I have a top down angle of the exact same car he posted for a headers picture set as my background and I still chose something else! StormDrain posted:Of course only one of those could I afford to operate. Yeah, who wouldn't want a 959 or an F40?! But I think a lot of us thought of the question like "and you stand a chance to own one someday".

Question 5: On the topic of cars from the 1980s, there are a number of cars from that era (Buick Grand National, Porsche 911, E30 M3 to name a few) that are rapidly appreciating in value on the collector market. I think this non-supercar from the 1980s could follow those three in that trend.   Question 6: When we're all fat and smug and doddering around the Last-Ever Barrett-Jackson Car Auction of 2056, this non-supercar that's on sale today will fetch the highest bid of all.    Answers soon...

It seems the more practical application of these cars is to be a cheap track rat that gets gutted. That way less stuff breaks. The real killer is that if you do track them, then even more "solved" issues pop up. Namely the failure prone rear lower control arms and shifter bushings causing moneyshifts. Also struts up front is lol. MrChips posted:Take solace in the fact that you aren't even close to the only one who did. I just realized I did, too.

Countach or 959 def are other great 80's answers.

OK I made a couple mistakes; they will be fixed. On the other hand if you don't like how I grouped the answers, I really don't loving care what you think. I group them as they come in; if for example you say "50th Anniversary Ford Mustang", you're not going in with the generic Mustang answers because you were perhaps overly specific.
