Solo2 cars you admire

Now that we have this great function where we can add pics to our threads, I thought it would be a good time to discuss what cars you admire.
Although I don't see these cars too often, I have a great sense of fondness when I do:
John Williams 240Z: loud muffler, loud brakes, and it's carborn-fiber jewelry
John Fendel 68 Mustang: The nicest example of shiny wheels on a Mustang in that OG mixed matched style.
Mike Nakata's Supra: Finest example of it's breed.
Jason Uyeda: Awsome ITB's on an S2K.
Doug Teulie VW Scirocco: The paint on the inside is nicer that the paint on the outside of some people's car; including my own.
John Edwards 850 Fiat Sedan: So cute, Sooo cute!
And those Ferrari 360's: The full-throttle sound is like porn for my ears!
Am I the only one who comes to the events to see these cars as well as to compete?
That's it for now..

Chris O'Donnell's DM Lotus Elan. Chris was visiting with Keisel Saturday, brought back all the memories of the greatest autocross car ever.
The old days of Tom Berry thrashing the RX-3 or Grivas launching it on to two wheels.
The Larsenmobile.
Mark Huffman's Elan.
And of course Keisel's Kermit.
More.... I loved Puertas clean E30 M3
Stagnaro's CP GT350 is a dream
OBlenes RX7 was incredible
Watching James Gunn Wilkerson pull the front wheels out of tight turns in the GT2 made me feel sorry for Tom Berry.

Seriously, I think the cool cars are a major part of the sport. Over the years we have seen some very cool cars run:
Sport Veloce
Original Minis
Lotus 23s
Mosler
Various Ferrari and Lambos
Lotus Elans

I admire 1 of Taka Aono's ex-Solo2 Corollas...
... when it's running in 1 piece.
And you'd think the 2003 CSCC STS Champion (2.5RS) would stop running this damn car into things...
I guess Hiro gets all his driving advice from Taka...
