Can't argue about those two.
The Bandit TA is what got me into American cars in the first place. I'd add:
1978 Cobra II with window slats, 70's graphics and everything.

That's the main three realistic ones and even those are not likely to happen any time soon due to lack of space and money.

Keeping the cars to under 20k each:

Sierra Cosworth RS500 - Black
MK1 Escort RS Turbo - White
1964 Mustang 289 Convertible - Red
Corvette ZR1 - Black
Dodge Viper - Original version - Red


I'd estimate that's about 80k total.

Least American garage on here, no supprise there then.

Realistic garage
RX7 RS Turbo 2 (13B) manual 6 speed
Holden HSV GTS Coupe 4 Monaro supercharger (the one they never released over here)
Noble M12 GTO 3R (not M400)
Autobacs Garaiya RS-01 (bet none of you have ever heard of one of these)
Mitsubishi EVO 5 GSR Zero Fighter

Non realistic garage
Ultima GTR640
Porsche Dauer 962
AMG SLK GTR
Porsche 935 Turbo
JUN R33 Skyline (the 1000BHP one)

Shame we are limited to 5, I could spend all day listing the cars I would like to have. As could we all I suspect.

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.

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.

Here's my five but I've always had exspensive tastes so you can forget £20K (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

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.

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,

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

All reasonably realistic I think.....
