Merc into a PepBoys, but everything on there serves a purpose, and that makes it gorgeous.

Okay, in browsing two pages of this I have seen the Ford RS200, Isdera Commendatore, Ferrari F40, Spyker C8 and Lancia Stratos nominated. I guess the mystery of why they put Braille on ATM keypads has been solved.
