RE: Car of the Decade
For 90s I'll have to go with the LS1/2JZ
For 2000s I think the 03/04 Cobra deserves a spot up there. It may not be as fast stock as a Z06/ZR1 but so far it's definitely been modded to hell and back.

RE: Car of the Decade
I don't know a whole lot about the 60's and 70's, so I'll start with 80's.
80's- Buick GNX--Hands down. Fox bodies are 2nd though. F-bodies were worthless until the 20th Anniversary T/A's with the 3.8 Turbo.
90's- LT1 for early and LS1 for late
2000's- Terminator--The C6's are nice. But, they're more expensive and really aimed at a different crowd.

RE: Car of the Decade
Hrrmmmm... kind of a toughie but I'll give it a shot..
40's: 49 merc.. I gotta agree with this one.. lol
50's: I'd say 57' vette.
60's: This is definitely a hard choice.. if we're going strictly production cars I'd have to say the 67 Shelby GT500 and/or the 67 A/C Shelby Cobra.. Though the 67 Ferarri 250 GTB is just sex on wheels..
70's: Not too many cars out of the 70's that I really dug, but I will say that I love the 78/79 Bandit style T/A's. The 71 Mach 1 is a VERY close 2nd..
80's: I never dug the 80's vette's, but they're still close. All in all I would have to say it's a tie between the F-40 ferarri and the old 'vette's.
90's: I know I'm gonna get kicked in the nuts for this one, but I still LOVE the 95/96 Viper GTS..
2000-present: There are so many good cars out now it's hard to say, but for me, the 01'/'02 LS1 powered formula T/A's, the 2000 Cobra R, the Mach 1, and the Z06 Vette's are all up there. I don't think I could pick between 'em. lol

I'll let this go cause you're an SRT-4 owner and you guys are pretty goofy [8D], but lets try to keep mainly lists

I grew up in the 80 racing on front street in philly. The 5.0 was a dream come true for usstreet racers (Fast & Cheap)so I'll cast a vote for the fox!

60's and 70's -- Challenger/Charger/Cuda/SSJ Cobra Jet
80's -- Fox
90's -- TT Supra
00's -- Terminator...
The Terminator is just a better deal then your average C6... and even the Z, imo.. Much cheaper, easier to mod, and you can let people sit in the back

50s Vette

Yes, I had an 87 Stang GT and it was a great car, but people seem to ignore the 85 change in the Vette which brought it into the world class arena

What?!?!?!?! The 85ish Vettes were absolute dogs. Lucky to break into the 14's. I won't even touch the last of the C3 cars.....[:'(]
