OT: Favorite classic cars?
I was going through my classic car book and drooling over the beautiful cars. I was curios what classic cars do others here like. Here is my top 5 list--If I could find/afford these cars:

It's hard for me to really narrow it down, so I'll do 5 domestic and 5 foreign...
Domestic:
1) 1963 Corvette coupe w/ the L84

2) Ford GT40

3) 1969 Firebird 400

4) C4 ZR-1

5) 1965 Mustang fastback

Foreign (though definitely not as old, more like the supercars I group up admiring)
1) Bugatti EB-110

Worst as far as what?
Aside from the GT40 and maybe the 959 and UrQ, nothing I posted was really a noteworthy performer... but that has little to do with what makes classic domestics and exotics, well, "classics"

countach was a complete piece of crap, it did nothing well
the jag was about 50 thousand feet long and handles like a tractor with a trailer or two, and the bugatti just doesnt scream super car, more like a half assed attempt at a lambo/mclaren competitor. Just my opinion though.
