Some of you are listing extremely high priced muscle cars....that Challenger is like a 6 figure car. If you have that kind of cash why don't you own it anyways? I thought the Fox was the poor man's play toy?

I could own a C5 vette for what i have invested in my fox

Yeah but you're talking long term investment, not plunking it down all at once. If we're talking dream cars then chalk me up for a Thunderbolt, a low miles GNX (hell they've sold on ebay recently for 90k), a Dodge Hemi Dart, a Baldwin Motion Phase 3 '70 454 Camaro and why not throw in a '69 Boss 429 to round out the bunch. I'd also like to have a garage/storage full of 427 Cammer engines for those rainy day builds.

I did large chunks, 3K+ investments at a time, if there was no mustang i would have just saved for a while and bought a used C5 i only started the build April 25th of last year, and it'll be cool seeing as it will have the stuff on it for Knotts on April 25th, thats a pretty cool anniversary to me

This car was my obsession when I was 10. Shortly there-after I was lured away by the sweet charms of the beautiful Mustang. Still a soft spot in my heart for a TC.

That was the best Ford of the 80's! 200hp & 30mpg highway, 4 wheel disc ABS, and actually could handle turns.

05' Lotus Elise. Stock 190 h.p, 1900 lbs. As close to a slot car that you can get. Great power to weight. A few mods later and you have 210whp in a under 2K lb package! Having driven several of them, I can honestly say that there is no better handling car outside of $250K in the world!

Ok at first glance you may not be impressed but I rebuilt this from the ground up. 16v Turbo VW - 300 horses in a 1800 pound car

I can respect that, I have owned 4 VW's, & my current DD is a clean 86 Jetta GLI... any more pics?

Hmmmmm... Life without Stangs? Lets see.....


The 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS396 is my all time favorite muscle car, but this LS7 swapped pro touring example would be the ultimate package....














I have always had a soft spot for the E39 M5.... The sleeperish look, comfort, & stance are the 1st thing that attract me to these cars, but the 400hp DOHC 5.0 V8 with 6 speed manual doesn't hurt either....



















Audi RS4... This is the ultimate 4 door performance sedan IMO... 420 hp/320tq, 6 speed manual, AWD, & in a comfortable & badass looking package. This car has the perfect factory stance IMO...











American car interior can't compare to the fit & finish of these cars IMO...
