Four cylinders is definitely chick territory, although I am sure there are some exceptions.
You mean, like this? :)

The new Thunderbird is a woman's car. What many needs a porthole ?
This may shock you, but the original Thunderbird's hardtop option also featured the porthole. The new T-Bird is a design tribute to the original car, and not a bad one, either.

The Hurst Olds 442. Definite guy car.

Agreed, it is a great car.
Of course, the all around best car for your money is the Acura CL. Every option imaginable, drives great in the snow, and it handles great.
Of course, that is what I drive. :D 0-60 in seven seconds and with a type S, it goes much faster. All of that for under 35000$.
If you go with a new car that will beat the type S, it is going to cost you a BOATLOAD of money. Besides, the people that can afford to have a car that is two seconds faster then mine SELDOM can even come close to being able to drive it correctly.
Aint I cool? ;)

You were right! And just to REALLY get the guys going, here's some
absolute "Guy Cars"
2003 MACH 1 Mustang, 300hp
2003 Mustang COBRA, 390hp, stock blower.
And, finally:
2003 Ford GT-40, 500hp mid-engined 'Vette/Viper competition, for about a hundred grand.
If I seem a little "Ford Biased", it's probably because they've introduced some pretty exciting stuff in just the last few months, and have my attention, to say the least.

Nissan Skyline GTR Only sold in Japan, but definitely a man's car. All wheel drive, all wheel steering, tweak it to 1000 hp, etc......

Normally, I dont much care for Mustangs but... UN FREAKIN BELIEVABLE!!!
Porsche 911 Turbo is a great car. Lexus SC400(I normally dont like Lexus but these haul ass.) flys and Infiniti's new Q45 is very fast with over 340 Horsepower.
Mercedes SLK class is very cool as well.
Chick cars: Mitubishi Eclipse, I cant believe no one mentioned this one!

Steve McQueen is probably the only movie star to have driven race cars with the big boys in some of the major race circuits Craig Nelson and Jason Priestly are pretty dedicated part time racers that fool around in some big sports car races.
Paul Newman though is the real deal, he's won several major sports car championships and can drive with anybody in the world.

Glad you like. I started a couple of threads on the new Mustangs in the General Interest section, a keyword search should pop you there, and they're bookmarked at my homepage. Oh, and in 2004 the BOSS 302 will return, looking something like this:
This "Guy's Car"(ANY vehicle with an American V-8, rear drive, and a name like "BOSS 302" surely qualifies) is discussed in Automobile magazine's May 2002 issue, and is previewed at Autoth!ng.com.

Mercedes SLK class is very cool as well.
Gah! No way! That's every bit as much of a chick car as a Miata or VW Cabrio. They look like they are based on the convertible Geo Metro. I have yet to see a man driving one of those.
Now the Mercedes SL-class, that's a totally--totally--different story. :)

Bookmarked your page for later viewing.
Nice job you have there. I tried to let the guys at our airshow let me take a look inside the Orion but they were packing up and would not let me. At least thats what they said.
I have never managed to see the inside of an Orion or a Hawkeye. Oh well, someday!

You forgot the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, I have an '01, it comes with a blown 380 hp 5.4 L single over head cam V-8.
I added a performance chip and it now has 425 HP...here is a pic::

I like the CL myself, but to be honest the best Acura I've ever had the chance to drive was the 1988 Legend that belonged to my favourite uncle. Right now, I'm driving a nice 2000 Dodge Intrepid - has some giddyap and is a comfortable, smooth driver, nice understated looker. That's all I really need in a car.

AMG Hummer: I have a daughter named Bitsy and a son named Cole My daughter's name is Marissa. I wish I owned the one I used to drive. If I ever have that kind of money, I'll go to the factory and tell them "I want it in matte olive drab, plain interior and a soft top." That way, I won't give a rat's ass when I scratch it going through the trees, and when it's covered with mud, I just get a firehose and clean it off - inside and out.
