This is for the top cars/trucks within reason that you like a lot but wouldn't want to actually own one for what ever reason.

Typhoons - bad ass trucks, but even more niche than LT1s, and way more expensive.

C4 ZR1s - Some of my favorite Corvettes ever built, incredible for their time. But some what pricey for the performance compared to a modern Corvette. I still love to look at them at cars and Coffee and talk to the owners.

MKIV Supra - Awesome cars, but I could never see paying what they cost.

93 Cobras - Really cool cars, but I couldn't justify the premium over a regular GT.

"Wanna dig race?" Said no supra owner ever...i think supras are over rated...the only use they have it a top end car...a car with half the horse power of a 800 hp supra would leave it in the dust off the line






Just my personal opinion

The Supra's aren't chumps, that was a common misconception 10 years ago, just not the case any more. E Kanoo from Saudi Arabia has an IRS Supra in the 7s and another non IRS in the 6s. Damn impressive since they use a factory cast block and head, the only thing that comes in faster with a factory block and head is a John Mevovitz's mod Ford which runs 6.19@235. Fastest LS1? 6.7@203, uses an LSX block and and TFS heads.

I've often thought about getting a LTX C4, but I just think I could get over the lack of interior room. Although it'd be a hell of a sleeper, I've never ran into a mean C4... EVER. A ZR1 would be tits.

There's been a couple down here, ones a 385" LT1, M6, Stock rear, car runs high 9s in the 14x range. You never saw people really breaking the manuals in them, I think the fastest any ones gone on the factory IRS is 8s? No one really builds them up but I think they are a great platform.

I have a friend who put an LS1 in a 240sx. It's a pretty sick little car, it definitely shits and gits
