motion to ban, do I have a second?

At least they don't appear as my avatar!

Yes, there were 99 coupes. IMHO, these were the best looking of all the Diablos. The have a similar instrument cluster and dash as the 6.0 with the exposed headlights. They also have the "shark gill" treatment on the air inlets in front of the rear wheels that were only found on the roadsters.

Palmer...what SMS said. Nissan Skylines are not street legal in the US. To avoid having to do all the safety upgrades and associated expense, some people import the cars and engines seperate, then register as a 'kit car". Helps get around the laws. Still can be tough if you go up against a hardcase. Can save you some $40k in having to upgrade. Heck, if they register an Ariel Atom, why not a Skyline?

Yeah,

Only problem with the kit registration would be to find a low hour 355CH engine/drivetrain.

Im sure there is a way to get around all that stuff though.

Also, i'll go ahead and make a top ten.

1. 355 Challenge
2. Ariel Atom
3. Gallardo Superleggera
4. Diablo 6.0 VT
5. 1995 Ferrari F50
6. 2005 JDM Honda NSX-R
7. Mercedes CLK Black Edition
8. Bugatti Veyron
9. Honda S2000 CR
and
10. BMW E92 M3

Basically all toys.

Alright, I think that this is my first post and I feel I have to post on this one because I've always thought about this. So, here goes the list.......

Rat Rod
1955 Chevy Bel Air (tubbed, 572, blown and stroked) (1)
1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake * (2)
1967 Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible
1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR "King of the Road" (3)
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
1992 Ferrari F40 (4)
1996 McLaren F1 LM (5)
1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster (6)
2001 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0
2004 Porsche Carrera GT (7)
2005 Ford GT (Twin Turbo - 1000hp)(8)
2007 Ariel Atom (9)
2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster
2007 Saleen S7
2007 Hummer H1 Soft Top
2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia (10)
Street Legal Dual Sport PreRunner/Sand Rail w/ long travel suspension

* Since there is really only 1, I'd probably go with a Superformance Shelby Cobra (Roush 460)

Oh man. That was tough for me. If I keep looking at it, I will probably keep switching around some cars. Well, there you have it for the most part.

The Scud and the Murci LP640 are two cars that i would have to add to my list.
