Old school vs. New school

[DiscusnAfricans]

There seem to be a lot of people here into cars. If you had to pick one car from the "good ol' days" and one car fom the present, what would they be? If you had to pick just one, what would it be? I'd say cut off for old school would be 1980. My picks:
Old school: '69 Camaro RS or Stingray vette
New school: M3 BMW or 911 turbo

[UNCLERUCKUS]

57 chevy is a close 2nd favorite.

 

[SubMariner]

1969 Chevelle SS Super Sport (Scarlet Red)

2010 Aston Martin (Metallic Sky Blue)

A Super sport Golf cart with a small keg orator built in to drive around the yard and house with.

A 2010 Mach 5 BMW to drive to the Super Market.

Nobody is going with the REAL classics?
AC Shelby Cobra. Definitely. But not a kit, a REAL one
New would be a draw between a Saleen S7 (not the Mustang) or Maserati Gran Tourismo S. Yummy.

Up there would also be the Fisker (look it up! One hella SEXY 4-door), early (like '02) Koenigsegg, or a very sentimental fav Z3 //M Coupe.

I know. that's more than two cars, I don't follow directions very well sometimes. AND I find the question TERRIBLY limiting given all the choices!

Old school is a 67-68 Shelby GT Mustang (Sexy) "Eleanor" from the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds"
New school I would have to say Audi R8. (Hot)

I had a 72 Pontiac Fire Bird Formula & Kevin had a 72 Pontiac Trans Am
New car would be a Vette!

I had a friend who used to own a Pantera. It is a muscle car in a euro-styled body. That car could fly.

I wanted (and still may) to build a GT-40 kit car. The original GT-40 is one of my favorite cars, just don't have million bucks laying around to buy one. A kit car will still cost of $100k to build.

 

[Pat Kelly]

The newer version of the GT40 the GT was a lot cheaper than a mil. lol
But still out of my range.

If I did a kit it would be the AC cobra. Big block crate motor.
Right out of the Ford Motorsport Catalog. Then again everybody does those. Maybe the GT40 would be good. But no garage. No car. Wont fit in my shed with my bike.
