What the Datsun 240Z, wouldnt call it one of the most famous Jap cars, but still an interesting car never the less.

It started a whole line of Z cars mate, ok maybe not famous but definatly iconic. so much so that nissan tried to buy as many of the original 240's as they could then restore and sell again a few years back

Mine are all realistic.  All under £20,000 except for the Model "A" which would be £20-£25,000.

All mine are American but If I listed a "Top 10" there'd be some Non-American in there.

Autobacs Garaiya RS-01 (bet none of you have ever heard of one of these)




Looks a little like a Ford Probe...

WTF how dare you use the P word in front of me.

looks nothing like a POS probe,

G-unit is the closest at the moment with the elise not the smut though.

For peoples information it is a corroboration between Tommy Kiara and Autobacs. It was based on the Tommy Kiara ZZII and I believe uses a Nissan engine in an aluminium apaceframe with a GRP body, rather like a TVR or Noble M12.

This picture doesn't do it justice, from the front it has a bit of a Farbound-Elise-Carerra GT flavor to it and in my eyes the rest of it is all good to.

They race 300BHP versions of this in the JGTC and it regularly kicks ass against 500BHP Ferraris, supras, NSX's, 350Z's, Lambos, Mclaren F1's etc. this is where I first saw one and have ever since been a fan.

There is an outlet in England being set up at the moment to sell these schweet rides but in comparison to the Japanese price they are extortionate.

I've ordered 4 of each to allow for buggering about if required.

Here's my five but I've always had exspensive tastes so you can forget £20K
Also the bias is towards newer cars because actual classics generally drive like crap, ever driven an E type  

New Z06 Corvette.
71 second Gen Z28 Camaro.
73 Buick Rivera GS.
95 Astro with race suspension ( well actually any suspension ) & a big big big block motor.
Dodge SRT10 crew cab.

HardRockCamaro

The autobacs doodah looks like a scaled down McLaren F1 to me.

Shifty

We have a winner,

Indeed it does, when it's all tricked out in full race trim it looks very much like a Mclaren F1.

Congratulations Mr HardRock you have won today's mystery star prize,

Some Eye spoons,

Put these on to catch your eye balls as they pop out when Keira Knightly walks past.

OK thought I'd have a go....There are lots but these are a few of the top of my head.....

Honda NSX 3.2 98-
Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT Twin Turbo V6
Dodge Viper 94 RT/10 0r 97 GTS Coupe
AC Cobra 427
Dodge Charger 68/69

All reasonably realistic I think.....
